01Food composition, functional properties and microbial growth
Water, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids contribute differently to food structure, stability and nutritional composition. A formulation change can alter texture, flavor, processing and storage behavior together. Water activity concerns water available for reactions and microbial growth rather than simply the total percentage of water. Two foods with similar moisture can therefore have different stability.

Food safety concerns biological, chemical and physical hazards, including relevant allergen cross-contact. Identify the actual ingredient, process, environment, consumer group and route by which harm could occur. Raw-to-ready-to-eat contamination differs from inadequate control of a hazard already present in the food. Cleaning removes relevant soil; disinfection or sanitizing uses an appropriate validated method to reduce microorganisms under its actual instructions.

Hong Kong’s Food and Environmental Hygiene Department describes a Hygiene Manager and Hygiene Supervisor scheme for relevant food premises. The required appointment depends on the actual premises type and risk category, and recognized training and appointment arrangements must be checked through the current official scheme. A question bank does not appoint its reader to either role or turn general food knowledge into a current recognized course certificate. Hygiene Supervisor and Hygiene Manager should not be treated as identical labels with one invented nationwide examination format.
