Question

Meat from chickens contaminated with salmonella bacteria can cause serious food poisoning. Capsaicin, the chemical that gives chili peppers their hot flavor, has antibacterial properties. Chickens do not have taste receptors for capsaicin and will readily eat feed laced with capsaicin. When chickens were fed such feed and then exposed to salmonella bacteria, relatively few of them became contaminated with salmonella.
In deciding whether the feed would be useful in raising salmonella-free chicken for retail sale, it would be most helpful to determine which of the following?
(A) Whether feeding capsaicin to chickens affects the taste of their meat
(B) Whether eating capsaicin reduces the risk of salmonella poisoning for humans
(C) Whether chicken is more prone to salmonella contamination than other kinds of meat
(D) Whether appropriate cooking of chicken contaminated with salmonella can always prevent food poisoning
(E) Whether capsaicin can be obtained only from chili peppers

Answer 1

Answer:

Capasaicin feeding creates Salmonella free chickens which is helpful to determine whether eating capasaicin reduces the risk of salmonella poisoning for humans.

Explanation:

Capasaicin is mainly found from peppers which is used to treat against certain disorders like pain,arthritis by stimulating the pain fibers by the release of somatostanin hormone.

The home for salmonella is mainly the intestine of human,chickens.

This bacteria causes diseases like stomach bowel syndrome, vimiting, nausea, dehydration,arthritis( eye irritation, painful urination, pain in joints) etc.

The main function of capasaicin is that it decreases luminal pH, and also causes morphological change in cecal mucosa of the intestine,induces increase resistance against salmonella.
