What is it?
Marketing Environment
The marketing environment is composed of the people, institutions, and forces
outside marketing that influences marketing management’s ability to advance and maintain
a successful and profitable relationship with its target customers and even the market as a
whole. Constantly watching and adapting to the changing marketing environment is very
vital because the marketing environment offers both opportunities and threats.
Product Development
The marketplace is never static, it is a dynamic, fast and always changing. The
demand for products is constantly shifting as needs, wants and technology changes to cope
with the new trends. As a result, business individuals and companies must always see to it
if their existing product line works to ensure that it is up to date and in line with consumer
desires. Continuous and thorough decision making must be made to know whether new
products should be added and whether old products should be removed.
When we talk of product development, we are referring to a process of making new
product to be sold by a business or enterprise to its customers and to compete with its
competitors. The product development may involve modification and changes of an existing
product that satisfies a newly defined customer’s needs, wants, and /or market place.
The term development in this lesson refers collectively to the entire process of
identifying a market opportunity, creating or making a product to appeal to the identified
market and finally, testing, modifying and refining the product until it become ready for
production to fit the demand that always change.

There are basic, yet important questions that you can ask yourself about
product development. When you find acceptable and right answers to these, you
may now say that you are ready to develop product and/or render services.
1. For whom are the product services aimed and designed at?
2. What benefit will the customers expect or apprehend from it?
3. How will the product be distinguished from the existing brand? From its
competitor?
Also, needs, and wants of the people within an area should also be taken into
big consideration.
All of us has/her own needs and wants. However, everyone has different concepts of
needs and wants.
Needs in business are vital things that every individual cannot live without I a
society.

21

These include:
1. Basic commodities for consumption
2. Clothing and other personal belongings;
3. Shelter, sanitation and health and
4. Education
Basic needs are important to an individual to live with dignity and price in a
community. These needs can help you generate or produce business idea and
subsequently, it can help to product development.
Wants are desires, luxury and extravagance that signify wealth and expensive way of
living of a person. Wants or desires are considered above all the basic necessities of life
because of its nature. Some examples of wants or desires are fashion accessories and
embellishments, expensive shoes and clothes, travelling and visiting around the world,
eating in an expensive restaurant; watching movies, concerts, having luxurious cars,
wearing high priced jewelries, perfume, living in expensive and impressive homes among
others.
Needs and wants of people are the basic indicators or basis of the kind of business or
enterprise that you may engage into because it can serve as the measure of your success.
Some other goods points that might be taken into consideration in business undertakings
are the kind of people, their needs, wants, lifestyle, culture and tradition, and social
orientation that they belong to;
To summarize, product development totally depends on the needs and wants of the
costumers. Another vital issue to deal with is the key concepts of developing a product. The
succeeding topic shall enlighten and guide you about the procedure in coming up with a
product.

Concepts of Developing a Product


Concept development is a critical and difficult phase in the development of product.
In this stage the needs of the target market are identified to are review competitive products
before the product specifications are defined. The product concept is selected together with
an economic analysis to come up with an outline of how a product is being developed.
The process of product development follows the following steps:
A. Identify Customer Needs: Using survey forms and template, interviews, researches,
focus group discussions, and observations, an entrepreneur can easily
Identify customers’ needs and wants. In this stage, the information that can be
gathered here are product specifications (performance, taste, size, color, shape, life span of
the product, etc.). This stage is very vital because this would determine the product to be
produced or provided.
A. Establish Target Specifications: Based on customized needs and reviews of
competitive products, you may now secure and establish target specifications of the
prospective new product and /or services. Target specifications are the essential and
vital wish-list.

22

B. Analyze Competitive Products: It is vital to analyze existing products to provide


important information in establishing product or services specifications. Other
products may show successful design qualities that should be emulated to improve
upon in the new product or services.

C. Generate Product Concepts: After having gone with the previous steps, you may
now develop a number of product concepts to see what types of product or services
are both technically feasible, applicable and would best meet the requirements of the
target specifications.

