A. Look through the titles and guess what this unit is about.
What do you know about vitamins? Are they really necessary for
our organism’s activity?
VITAMINS
Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and
develop normally. There are 13 vitamins your body needs. They are
vitamins A, C, D, E, K and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin,
niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and
folate). You can usually get all your vitamins from the foods you eat.
Your body can also make vitamins D and K. People who eat a
vegetarian diet may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement.
Each vitamin has specific jobs. If you have low levels of
certain vitamins, you may develop a deficiency disease. For example,
if you don't get enough vitamin D, you could develop rickets. Some
vitamins may help prevent medical problems. Vitamin A prevents
night blindness.
The best way to get enough vitamins is to eat a balanced diet
with a variety of foods. In some cases, you may need to take a daily
multivitamin for optimal health. However, high doses of some
vitamins can make you sick.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells
against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules
produced when your body breaks down food, or by environmental
exposures like tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals can
damage cells, and may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other
diseases.

MINERALS
Minerals are important for your body to stay healthy. Your
body uses minerals for many different jobs, including building bones,
making hormones and regulating your heartbeat. There are two kinds
of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals are
minerals your body needs in larger amounts. They include calcium,
phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfur.
Your body needs just small amounts of trace minerals. These include
iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride and selenium.
The best way to get the minerals your body needs is by eating a wide
variety of foods. In some cases, your doctor may recommend a
mineral supplement.
CALCIUM
You have more calcium in your body than any other mineral.
Calcium has many important jobs. The body stores more than 99
percent of its calcium in the bones and teeth to help make and keep
them strong. The rest is throughout the body in blood, muscle and the
fluid between cells. Your body needs calcium to help muscles and

A. Here is the extract devoted to food preservation methods.
Give a quick look at them and say which of them is more often used
in your family. Is it possible to store food without making use of
these methods?
FOOD PRESERVATION
The nutrients that give us energy and help us maintain good
health also cause our food to spoil. There are innumerable micro-
organisms in the atmosphere that derive their nutrition from these
nutrients by breaking them into simpler forms. As these minute life
forms start disintegrating the nutrients, they set off the process of
food spoilage. With the knowledge of the role that micro-organisms
play in spoiling food, a number of methods of food preservation have
been developed by man. All these methods work by altering
conditions like temperature, availability of water or oxygen in the
food, or in the environment in which the food is stored. Changing or
altering these factors hinders the growth of these minute organisms,
and hence prevents food spoilage.
DRYING
Drying is a method of food preservation that works by
removing water from the food, which inhibits the growth of
microorganisms. Open air drying using sun and wind has been
practiced since ancient times to preserve food. A solar or electric
food dehydrator can greatly speed the drying process and ensure
more-consistent results. Water is usually removed by evaporation (air
drying, sun drying, smoking or wind drying) but, in the case of
11

SUGARING
Sugar is used to preserve fruits, either in syrup with fruit such
as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums or in crystallized form
where the preserved material is cooked in sugar to the point of
crystallisation and the resultant product is then stored dry. This
method is used for the skins of citrus fruit (candied peel), angelica
and ginger.. The use of sugar is often combined with alcohol for
preservation of luxury products such as fruit in brandy or other spirits.
CANNING
Canning is a method of preserving food in which the food
contents are processed and sealed in an airtight container. Canning
provides a typical shelf life ranging from one to five years, although
under specific circumstances a freeze-dried canned product, such as
canned, dried lentils, can last as long as 30 years in an edible state.
CHEMICAL PRESERVATIVES
The use of chemical preservatives is regulated by maximum
permitted levels. These amounts vary between countries. Processors
should check with their local authorities for the local regulations and
for the regulations in the country of sale.
Chemical preservatives cannot be used to cover up for poor quality
raw materials. They are only added as a precaution to extend the
shelf life of products by inhibiting microbial spoilage.
Some chemical preservatives can taint the flavour of fruit juices if
the recommended level is exceeded. Some consumers prefer to
consume fruit juices with no chemical additives. They may be
prepared to pay a premium for these products.
FOOD IRRADIATION
Food irradiation is the process of exposing food to ionizing
radiation to destroy microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, or insects that
might be present in the food. Further applications include sprout
inhibition, delay of ripening, increase of juice yield, and
improvement of re-hydration. Irradiated food does not become
radioactive, but in some cases there may be subtle chemical changes.

