Function of Government in the food industry
|
1. Ensure Public Safety
2. Plays large role in maintaining food safety 3. Ensure a clean, wholesome, unadulterated food supply |
|
Adulterate
|
contains substances that may render the food injurious to health or make unfit for human food
|
|

|
USDA Food Regualtions
|
Represent the working arm of the food laws
Applied and enforced through various agencies HACCP |
|
HACCP
|
Hazardous Analysis & Critical Control Points
|
|
FSIS
|
Food Safety & Inspection Service - govnt
Provides inspection of product and facilities Become involved as animal arrive at the processing facility Part of some aspects of live production Public health agency in the USDA concerned with making sure supply is safe, wholesome, correctly labeled, and packaged |
|
APHIS
|
Animal & Plant Health - govnt Inspection Service
Deals with live production Responsible for quarantines & animal disease prevention Beginning to work in prevention of human diseases (salmonella) |
|
ARS
|
Agricultural Research Service - govnt
Generate research data used to make regulatory policy decisions for FSIS and APHIS |
|
CDC
|
Centers for Disease Control
Epidemiology of foodborne diseases Non-regulatory |
|
EPA
|
Environmental Protection Agency - Govnt
deals with water & pesticide issues (manure, ammonia, nitrogen) |
|
NMFS
|
National Marine Fisheries Service - Govnt
Seafood Safety and Quality Voluntary Program (HACCP) |
|
Local Health Department
|
Local
Inspection of food service in grocery stores, in-state processors, and service establishments (restaurants) |
|
State Ag Dept
|
Local
Oversees issues related to meat and Poultry , mostly tied to live production issues |
|
WHO
ICMSF |
World Health Organization
International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods -- International World experts on food safety and spoilage. Publish books and other info on these subjects. Much of their info are basis for many international standards |
|
Digestion
|
Breakup of food material both physically (chewing, grinding) and chemically (enzymes, acids, solvents)
|
|
Absorption
|
Uptake of digestion material & transport of nutrients across intestinal wall
|
|
Digestive Tract
|
Primary role of Gastrointestinal tract (GI)
Digestion and Absorption occur in the alimentary tract & involve all components that make up the GI tract Primary site where foodborne pathogens & toxins come into contact with the host |
|
Alimentary Canal
|
Mixes food with saliva & provides amylase
Mucous surface Passageway to the stomach |
|
Lumen
|
Separated frmo the interiro of the body by lining = mucosa
|
|
Stomach
|
reservoir until lower portions of the GI tract are ready to receive and process the food
Sphinctors at both ends produces HCL and pepsin that kill acid sensitive bacteria (pH=2) |
|
How foodborne pathogens survive in stomach
|
1. Buffering action of food (when stomach gets full the pH goes up)
2. Microenvironment protection (hide inside large pieces of meat) 3. Bacterial tolerance mechanisms ATR (acid tolerance response) |
|
Small Intestine
|
Major site for digestion of food and absorption of resulting products of digestion (90%)
|
|
3 sections of SI
|
1. Duodenum
2. Jejunum 3. Ileum |
|
Duodenum
|
Upper primary site of digestion
receive enzyme secretions from the pancreas enzymes bile pH 4-5 |
|
Jejunum
|
absorption of digestion products
|
|
Ileum
|
Connects SI with the LI
Little absorption |
|
Large Intestine
|
AKA Colon
Collecting chamber for solid waste - water absorption 24 hr turnover Large anaerobic bacterial population Fermentation of indigestible dietary components (fiber) Produce short chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate) Methane CH4 |
|
Villus Structure in Small Intestine
|
1. Millions of villi line the surface of the SI
2. Striated border microvilli - enzymes and receptors 3. Columnar epitheial cell 4. Lacteal - lymph system that takes in lg pieces of fat 5. Goblet cell - secretes musin |
|
Microvilli
|
"Brush Border"
Contain many of the enzymes and receptors involved in nutrient absorption |
|
Microvilli enzymes
|
1. peptidases
2. amino acids 3. Disaccharidases 4. sugar transporters |
|
Peptidases
|
Hydrolyze peptides into amino acids
|
|
Amino Acids
|
Transporters & binding proteins
|
|
Disaccharidases
|
Hydrolyze disaccharidases into sugars
|
|
Sugar Transporters
|
Uptake of sugars
|
|
Diarrhea - definition
|
Change in the frequency, fluidity, or volume of the feces
specifically an increase in fecal water content |
|
Diarrhea - cause
|
Some distrubance of the mechanisms for secretion and absorption of water in the GI tract that results in an increased loss of water with the feces
fluid balance is an important function of the GI tract |
|
