money when you need it. With multiple income sources, the impact of loss of one income
source is less on your overall portfolio. There are three main sources for household income,
earned income, investment income and government assistance.
1. Wages and salary- a steady paycheck from earned income by most common form of
household income. Your paycheck is earned through work, either as labor or selling your
work product. You may earn an hourly wage or salary from a specific employer which is
paid on a regular basis. You may be self-employed, in which you own your business
selling a product or service.
2. Investment income- make your money work for you with investment. You can earn
additional household income through dividend payouts, interest, and rental income.
Buying and renting a property gives you a consistent rent payment every month.
3. Government assistance- when you fall on the hard-economic time, you may qualify for
government assistance to bring in an additional income source. Unemployment benefits
allow you to draw money from the government while you look for another job.

good budget makes sure you do not spend more than your income, and allows you to
plan for upcoming expenses and to save for the future.
1. Income -is one major characteristic of the budget. It sets the spending
Income and saving limits, because it determines how much money Is/are have
available in your budget. If you are having a difficult time following a
budget, or staying within your budget, you may need to raise your income

a leaking roof. Six months of income in an emergency fund will help you
through most crises. Once you reach this amount, you do not need to continue
contributing to it, though you should replace the money once you use it.

expenses that cover your necessities. These are the basic things you need
to care for your family, such as food, shelter, transportation, insurance
and utilities. It is important to be able to distinguish your necessities from
your wants. Although you can reduce the amount you spend on your
necessities, they should not be cut from your budget completely.

Energy Management
Energy management is more difficult and complex as the energy that each person has to do various
activities depend on physical and mental health. Living in the time the demand for energy will be less
during beginning and contracting stage and more during the expanding stage.
Different efforts on the energy are needed to perform household tasks. They are mental effort, visual
effort, manual effort, tarsal effort and pedal effort.
Depending on the energy requirement tasks can be classified as below.
1. Light work- e.g. sewing, washing dishes, dusting furniture, sweeping etc.
2. Moderate work- e.g. kneading dough, ironing, hanging clothes
3. Heavy work- e.g. bed making, mopping floor, laundry, carrying children etc.

