Pyramid Power

PYRAMID POWER PROJECT

Abstract

Due to technology in the current world, food preservation has become an integrated process from farms to houses. It is not all about mass production of foods from the farms, but safe, innocuous, and healthy production and preservation. The current food production methodology, in a way, interferes with the nutrient's contents, vitamins, and the quality of the foods, which alters the tastes of the foods. The pyramid power combines a technique that combines both preservation and food packaging in one process. The pyramid concept lies in the positive advantage experienced on the foods and items placed on them. The process borrows the mystery of the dimensional ratio of great Egyptian pyramids, which affects the growth of microorganisms on the preserved foods in the containers and food packages. The shape of the pyramid plays a role in preserving any other chemical or physical treatment. The foods are dehydrated without spoiling, the bacterial culture's growth rate is negatively affected as the plant's growth rate is massively increased. The paper also presents the effectiveness and efficacy of preserving the pyramid power on different PH, bacterial counts, color, and odor. The pyramids are of various kinds built in other regions worldwide from the Egyptian concept. Its application is used on many occasions to preserve different foods. The idea has been borrowed by various students who have tried to better the idea and develop a more practical machine for proper food preservation and production.

Pyramid power

Food is an essential need for humans, and its production should be considered. However, its production should also be a significant concern irrespective of foods' cultural and religious beliefs. This should make the food production system integrated from the farm to the household level for consumption. The food should also be wholesome, safe for consumption, healthy, nutritious, and innocuous in the whole process. The shape of the pyramid is highly associated with the anxiety Egypt culture and knowledge advancements in the architectural construction of the pyramid. The significant work plays a role in creating a unique opportunity for the food manufacturers and consumers in the production, packaging, and preservation of them, hence food security. The nutritional contents of the foods are retained (Abdelsamie, Rahman & Mustafa, 2014). Unlike many of the current food preservation and packaging techniques, the power source of the pyramid power is inexhaustible and free. Its logistics are well known and can be employed anywhere, be it at the home, office, or any other place. The science behind it is pretty simple and does not require any technology. It was only filling the pyramids with packets of food which is an endless activity.

Commercially, the pyramids are also used to store the food packets and other liquid for others for pay. This research helps expand the pyramid power technology and reduce body effects from foods that go bad so quickly due to poor storage and infestation by microbes and cultures (Rebbitt, 2014). It maintains the tastes and nutritional contents of the preserved foods. Nowadays, other modes of food preservation such as salting and drying are not widely accepted because they impose more harm to the body, such as high blood pressure. The smoke foods are contaminated with carcinogens. This leads to eliminating the old methodology of food preservation and embracing the pyramid power technique in food production.

Method

Participants Comment by Microsoft Office User: The formatting for the method section has gotten corrupted. You will need to

The research was conducted with 16 participants. 13 female, two male, and one nonbinary individual, who was questioned on the basic knowledge and the experiences they had on the pyramid power. Their thoughts and views were measured and recorded for analysis purposes. Comment by Microsoft Office User: You need to include ages and all of the information in note 4

Materials

The materials used in the study's administration were questionnaires that had open and closed-ended questions on the background information on the pyramid power. Oral questions were also used for illiterate individuals who were not able to read and write well. Comment by Microsoft Office User: Note 1. The template has a lot of this and the formatting. You have to discuss the materials we are including with this project

Experience.

The experience was measured from how every individual articulated their issues and answered their questions. Comment by Microsoft Office User: Describe the actual measure. See Note 5

Pre-test Belief.

Pre-belief was measured with a 12-item scale (where 1 = "this is definitely false" to 5 = "this is definitely true"). Six items were related to information that was covered in the belief manipulation, all having to do with pyramids' preservative power (e.g., "A pyramid will dehydrate and mummify things, without decay or mold growing"; α = .84). Six additional items were related to information that was not covered, all having to do with the impact of pyramids on living things (e.g., "Standing under a pyramid for a minute helps the athlete perform better"; α = .94). Comment by Microsoft Office User: You need to include the source for this information..

Pyramid Research.

The pyramid power research presented was built from the knowledge of Egyptian architecture; it is in the form of the pyramids found in Egypt. The conditioning of the pyramid is significant in the practical food preservation and storage for long at no costs. Foods preserved in the pyramid maintain their tastes and nutritional contents (Schaller et al, 2010). Comment by Microsoft Office User: Describe the pyramid research we actually presented. See Note 7

Post-test Belief.

Post-belief was measured with the same 12-item scale but with the items in a new random order. For material covered in the manipulation, α = .94 Comment by Microsoft Office User: Just deleting the part asking for the alpha for materials not covered does not get it done. See Note 8. Where is the procedure?
