Surrogate microorganisms for heat process validation
Project 128878: New approaches to heat process validation: process design and process surrogates
Recent member–funded research has enabled us to further expand the range of suitable surrogates available for our services in validation of antimicrobial processes and to extend the range of food types and applications for which these may be used. In the research, comparative inactivation data was determined for the target organisms Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus and preservative– resistant fungi and for a matrix of candidate surrogate microorganisms. This data provides supporting evidence of the applicability of appropriate surrogates in different food processing scenarios.