D. Select a Product Concept: Through the process of evaluation between attributes


and qualities, a final concept is selected. After the final selection, additional and new
market research can be made to obtain feedback from certain selected customers.

E. Refine Product Specifications: In this stage, product or services specifications are


specifically refined on the basis of input from the foregoing activities. Final
specifications are the result of extensive and thorough study, expected service life,
projected selling price and among others are being considered in this stage.

F. Perform Economic Analysis: Throughout the process of product development. It is


very important to always review the development expenses to estimate the economic
implications regarding the manufacturing costs, and selling price of the product or
services to be offered or provided by your business.

G. Plan the Remaining Development Project: In this stage of concept development, It


is vital to prepare a detailed development plan which includes list of activities, the
necessary resources and expenses, and development schedule with milestone for the
purposes of tracking.

In this lesson, you will finally develop a brand of your

Good Luck and enjoy!
Generating Ideas for Business
To some people, coming up with ideas is easy. For others, its nearly impossible. Ideas
give the start to everything. Though it may seem very easy to generate cool business ideas,
sometimes you just cannot find inspiration for this and difficult to start. Lack of
information prevents or hinders you from coming up with really successful idea.
The process of developing and generating business idea is not a simple process or
method. Some people just come up to a bunch of business idea but are not really feasible or
realistic. There are two problems that might arise, first is the excessive generation of ideas
that can forever remain dreaming stage and the second is when they don’t have and don’t
want to become entrepreneurs.
When we talk of product development, we are referring to a process of making a new
product to be sold by a business or enterprise to its prospected customers. The product
development may involve modification or alteration of an existing product.
The most optimal way is to have a systematic and orderly approach in generating
and selecting business idea that will be transferred in real business.
Here are some basic yet very vital considerations that may be used to generate
possible ideas fir business.
1. Examine existing goods, and services. How satisfied are you with the existing
product? How can it be improved? There are many ways of improving and
reconstructing a product from the way it is made to the way it is packed and sold.
You can also improve the materials used in crafting the product and make it yours.
Also, you can introduce new ways and techniques of using the product, making it
more useful and adaptable to the customers’ many needs.

 When you are improving the product or enhancing it, hence, you are doing an
innovation. You can also do an invention by introducing an entirely new
product to replace the old one to be in the trend.
 You can generate business ideas by examining what goods and services are
sold outside by the community. Often, these products are sold in a form that
can still be enhanced. Examples are raw products.
34

2. Examine the present and future needs. Look and listen to what the customers,
institutions, and communities do not have in terms of goods and services. Most of
the time, these needs are already present but is not notice. Some needs are only felt
in the future, making the unnoticeable. For example, a province will have its
electrification facility in the next ten months. Only by that time will the entrepreneur
could think of electrically -powered or generated businesses that works using
electricity.
3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. The needs for the products and services
are referred to as market demand. In order to satisfy these needs, one must supply
the product and services that meet the demands of the market. The term markets
refers to someone who will use or buy the products or services, and these may be
people or institutions such as other businesses, establishments, organizations, or
government agencies. Sometime, it could be your own.
 There is a very good business opportunity when there is absolutely no supply
to a pressing market demand of the community.
 Businesses or industries in the certain locality also have needs for goods and
services.
You can have a good source of ideas for business by looking their needs for
raw materials, maintenance, and other services such as selling and
distribution
4. Examine the available resources around you. You can observe what materials or
skills are available in your area. A business can be started out of a available and
existing raw materials by selling them in raw form and by processing and
manufacturing them into finished products.

For example, in a pine apple producing town, there will be many pineapples leaves
available as waste products. These can be collected and made into pineapple rags or
doormats and sold profitably inside and outside the community.
 Everyone can harness their own business skills. For example, women in a
certain place possessed cooking skills that have been passed on from one
generation to another. Some communities there set up food businesses to
serve and cater to tourists and other communities. Business ideas may come
from your own skills. The work and experience you may have in Technology
and Livelihood Education classes will provide you with business opportunities
to acquire the needed skill which will earn you extra income, and should you
decide to engage or join in income-generating activities. With your skills, you
can earn something which you didn’t expect.
5. Read magazines, news articles, and other publications and advertisement on new
products and techniques or advances in technology. You can pick up new business
ideas from different resources such as newspapers and magazines. The internet also
serves as a library where you may browse and surf on possible businesses that you
like. It will also guide you on how to put the right product in the right place, at the
right price, at the right time and right source.

