Whole poultry tends to have a lower microbial count than cut-up poultry. Most of the organisms on such products are at the surface, so surface counts/cm2 are generally more valid than counts on surface and deep tissues. May120 showed how the surface counts of chickens build up through successive stages of processing. In a study of whole chickens from six commercial processing plants, the initial mean total surface count was log10 3.30/cm2. After the chickens were cut up, the mean total count increased to log10 3.81 and further increased to log10 4.08 after packaging. The conveyor over which these birds…

FIT follows the State University of New York (SUNY) policy on credits and hours, which is a variant of the traditional “Carnegie Unit.” In lecture courses, one semester credit hour equals one hour of classroom instruction and two hours of outside study for each class session. A typical threecredit lecture course at FIT meets three hours a week for 15 weeks for a total of 45 hours, and six hours a week of outside study. In lab/studio courses, one semester credit hour equals two hours of classroom instruction (and one hour of outside study). A typical three-credit lab/studio course at…
The Greeks were heavily influenced by Egyptian customs which soon found their way into Greek homes too. Both Greeks and Chinese painted their faces white with different ingredients. Greek women used berries as blush while Chinese focused more on their nails, painting them in line with their social classes. The Romans were not far behind and they probably used some of the very first pimple cures with their butter barley mixes. Mud baths (a precursor to today’s facial masks) and hair dying were also quite common with the Romans. In the Middle Ages, English women dyed their hair and whitened…
In Europe they refer to organic growers as biological growers, which is probably a more appropriate and descriptive term. While all aspects of soil analysis and management are critical, the twin engines of soil biology and organic matter inputs coupled with the appropriate style and frequency of cultivation drive the system of a biological-ecological approach to soil management. Although it makes up only 3–5% of the soil, organic matter has a pronounced influence on all soil properties. When added to the soil, it yields: • A sufficient nutrient supply • An open, permeable soil surface that allows air/gas exchange to…
The genera of bacteria often found on fresh and spoiled meats and poultry are listed in Table 4–1. Not all of the genera indicated for a given product are found at all times, of course. Those that are more often found during spoilage are indicated under the various products. In Table 4–2 are listed the genera of yeasts and molds most often identified from meats and related products. When spoiled meat products are examined, only a few of the many genera of bacteria, molds, or yeasts are found, and in almost all cases, one or more genera are found to…
Physical properties of soil are divided into texture and structure. Soil texture is a physical measurement of the percentage of sand, silt, and clay particles in a soil (as determined by grain size, with sandy soils being the largest and clay the smallest). It is a given, and cannot be altered (see more in Unit 2.1, Soil Physical Properties). Sandy soils usually feature low nutrient- and water-holding capacity and an associated lower organic matter content. On the plus side, sandy soils drain well, warm quickly, and allow early cultivation and planting in the spring. Clay soils are the opposite: they…
Soil erosion is the natural process of detachment and movement of surface soil by water or wind, and has occurred simultaneously with soil formation on the Earth for millennia. In natural ecosystems the formation of soil from decomposing plant and animal matter occurs in balance with the rate of erosion, maintaining overall soil health and fertility and preventing a net loss of topsoil.

Soil tillage at both the garden and field scale should take place only within the soil moisture range of 50–75% of field capacity (see Appendix 1, Estimating Soil Moisture by Feel, and Unit 1.5). Whether using a spade and fork, or tractor-drawn tillage tools, tillage executed at soil moisture levels higher than 75% of field capacity can increase soil compaction, degrade soil structure, increase surface crusting, and increase erosion potential. Soil tillage undertaken when soil moisture is below 50% of field capacity may pulverize soil aggregates, resulting in poor soil structure and increasing the risk of soil erosion due to…
FIT is a member of the College Consortium for International Study, which includes approximately 100 colleges across the United States that offer study abroad programs. Under the auspices of the consortium and FIT, fifth-, sixth-, or seventh-semester students admitted to the Bachelor of Science degree programs can study at institutions across the globe. Advertising and Marketing Communications BS degree students as well as AAS degree Fine Arts students may spend a fall or spring semester at the Scuola Lorenzo De’Medici in Florence, Italy.

The Egyptians used a surprisingly large number of makeup and skin care products. Rouge colored their lips and cheeks, while dyes and paints hued their body and facial skin. There is enough evidence to show that the Egyptians even colored their hair. Perhaps best known of all is their extravagant use of kohl to accentuate the eyes. This dark colored powder was made with many different naturally occurring substances that gave different hues and different textures. Some of these are crushed antimony, lead, copper, burnt almonds, ash, malachite, copper ore, ochre and many others. Both the upper and lower lids…
