survive)

What is Refrigerator and freezing temperature

Refrigerator -0 to -7 degree celius




Freezing -<0 degree celius

Define Filtration

--passage fluid through a membrane designed to trap cell/viruses and separate for the fluid

Define Radiation

It a electron beams (high NGR).


-- good for killing


--good for thick meat


--spices


--dental/medical supplies

True or False.: All types of radiation are either ionizing or nonionizing

True

Define Gamma rays

It deeper than electron beam


--longer time


-- used for meats, spices, fruits and vegetable



Define ionizing radiation

--It wavelength is shorter than 1nm


--They have energy to eject electron from atoms, creating ions


--These ions disrupt H bonding, oxidize double covalent bonds, and create highly reactive


hydroxyl radical


--Radical denature other molecules (DNA)


--It the deepest, has a long time with less NRG

Give and example of ionizing radiation.

electron beam, gamma rays and some x-rays

What are the two types of radiation?

1. Particulate radiation-a high speed subatomic particles freed from their atom




2. Electromagnetic radiation- a energy without mass traveling in waves at the speed of light

Define Nonionizing radiation

It wavelenghts is greater than 1 nm. It also


excites electrons causing them to make new


covalent bond



Give some example of nonionizing radiation

UV light, visible light, infrared radiation, and


radio wave

True or False: UV light is the only practical antimicrobial

True

Define UV light

--Causes pyrimidine dimers in DNA


--Does note penetrate wall


--Suitable for disinfecting air, transparent fluids, and sufaces of object

True or False: UV light bent DNA out of shape

True

What is the doctor name that spray wounds

Lister

What did Lister spray on the wound

Phenol

Chemical methods of microbial control does what?

act to affect cell walls, cytoplasmic membrane, and proteins or DNA

Give some example of Chemical that control


microbial

--Phenolics


--Alcohols


--Halogents


--Oxidizing agent


--Surfactants


--Heavy metals


--Aldehydes


--Gaseous agent

Define Phenolics

It a compound derived from Phenol molecule that modified by addition of Halogens these are the Halogent (F,Cl, Br, I etc) F=fluorine, Cl=Chlorine, Br=Bromine and I= iodine


note I is a capital i.

What are the disadvantage of Phenols

--Bad odor and


side effects- skin irritant

The advantage of using Phenols

It denature proteins and disrupt cell membrane, remain active for a long period of time

What it the action of Alcohol?

It denature protein and disrupt cytoplasmic membrane