35

Finding Value
People buy for a reason, everyone does. There should be something in your
product or service that would give reasons to consumers to go back and buy for more.
There must be something that has to make you the best preference for your target
customers; otherwise they have no reason to buy what you’re selling. This indicates
further, that you offer something to your customers that they will make them value or
treasure your product or service.
The value that you incorporate or tie in to your product is called value
proposition. Value proposition is a believable collection of the most persuasive reasons
or basis people should notice you and take the action you’re asking for Value is made by
fulfilling deep desires and solving deep problems. This is the reason why people get
moving, what people gets spending for your product or service.

Innovation
Innovation is the introduction of something new features in your product or
service. This may be a new or similar idea, a new method or a device. If you desire to
increase your sales and profit, you must innovate. Some of the possible innovations and
changes in your products are change of packaging, improve taste, color, size, shape and
perhaps price. Some of the common possible innovations in providing services are
application of new improved methods, additional featured services and possibly freebies.

Unique Selling Proposition (USP)


Unique Selling Proposition is the factor or consideration conferred by a seller as
the reason that one product or service is different from and better that that of the
competition. Before you can begin to sell your product or service to your target
customers, you have to sell yourself on it and believe to it. This is especially important
when your product or service is the same to those around you. USP would need careful
analysis of other businesses ads and marketing messages. If you analyze what they say
or what they sell, not just their product or service characteristics, you can know a great
deal about how companies distinguish themselves from competitors.
Here’s how to discover your USP and use it to gain your sales and profit.
 Use empathy: Put yourself in the shoes of your customers. Always aim on the needs
of the target customers and forget falling in love with your own product or service.
Always remember, you are making this product or providing for the target customers
to eventually increase sales and ern profit and not making this product or services
for you. Very essential question such as what could make them back again and
ignore competition should be asked to oneself. Most possible answers may focus on
quality, availability, convenience, cleanliness, and reliability of the product or
service.
 Identify what motivates your customers. It is very important for you to know and
find out what drives and motivates your customers to buy your product or service.
Make some moves to find out , analyze and utilize the information what motivates
the customers in their decisions to purchase the product or service.

36

 Discover the very reasons why customers buy your product instead of a
competitor’s.
Information is very important in decision making. A competitive entrepreneur always
improve their products or services to provide contentment and of course retention of
customers. As your business expands, you should always consider the process of
asking your customers important information and question that you can use to
improve your product or service.

Key Concepts of Selecting a Business Idea.


Once you have embarked on identifying business opportunities, you will
eventually see that there are many possibilities that are available for you. It is very not
likely that you will have enough resources to pursue all of them at once.
You have to choose the most promising one among hundreds of ideas, it will
be good to do this in stages. In the first stage, you examine your ideas to narrow them down
to about few choices. In the next stage, cut down the choices to two options. In the final
stage, select between the two and decide which business idea is worth pursuing.

In screening your ideas, examine everything in terms of the following factors:


1. How much capital is needed to put up the business or enterprise?
2. How big is the demand for the product/services? Do many people need these
product/services and will continue to need it for a long time?
3. How is the demand met? Who processed the products to meet the needs (competition
or demand)?
How much of the need is now being attain (supply)?
4. Do you have the background and experiences needed to manage the particular
business?

regulation?
6. Is the business in line with your concern and expertise?
Your answer to these questions will be vital in screening which ones among your many
ideas are worth examining further and worth pursuing.

“Dish and Ingredients Preparation”

What’s In?
What’s In?
In the previous topic, you learned how to purchase products wisely. That by choosing
the right products, you will be able to get the right ingredients for the foods that you
planned to prepare.

What’s In?
In this module, you will learn the safety handling procedures in making meals. Also,
you will learn how to quantify recipes and the important temperatures in food preparation.

