Download or read book Guidelines on Incubation Testing of Ambient Shelf Stable Heat Preserved Foods written by L. Bratt and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incubation testing involves incubating containers of heat preserved food under conditions which would stimulate the growth of micro-organisms, as one means of demonstrating the presence of viable micro-organisms in post-process heat preserved product. It is used by many manufacturers of heat preserved foods to investigate the commercial sterility of their products or identify reasons for failure. However it also has significant limitations. It does not, when used alone, provide adequate means of assuring that containers of product, manufactured during routine production, have been properly sterilised. It can also be expensive, in terms of tying up stock awaiting positive release. It should, therefore, be used with clear understanding and specific purpose. This document, written with the close involvement of the heat preserved foods sector, was developed to provide an authoritative reference guide for all personnel concerned with incubation testing of heat preserved foods intended for ambient storage and distribution. It gives guidance on when incubation testing can be useful, illustrates why the approach adopted should be informed by the purpose of the test, provides advice on the practical aspects of conducting such tests, and details their limitations. It also provides useful background information on sampling and a glossary of relevant terms.

Book excerpt: Fish Canning Handbook Fish Canning Handbook Edited by Les Bratt Canning continues to be an extremely important form of food preservation commercially, and canned fish represents a source of relatively inexpensive, nutritious and healthy food which is stable at ambient temperatures, has long shelf life and in consequence is eminently suitable for worldwide distribution. It is vitally important that all canning operations are undertaken in keeping with the rigorous application of good manufacturing practices if the food is to be safe at the point of consumption. This demands that all personnel involved in the management and operation of cannery operations have a competent understanding of the technologies involved, including the basic requirements for container integrity and safe heat sterilisation. This book provides a source of up to date and detailed technical information for all those involved in the production of canned fish, from students thinking of entering the industry, to regulatory authorities with responsibility for official inspection, trading companies and retail organisations who purchase canned fish, as well as the manufacturers themselves. An exhaustive range of topics is covered in 15 chapters, including: the current global market; processing, packaging and storage operations; food safety and quality assurance; international legal requirements and laboratory analysis.

Download or read book Principles of Food Sanitation written by Norman G. Marriott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large volume food processing and preparation operations have increased the need for improved sanitary practices from processing to consumption. This trend presents a challenge to every employee in the food processing and food prepara tion industry. Sanitation is an applied science for the attainment of hygienic conditions. Because of increased emphasis on food safety, sanitation is receiving increased attention from those in the food industry. Traditionally, inexperienced employees with few skills who have received little or no training have been delegated sanitation duties. Yet sanitation employees require intensive training. In the past, these employees, including sanitation program managers, have had only limited access to material on this subject. Technical information has been confined primarily to a limited number of training manuals provided by regulatory agen cies, industry and association manuals, and recommendations from equipment and cleaning compound firms. Most of this material lacks specific information related to the selection of appropriate cleaning methods, equipment, compounds, and sanitizers for maintaining hygienic conditions in food processing and prepara tion facilities. The purpose of this text is to provide sanitation information needed to ensure hygienic practices. Sanitation is a broad subject; thus, principles related to con tamination, cleaning compounds, sanitizers, and cleaning equipment, and specific directions for applying these principles to attain hygienic conditions in food processing and food preparation are discussed. The discussion starts with the importance of sanitation and also includes regulatory requirements and voluntary sanitation programs including additional and updated information on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP).

Download or read book Evaluation of Product Shelf life for Chilled Foods written by G. D. Betts and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shelf-life is an important attribute of chilled food products. An understanding of product shelf-life is essential in assuring the safety and quality of the product at the time of consumption. It also impinges on issues as diverse as storage, distribution and marketing. However, establishing shelf-life for a chilled product is not easy, and a wide range of factors must be taken into account. Written by a team of CCFRA and industry specialists with expertise in all aspects of chilled product shelf-life, this new edition was produced to provide food companies with a framework for establishing the shelf-life of their products. After an initial discussion of what shelf-life is and how its end-point can be determined, the core of the guide is organised around a series of shelf-life 'evaluation sequence' flowcharts - from pilot scale through preproduction run to full scale production. Supplementary information - such as tables of information on factors limiting microbial growth, microbiological tests that can be used in shelf-life trials, and factors that can affect shelf-life - provides a basis for further consideration of the practical aspects of shelf-life determination. Aimed particularly at manufacturers and retailers, the guide will be of use to all who need to understand shelf-life of chilled foods and the factors that affect it.
