  • _ is a traditional fpm involving use of any and all temperature above ambient ( > 10-15C)

  • Application in preservation is based on destructive effects of heat on microorganism

  • 2 common methods: pasteurization (reduce microbes to safe levels), sterilization (complete elimination)

High-temperature fpm

2
New cards

Enumerate 2 most common methods of high-temp food preservation

  • Pasteurization

  • Sterilization

3
New cards

Enumerate 7 factors affecting microbial heat resistance

wfsp nit

  • Water

  • Fats, carbohydrates, proteins

  • Salts

  • pH

  • Number & age of organism

  • Inhibitory compounds

  • Time & temperature

4
New cards

T/F: In general, increase in water activity leads to decreased heat resistance

TRUE

Bc presence of water allows it to conduct heat

5
New cards

T/F: Temperature and time are inversely correlated to killing effect of heat

FALSE

Temperature and time are directly correlated to killing effect of heat

6
New cards

Relative heat resistance of microorganisms is related to _, e.g., yeast & molds are sensitive to heat (grow best ambient temperature); psychrophiles vs. mesophiles vs. thermophiles

optimal growth temperatures

7
New cards

Explain how water affects microbial heat resistance

  • Presence of water allows faster protein denaturation

  • Dried vs. Moist cells; dried more resistant because water are absorptive of heat & thus moist feel its effects more

  • Increased heat resistance lhwm

    • Low humidity

    • Low water activity

    • Low moisture

8
New cards

Explain how fats, carbohydrates, & proteins affects microbial heat resistance

  • Fats generally increase heat resistance of some microorganisms, e.g., long-chain FAs > short-chain FAs

  • Carbohydrates increase heat resistance partly due to decrease in water activity

  • Proteins increase heat resistance bc they have protective effects on microorganisms

9
New cards

Explain how salts affects microbial heat resistance

  • Some salts (Ca2+) decrease water activity and thus have protective effect on microbes by increasing heat resistance

  • Some salts, however, phosphates increase water activity and thus tend to make some microbes heat-sensitive

10
New cards

Explain how pH affects microbial heat resistance

  • Microorganisms have higher heat resistance at their optimum pH (point of comparison is the same microbe)

  • Thus, less heat is applied to sterilize acidic food (bc they’re already at a non-optimal pH; lower heat tolerance)

11
New cards

Explain how number & age of organism affects microbial heat resistance

  • Number

    • High cell density > low cell density since they would produce also more heat-protective substances compared to low cell

  • Age

    • Old cells (stationary) vs. Actively growing cells (log)

      • Stress response activation

      • Higher Aw on actively growing cells; lower heat resistance

    • Lag phase vs. log phase cells

      • Stress response activation

      • Higher Aw on actively growing cells; lower heat resistance

    • Old bacterial spores vs. Young bacterial spores

      • More endospores formed in older culture > younger culture

      • More mature protective layers and relatively lower water content

12
New cards

Explain how inhibitory compounds affects microbial heat resistance

  • Decreased heat resistance because the cells are not in their optimal condition and are affected by stress, thus less effective at resisting heat

13
New cards

Explain how time & temperature affects microbial heat resistance

  • Time & temperature are both directly correlated to killing effect of heat

    • Higher temp > more effective killing by heat

    • Longer time > more effective killing by heat

  • Relative heat resistance of microorganisms are related to their optimal growth temperatures

    • e.g., Yeasts & molds are sensitive to heat bc they grow optimally at ambient temp

    • Psychrophiles (most sensitive) vs. Mesophiles (most resistance) vs. Thermophiles
