FSHN Exam 5 Study Guide – Food Science and Human Nutrition –
Comprehensive Review Material
fortification - ANS ✔✔Add nutrients at levels higher than those found in the original food
Nutritional Additives - ANS ✔✔ingredients that provide essential nutrients that are lost in
processing or lacking in the diet
Sensory Agents - ANS ✔✔additives that enhance the appearance, flavor, or texture of a food
Food additives - ANS ✔✔any substance added to a food product
Antimicrobials - ANS ✔✔additives that inhibit the growth of pathogenic or spoilage
microorganisms
Processing Agents - ANS ✔✔Additives that improve the processability of the foods
Enrichment - ANS ✔✔adds back nutrients lost during processing
antioxidants - ANS ✔✔additives that inhibit chemical oxidation reactions that result in losses in
food quality
Preservatives - ANS ✔✔additives that inhibit or slow microbial and chemical reactions that
contribute to losses in quality
Packaging Materials - ANS ✔✔Materials that enclose or protect products for distribution,
storage, sale, and use.
, Modified Atmosphere Packaging - ANS ✔✔modifying the atmosphere inside the package to
maintain quality and extend the shelf-life of food products
Tertiary Containers - ANS ✔✔containers used to package several containers together for
shipping and distribution
Secondary Container - ANS ✔✔container that holds multiple primary containers
Vacuum Packaging - ANS ✔✔removing all air from a package prior to sealing
Paper Packaging Materials - ANS ✔✔packaging materials derived from wood pulp
primary container - ANS ✔✔container that is in direct contact with food
metal packaging materials - ANS ✔✔packaging materials made from steel or aluminum
glass packaging materials - ANS ✔✔amorphous product made from silica to bottles and jars
plastic packaging materials - ANS ✔✔packaging materials produced from polymers of
hydrocarbon building blocks
Aseptic Packing - ANS ✔✔packaging method in which the food and packaging material are
sterilized independently, then packaged in a sterile environment
The following would not be an example of a nutritional additive - ANS ✔✔a- VItamin D
b- calcium
