Pasteurization

than any other chain store. If I choose to shop at Walgreen's, I pay for the convenience of a short drive. Personally, I think Walgreen's prices are ridiculous. I would rather drive farther than pay for convenience. All these stores They all use pasteurization, which is the process of heating dairy products to a certain temperature until the bad bacteria is killed. Unfortunately, it also kills the good bacteria along with the bad, which makes it much less healthy. Other than that, the milk is…

ill and can contaminate foods of animal origin, such as meats and dairy products. When Listeria bacteria get into a food processing factory, they can live there for years, sometimes contaminating food products. Listeria is killed by cooking and pasteurization. However, in some ready-to-eat meats contamination may occur after factory cooking but before packaging. Other types of food that have been found to contain Listeria species are raw milk, raw vegetables, fish, poultry, and both fresh and…

When Lactococcus is added to the pasteurization milk, lactic acid will curdle the milk. Then it will be separated to form curds, which are used to produce cheese. According to Todar (2008), the basic steps for making cheese are acidification, coagulation, dehydration, and salting. The acidic…

Microbiological Control 1. Evaluation of Potentially Hazardous Foods Food is potentially hazardous food if it consists in whole or in part of milk or milk products, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, or other ingredients capable of supporting rapid and progressive growth of infectious or toxigenic micro-organisms. Specific recommendations for ensuring the safety of potentially hazardous food are stated along with sanitary practices recommended for the storage, preparation, display, and…

(Straus 75). His discoveries further led to the study of modern microbiology. Louis Pasteur demonstrated how to stop the souring of milk by destroying the microorganisms. This was done by heating the liquid and then cooling it. This is now known as pasteurization. Vaccinations developed in 1881 when Pasteur went to a farm and gave cows a weakened dose of anthrax and gave the other cows a full dose of the disease. When he later returned the 6 cows he had injected with the vaccination were still…

Prions, endospores, and mycobacterium all are extremely resistant to antimicrobial treatment. Prions are extremely small, even smaller than viruses. Heat or formaldehyde aren’t very effective against prions. Endospores are extremely resistant to harsh conditions as well. They can survive heat up to 100 degrees C, drying, radiation, and majority of chemicals. Mycobacterium are extremely resistant due to their waxy cell wall. This cell wall blocks many things from entering the bacteria, making it…

A scientist is a person who engagingly studies or has deep knowledge in the fields of science. The main fields of science include; Physics, biology, chemistry, geology, etc. which branch into other deeper subjects. Scientists contributed greatly in society that made us live the life we live today. There are many scientists who are not recognized enough for their scientific discoveries and influences. One scientist that I definitely believe that should be on the Science Hall of Fame is Louis…

In the summer of 2008 Canadian healthcare professionals noticed an irregularly high incidence of listeriosis cases (“Listeriosis outbreak timeline”, 2009), the disease associated with infection by Listeria. This concern was disregarded until people in a nursing home fell ill and sandwich meat from the same place tested positive for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes (“Listeriosis outbreak timeline”, 2009). On August 12, 2008, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency launched an investigation of…

We are bombarded with commercials from the dairy industry telling us that milk is one of the best sources of nutrition and is essential for good health. One popular advertising slogan with various pictures: a baby, a muscular man and even Uncle Sam. We have been told cow’s milk is a “perfect food” that helps build healthy bodies and strong bones. Commercials and nutritional guidelines have long us that we should all consume dairy products daily, beginning at birth, as the advertisement in Fig. 1…
