2. Chapter 1:Food : Where Does It
Come From?
• The substance which we eat everyday, containing
various edible substances or components, provide us
energy & materials that help our body remain healthy
is called Food.
• Food that is a component of a mixture in cooking is
called an Ingredient.
• Some food items are prepared with two
ingredients, while some others are made with many
ingredients.
• Pulses, water, salt, spices, etc. are the ingredients
used to prepare Dal.
3. Types Of Animals On The Basis of
their food habits
• Herbivores- The animals, that eat plant products as
food only are called Herbivores. Example : Rabbit,
Cow, Giraffe etc.
• Carnivores- Those animals that depend for food, eat
only other animals are called Carnivores. Example :
Tiger, Lion, Snake etc.
• Omnivores-Those animals that eat plants & animals
both as food are called Omnivores. Example : Dog,
Cat, Rat, etc.
7. Chapter 2 :Components Of Food
• Nutrients-Ingredients contain some components that
are needed by our body. These components are called
Nutrients.
There are two types of nutrients:-
a) Major Nutrients
b) Micro Nutrients
Major Nutrients
The major nutrients in our food are named as
• Carbohydrates
• Proteins
• Fats
8. How to prepare Iodine solution

a few drops of tincture iodine to a test tube half filled
with water.

dissolving two grams of copper sulphate in 100 ml of
water.
10. How to prepare caustic soda
solution
10 grams of Caustic Soda dissolved in 100ml of water
makes the required solution of Caustic Soda.
20. Test for starch
· 1
Gather a number of food samples. Try to use a wide variety:
fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals, dairy products and "junk" foods
such as candy or chips.
· 2
Put a sample of each food on a washable plate or tray.
· 3
Fill the eyedropper with iodine and drop a few drops onto each food
sample.
· 4
Observe what happens to the drops of iodine on the food. If the food
contains starch, the iodine drops will turn black. If the food does not
contain starch, the drops will stay the same colour (reddish-orange).
· 5
Discard the samples when you are done with them. Do not let anyone
eat them, as iodine is toxic.
21. Test for fat
• Add 2cm (cube) of ethanol to a few drops of the unknown
substance in a test tube
• Shake well
• Add 2cm (cube) of water to the test tube
• A Positive result will result in a cloudy white suspension
forming at the top of the solution.
• For solids
• Cut sample into a few pieces and place them in a test tube
• Add 2cm (cube) of ethanol and shake it thoroughly.
• Allow solid to settle and decant ethanol into another test tube
• Add 2 cm (cube) of water to the new test tube
• A Positive result will result in a cloudy white suspension
forming at the top of the solution.
22. Test for proteins
· 1
Select the food you'd like to test and remove just a small portion of it.
· 2
Place it in a bowl with about a tablespoon of distilled water and crush
with a fork (or spoon). You're trying to make an almost liquefied
version of the food.
· 3
Transfer the liquid into a test tube by using a eye dropper.
· 4
Squeeze 3 to 4 drops of Beret Reagent Solution, cover tube and
shake.
· 5
Wait for the colour to change. If it turns either pink or purple, the food
contains protein.

• Vermicompost is the product or process
of composting using various worms, usually red
wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms to create
heterogeneous mixture of decomposing vegetable or food
waste, bedding materials, and vertices. Vermicast, also
called worm castings, worm humus or worm manure, is the
end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by
an earthworm.[1] These castings have been shown to
contain reduced levels of contaminants and a higher
saturation of nutrients than do organic materials before
vermicomposting.
• Containing water-soluble nutrients, vermicompost is an
excellent, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil
conditioner. This process of producing vermicompost is
called vermicomposting.
