Mieke Uyttendaele ๊ต์ ์ ์: microbiological guidelines
์๋ฌธ: The big five in the life of a food microbiologist - Mieke Uyttendaele
Food should be tasty, healthy, sustainable and preferably not too expensive. But food should also be safe and with sufficient guarantees on maintaining good quality aspects until the end-of-shelf life. Throughout the years, various pathogens have been the focus of our food safety research. Some are established pathogens. Salmonella is a good example of this. There was a decreasing trend for salmonellosis in Europe of the last 10 years, however, the number of reported cases at present stabilizes and Salmonella remains a major food borne pathogen of concern. Salmonella is a versatile organism, with many serogroups and genotypes, each with a different reservoir and potential to survive and adapt to adverse conditions. Thus our interventions to mitigate Salmonella contamination need to shift along, addressing other type of foods or rethinking our control strategies as this pathogen evolves. Also the introduction of molecular techniques in food diagnostics, increase in global trade, climate change or the shift to a more sustainable diet with less animal products but more fruits and vegetables may impact on the pathogens that (re)emerge and get on the food safety radar. The seminar discussed the research strategies of the big five pathogens in the life of a food microbiologist encompassing four bacteria i.e. Salmonella sp., Campylobacter jejuni/coli, human pathogenic E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes and one food borne virus i.e. human Norovirus. Research efforts were focused the selection of appropriate sampling and testing methodologies to provide reliable results, and development of appropriate tools such as predictive modeling and challenge testing to identify critical time/temperature combinations or decontamination strategies during processing, storage and food preparation to safeguard the food supply. Main challenge is still addressing consumer behaviour and how to deal with this into food safety risk assessment.
Research in food safety as conducted at the Dept of Food Technology, Safety & Health at Ghent University is elaborated to support evidence-based decision making. One tangible outcome is the book on Microbiological Guidelines elaborated by the research group of Food Microbiology and Food Preservation (Ed. Uyttendaele Mieke). Microbiological analysis of foods is a key factor in ensuring food safety. Measurement brings knowledge and microbiological guidelines help in judging the acceptability of food or food production processes. The new edition of this handbook provides microbiological guidelines and current applicable EU legal criteria (status 1.1.2018) for a wide range of food categories (dairy, meat, seafoods, plant-based foods, bakery products, composite foods, shelf-stable food, water) and subcategories therein, based upon the type of food processing and intrinsic characteristics of the foods. The book on Microbiological guidelines can be consulted to provide quick answers on the expected microbiological contamination of foodstuff. It can help in interpretation of test results in assessing good (hygienic) practices in the production of food, determining the shelf life and ensuring food safety.
