4. Discussion
Our topic this morning is all
Class: Yes, we did!
about, Explain the benefits derived
from food processing and
preservation.

Let’s recall again what is food

processing and food preservation.
Kindly read Erika.
Erika: Food processing is the set of
methods and techniques used to
transform raw ingredients into food or
food into other forms for consumption
by humans or animals either in the
home or by the food processing
industry.
Food processing typically takes clean,
harvested crops or slaughtered and
butchered animal products and uses
these to produce attractive,
marketable, and often long-life food
products.
Can you give me an example of food
that is being processed, yes Milo?
Milo: Breakfast Cereal, Milk and
Cheese, Teacher.

Thank you. How about food

preservation, kindly read Mardi?
Mardi: Food preservation is the
process of treating and handling food
to spoilage, loss of quality and
edibility or nutritional value and thus
allow for longer food storage.
What food usually you preserve at
your refrigerator, Jediah?
Jediah: We usually preserve food
through freezing our Fish, Meats and
vegetables, Teacher.

Let’s give a Dionesia clap for Erika,

Milo, Mardi and Jediah. Class: Dionesia Clap

Thank you. Okay class, now why do

you think we process and preserve
foods?
Yes Imee?
Imee: We preserved food to prevent
food spoilage until it can be
consumed, Teacher.
Brilliant idea, Imee.
Here are the Benefits derived
from of food processing and
preservation.

1. Safety. During food

processing, products are
treated to destroy harmful Class: Safety. During food
bacteria and extend self-life.  processing, products are treated to
destroy harmful bacteria and extend
self-life. 

What do you think are the processing

methods that destroy harmful micro-
organism? Yes, Kriscelle?
Kriscelle: Drying, pasteurization
pickling, and smoking, Teacher.
Very good Kriscelle!

Explanation: Many processing

techniques ensure the safety of foods
by reducing the numbers of
harmful bacteria that can cause
illness (e.g. pasteurization of milk).

Why do you think drying, pickling and

smoking can destroy the bacteria?
Yes Queenie? Queenie: Drying, pickling and
smoking reduce the water activity
(water available for bacterial growth).

Very well said Queenie, in addition for

that it also alters the pH of foods and
thereby restrict the growth of
pathogenic and spoilage micro-
organisms and retard enzyme
reactions. Processed foods can also
be life-saving in emergency situations
like natural disasters.

What are those processed food we

keep during calamities?
Yes, Juliefe? Juilefe: Can goods and instant
noodles, Teacher.
Very good! Let’s proceed.

Kindly Read the number 2, Darwin?

Darwin: 2. Nutritional Quality. Food
processing allows key nutrients to be
sealed in right after harvesting.
Explanation: This in turn means that
individuals get more nutrients from
the food they eat. Processed foods
can also be fortified with additional
nutrients such as vitamins, minerals,
and fiber to boost the health profile of
foods. Individuals trying to optimize
their health can consume these foods
to address their specific needs.

What examples of products you can

give with this benefit of food
processed? Yes, Chrisna? Chrisna: Del Monte Juice, Tomato
paste or sauce and chocolates,
Teacher.

Awesome!
Cooking and canning tomatoes to
make tomato paste or sauce renders
the bioactive compound lycopene.
Cocoa and chocolate processing
preserve the levels of flavonoids like
epicatechin and catechins, but their
contents can be reduced with poor
processing conditions. Lycopene and
flavonoids have antioxidant properties
which, according to some research,
contribute to maintenance of heart
health and may reduce the risk of
certain cancers.

Kindly read the number 3, Aimae?

Aimae: Convenience. Food
processing extends the shelf life of
food which means that food lasts
longer with less waste due to
spoilage.
Thank you Aimae. Do you know class
that there are types of food?

What are those types? Yes, Dominic? Class: Yes, Teacher.

Dominic: Perishable, Semi-Perishable
and Shelf Stable.
Explanation: Perishable foods such
as meat, vegetables and milk. The
application of modified atmosphere
packaging means that fruit and
vegetables can be stored at home for
longer, thus meaning less frequent
food shopping for fresh items and
less spoilage loss. Sophisticated
storage and packaging enable
convenience for the consumer.

Kindly read the number 4.

(Reducing health inequalities and

concerns).

What are your thoughts about this Reducing health inequalities and
benefit? Yes, Angielyn? concerns.

Angielyn: For me teacher, those

process foods we take have a
nutritional box at the back of the
packaging that we can check,
because Manufacturers have applied

fat-free versions of many foods and
meals.
Chronic diseases such as heart Class: 5 claps.
disease, obesity and diabetes can be
managed, in part, through dietary
strategies. In response to this,
manufacturers have applied food
processing techniques enabling
consumers to make food choices
suitable for their individual health
requirements.

Kindly read the number 5, Sheena?

Why do you think the price will be get

cheaper if it is processed foods? Sheena: Price. Food processing can
Lucille? decrease the cost of foods.

Lucille: For me teacher, processing

increases the shelf life of food and
Excellent! decreases the amount of waste,
reducing thereby overall costs of food
production.
Food processing can decrease the
cost of foods. For example, frozen
vegetables have a similar nutritional
value as fresh ones, but a lower price,
as they have already been prepared,
do not contain inedible parts, can be
bought in bulk and can last longer.
During this pandemic, did you class
preserve food at your home, and what
are those? Yes, Jelyn Mae?

Jelyn: Since it is difficult to go outside

during this pandemic, my mom
usually buys food that can’t easily

of food processing and preservation.
Yes, Bless?

Bless: For safety, Nutritional quality,

Convenience, Reducing health
inequalities and concerns and the

Excellent!
Daisy: Yes, she is.

Why is Nutritional quality being one

of the benefits of processed and
preserve food? Yes, Mechelle?

Mechelle: Processed foods can also

be fortified with additional nutrients
such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber
Very well said, Mechelle. to boost the health profile of foods,
Teacher.

How about the price of the food, is it

also one of the benefits?
Yes Gerlie?

Gerlie: Yes, Teacher. Processing

increases the shelf life and decrease

the cost of foods.

Let’s clap our hands together.

Impressive everyone you have really Class: Yes, she is.
learned a lot today! Say Hooray!
