Hurdle Technology
Types of hurdle
Physical
Aseptic packaging
-the procedure of packaging a sterile product in a sterile environment
-allow shelf life stable in ambient condition
-Ensure the drinks or liquid meals have no hazardous microorganisms or contaminants.
Bactofugation
-Centrifugal process to remove spore of microbes from milk
-Eliminated highly heat resistance spore like Bacilli & Clostridia
-Used in making cheese
Freezing
-To prevent the growth of microorganisms by reducing the temperature
-long-term preservation
-Temperature: -18 degree Celsius
Chemical
Salt
Eg. Sodium Chloride
-reduces the water activity of foods
-Antimicrobial activity
Interfering with a microbe's enzyme function and diminishing the molecular makeup of its DNA
Sodium Citrate
-Added to processed & cured meats
-To preserve shelf life and provide taste and a pink hue
-Able to inhibit the growth of the dangerous environmental bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.
Lactic Acid
-Type of organic acid
-Used in pickled vegetables, sourdough bread, kimchi
-Because of the lower pH, it acts as a permeabilizer of the gram-negative bacterial outer membrane
Microbiological
Canning
-putting food in jars or cans and correctly heating it to a target temperature
-kill all the bacteria and seal the can to prevent any new bacteria from getting in
Vacuum Packaging
-prevent the development of germs or mould to preserve food
-Your food is oxygen-deprived when vacuum sealed
-Without oxygen, mould and bacteria cannot grow.
Antibiotic
-approved for use as biological product preservatives
-eradicating the germs or by making it harder for the bacteria to proliferate and spread.
-
-Eg, Tetracycline
What is Hurdle Technology?
Combination of preservation, process and techniques which involve the utilization of two or more obstacles or barrier against spoilage bacteria to create safe, shelf stable and nutritious food
