Question
Chapter 32, Problem 12TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The factors that might cause the uneven results in the case of experiments carried out to determine the differences between the organic and conventional farming.
Introduction:
Organic farming is the farming method in which natural fertilizers are used and the farming process is carried out without damaging the soil. It is a sustainable form of agriculture. Conventional farming is the method in which the chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used in the farming. This method damages the soil by causing pollution and it is not a sustainable form of farming.

ASK MR. GREEN: Organic Produce versus Nonorganic Produce
Dear Mr. Green:
Lately I see more and more "organic" fruits and vegetables in the supermarkets. I'm confused. Often the organic apples or strawberries aren't as red or as large as the other ones. They sometimes have
spots or insect holes. And organic produce can cost three times as much as other produce! So, tell me, what exactly are organic fruits and vegetables? And why are they so expensive?
Confused Shopper
Now Read Mr. Green's answer.
Dear Confused Shopper,
You're right. Sometimes organic produce doesn't look as nice as nonorganic produce, and it generally costs up to 50 percent more. Let me explain why.
Since about 1950, farmers have used chemicals to grow their fruits and vegetables. They use pesticides to kill insects that eat their plants. They use herbicides to kill the weeds that kill their plants. These
chemicals are a great help to farmers. By using them, farmers can grow more produce on…
Write about following food pieservatian methods for food product deveoplment arid an evaluation of their effectiveness.
a. Drying food.
b. Freezing food.
c. Fermentation.
d. Acidification
1. Staleness and sogginess are two most common problem in food product development. It
induces spoilage by increasing water activity. For that reason, the best way to reduce sogginess
from food product are quite problematic and handful.
