Sumner (Archived in Digital Commons, University of Nebraska-Lincoln) Intro to Microorganisms inSuppliesSymptoms of Foodborne IllnessesSuppliesMicrobiology: Bacteria, Yeasts and Mold Growth Factors of Microorganisms Foods contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms usually do not squint bad, taste bad, or smell bad.  It is untellable to determine whether a supplies is contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms without microbiological testing. To stave potential problems in foods, it is very important to tenancy or eliminate these microorganisms in supplies products. Pathogenic microorganisms can be transmitted to humans by a number of routes. Diseases which result from pathogenic microorganisms are of two types: infection and intoxication. Foodborne infection is caused by the ingestion of supplies containing live yes-man which grow and establish themselves in the human intestinal tract. Foodborne intoxication is caused by ingesting supplies containing toxins worked by yes-man which resulted from the bacterial growth in the supplies item. The live microorganism does not have to be consumed. For a foodborne illness (poisoning) to occur, the pursuit conditions must be present: The microorganism or its toxin must be present in food. The supplies must be suitable for the microorganism to grow. The temperature must be suitable for the microorganism to grow.Unbearabletime must be given for the microorganism  to grow (and to produce a toxin). The supplies must be eaten. Symptoms of Foodborne Illness The most worldwide symptom associated with foodborne illnesses is diarrhea. Each pathogenic microorganism has its set of foible symptoms. The severity of the foodborne illness depends on the pathogenic microorganism or toxin ingested, the value of supplies consumed (dose), and the health status of the individual. For individuals who have immunocompromised health conditions, or for the aged, children, or pregnant women, any foodborne illness may be life-threatening.Increasinglywell-nigh pathogenic microorganisms and disease symptoms associated with them.SuppliesMicrobiology and Foodborne Illness (Taken from EC 92-2307 by Julie A. Albrecht and Susan S. Sumner archived/posted in Digital Commons, University of Nebraska-Lincoln) Bacteria, yeasts, and mold are microorganisms associated with foods. The individual microorganism cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. The size of these microorganisms are measured in microns (1 micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter or U25,40A of an inch).Increasinglythan a thousand microorganisms in a cluster are barely visible to the eye. Microorganisms may be classified into three groups equal to their activity: Beneficial microorganisms may be used in the process of making new foods. Cheese is made with microorganisms which convert the milk sugar to an acid. Spoilage microorganisms rationalization supplies to spoil and are not harmful to humans. A spoilage microorganism is responsible for souring milk. Pathogenic microorganisms are disease-causing microorganisms. The living microorganism or a toxin (microbial waste product) must be consumed to rationalization symptoms associated with specific pathogenic microorganisms. Microorganisms can be found virtually everywhere.Yes-manand molds are found in the soil and water. Yeasts are found mainly in the soil. Plant and unprepossessing supplies products support the growth of microorganisms.Yes-manhave been detected on plants and animals; molds are usually found on fruits and vegetables; yeasts are often found on fruits. Many yes-man are part of the normal microflora of the intestinal tracts of man and animals. Microorganisms may be transferred from soil and water to plants and animals. Raw supplies stuffs contain microorganisms which may be transferred to processed foods by wasteful handling.Supplieshandlers with poor hygiene practices may transfer microorganisms to food. If suitable conditions exist, some of these microorganisms may grow to create a public health concern. Specific bacterial species (pathogenic microorganisms) are the main causes of foodborne illnesses in humans.  Growth Factors of Microorganisms All microorganisms require moisture, a supplies source, unbearable time, and suitable temperatures to grow and multiply. Moisture Microorganisms are well-balanced of well-nigh 80% water which is an essential requirement for microorganisms to grow. Moisture requirements vary for each species of microorganism. In unstipulated yes-man need increasingly water than yeasts. Yeasts require increasingly water than molds to grow. If water is not misogynist for microorganisms in a supplies product, the microorganisms may remain but will not grow and multiply.Unrepealablecomponents in foods will make water unavailable for microorganisms (and thus can inhibit growth). Salt & Sugar Salt and sugar widow to foods "tie" up water and lower the water activity. When unbearable salt or sugar is widow to a food, the water worriedness will be lowered to a level that will prevent microorganisms from growing. In general, bacterial growth is inhibited by the wing of 5-15% salt. Yeasts and molds can tolerate up to 15% salt. To inhibit mold growth, 65-70% sugar must be added. The wing of up to 50% sugar will inhibit yes-man and yeast growth. Some microorganisms are tolerant of unrepealable conditions. Halophilic (salt-liking) microorganisms require salt to be present for the organism to grow. Osmiophilic ( sugar-liking) microorganisms, usually yeasts, grow weightier at upper concentrations of sugar. Xerophilic (dry-liking) microorganisms can grow with limited moisture.SuppliesMicroorganisms need a source of nutrients to grow and multiply. Time Microorganisms need time to grow and multiply. Under favorable conditions (enough moisture and supplies misogynist with the desired temperature), lamina semester (reproductive growth) may occur every 20 to 30 minutes. The time for a microbial lamina to double is tabbed the generation time. Temperature Microorganisms grow weightier within unrepealable temperature ranges.Yes-manare classified into three groups, depending on the temperature at which the yes-man grows best. Psychrophilic (cold-liking) yes-man (responsible for supplies spoilage in refrigerators, grow rapidly at room temp.) - Growth range 32-77°F - Optimum temperature 68-77°F Mesophilic (middle-liking) yes-man - Growth range 68-110°F - Optimum temperature 68-113°F Thermophilic (heat-liking) yes-man - Growth range 113-158°F - Optimum temperature 122-131°F Other factors well-expressed growth: Varying requirements for Oxygen (aerobic vs. anaerobic bacteria, e.g.) pH - venom or alkalinity  (most microorganisms prefer a pH near neutral [pH = 7.0]) Darkness vs. Light (Ultraviolet light is lethal to microorganisms) The yes-man which rationalization foodborne illness in humans grow weightier at soul temperature (98.6°F - mesophilic bacteria).
