Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following the questions.
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve it,
and that the easiest way to do it was to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North
American Indians produced pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the
Scandinavians made stock fish and the Arabs dried dates and apricots.
All foods contain water – cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% wave,
potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60%
depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food
to bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also
in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used carry, but in general the fruit is spread
out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and
apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making prunes, and
certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in
order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of
drying.
Nowadays most of foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such
dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about
1100C at entry to about 45 0C at exit. This is usual method for drying such things as vegetables,
minced meat, and fish.
