Lesson 1 - Microbial Contamination Flashcards
What are the three types of contamination
Bacteria
Fungi
Protozna
What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Pro bacteria lack a nucleous and cell structure
Euo is the opposite
What are the 5 microbial control methods
Hygienic design
Effective cleaning
Production sanitation
Process conditions
Monitoring
What are the two important parameters when dealing with contamination
The type of microb
Amount of contamination
The 2 ways of samplings
Sample Tap
Swabbing
What are the 4 criteria in culturing
Nutrients
Time
Temperature
Oxygen
What are the three types of rapid detection techniques
- Microcolomy
- ATP bioluminescence
- PCR
What are the downside of rapid testing
Some require culturing
Can’t determine between living and dead cells
What are the three types of process water control
UV
Chlorine
Ozone