A. Do you know what taboo food is? What reasons are there
for some food being forbidden? Read the text given below and
check if you are right.
B. Fill in the gaps with the words which the text lacks.
Choose among the following ones: cloven; consumption; between;
holy; exported; beverages; kill; ecological.
TABOO FOOD
Taboo food is food and 1___________ which people abstain
from consuming for religious, cultural or hygienic reasons. Many
food taboos forbid the meat of a particular animal, including
mammals, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and crustaceans. Some
taboos are specific to a particular part or excretion of an animal,
while other taboos forgo the 2__________ of plants, fungi, or insects.
The origins of these prohibitions and commandments are varied. In
some cases, these taboos are a result of health considerations or other
practical reasons. In others, they are a result of human symbolic
systems. Some foods may be prohibited during certain festivals, at
certain times of life (e.g., pregnancy), or to certain classes of people
(e.g., priests).
CATTLE
Many Hindus, particularly Brahmins, are vegetarian,
abstaining from eating meat. Those Hindus who do eat meat abstain
from the consumption of beef, as the cow holds a sacred place in

HORSES
Horse meat is part of the cuisine of countries as widespread as
Italy with 900 g per person per year, Netherlands, Belgium, France,
Switzerland, where horse meat is common in supermarkets, Germany
with only 50 g per person per year, Polynesia, Serbia, Slovenia and
Kazakhstan, but is taboo in some religions and many countries. It is
forbidden by Jewish law, because the horse is not a ruminant, nor
does it have 5___________ hooves.
Horse meat is forbidden by some sects of Christianity.
Horsemeat is still popular in Iceland and is sold and consumed in the
same way as beef, lamb and pork.
In Islam, opinions vary as to the permissibility of horse meat.
Some cite a hadith forbidding it to Muslims, but others doubt its
validity and authority. Various Muslim cultures have differed in the
attitude in eating the meat. Historically, Turks and Persians have
eaten the meat while in North Africa this is rare.

We tend not to get too aggressive when we clink glasses these
days, but back when goblets and flagons were made of wood and
metal, vigorous collisions were the object. This lively jostling caused
the contents of glasses to spill over and intermix, signifying a trust
that neither companion had slipped the other a mickey.

The next time you're invited to dinner in Portugal, don't show
up with a bottle of Bordeaux. Portuguese wine tradition dates back to
the ancient days of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans, and the
Portuguese wear this wine making history like a badge of honor.
Procuring anything other than Portuguese wine upon arrival is
considered an affront to both host and country.

Everyone chills white wine, but who warms their reds?
Mulled wine has a rich tradition in many European countries and it is
usually served hot. Scandinavia's glogg, for example, has an ideal
temperature of around 70 degrees F. These belly-warming spiced
wines are relished during the cold months of winter.

In Moldova, wine was once eaten as often as it was drunk.
The writings of the Roman poet Ovid from the time when he was
exiled there contain accounts of the local habit of concentrating wine
by freezing it for consumption at a later date.
5_________
Thousands of years ago, throughout the Middle East and
Mediterranean, wines were consumed when people were still quite
young. This resulted in a wealth of traditional recipes for masking
the green flavors of premature wine with potent additives such as
honey and cloves. Another common practice was to water down wine
to dampen the flavor and reduce the amount of alcohol consumed.

If you think the best way to get European wines into
California is through customs, think again. Thanks to rich soil and
ideal climate conditions, California vintners have successfully grown
virtually every variety of grape found elsewhere in the world. Once
upon a time this involved drastic measures such as cutting vines in
27
Copyright ООО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»
France, sticking the cuttings into potatoes to survive the voyage, and
finally re-planting them in California, where they eventually
flourished. Golden State vintners have also created exciting new
wine-grape varieties by grafting foreign vines onto the existing stalks
in their vineyards.

Even in death, royals in ancient Egypt enjoyed a higher
standard of living than most commoners. As provisions for the
afterlife, it was prescribed that five large jars containing the different
wines of the region be included in every royal tomb.

Grapes came to the New World with Spanish conquistadors in
a variety known as Mission grapes. The Catholic celebration of the
Eucharist in Spanish missions and elsewhere required wine, which
was to be converted into the blood of Christ. In order to carry out the
sacred tradition on this side of the Atlantic, the Spanish had to bring
their vines with them.

