Course Objectives:
• To Develop a greater understanding of Food Microbiology
• Gain confidence with Environmental Monitoring processes and requirements and how to assess the microbial risks in food products
• Understand how the laboratory undertakes testing and interpreting the results
Part 1: What are microbes? How do they grow? What can we do to stop them? (2hr)
This session will introduce the delegates to the basics of microbiology, as well as formulation and processing steps one can take to stop them growing or remove them. It will also cover the basic differences between spoilage and pathogenic organisms, including examples.
Part 2: Assessing and addressing the risk from microorganisms in a food factory. (2hr)
The second session will introduce the audience to sources and vectors of microorganisms in a food manufacturing environment. It will discuss biofilm formation, control of the environment and the principles behind environmental monitoring. Microbiological specifications and legislation will be introduced from the perspective of monitoring the correct application of HACCP and pre-requisite programs.
Part 3: What happens to my sample once I’ve sent it to the lab? (2hr)
Our final session focusses on how a microbiological result is delivered once the sample is with the laboratory. Differences in testing approaches will be explained, together with the rationale behind testing for indicator groups such as ‘TVC’ or ‘Enterobacteriaceae’. Interpretation of results will be discussed, as will the difference between ‘presumptive’ and ‘confirmed’ results. Finally, we will take a look at some of the more rapid methods that are cutting down time to result.
Who should attend?
This course is designed to introduce food microbiology to technical team members who will be making decisions regarding microbiological aspects of food and factory safety and quality. The intention is to take people with little previous knowledge and give them a baseline level of knowledge which they can build upon to suit their particular facility. It could also be used to refresh the knowledge of more experienced personnel.
