Question

If while packing of jams, the temperature is too high, they thicken to a large extent and then they’re difficult to remove.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question during a job interview.

This intriguing question originated from Fruits, Vegetables and Milk Processing topic in portion Fruits, Vegetables and Milk Processing, Meat Processing and Oil Processing of Food Engineering

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

To explain I would say: If while packing of jams, the temperature is too low, they thicken to a large extent and then they’re difficult to remove. If the temperature is too high, water condenses on the inside of the container and sugar dilutes and stays on the top of the jam.
