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
FDA
Food & Drug Administration - govnt
Jurisdiction over all food in interstate commerce
CVM
Center for Veterinary Medicine - govnt
Approval of feed additives used for animal health reasons
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
How much water is absorbed everyday?
7L by water already in the body and 1200ml from what we put into our body
Total = 8.2L
Saliva absorbed
1500ml
Gastric Secretions absorbed
2000ml
Bile absorb
500ml
Pancreatic Secretions absorb
