Boiling water kills bacteria, it doesn’t remove them—you still drink them, they’re just no longer alive.

What matters is that the harmful microorganisms are destroyed, making the water safer to drink. Dead bacteria can’t infect you, and boiling also helps eliminate many parasites and viruses.

Clean water isn’t always about what you can see—it’s about what’s been made harmless. Stay informed, stay safe. 💧

FOOD ANALYSIS

Chemical analysis: This is the chemical make-up of a food, it measures components such as pH, salt, sugar and specific nutrients. It detects the presence of toxins, additives, heavy metals and pesticides residues.

Microbial analysis: This tests the microbial stability of the food, ensures food safety by adhering to microbial test limits. Common tests include: Total Plate Count (TPC) / Aerobic Plate Count (APC),Coliform Test, Yeast and Mold Count etc

Physical analysis: This has to do with physical attributes such as color, texture, viscosity, particle size and density.

Sensory analysis: This uses the organoleptic senses to taste food, evaluates parameters such as taste, colour, sweetness, aroma and overall acceptability.

🥚 Did You Know? 🥚
It’s always better and safer to cook your eggs before eating!

Raw or undercooked eggs may contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella, which can cause foodborne illness.

benefits of eating properly cooked egg

Better Protein: Cooking makes egg protein easier for your body to absorb and use.

Nutrient Boost: Raw egg whites contain avidin, which blocks biotin (a B-vitamin). Cooking deactivates it—so your body absorbs more nutrients.

So, whether you like them boiled, scrambled, fried, or in an omelet make sure your eggs are well cooked before enjoying.

Bottom line: Cook it, don’t risk it! Stay safe, stay nourished

calorific content of food:
We give the calorific content of food because it tells us how much energy the food provides to the body when eaten. It helps us understand how much energy we’ll get from a given portion.

In food packaging its necessary for informing the consumer of the product.

Food technologists and nutritionists calculate calorific values to compare foods, improve formulations, and guide public health.

Carbohydrates → 4 kcal per gram

Protein → 4 kcal per gram

Fat → 9 kcal per gram

(Optional): Alcohol → 7 kcal per gram)

Formula:
Calories (kcal)=(Carbohydrate grams×4)+(Protein grams×4)+(Fat grams×9)

Example:
If a food contains:
10 g Protein
20 g Carbohydrate
5 g Fat
Then:
(10×4)+(20×4)+(5×9)=40+80+45=165kcal
