Abstract Three food types were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella by AOAC culture method and International Organization Standardization (ISO 6579:2002) method. Paired test portions each type simultaneously both methods. A total 21 laboratories representing federal government agencies private industry, in United States Europe, participated this interlaboratory study. Foods artificially contaminated with competing microflora if naturally sources not available. No statistical differences...
Abstract Study objective was to determine efficacy of a bacteriophage suspension against Listeria spp. when applied three common types materials used in food manufacturing facilities. Materials included two contact (stainless steel and polyurethane thermoplastic belting) one noncontact material (epoxy flooring). Coupons each were inoculated with cocktail containing L. monocytogenes innocua (4 5‐log 10 CFU/cm 2 ). Two phage concentrations control, 0, × 7 1 8 PFU/cm evaluated. Treated samples...
A mathematical model was developed to predict time inactivation (TTI) by high pressure processing of Listeria monocytogenes in a broth system (pH 6.3) as function (450 700 MPa), inoculum level (2 6 log CFU/ml), sodium chloride (1 or 2%), and lactate (0 2.5%) from 4°C initial temperature. Ten L. isolates various sources, including processed meats, were evaluated for resistance. The five most resistant strains used cocktail determine TTI validation. Complete all treatments demonstrated with an...
Abstract A collaborative study was conducted to compare the VIDAS Salmonella (SLM) with Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) method for detection of in foods current standard presented U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) culture AOAC's Official Methods Analysis. The SLM RV uses tetrathionate broth combination medium place selenite cystine selective enrichment, thereby eliminating hazardous waste issue laboratories. Twenty five laboratories participated...
The TECRA Unique Salmonella test uses the principle of immunoenrichment to allow rapid detection Salmonellae in food. A collaborative study was conducted compare with reference culture method given U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual. Three food types (milk powder, pepper, soy flour) were analyzed Australia 2 chocolate dried egg) United States. Forty-one collaborators participated study. For each 5 foods at 3 levels, a comparison showed no significant...
Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen with the ability to persist and form biofilm matrices in processing environments of food manufacturing facilities. Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses host specific lethality. Published research on application phage control sp. limited. In this study, we have assessed capacity bacteriophage P100 (Listex™) reduce incidence ready‐to‐eat (RTE) environment refrigerated (4°C) ambient (20°C) temperature facilities using two different...
Aerobic plate counts (APC) are used by the food industry to help determine sanitary state of equipment and bacterial load finished product. Conventional aerobic count methods for processed meats require approximately 72 h incubation before results available. Food processing plants with in‐house analytical laboratories that simple, reliable rapid. New test using Petrifilm TM (PF) Redigel (RG) have been developed determining APC. These faster easier than culturing in a standard agar medium. A...
