In the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the safety and longevity of non-sterile aqueous products is paramount. Antimicrobial preservatives are crucial in preventing microbial contamination, which can compromise product integrity and patient safety.
The recent analytica 2024 trade fair in Munich, Germany, emerged as a pinnacle event in the international laboratory sector. The highly anticipated tradeshow drew a crowd of over 34,000 industry professionals, featured 185 presentations, and showcased 1,066 exhibitors, including DKSH Technology.
By taking the extra steps to safeguard its customers’ products, DKSH managed to win over the trust of a leading confectionery and snacks manufacturer in Vietnam.
Microbial growth is a crucial factor in many industries such as medicine, food production, and environmental science. The environmental factors controlling this growth hold the key to establishing optimal conditions for culture and obtaining accurate research results. Oxygen, making up to 21 percent of the earth’s atmosphere, is an important factor in how microbes grow. Nevertheless, some organisms have distinct requirements for oxygen, ranging from being necessary to for toxic in higher concentrations.
Ensuring food safety is paramount in today’s globalized food industry, and Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000) stands out as a key player in this mission.
High Pressure Processing (HPP) uses elevated pressure to inactivate microorganisms and enzymes in foods. It causes microbial inactivation by altering the cell membrane permeability and inhibiting enzyme activity, protein denaturation, and ribosome destruction. HPP targets cell membranes and walls and can inactivate both vegetative cells and spores too.
Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is often touted as a healthy choice, but it is important to remember that food safety is just as important as nutrition. We need to be aware of the safety of the food we consume, and this includes the food we purchase from the supermarket.
When it comes to grocery shopping, food safety is a top priority for consumers as we all want to make sure that the food we bring home is safe to eat. Therefore, consumers need to be aware of the prevalence of food pathogens in foods when purchasing from supermarkets, understand the potential risks, and how to minimize them.
When it comes to food safety and quality, there are two critical measurements that all food manufacturers must be concerned with: moisture content and water activity.
