New microbiological process hall at Campden BRI

摘要

Anewly commissioned microbiology process hall at Campden BRI will help in the development of its well established microbiology evaluation and process validation services. Joy Gaze, Deputy Head of Campden BRI's large microbiology department comments: "This is a major development for us. In particular, it provides us with a larger area dedicated to the microbiological inoculation of foods and evaluation of the effect of food and drink manufacturing processes at reducing and eliminating such contaminants. As it mimics a real processing environment, it also allows us to do combination studies using pathogens and give recomrhendations for surrogate organisms sultable for further trials. Assessments can evaluate novel technologies, traditional treatments, product development, pilot equipment, troubleshooting and new packaging formats. We can back this up with in-house expertise on the heat resistance and subsequent survival of microorganisms in a very wide range of food and drink matrices."
