Food Engineering Practice Test: Principles of Food Storage Stability — Flashcards

Food storage stability is affected by four factors: Temperature, Moisture, Atmosphere, Container. 

Here are some principles of food storage:
Temperature: Keep high-risk foods at 5°C or below, or above 60°C.
Raw and cooked foods: Store raw foods below cooked foods.
Containers: Store food in suitable, covered containers.
Use-by dates: Check and observe the use-by dates on food products.