UNIT 2
A. Read the text given below and say what facts from the
history of wine you have been aware of.
HISTORY OF WINE
The history of wine spans thousands of years and is closely
intertwined with the history of agriculture, cuisine, civilization and
humanity itself. Archaeological evidence suggests that the earliest
wine production came from sites in Georgia and Iran, dating from
6000 to 5000 BC. The archaeological evidence becomes clearer and
points to domestication of grapevine in Early Bronze Age sites of the
Near East, Sumer and Egypt from around the third millennium BC.
Evidence of the earliest European wine production has been
uncovered at archaeological sites in Macedonia, dated to 6,500 years
ago. These same sites also contain remnants of the world’s earliest
evidence of crushed grapes. In Egypt, wine became a part of
recorded history, playing an important role in ancient ceremonial life.
Traces of wild wine dating from the second and first millennium BC
have also been found in China.
Wine was common in classical Greece and Rome and many
of the major wine producing regions of Western Europe today were
established with Phoenician and later Roman plantations. Wine
making technology, such as the wine press, improved considerably
during the time of the Roman Empire; many grape varieties and
cultivation techniques were known and barrels were developed for
storing and shipping wine.
In medieval Europe, following the decline of Rome and
therefore of widespread wine production, the Christian Church
became a supporter of the wine necessary for celebration of the
Catholic Mass. Whereas wine was also forbidden in medieval
Islamic cultures, Geber and other Muslim chemists pioneered the
distillation of wine for medicinal purposes and its use in Christian
libation was widely tolerated. Wine production gradually increased
and its consumption became popularized from the 15th century
onwards, eventually establishing growing regions throughout the
world.

ANCIENT GREECE
Much modern wine culture derives from the practices of the
ancient Greeks. While the exact arrival of wine in Greek territory is
unknown, it was certainly known to both the Minoan and Mycenaean
cultures. Many of the grapes grown in modern Greece are grown
there exclusively and are similar or identical to varieties grown in
ancient times. Indeed, the popular modern Greek wine, retsina, is
believed to be a carryover from when wine jugs were lined with tree
resin, which imparted a distinct flavour to the wine.
Evidence from archaeological sites in Greece, in the form of
6,500 year-old grape remnants, represents the earliest known
appearance of wine production in Europe. Several ancient sources,
such as the Roman writer Pliny the Elder, describe the ancient Greek
method of using partly dehydrated gypsum before fermentation, and
some type of lime after fermentation, to reduce acidity. The Greek
writer Theophrastus provides the oldest known description of this
aspect of Greek wine making.
Greek wine was widely known and exported throughout the
Mediterranean basin, and was most likely the origin of the first
appearance of wine in ancient Egypt. The Greeks introduced the
Vitis vinifera vine and made wine in their numerous colonies in
modern-day Italy, Sicily, southern France, and Spain.
ANCIENT EGYPT
In Egypt, wine played an important role in ancient ceremonial
life. A thriving royal winemaking industry was established in the
Nile Delta following the introduction of grape cultivation from the
Levant to Egypt c. 3000 BC. The industry was most likely the result
of trade between Egypt and Canaan during the Early Bronze Age.
Winemaking scenes on tomb walls, and the offering lists that
accompanied them, included wine that was definitely produced at the
deltaic vineyards. By the end of the Old Kingdom, five wines, all
probably produced in the Delta, constitute a canonical set of
provisions, or fixed "menu," for the afterlife.
Much superstition surrounded wine-drinking in early
Egyptian times, largely due to its resemblance to blood. In Plutarch's
31
Copyright ООО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»
Moralia he mentions that the ancient Kings did not drink wine, "nor
use it in libation as something dear to the gods, thinking it to be the
blood of those who had once battled against the gods and from whom,
when they had fallen and had become commingled with the earth,
they believed vines to have sprung." This was considered to be the
reason why drunkenness "drives men out of their senses and crazes
them, inasmuch as they are then filled with the blood of their
forbears."
ANCIENT ROME
The Roman Empire had an immense impact on the
development of viticulture and oenology. Wine was an integral part
of the Roman diet and wine making became a precise business. As
the Roman Empire expanded, wine production in the provinces grew
to the point where the provinces were competing with Roman wines.
Virtually all of the major wine producing regions of Western Europe
today were established by the Romans.
Wine making technology improved considerably during the
time of the Roman Empire. Many grape varieties and cultivation
techniques were developed and barrels, invented by the Gauls, and
later glass bottles, invented by the Syrians, began to compete with
terracotta amphorae for storing and shipping wine.
Wine, perhaps mixed with herbs and minerals, was assumed
to serve medicinal purposes. During Roman times the upper classes
might dissolve pearls in wine for better health. Cleopatra created her
own legend by promising Mark Antony she would "drink the value
of a province" in one cup of wine, after which she drank an
expensive pearl with a cup of wine. When the Western Roman
Empire fell around 500 AD, Europe went into a period of invasions
and social turmoil, with the Roman Catholic Church as the only
stable social structure. Through the Church, grape growing and wine
making technology, essential for the Mass, were preserved.
