HISTORY

FIT Fruit and Vegetable Wash

Research conducted by food science faculty at the University of Idaho and Washington State University indicate that a commercially available fruit and vegetable wash, when used in a food-manufacturing setting, can dramatically decrease the number of disease-causing organisms in produce-processing washwater. That could reduce by manyfold the potential for cross-contamination within the water by such "gram-negative" bacteria as Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7. The product, sold commercially as FIT Fruit and Vegetable Wash, not only proved much more effective than the commonly used chlorine dioxide but is made from ingredients like citric acid and distilled grapefruit oil that are generally regarded as safe. A new technology that kills dangerous pathogens on food at home and in restaurants, grocery stores,

    One possible source of contamination may be the produce that is grown and distributed locally at a farmer’s market. A test sample of some of the produce revealed evidence of bacterial contamination. The bacteria sample was tested in a microbiology lab and showed the results that follow. The laboratory also performed a Gram stain of the isolated bacteria and ran a number of biochemical tests to aid identification. The biochemical tests were assayed using the Analytical Profile Index (API) 20E system for identification of Enterobacteriaceae and other gram-negative…

    The FSMA legislation targets the issue of food safety for the public and how to better prevent foodborne illnesses, which are considered infectious topic of public health since these diseases are mostly caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites that may be foodborne. These diseases place significant burden on the US population, as about 48 million Americans become sick annually while 128000 people are hospitalized and 3000 die from foodborne illnesses, affecting many communities nationally and not any specific group of people (CDC 2016). The immune-compromised individuals have higher risk of getting these infections, such as children, elders, immune-compromised people and so on. The foodborne organisms cause illnesses that may lead to long-term…

    Salmonella Contamination

    • 838 Words
    • 4 Pages

    People in the food industry and the public will benefit from this research. Salmonella contamination in food is a constant global problem. This research has shown that bacteriophages or a phage cocktail can decrease or eliminate SE inoculated with 104 CFU SE in vitro and in foods. The results from this study suggest that bacteriophage treatment can be an alternative strategy to prevent SE infection in food safety. The development of using bacteriophages to decrease Salmonella is another way the food industry can use to test if foods are contaminated with Salmonella. This would result in less Salmonella outbreaks and would give us an alternative way, using bacteriophages, to deal with future outbreaks. Also, antibiotic resistance is one of the most important dangers to human health, threatening to make many treatments to common infections infective. This exacerbates the public health issue of Salmonella contamination because antibiotic resistance can lead to more complicated illnesses and increase the cost of health care. This research could potentially alter our global ecosystem. Salmonella outbreaks are usually due to contamination and unsanitary conditions. When mass Salmonella outbreaks occur and humans contract the disease, they expel the bacteria in their feces. In other places around the world with poor sanitation, these bacteria can find their way into the water system and infect other people, animals, and start a new cycle of transmission. This is a larger problem…

    The Scientific Method

    I have used the scientific method in my case study to prove my hypothesis, if a plant is grown in light it will grow faster than a plant grown in the dark. To conduct my experiment, you will need lima beans, potting soil, and styrofoam cups. First, put three inches of potting soil into each styrofoam cup. Then plant the lima bean seed about one inch below the surface of the soil. Next add three tablespoons of water to each cup. Put one cup in a window seal or where there will be bright light. Place the other cup in a closet or in a box sealed off from light. Keep a daily diary on how each plant is growing. Each day should be recorded by height, number of leaves, and by the color of the leaves each day. This experiment will probably involve a week to ten days of plant growth.…
