B. Review

What was our lesson yesterday?

Yes, Jhon Efren? Our lesson yesterday is all about storing hot and cold
dessert.

Very Good!
Can anyone give an example how to store dessert?
Yes, Abigail?

Very good! We can store our dessert mam by putting it inside the
refrigerator or by freezing.

What do you think is the reason why we put dessert in a

refrigerator?
Yes Arianelyn, We put our dessert in refrigerator to avoid spoilage and
to avoid food contamination through bacteria.

Very Good!
Because refrigerator class is necessary in
preventing bacterial infections from foods.

Do you have additional answer?

Yes, Lysa? Also, dessert that contain an egg and dairy products has
a potential in health hazard when it is not stored
properly.

Excellent!

Before we proceed to our next lesson, we will have a

group activity and everyone should participate.

This activity is what we called “FIX ME I`M

BROKEN”

I have here an envelope with broken pictures, your task

is to fix the broken image and guest the hidden word
behind the picture. Yes ma’am!
I will group you into four.
The first team that will win will have additional points
to our quiz later.

Are you ready?

Did you enjoy our activity?

Yes ma’am!
Actually, your activity has a connection with our topic
for today which are” Package Prepared Food or Select
Packaging Materials.

Now, get your lecture and sit properly.

C. Presentation

Today, we will discuss what is food packaging and the

different kinds of packaging.

Does anyone know, what is the meaning of packaging?

Yes, KC?

Cover ma`am.

Very good! What else?

Yes, Riza?

Wrapper mam.

Very well said! Like what KC and Riza said there are a
lot of words that we may connect with the word
packaging.
So now let’s continue.

Please read, Lee Shu.

Thank you, Ria Mae.

Food Packaging is packaging of food which requires
protection, tampering
resistance, and special physical, chemical, or biological
needs. It also
shows in the product label any nutrition information on
the food being consumed.

Food packaging also is the enclosing of food for the

purpose of protection from environmental factors that
may cause contamination, damage, or decay in the
process of transport, storage or selling.

What are the main aims or goal of food packaging?

Yes Wilmar.

Very Good! That is why correct packaging is essential

to achieve both these objectives The main aims of packaging are to keep the food in

Packaging also shows the manufactured date and

expiration date of the product. Help the customers to identify the food and instruct
them how to use it correctly.
Now, lets proceed with the different types of packaging.

In many developing countries the most commonly used

food packaging materials
include:

Please read. Lee Shu.

Leaves
Banana leaves are often used for wrapping certain types
of food (e.g. suman).
Corn husk is used to wrap corn paste or unrefined block
sugar, and cooked foods of

Vegetable fibres
These include bamboo, banana, coconut, and cotton
fibres. These natural materials
are converted into yarn, string or cord which will form
the packaging material. These
materials are very flexible, have some resistance to
tearing, and are lightweight for

Glass
Ideal for long shelf life: thanks to its heat
resistance, glass packaging can be sterilised or
pasteurised. Both processes guarantee a long shelf life.
But using glass as a packaging is very expensive and
glass is heavier than many other packaging materials
and this may lead to higher transport cost.

Next, Nolly.

Plastics
The use of various plastics for containing and wrapping
food depends on
what is available. Plastics are extremely useful as they
can be made in either soft or
hard forms, as sheets or containers, and with different
thickness, light resistance,
and flexibility. The filling and sealing of plastic

One of the important uses is in the form of cans for

materials including; aluminum (Al), stannous or tin
