Answer to Question 1

Evaporative losses refer to the water that evaporates from the meat drippings and from the meat itself. Drip losses refer to the materials left in the pan after cooking, such as fat, blood, and water.

Answer to Question 2

Fresh pineapple juice contains bromelin. Canned pineapple juice, however, would be a poor tenderizing agent because the canning process inactivates the proteolytic enzyme in order to preserve the pineapple.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