What is it? In?


What’s
What’s In?
Meal Preparation
Meal Preparation is a series of activities that start from washing, peeling, and cutting
of foods for cooking. In preparing meal, we need to ensure the good quality of food. Food
quality is a composite of several criteria determined by stimuli coming from food and
attitude of values attached by the consumer to food. A food is considered pleasant to eat if
it is nutritious, palatable, sanitary, digestible, and economical. In food preparation, it is
substantial to use and measure ingredients accurately to achieve consistency and right
taste and form a good presentation on the food that we prepare.
Food Safety Handling
The safety assurance of everybody should be ensured at all times. It should be first
and foremost consideration of every person at home and elsewhere, and utmost in food
hadling.
67
Food safety handling is one of the most essential concerns of any food service
operation. It includes storage, preparation, and disposal. The kitchen, being the production
area of food preparation, should be kept tidy and safe. Hazards and risks in the kitchen
should be identified as early as possible so outbreak of food borne illness could be
controlled.
Food must be safety taken cared of when it is served to the guest, too. Suitable tools
like service gear, tongs, and scoops, should be used while serving food. Dining materials
must be handles well. When handling plates, it should be handled by their outer surfaces
and edges, flatware by its handles, and glassware by its foot. Disposable gloves are
recommended. Do not re-used unused and uneaten food unless it is individually packed
containers.
Three basic areas to be considered in ensuring proper sanitation standards in the food
production facility
1. Hygiene of the individual food handlers themselves. Every sanitation program, no
matter how well conceived, would certainly fail, if food handlers themselves lack
personal hygiene.
2. Ensure proper sanitation practices in the food preparation facilities and equipment
which is essential to ensure proper sanitation.
3. Finally, the procedures and production practices have to be reviewed and possible
sources of contamination and unsanitary conditions eliminated and improved.
Food handler
Identifying common hazards and risks in the kitchen is not enough. These should be
immediately and properly addressed to ensure the safety of food being prepared. The food
handler in the home kitchen can spread infections. It is essential then for each person
handling foods to practice personal hygiene.
Food handler is anyone who works in a food business and who handles food and
surfaces that are likely to be in contact with foods such as cutlery, plates and bowls.
He/She may do many various things for a food business, which include cooking, preparing,
serving , packing, displaying, and storing food. Food handlers can also take part in
manufacturing, producing, collecting, extracting, processing, transporting, delivering,
thawing, and preserving food.
Employees must practice splendid personal hygiene when serving food. This must
begin with a clean uniform and an effective hair restraint.
 Food handlers must avoid touching food with bare hands
 Food handlers must use tongs, serving spoons, disposable gloves, or deli tissue when
handling meats, cheeses, prepared salads, or when making sandwiches
 Food service crew must hold serving utensils by the handle only, and they must
never touch the part of the utensils that comes into contact with foods.
 A single utensil should be used for each food items, and the utensils should be
stored in the food between uses.
 Always store serving utensils in a way that permits the food service crew to grab the
handle without touching the food.

68

Cross Contamination
It is the physical movement/activity or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person,
object or place to another. Prevent cross contamination is the key factor in preventing food
borne illness.

The bacteria can transfer from:


