• Group Develops C-5 Grease (.pdf)
  exposed to moisture and rain, air, bacterial decontaminants, and other corrosion and. wear encouraging phenomena, which at times causes significant problems for operators, and challenges for systems. maintainers," Ms. Gschwender said. While AMOCO was unavailable to manufacture the grease, Nye...
• A New Vaccine Supply Strategy
  vaccines, and three veterinary products. Another interesting alternative vaccine platform is AVANT Immunotherapeutics’ (Needham, Mass.) attenuated bacterial scaffolds. AVANT begins with weakened salmonella, typhoid, or cholera bugs and attaches antigens from the target pathogen to the surface...
• Nonthermal Food Processing Is Heating Up
  light treatment inactivates bacterial pathogens on the surface of test media. (D618-1). Like the PEF process, radio-frequency electric field (RFEF) technology subjects liquid foods to high electric fields. But this procedure--developed at ERRC--uses a continuous alternating current power supply, which...
• Biocompatibility of Plastics (.pdf)
  . Biocompatibility is not the same as sterility. Sterility is the treatment of a material to remove or. destroy all living organisms (including bacterial or fungal spores), and does not concern itself with. the actual biocompatibility of the material. If a material is used that is not biocompatible there may...
• Gas Detection Challenge
  - increasing the risk of asphyxiation. equipment. He made arrangements to. happened next. Investigations concluded. These gases that occur due to bacterial. acquire more harnesses and respirators. that the maintenance engineer entered the. activity were noted along with toxic gases. before turning his...
• Selecting Modulating Valves and Clean Steam Traps for Sterilization in Place (SIP) Systems
  , presenting opportunities for bacterial growth inside of. the valve which can contaminate the process fluid itself. 4. Clean-in-Place/Sterilize-in-Place (CIP/SIP) Design. Several design aspects must be included for SIP applicability including corrosion resistant. materials, temperature compatibility...
• DETECTION OF FECAL/INGESTA CONTAMINANTS ON POULTRY
  poultry processing in order to minimize the pathogenic contamination in a poultry plant, FSIS inspectors. risks of bacterial pathogens in meat and poultry products. use the established guidelines to identify fecal residues on. (USDA, 1994). More recently, FSIS implemented Pathogen. hard surfaces...
• The Effects of High Hydrostatic Pressure on Meats (.pdf)
  pressure processing is no longer regarded as a novel technology. It has. proven very successful in other segments of the food industry. Seafood processors. are increasingly using it to inactivate bacterial pathogens and viruses in shellfish. and improve processing operations. Processors...
