  • Food Technology – Sch1609
    SCHOOL OF BIO AND CHEMICAL DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING UNIT – I – FOOD TECHNOLOGY – SCH1609 FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING-FUNDAMENTALS Food processing is seasonal in nature, both in terms of demand for products and availability of raw materials. Most crops have well established harvest times – for example the sugar beet season lasts for only a few months of the year in the UK, so beet sugar production is confined to the autumn and winter, yet demand for sugar is continuous throughout the year. Even in the case of raw materials which are available throughout the year, such as milk, there are established peaks and troughs in volume of production, as well as variation in chemical composition. Availability may also be determined by less predictable factors, such as weather conditions, which may affect yields, or limit harvesting. In other cases demand is seasonal, for example ice cream or salads are in greater demand in the summer, whereas other foods are traditionally eaten in the winter months, or even at more specific times, such as Christmas or Easter. In an ideal world, food processors would like a continuous supply of raw materials, whose composition and quality are constant, and whose prices are predictable. Of course this is usually impossible to achieve. In practice, processors contract ahead with growers to synchronise their needs with raw material production. The basic physical characteristics of foodsand food products Since the physical characteristics of plant and animal food materials affect how they are to be processed, handled, stored, and consumed, knowledge of these characteristics are important to engineers, processors and food scientists, plant and animal breeders, and other scientists.

He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can find out what God has done from beginning to end.” - Ecclesiastes 3:11- I dedicated this Thesis to My angel mother, Margaretha Warayaan. iv PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRACT Tenau, Fennie Karline Rosario. 2020. Chinese Ethnic Branding Strategies and The Roles of Language in The Movie Crazy Rich Asians. Yogyakarta: English Language Studies. Graduate Program. Sanata Dharma University. Chinese attempt to show their existence in the world‘s eyes can be seen in their branding. Branding is important in the aspect of ethnicity because it creates certain assumptions about an ethnic group. They try to show their identity by using several strategies both in explicit and implicit ways. However, Chinese themselves barely participate in Hollywood movies as the main characters. Crazy Rich Asians then appears as a movie that highlights the real-life portrayal of Chinese and diaspora in real life. Much of the plot conflict focuses on the Eastern- educated family welcoming Rachel, a Chinese-American as a part of them. Most of the main characters classify themselves as culturally Chinese, so they are playing Chinese ethnicity characters.
