Lemon's Proud Memory

榴莲飘香的季节

光阴似箭，日月如梭，众人所期待的一年一度榴莲飘香的季节终于像乡村姑娘般徐徐而临。前些日子，果园叔叔们忙得不可开交，连续不断地将榴莲运载到城市的各个角落。水果店的商人们也迎着它们的来临，将一箩箩的榴莲摆放到店里。

顿时，城市不知不觉地热闹起来。冷冷清清的街道开始门庭若市，盼望着吃榴莲的人们人山人海，拥挤得水泄不通。大街小巷都挤满了黑压压的人头，看来榴莲的吸引力可真不小。一些水果摊的叔叔将榴莲堆积在地上，榴莲香味顿时浓厚地扑鼻而来。

Blanching

Blanching is a heat treatment process generally applied to fruits and vegetables prior to freesing, drying or canning.

Blanching is primarily carried out to inactivate enzymes before freezing or dehydration.

In plant tissues, enzymes such as lipoxygenase and polyphenol oxidase cause loss of nutrition, flavor and texture.

Peroxidase and catalase are two of the most heat resistant and widely distribute enzymes. Although they are not the cause of deterioration during storage, their activity is used to evaluate the effectiveness of blanching.

In commercial blanching, the blanching time in boiling water at 100C varies from 1.5 to 4 min.

The two most common method used commercial methods are passing food through atmosphere of saturated steam or bath of hot water.

The cooling stage may result greater loss of product or nutrients than blanching stage.

The Fifth Taste > Umami

The four primary taste sensations are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The fifth taste is umami, meaning delicious along with meaty and savory suggestion.

The same taste is also known as xiānwèi from Chinese, literally "Fresh Flavor" in Chinese cooking. In as much as it describes the flavor common to savory products such as meat, cheese, and mushrooms.

Love Is A Dairy Product...

Just how long is the shelf life on LOVE ?

Maybe there is no true love.

Or maybe all love is true, but only for the duration, the duration of its shelf life.

Love has no preservatives.

Love is yogurt, or cottage cheese, or milk, love is Gouda.

Love is a dairy product.

It spoils, and quickly, and when it spoils it has a nasty stench, a dreadful flavor and an ugly color.

Oh, you can find love, and keep it in your fridge, but it will not last forever.

---Excerpt from the screenplay
Love is a Dairy Product
A film from Erin Michelle Kruger

Not Just An Intro

Hello Everyone^^ I am happy you come and visit my blog "I Am Not A Diary". Yea..This is not a diary. I won't use it as a diary to note down my daily life, I will just share some special things or events in my life and also cute and interesting things I met. Of course, I will also express and share my feelings here, sadness, stressness, sweetness as well as happiness. =)

This is a blog which full of aroma, taste, texture and appearance; this is not a food blog or gourmet blog, but since I am a foodtechnology student, I will like to share my experiences and my study life with you^^ Oh well, let me explain why I will choose this programme. Yea..My programme in full name is "Food Science and Technology". In fact, I am a girl who interest in designing, drawing, and sketching. I had plan to take some design course before. However, my mum did not support me to choose those programme. =(

Since I have to fill up all 8 empty blanks in the apply form, so lastly, I found that I am quite interest in food also. Hence, among the eight choices, mainly is about food :p

Hmm...Between Food Study and Food Science and Technology, I stil prefer Foodtech, since I am a science stream student and I study for science hardly for the past few years.
