Essays on Strawberry

Have you ever thought where your orange juice, eggs and bacon, yoghurt and coffee for breakfast come from? One of the major ways to trace a product’s travel through the food chain is the commodity chain analysis, “which seeks to trace the path of food as it moves through the global supply system, from field to table, plant to plate (and sometimes beyond to the dump)” (Belasco, 2008, p. 62). I have eaten strawberry yoghurt for the past three days and decided to analyze the commodity chain that brought it to me fridge. The principal ingredients for strawberry ...

An example of a product that has a packaging advantage is the Muller Corner Yogurt. It comes in different flavors such as Strawberry, Blueberry, Chocó Balls, Crunchy Granola, Crispy Crunch and Chocó Flakes. While most yogurts are simply packed in ordinary plastic cups, Muller prides itself in being more innovative in its product packaging. Their yogurts are packed in plastic container cups which are divided into two sections. One section contains the yogurt while the other section contains the toppings which are either fruits or crunchy cereal.

One can say that Muller yogurt’s packaging has an advantage over its competitors ...

The luscious and red strawberry vivaciously fills displays in neighborhood grocery stores. Dozens and dozens of cartons end up in shopping carts all over the country. The consumer is veiled, and blinded to the reality of all the work involved to make sure those containers are filled with strawberries. Strawberry farming, though sounds magical, is not all what it seems. Strawberry farming comes with loads of risk, primarily relies on the weather, and involves a fluctuated amount of labor intensive work. Strawberry farming relies solely on the weather and the fruit itself is so delicate that it is very susceptible ...

It was Friday morning; the busy shoppers were doing their last-minute errands for Halloween. The store was bustling with chattering people, enthusiasm was in the air. It was cold and windy outside but the warmth inside the grocery store provided a relaxing heat for a comfortable browsing of candies that would soon go on sale as quickly as the occasion was over. One family got their carts full for the day. It was a cheerful lot except for one tall and pale-faced girl wearing a smug expression on her face, her full attention on texting. She was a very ...

Introduction

The last 100 years have witnessed massive changes in food production processes. This has consequently led to a huge change in the type of the foods that humans feed on. In the past most of the food came directly from agricultural fields and was only processed minimally without the addition of many additives. However, times have changed and currently, even the word ‘food” has become hard to define given the large amount of products that tag themselves as food. Synthetic foods fill supermarkets stores, and it is so hard to determine what food product is healthy and what food product ...

Abstract

The purpose for this experiment was to explore the properties of Strawberry DNA. It was hypothesized that the DNA of a strawberry is red in color and soluble in ethanol. A Strawberry was placed in a self-sealing Zip Lock freezer bag from which air was removed. The bagged strawberry was mashed gently and 10 ml of extraction buffer was added. After further mashing of the bagged strawberry, the content of the bag was removed and filtered through cheesecloth into a test tube before adding alcohol. White clouds that resemble threads were seen floating on the surface of alcohol. These were the DNA. ...

Stability of Bioactive

Solubility of Protein has an effect on quality of foodstuffs especially with high amount of proteins. Enzyme hydrolysis of such food products increases solubility as well as thermal Stability but on the other hand, it also distorts its composition and in order to control this change, it is recommended to use controlled hydrolysis which regulates manufacture of peptides that distorts the taste of food products. This paper intends to discuss stability of bioactive compounds such as peptides and stability of bioactive in food products. The paper will further elaborate on problems associated with bioactive when added in fruits juices ...

Short Story – Margaret Jams

Two little girl scouts made their way down the quite neighbourhood street, dragging a rickety wagon behind them. Its wheels squeaked on every rotation, burdened by the dozens of boxes of cookies. The girls very in a cheerful spirit, singing songs that children often sing, skipping after every step of two they took. It was a sunny day, yet the sun seemed a little dim, its light and warmth touching the earth, but not quite. Autumn was stirring, causing leaves to waft down from the drying branches of trees. The song of the girls, the beat of their steps, their intermittent giggling, and ...

Powdery Mildew-A Disease in Strawberry

Strawberries are dicotyledonous, herbaceous, non-deciduous, perennial plants (Sarah 2007). They are widely cultivated for their fruit that is valued for its juicy quality, sweetness, bright red color, and distinctive aroma. The plant can fall victim to various diseases in its life cycle. The following paper aims at discussing the causal organism of powdery mildew disease in strawberries, its impact on the host, and environmental conditions that are needed for the disease to develop. Moreover, the paper describes steps I have undertaken in the practice class to prove the causal organism was using Koch’s Postulate.

Powdery Mildew is caused ...

Audience: General

Shaken and Stirred The first thing you see upon entering the corner bar on Bourbon Street are gold Fleur-de-lis ornaments hanging down from the ceiling. Walking in, you see a few tables and benches occupied with a middle-aged audience listening to one of the famous jazz bands that play every other night. The cozy bar creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere with pictures and posters of musicians on the bricked walls. Usually, there are two bartenders working behind the bar. They joke around, flipping plastic cups over their heads, imitating “flair bartending.” I sit down at the bar in one of ...

1. Discuss the roles of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in the provision of drugs. The role of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is to assess the therapeutic goods available in Australia, monitoring them and measuring the standards in which they are being made (PBS, 2011). Furthermore, the TGA ensures that therapeutic advances are made accessedible to the public quickly but safely. The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) is a scheme that enmakes sures that Australians throughout the country are provided access to the medicines that they need, through the administration of health care ...

Introduction

It is actually in other words referred to as Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and it really evaluates and reviews the environmental effects of a product from the time of production, process or procedure from plan and design to the time of disposal. In addition, LCA reviews the whole life cycle of a product or process and it involves the collection and assemblage of data, the evaluation and ...