Food preservation
Learning competencies:
1. Drying- it is oldest method of food preservation. This method reduces water activity
which prevents bacterial growth. Drying reduces weight so foods can be carried
easily.
2. Freezing- It is keeping prepared food stuffs in cold storage. Potatoes can be stored in
dark rooms but potato preparations need to be frozen.
3. Smoking- it is the process that cooks, flavors and preserves food exposing it to the
smoke from burning wood. Smoke is antimicrobial and antioxidant and most often
meats and fish are smoked. Different methods of smoking are used like hot smoking,
cold smoking, smoke roasting and smoke baking. However, smoking as a
preservative enhances the risk of cancer.
4. Salting- Salting also known as curing removes moisture from foods like meat.
5. Sugar- It is used in syrup form to preserve fruits or in crystalized form. The material
to be preserved is cooked in sugar till crystallization takes place like candied peel
and ginger.
6. Canning- It is method of preserving food by keeping them in air-tight containers to
prevent spoilage. The common methods used in canning are:
a. Open-kettle method- The food is cooked directly in an open vessel as a means of
killing the bacteria and the packed sterilized glass jars. It is the sealed
completely.
b. Cold pack method- It is done by packing products in containers and covering
them with syrup or other liquid. The containers are then partially sealed,
sterilized then sealed completely.
c. Hot pack method- The raw material is precooked and packed immediately in a
water bath or pressure cooker.
7. Jellying- it is the process of preserving food by cooking in a material that solidifies to
form a gel. Fruits are generally preserved as jelly.
8. Pickling- It is the preservation of food in an acid or salt-based solution. Preservative
qualifies of vinegar and salt and combined to produce pickles.
Two types of Pickling
a.) Simple picking- It is done with vinegar, salt, sugar and spices.
b.) Fermented pickling- Uses only salt and water solution.
Basic ingredients in pickling
a.) Vinegar- it improves the quality and prolongs the freshness of fish. It gives
flavor and make fish crispy.
b.) Sugar- It adds sweetness to the fish. The amount of sugar depends upon the
kind of pickle to be produced.
c.) Spices- These include whole cloves, whole spices, celery seeds, mustard
seeds, cinnamon sticks, pepper corn and other ingredients that improve the
taste of fish product. Care should be given is using fresh spices.
9. Curing- It is one of the oldest forms of food preservation. It is method of preserving
food (usually meat and fish) to prevent spoilage.
10. Adding preservatives- These are materials used to prevent the growth of bacteria.
The common preservatives are salt, sugar, food coloring, spices, and salitre.
Some Natural Preservative
1. Salt- Salt has been used as a natural preservative since ancient times.
Primarily used for fish and meat, salt helps dehydrate microbes through the
process of osmosis and hats the growth of bacteria, keeping foods fresh for
longer periods, even for years.
2. Lemon juice- Lemon juice contains plenty of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic
acid, which is a powerful antioxidant that prevents spoilage and rotting. Similar
to salt, lemon juice draws out water content, balancing the PH factor and natural
acid in food.
3. Vinegar- It is made from the fermentation of sugar and water solutions and is an
effective natural preservative. In acetic acid in vinegar kills microbes and stalls food
spoilage. Picking is a common method of using vinegar as a preservative and also
adding flavor to foods.
4. Rosemary Extract- is made from the distillation of rosemary leaves and is a
powerful preservative. Its anti-microbial composition contains carnosic and
rosmaranic acid, antioxidants that act as shields to decay. vinegar
5. Sugar- Sugar naturally preserves food by drawing out water and killing
microorganisms and bacteria. Popular for preserving fruit, the high sugar
content binds water and prohibits the growth of bacteria, mold and
yeast. Sugar is often added to water in a flower vase to feed flowers and
preserve their lives.
1. Salt- includes the bulk of the meat curing mixture. Like other curing ingredients, self-imparts
flavor to the meat when used in sufficient amount. Generally, the concentration of salt in the
formulation is not sufficient to effect preservation: however, it exerts some anti-microbial
activity because at 2.0% level of salt, it prevents the growth of putrefying bacteria. The effect
is brought about by the moisture withdrawal of salt from the meat through the principle of
Osmosis. Consequently, the muscle fibers become tough. Three kinds of salt are available in
the local market, namely, the solar or coarse salt, the fine salt and the industrial or refined
salt. Of the three types of salt, refined salt has the least amount of impurities. This is
important because impurities may cause rancidity in meat products. The level of salt in the
formulation depends on the preference of the consumers. However, the recommended use
may range from 2.5 to 3.0% of the total meat volume.
2. Sugar- It is a secondary ingredient that adds the flavor and overcome the saltiness of the
cured product. if counteracts the hardening effect of Salt. It helps in the reduction of pH of
the cure and consequently delays the growth of the microorganism. Most Sugars also
contribute in the discoloration of cured meat when subjected to cooking temperature due to
its browning reaction. Thus, brown sugar is not recommended because if caramelizes even
under low temperature.
3. Nitrate and nitrite (food grade)- these ingredients inhibit the growth of Clostridium, the
causative organism of botulism. Nitrate and nitrite provide distinct flavor to the cured product. The
typical cured meat color which is pink is the reaction of nitrite's nitric oxide with the myoglobin
pigment. Thus, nitrate must be converted to nitrite to be effective producing the color reaction. The
reduction is a slow process which on the presence of bacteria in the meat and in the brine. Nitrate and
nitrite act as powerful antioxidants that prevent the development oxidative rancidity. However, these
ingredients have been implicated in the formulation of potentially harmful nitrosamines, hence, must
be use with caution. Nitrate serves chiefly as a source of nitrite. Both are found to be very effective in
controlling the growth of the deadly organism that causes botulism. These ingredients have no
substitute in producing a typical cured meat color and flavor. The use of nitrate must not exceed 200
ppm and 100 ppm for nitrite.
4. Phosphates-these ingredients have wide application in meat preservation Alkaline phosphate salts
elevate the pH of meat, thus improve the water holding capacity of meat. The acid reacting
phosphates, on the other hand, lower the pH of meat.
5. Extenders/Fillers/Binders- these are non-meat ingredients which a being used to increase the
bulk and level of protein especially in lower medium quality sausages. Some of these ingredients
improve the binding capacity of the meat mixture; increase the cooking yield and the slicing
characteristics of the finished products. However, these are consumers who dislike the conclusion of
these ingredients. In other countries, if no meat ingredients are used more than the allowed amount
which is 3.5 of the total weight, the finished product is labeled "sausage imitation.
6.Spices-these are used to season meat products. They may be added in meat as a natural spice or as
a spice extract. In either Case, the process must Know how to select, use and store spices and to be
acquainted with their flavor profiles.
7. Chopping board- this is where ingredients are being cut same with the fish and
meat.
