Academic literature on the topic 'Fried product quality'

Research conducted at university level reveals that students usually have difficulties in performing cognitive and discursive operations involved in the production of academic and specialized texts, which aggravate when these activities are developed in non-native language. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze a tourism brochure written by students in an English-Medium Instruction (EMI) higher education context from a combined genre-register approach. Particularly, it aims to examine the students' main strengths and weaknesses when writing this particular text genre. A compilation of 37 tourism brochures written in English by Spanish university students is analyzed qualitatively according to an analytic rating scale inspired by Friedl and Auer (2007). Results show that students perform better in terms of register, whereas significant deficiencies regarding genre and discourse are found. This reveals that explicit teaching of discourse and genre issues in university classrooms is necessary in order to help students produce higher-quality specialized texts.

I grew up in a solid middle-class family, largely of German descent, in a city of modest size in central Nebraska. Like a lot of such families, our diet was based on meat and potatoes. It was an unwritten but religiously observed law in our home that two meals each day would include both meat and potatoes. The meat was turkey twice a year, ham on occasion, chicken or pork from time to time, but mostly beef. The potatoes were usually boiled or boiled potatoes subsequently sliced and fried. My brother and I also drank a lot of whole milk, at least a quart a day each and frequently more (skim milk was available, but no one gave much thought to “reduced fat” or “low fat” milk back in those days). On farms, a lot of people just drank what the cows had on tap. Between the meat, potatoes, and the whole milk, we got a lot of protein in our diet, which is good; we also got a lot of saturated fat in our diet and that is not so good. Adequate protein in our diet is essential for good health. Proteins in our diet break down to provide essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The amino acids that are essential in our diet are those that our bodies cannot make or cannot make in adequate quantity for optimal health. For dietary proteins, two things matter: amount and quality. The amount of protein is a simple quantitative matter; it is measured in grams per day. The amount you need depends on several factors: your gender, age, size, level of exercise and other physical activity, and whether you are pregnant or lactating, for example. The quality of protein is not so easy to evaluate. Getting the essential amino acids in your diet is more important than getting the others. The highest quality proteins are those that contain an abundance of all the essential amino acids. Meats and dairy products are among the best sources of high-quality proteins.
