Which is hotter moist heat or dry heat?
Conductivity. Moisture conducts the heat better than a dry system.
Why does dry heat require higher temperatures for longer time periods to sterilize than does moist heat?
Water has a higher heat capacity than air. In other words, air is a very poor conductor of heat while water is a very efficient conductor of heat.
What is moist heat cooking and how is it used in cooking?
Moist-heat cooking is cooking the food in a moist environment. Ways to do this is by boiling, steaming, and braising. This helps to tenderize the food more than through dry heat cooking.
Is autoclave example of dry heat sterlization?
no.it is an example of moist heat sterilisation
Is moist air heavier or lighter than dry air?
Moist air is heavier than dry air, because of the water.
What is difference between dry heat and moist heat?
Dry heat is the absolute substance temperature without accounting for the modulating effects of water vapor in the substance. Moist heat is the relative substance temperature when accounting for the modulating effects of water vapor.
What is the meaning of moist colour?
Moist is a state between dry and wet. For instance, a cake that is slightly moist is nicer to eat than a cake that is very dry.
Why Moist heat sterilization is more effective than Dry heat sterilization?
Mechanism of killing by dry heatDry heat kills the organisms by destructive oxidation of essential cell constituentsKilling of the most resistant spores by dry heat requires a temperature of about 160 °C for 60 minutesDry heat is employed for glassware; syringes, metal instruments and paper wrapped goods, which are not spoiled by high temperatures.It is also used for anhydrous fats, oils and powders that are impermeable to moisture.Mechanism of killing by moist heatMoist heat kills the organisms by coagulating and denaturing their enzymes and structural protein.Sterilization by moist heat of the most resistant spores generally requires 121 °C for 15-30 minutes.Moist heat is used for the sterilization of culture media, and all other materials through which steam can penetrateMoist heat is more effective than dry heatSterilization can be done at lower temperatures in a given time at a shorter duration at the same temperature.upon heating wet proteins release free -sh groups and form smaller peptide chains which in turn form new complexes different from the orignal protein molecules
