Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Irradiation does not use heat so it is sometimes referred to as cold pasteurization. Bacteria, mold, fungi, and insects are destroyed as the food is exposed to radiant energy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Zinc deficiency may be prevented by making breads with yeast; the yeast breaks the bond be-tween the zinc and phytic acid which prevents it from being absorbed. Eating refined grains would result in even lower zinc intake; fortification of grains does not include adding zinc; and soaking grains before making bread does not release the zinc from the phytic acid.
