Concept explainers
To explain:
The concepts of TDT and TDP along with one example of how these could be modified to produce food for humans that is microbial free retaining its taste.
Concept introduction:
Susceptibility of microbes to heat differs in different microbes. This factor contributes to the physical control of microbial growth using heat. Sterilization needs adequate temperature and exposure length for effective microbial control.
To determine:
The minimum TDTs for vegetative cells and endospores.
Concept introduction:
Bacterial endospores are considered the most resistant microbial forms due to their hard impenetrable covering. Endospores are resistant and dormant cells that can remain viable for many years. They are 18 times harder to kill as compared to their vegetative cells. Their destruction is the main goal of sterilization as their destruction would lead to all less resistant forms of microbes.

- Discuss at least three (03) anaerobic culturing techniques along with advantages and disadvantagesarrow_forwardThere are various parameters to assess microbial growth. What are some microbial growth curve characteristics? Can you explain how microbiologists measure specifically bacteria growth?arrow_forwardWhy do we study how to control microbial growth? Give concrete examples wherein our understanding of microbial growth is applied.arrow_forward
- Find the ways to increase the yield and decrease the cost for production of commercially importantmetaboliteby using microbial system. Explain by giving an example.arrow_forwardMake a graph of microbial growth from each of the data available in the table separately Im needed max in 30-45 minutes thank u...arrow_forwardIdentify physical and chemical methods used for foodpreservation. How does each method limit growth ofmicroorganisms?arrow_forward
- If a biotechnologist wishes to obtain a primary metabolite, they will harvest the organism/media during log phase. If a biotechnologist wishes to obtain a secondary metabolite, they will harvest the organism/media during stationary phase. Can you explain this distinction regarding the metabolism of the cell at these two different batch culture growth phases?arrow_forwardExamine the following graph. Note that the growth rate increases slowly until the optimum is reached, andthen it declines steeply over higher temperatures. In other words, organisms tolerate a wider range oftemperatures below their optimal temperature than they do above the optimum. Explain this observation please explain the observationarrow_forwardIt may seem contradictory that lyophilization can be used to preservefoods yet also be used to keep cultures of microbes viable. Explainhow these applications can be reconciled.arrow_forward
- Spores and toxin-producing microorganism produce toxins need higher Aw than minimum Aw for microbial growth. How could food industry benefit from this fact?arrow_forwardIn phytochemical determination of natural products, one of the tests involve determination of indoles. Would the presence of plant secondary metabolites interfere with the tests for proteins giving false-positive results?arrow_forwardExplain the reasons why the Poon Choi is the high risk food for the elderly? It would be easily spoiled if you found the condensed water on the inner side of the cover lid of the container, and also if you put it at room temperature for more than two hours. Explain in term of the factors of microbes growth. Explain it in detailed.arrow_forward
