In the past, the time and temperature needed to inactivate harmful microbes in canned foods was not known. Frequently, there were cases of deterioration (spoilage) and serious intoxications, such as botulism, caused by the toxin from Clostridium botulinum (an anaerobic, rod-shaped spore forming bacterium). After much scientific research, standard time and temperature processes were developed to help food processors know how to safely process foods. During retort processing (commercial canning), the packaged food is heated a to high temperature, ensuring that pathogenic bacteria will not grow while also decreasing the number of spoilage organism present in the food. But this increase in temperature can contribute to decreases in food quality and nutrient retention. Thus, we should consider additional methods for controlling pathogenic bacterial (as well as other spoilage organism's) growth. What are some of the alternative methods to traditional retort heat treatment (canning) that can be used to prevent dangerous pathogenic contamination in canned food such as canned fruit puree, palm heart, green beans, mushrooms, beets, canned tuna, meat products (ham and sausages)?

Story Line: Perdue Foods of Salisbury, MD, recalled approximately 720 pounds of raw, fresh chicken products because they may have experienced a processing deviation in temperature during production, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced. The company discovered the problem when a plant employee checking whole bird temperatures noticed variations in the product. Upon further investigation, it was found that a plant worker turned the wrong water valve, using warm water instead of cold water in the system's chiller. The company notified FSIS of the incident. Product found in the firm's warehouse was destroyed. However, nine cases inadvertently shipped into commerce. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. Here is a link to the story(opens in new window). FSMA was signed into law by President Obama on January 4th, 2011 was made to ensure US Food supply is safe by shifting the focus of Federal regulators from responding to contamination to preventing it.

Oils and fats bring "a lot to the table" so to speak in terms of food systems. They are great at carrying flavors, as well as at providing satisfyingly soft, smooth, or crunchy texture. There's a problem, though. Fats can break down and form aromas that smell stale, card-boardy, or downright rancid. This breakdown is caused by the reaction of fats with oxygen. Fats and oils often naturally contain Answer, (one word) like Vitamin E that protect them from oxidation. When these are not naturally present, they are typically added in very small quantities. These ingredients would include BHT, BHA, or TBHQ. In our bodies, these types of molecules (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, flavonoids) may help prevent disease by preventing or inhibiting a variety of oxidation reactions

Cultured buttermilk is probably the easiest and most foolproof fermented milk product to make. All you need is active cultured buttermilk for the starter, and fresh milk for it to act on (store bought is fine). The formation of buttermilk is based on the fermentation by the starter bacteria which turns milk sugar (lactose) into Answer (hint: two words). As this product is formed, the pH of the milk drops and it develops the distinctively tart taste associated with yogurt, kefir, and other fermented milk products. Milk proteins, most notably casein, are no longer as soluble under acid conditions and they precipitate out, causing what we recognize as clabbering. For this reason, buttermilk is thicker or more viscous that regular milk. Despite the name (and the buttery flavor), buttermilk is generally lower in fat than regular milk, because the fat has been removed to make (you guessed it) butter.