1. Hand to food Contamination- Takes place when contaminated hands handle
cooked or ready to eat foods.
How to avoid hand to food contamination:
 Wash hands properly
 Cover cuts, sores, and wounds
 Keep fingernails short, unpolished and clean
 Refrain wearing jewelry, except for plain ring.
2. Food-to-food Contamination- Happens when harmful organisms from one food
contaminate other foods ( raw meats, thawing meat on top of the shelf where it
can drip/plop on the other foods)
How to avoid Food to Food Contamination
 Store/place cooked foods that will not be cooked in the refrigerator on a
higher shelf than raw foods.
 Wash fruits and vegetables in a cold running water
 Do not let raw meat and raw vegetables be prepared or ready on the
same surface at the same time.
3. Equipment to Food Contamination
How to avoid Equipment to Food Contamination
 Use separate/different cutting boards for different foods ( meat-veg)
 Place raw foods in separate/different areas from fresh and ready to eat
foods
 Clean and sanitize equipment, work surfaces and utensils after
preparations of food.
 Use particular containers for various food products.
 Do not used cloth and paper towel for any other purposes
The Role of Government in Food Safety
The purpose of government regulation in food safety is to oversees the food producing
system and protect food intended foe human consumption. Governmental agencies enforce
laws and rules to protect food against contamination. Regulatory personnel watch both the
process and the product to ensure the safety of the food we eat.
There are several federal regulatory agencies, such as the Department of Health
(DOH), National Nutrition Council (NNC), Bureau of Food and Drug Administration and
Department of Agriculture ( DA ), that set food safety standards/guidelines to make our
food supply safer. They are also tasked accordingly to create, implement, and develop the
quality of foods to maintain the health and security of the market.
The Role of the Food industry/ Manufacturers in Food Safety
The food industry/manufacturer is assuming greater responsibility for overseeing the
safety of its own processes and products. Customers look forward and deserve food that is
safe to eat. If a food establishment is involved in a food borne disease outbreak, customers
may retaliate by taking their business elsewhere or by seeking legal action. Financial loss
and damaged reputation are some of the outcomes of a food borne disease outbreak that
can cause serious harm to the establishment found responsible for the problem.
69
One means of preventing the harmful effects of a food borne disease outbreak is to start a
food safety management, program in the food establishment. This helps ensure proper
safeguards are used during food production, handling and display. The ability to prove that
a food system was in place at the time of food borne disease outbreak occurred is very
important.
The Seven Principles of HACCP
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is the best system for assurance
of food safety.
1. Identify hazards and assess their severity and risk- defined in the Food Code, means
biological , chemical, or Physical property that may cause an unacceptable consumer
health risk.
2. Identify the Critical Control Points(CCP) in Food preparation- a critical control point
for raw chicken would be the final cooking step because this is the last opportunity
to eliminate or reduce the salmonella to a safe level.
3. Establish critical limit for precautionary measure associated with each identified
CCP- for example, time and end-point cooking temperatures should be established
for cooking procedures.
4. Establish procedures to monitor/see CCPs- example of these procedures may include
visual evaluation and time temperature measurements.
5. Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring shows that a critical
limit has been exceeded/surmount- for example, the receiving procedures should
indicate that the frozen products with evidence of thawing be rejected.
6. Establish effective record-keeping system that document the HACCP system-
traditional record such as receiving records, temperature charts, and recipes can
serve as the basis for documentation.
7. Establish procedures to verify that the system is working- this may be as simple as
reviewing records on timely, routine basis or as complex as conducting
microbiological test.
Six Conditions where Bacteria Propaganda and Multiply (FATTOM)
1. Food- bacteria feed on Protein and Carbohydrates. Foods that contain these
items can be the bedding of the growth of microorganisms
 Potentially Hazardous Foods have the potential for contamination. They
have the attributes to allow microorganisms to grow and multiply.
How to Limit the Growth of Bacteria in Food
 Purchase from reputable suppliers
 Avoid cross-contamination of food
 Cook food to safe internal temperature and examine with food thermometer
2. Acidity- bacteria grows best at a slightly acidic and slightly neutral environment
of (pH 4.6 to 7.5)
o Some bacteria can develop a spore such as acidophilic bacteria, where it
could grow and propagate in an acidic environment.
o Bacteria such as E-coli can grow in unpasteurized apple (certain fruits)
that has a pH value of 4.0 0 4.6 7.0 12 14 Acidic Neutral Alkaline. If the
pH is: Below 4.5 Bacteria will not grow; between 4.6 to 7.0 Bacteria will
thrive; between 7.0 to 9.0 Bacteria might survive.
How to control Acidity to Control the Growth of bacteria.
o Highly acidic food such as vinegar and lemon restrict the growth of
microorganism.
o Salad dressing made with vinegar, oil and garlic may be used as a
marinade for meat.
70

