English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Food Safety
  • Collaboration with the FAO
DEF

[A] measure that reduces the microbial load...

OBS

This measure may be applied during processing steps such as: microfiltration, thermization, pasteurization or after the processing as intrinsic factors (e.g. ageing).

DEF

[Mesure] qui [réduit] la charge microbienne [...]

OBS

Cette mesure peut être appliquée au cours de la transformation sous forme d'étapes de transformation par exemple microfiltration thermisation ou pasteurisation, ou après la transformation sous forme de facteurs intrinsèques (le vieillissement, par exemple).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Food Preservation and Canning
  • Food Safety
CONT

HPP, also known as high hydrostatic pressure processing(HHPP) or ultra high-pressure processing(UHPP), uses water as a medium to transmit pressures of 100-1000 MPa [megapascals] to foods at ambient room or mild temperatures, resulting in a significant reduction in microbial load and thus an extended shelf-life...

Key term(s)

  • high hydro-static pressure
  • pascalisation

Record 3 2011-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

Space microbiology studies may be divided into three major categories, each of which will be discussed in light of the current stage of knowledge in that field. The first involves analysis of samples collected outside the Earth's biosphere. The second includes the many studies in which pure cultures of terrestrial microorganisms were evaluated either during or after exposure to components of the spaceflight environment. The third category contains studies of the autoflora of crew members and the microbial load of recoverable spacecraft components which were performed to evaluate changes in populations of microorganisms.

Record 4 2011-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
CONT

Load control is the process by which a load is monitored and released based on the result of a BI [biological indicator] ... Biological indicators are the only sterilization process monitoring devices that provide a direct measure of the lethality of the process.

CONT

Trust your BI [biological indicator] for load control : Only a BI can detect actual killing of microbial spores inside a sterilizer. This is why load control remains the most reliable level of testing...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement médico-chirurgical
CONT

[...] le contrôle de la charge en sortie du stérilisateur [fait] partie de la procédure de libération de la charge.

CONT

Contrôle de la charge. Des indicateurs chimiques sont utilisés dans ou sur chaque type de charge pour contrôler le processus de stérilisation. Ceci permet à l'utilisateur de constater si les paramètres importants du processus ont été aussi efficaces sur la charge.

Record 5 2006-11-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

When an irradiated food is not sold in prepackaged form, a sign displaying the radura symbol must be located next to the point of sale of the food. Health Canada has received several submissions to irradiate fresh and frozen ground beef, fresh and frozen poultry, and prepackaged fresh, frozen, prepared and dried shrimp and prawns to control pathogens, reduce microbial load and to extend durable shelf life.
