This set of Separation Processes Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Drying of Byproducts”.
1. Which type of degradation process is found in live microorganisms?
a) Destruction of cell membranes
b) Preoxidation of lipids
c) Gelatination of starch
d) Derivation of some amino acids
View Answer
Explanation: The type of degradation process in live microorganisms is destruction of cell membranes and the result is denaturation of proteins and death of cells.
2. Which type of degradation process is found in lipids?
a) Destruction of cell membranes
b) Preoxidation of lipids
c) Gelatination of starch
d) Derivation of some amino acids
View Answer
Explanation: The type of degradation process in lipids is peroxidation of lipids and its result is reaction with other components including proteins and vitamins.
3. Which type of degradation process is found in vitamins?
a) Destruction of cell membranes
b) Preoxidation of lipids
c) Gelatination of starch
d) Derivation of some amino acids
View Answer
Explanation: The type of degradation process in lipids is derivation of some amino acids and its result is partial inactivation.
4. Which type of degradation process is found in polymer carbohydrates?
a) Destruction of cell membranes
b) Preoxidation of lipids
c) Gelatination of starch
d) Derivation of some amino acids
View Answer
Explanation: The type of degradation process in polymer carbohydrates is Gelatination of starch and its result is improved digestibility and energy utilization.

Explanation: For plasmid DNA, No dryer is used and the product is a PBS solution.
9. What is the result of cross linking reaction between amino acids in proteins?
a) Loss of color and flavors
b) Change in functionality of proteins
c) Partial denaturation, loss of nutritive value
d) Death of cells
View Answer
Explanation: The result of cross linking reaction between amino acids in proteins is change in functionality of proteins.
10. What is the result of physical changes in simple sugars?
a) Loss of color and flavors
b) Change in functionality of proteins
c) Partial denaturation, loss of nutritive value
d) Death of cells
View Answer
Explanation: The result of physical changes in simple sugars as a result of caramelization is loss of flavor and color.