3. Temperature- Temperature Danger Zone – temp. range 41F-140F (5C-60C)


Food borne bacteria grow and reproduce.
Temperature Abuse happens when foods that have not been to safe temperature
or kept at the proper temperature
Psychrophilic bacteria grows within the temperature range of 32 F ( 0 C)- 70 F (
21 C ) spoilage organisms)
Mesophilic bacteria grows at temperature of 70 F (21 C )- 110 F (43 C)
Thermophilic bacteria can grow best above 110 F ( 43 C)
How to Control Temperature to control/limit the growth of bacteria
o Cold foods, must be stored 41 Fahrenheit or below
o Hot foods, must be held at 140 Fahrenheit ( 60 C ) and above
o You must control the temperature of food during storing , preparing,
cooking , holding, re-heating, and serving .
o You should check internal temperature regularly
o You should cook foods at a required internal temperature with a food
thermometer
o Make sure to keep foods out of Temperature Danger Zone

4. Time-under ideal circumstances, bacterial cells multiply and can double in


number every 25 minutes to 30 minutes.
o Pathogen starts to multiply in four hours at the Temperature Danger Zone

How to control Time to control/limit the growth of bacteria


o You should store received foods as quickly as possible to limit the time in
Temp. Danger Zone
o If the food will not be cooked or served immediately, store it inside the
refrigerator or freezer.
o Check temperature on holding cabinets. Make sure that it maintains the
internal of 135 Fahrenheit and above.
o Documents/make a record of food inside the storage room, practice First
in First Out
o Re-heat foods at the internal temperature of 1.65 F for 15 seconds
5. Oxygen
o Bacteria differs in their oxygen requirement.

Anaerobic bacteria- this type of bacteria cannot survive when oxygen is present
because it is toxic to them. Anaerobic bacteria grow well in vacuum packaged foods
or canned foods where oxygen is unavailable.
Aerobic bacteria on the other hand-needs oxygen to grow.
Facultative anaerobic bacteria- these bacteria can grow with or without free oxygen
but have a preference.
Microaerophilic organisms – can survive in a very little amount of oxygen
How to Control Oxygen to Control/limit the growth of Microorganism
o Bacteria grow in different oxygen requirement. It is difficult to control this
condition.
o Bacteria such as Clostridium Botulinum and Clostridium Perfringens live
without the presence of oxygen. It is important to cool foods in a shallow
pan.

71
6. Moisture- Moisture is an important factor in bacterial growth. It is the amount of
water available for bacterial activity:
Water Activity level- is the measure of the amount of water that is not available
for bacterial to grow. ( 0-10)
Potentially hazardous foods (PHF)- these are foods that have a water activity
level of 85 or higher.
How to control moisture to control/limit the growth of microorganism
o Freeze the food to lower the amount of moisture.
o Dehydrate food by adding sugar or salt. Bacteria stay alive and become
potentially hazardous when moisture is added.
Using Recipes Correctly
Recipe is an instruction in cooking that tells you exactly how to cook a certain dish,
which includes the list of ingredients, method of cooking, preparation, and manner of
serving the dish.

Standardizing and Quantifying of Recipe


Standardized recipe is one that specifies the accurate amount of
ingredients, equipment and preparation method needed before cooking. It has been
adapted to a food service facility because of its consistency and it is continuously
adapted to develop the highest quality product in the most efficient manner every
time the recipe is produced.
Standardized recipes play an important role in operating a successful
foodservice establishment. Use of standardized recipes makes easy other functions of
a food service operation, including planning. Purchasing, forecasting, recipe costing,
and pricing. Costing and pricing, for example, can easily be calculated because
ingredients and amounts are the same each time a recipe is used. It is important for
computerized food service operations because individually coded recipes trigger other
functions, including purchasing and forecasting. In general, standardized recipes
help to economize on food and labor costs. In preparing standardized recipe conform
a desired format which includes
1.Recipe Title- the name of the product
2. Recipe Category- It is the classification based on food standard of the food service
facility (i.e. fruit, vegetables, salads, main dishes, etc.
3. Serving Size-It is the amount of a single portion of the final product
4. Recipe Yield- It is the total number of servings available at the end of production
5. Equipment and Utensils needed- cooking and serving tools
6, Ingredients- are food items used in a recipe
7.Weight/Volume of each Ingredients- the required needed amount of each ingredient in
the recipe
8. Preparation Instruction- are directions for preparing the recipe
9. Cooking Temperature and Time-the appropriate temperature and amount of time
needed for the highest quality

