Gerunds in compound nouns

A Gerund is often used as the first component of compound nouns. The main stress is on the first component, that is, on the gerund.

Usually, a Gerund as the first component of a compound noun indicates for what something is used. For example, drinking water is water for drinking; a frying pan is a pan for frying; a parking lot is a place / a lot for parking cars; a writing desk is a desk for writing.

Герундий часто употребляется как первый компонент сложных существительных. Главное ударение на первом компоненте, т.е. на герундии.

Обычно, герундий как первый компонент сложного существительного указывает, для чего используется что-то. Например, drinking water (питьевая вода) – вода для питья; frying pan – сковорода для жарки; parking lot – участок для парковки автомобилей; writing desk (письменный стол) – стол для письма.

Types of Food Processing Equipment

While the wide range of food processing equipment available can be classified and categorized in several different ways – e.g., end product form, mode of operation, application, etc. – this text follows industry standards and groups them by their respective functions.

The food processing production cycle can be broken into several stages, characterized by a specific function and during which individual unit operations are

36

performed. For example, within the preparation stage, the primary function is to prepare the food material for further processing, and some of the unit operations performed include washing and separating. Other secondary functions provide support to the primary functions of the production cycle, such as material handling and system control operations which convey food materials between process stations or maintain the required processing conditions and standards, respectively.

Some of the most common functions by which food processing equipment are grouped include:

Preparation

Mechanical processing

Heat processing

Preservation

Packaging

After-reading tasks

Answer the questions

1.What ways can food processing equipment be classified and categorized in?

2.What is the primary function during the preparation stage?

3.How can we group food processing equipment according to the most common function?

Preparation Equipment

As indicated previously, within the food processing production cycle, initial preparatory operations focus on preparing the raw food material for subsequent processes – typically mechanical or chemical processing – by separating the desirable material from the low quality, substandard, or undesirable material. In doing so, manufacturers are better able to ensure the production

39

of uniform and high-quality food and food products, as well as remove foreign matter and contaminants which may degrade or damage the food mate-

rial or equipment.

Some of the unit operations which manufacturers employ during the raw material preparation stage include cleaning, sorting, grading, or peeling (or skinning). Table 1 below describes some of the preparatory unit operations and outlines the equipment used to execute them.
