When combining ingredients at home what do we mean by the terms: • Added value • Reducing fat • Reducing sugar • Enhancing flavour By adding grated cheese to mash potato adding in extra protein By grilling or baking and using low fat foods By using natural sweeteners: honey or fruit By adding extra flavours: herbs, spices etc
Our lifestyles have altered and we depend far more on food products prepared and made in factories
When combining ingredients in industry what do we mean by the terms: • Added value • Reducing fat • Reducing sugar • Enhancing flavour It could mean making more profit or improving the image By adding water, whisking in extra air By using artificial sweeteners Did you know there are over 4000 flavourings available to a manufacturer By using additives.
Your turn to do some work: Put a title: Combining Foods and draw a table, clearly explain the differences when cooking at home compared with industrial practice.
