Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In this episode, we looked at food engineering. We explored how food-s capacity to spoil makes it a unique challenge from an engineering viewpoint. We saw how many branches of engineering come into play to process ingredients, ensure safety for consumers, and package food, as well as how thermodynamics is involved in the different stages of food production. Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios

As a food engineer I really liked how you've condensed down a very wide field. You've touched on the physics, chemistry, microbiology parts and noted the importance of food safety and taste. Other important subject are keeping prices low and making consistent products from raw materials whoes properties can vary a lot. Overall a really good job. I'll share it with colleagues.

One of the worst parts of food engineering is that many foods as liquids have complex fluid mechanics. Unlike say water, many are non-homogenous mixtures, colloids, and have non-newtonian shear natures. The perfect example is ketchup. -Shake, shake the ketchup bottle / First none'll come, and then a lot'll- So keeping things flowing at the right speeds can get complicated.

I used to be so worrying about all this stuff
I couldn't imagine not keeping my food in the fridge, etc
But then I moved to Vietnam.
And now I know that it's not necessary even to store meat in the fridge (for a short period -)
It's not even about milk, especially sterilized milk
Eggs? Outside of the fridge
Almost everything is outside

At 3: 32 you state everything needs to be -sterile-. That-s not an accurate statement. The food industry sanitizes, which means they reduce the amount of micro organisms to a significantly lower level. Sterilize means to remove all micro organisms, which isn-t practical or necessary for a safe food process.

You mentioned transportation in the intro, but didn't even give a nod to the tens of thousands of truck drivers who actually do that transportation with refrigerated trailers. My husband is one of those drivers! If you are also, thank you!

Cream is lighter than milk, and would thus go to the center of the centrifuge (or the top when settled, as is the traditional way, and why homegenization is used. I think you got that fact wrong.

Since I'm assuming Crash Course is made for a global audience, I think it would be helpful to specify which degree unit (C or F) the lecture uses.

I am wondering whether the book on the shelf besides the lamp is deforming due to the lamp.
(It was less misformed at the first episode)

Unbelievable, all that talk about food freezing and temperature, and not a word about influence of freezing speed on food quality!