72

Here aresome of the Benefits of Standardizing a Recipe


 Provide means to establish consistency in the quality of all products being made.
 An easy way to keep track of dietary needs of the customers
 Preparation , cooking, and serving procedure is done scientifically approximation
of weight and size is avoided.
 Selling price is predetermined ;gain per recipe is targeted at no cost.
 Doubts, conflicts and errors are eliminated, during the entire process of food
preparation.
 Less time is consumed in distinguishing out of cooked products because of
standard measurements of food.
 Standardization eliminates food wastage. It determines quality and quantity of
proposed products.
To prepare a standard recipe, one should consider the following:
 Select and evaluate a basic family-size recipe as to its adaptability to the
operation.
 Prepare the family-size recipe in its original amount.
 Convert measurements
 Check tools and equipment to be used to obtain accuracy
 Double the recipe and evaluate the results with the original recipe.
 Increase the quantity, gradually, following the same procedure. The doubled
recipe must preserve the original flavor, appearance, and
 Texture of the product.
Standardize recipe by completing the following steps:
 Prepare the recipe and test until the highest quality product is produced.
 Write out the recipe on a facility-specific standardized form using the required
components.
 Adjust the recipe to reflect the desired yield.
 Conduct taste testing with staff and customers to judge the appearance,
texture. Flavor, and overall acceptability of the product.
 Use an established standard of measurement such as measuring cups,
spoons, and glass that will determine the yield size of one recipe accurately.
Quantifying a recipe
 Determine the amount of yields of certain course based on the original weight
and measures of basic ingredients used in cooking.

73

Important Temperature in Food Preparation


Bacteria multiply at room temperature ranging from 7.22 to 60 C . They grow
faster between 15.5 to 48.8 C. This include normal room temperature. For this reason, food
must not be placed on a counter or table at longer time.

 Use an approved temperature- measuring device that measure temperatures


from 0 F from (-18 C) to 220 F (104 C)
 Locate the sensing portion of the measuring device.
 Calibrate the measuring device using the ice or boiling point method
according to procedure.
 Measure the internal temperature of the food by inserting the probe into the
center or thickest part of the item, at least 2 inches for a dial thermometer
and 1 inch for digital thermometers
 Always wait for the temperature reading to stabilize.
Follow these guidelines for keeping food at proper temperature:
 Use the proper storage method for purchased food.
 Keep hot food above 60 C until served.
 Keep cold food below 4.4 C until served
 After serving, refrigerate food immediately. Do not allow food to stand at room
temperature. Keep food covered to prevent contamination with bacteria.
 Do not keep stuffed uncooked meat, poultry, or fish in the refrigerator.
 Custard, cream, meringue, pies, and cakes with rich fillings should be
refrigerated as soon as they cool, Do not allow them to stand below 44.4 C
once they have cooked. Thaw food in the refrigerator.

Additional reminders for sake temperature in food preparation


1. Do not leave cooked foods at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
2. Refrigerate promptly all cooked and perishable foods preferably below 5 0 C
within four hours.
3. Keep cooked food piping hot( more than 60 0 C prior to serving
4. Do not store food too long even in the refrigerator.
5. Thaw food inside the refrigerator not at room temperature.
6. Check internal temperature during cooking to assure proper end-point time and
temperature have been met to at least 70 0 C/165 0 F.
7. Cook food thoroughly ,especially meat , poultry ,eggs, and sea foods
8. Bring food like soup and stews to boiling to make sure that they have reached 70
OC . For meat and poultry , make sure that juices are clear, not pink , ideally ,
use a thermometer.
9. Re-heat cooked food thoroughly to 165 0F /700 C within 2 hour.
