Food Deterioration And
Its Control
 Food deterioration is a process that
renders a product unacceptable or
undesirable for consumption and is the
result of the biochemical activity of
microbial papulations that predominate
in the product .
• ReasonForDeterioration
• Biological
• Chemical
• Physical
• Biological
– Theunwantedmicrobesdecompose thefood andmakethemunfit
forconsumptionofbacteria
• Chemical
– Enzymaticor anyother chemicalreactions cancausechsngesin
food structureandmakeitunfitfor intake
• Physical
Exposure of food to some external factor like air moisture
or temperature changes can cause food spoilage.
• Microbial Activity
• Microorganisms natuurallyoccurintheenvirnmentand
theycancausefoodtobecomerotten
• Therearethreetypesoforganisms are
• Bacteria
• Yeast
• Moulds
Bacteria.A microscopicoganismsthatcausefood

acidenvirnment
• Yeast.They are single-celled plant
organisms that can produce Slime on fruit
juices and vinegar.
• Moulds.They are different from other
micro-organisms as it can be seen naked
eye
• All food undergo deterioration after harvest to
some degree
• Role of food sciences is to minimize the
negative changes to the extent
Deterioration includes changes in
• Organoleptic quality
• Nutritional value
• Food safety
• Aesthetic appeal
• Color
• Texture
• Flavor
• Etc.
• Factor causing detrioration
• Cold
• Light
• Other radiation
• Heat
• Oxygen Moisture
• Dryness
• Enzyme
• Texture
• Micro-organisms
• Food safety
• Asthetic appeal
•
Useful Life (In days) at 21oC
• Shelf Life
• Time required for a food product to reach
unacceptable quality
• Depends on
• food item
• processing method
• packaging
• storage conditions
Food Dating
• Types of Code Dates
• Date of manufacture (pack date)
• Date of display (display date)
• Last date to sell (sell by date)
• Last date of minimum quality (best used by
date)
• No longer acceptable date (expiration date)
• Envirnmental condition affecting microbial
growth
• Temperature
• psychrophilic lt16oC
• mesophilic 16-38oC
• thermophilic gt38oC
• Oxygen
• Aerobic (some bacteria, all molds)
• Anaerobic (some bacteria, yeast)
• Facultative (both with and without oxygen)
• Obligative (either with or without oxygen)
• Food borne disease
• Food infection
• Microorganism must be present in the food
and
will set up infection in humans
• Food intoxication
• Food contains a chemical which is toxic to
humans
Food intoxication
• Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium
botulinum
produce toxins
• Molds produce mycotoxins (ex aflatoxin)
• Toxins often are not destroyed by heat
(cooking)
Food infection
• Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella sp., and
several others including Escherichia coli (strain
0157H7)
Insect parasites
• Damage 5-10 of the US grain crop
• Insects can cause minor damage, but wound
tissue
allowing for further microbial damage
• Control
• Pesticides
• Inert atmospheres
• Cold storage
Insects Parasites
• Damage 5-10 of the US grain crop
• Insects can cause minor damage, but wound
tissue
allowing for further microbial damage
• Control
• Pesticides
• Inert atmospheres
• Cold storage
• Acceptable Levels of Fly Eggs Larvae in
Tomato
Products
Enzymatic Changes
Enzymes help to speed up reactions
Some enzymes found naturally in food and
cause food spoilage
This process does not switch itself and
continues it to sit in a fruit bowl for a while
it will begin to brown and soft
Food Enzymes
• All foods from living tissues contain enzymes
• Most of these enzymes willsurvive harvest
and/or
slaughter
• At the time of harvest or slaughter, enzymes
which control digestion/respiration proceed
uncontrolled and cause tissue damage
Controlling Enzymes
• Inactivation by heat
• Chemicals
• Radiation
• Some post-harvest enzymatic reactions are
desirable (i.e. ripening of tomatoes,
aging/tenderizing of beef)
Heat Cold
• Normal harvest temperatures range from 10-
38oC
• The higher the temperature, the faster the
biochemical reactions
• Rate of chemical reactions double with each 10oC
rise in temperature
• Sub-freezing temperatures damage tissues
Examples of Cold Damage
• Discoloration of tissues when frozen
• Changes in texture when frozen
• Milk emulsion will be broken
• Milk protein will denature and curdle
• Chill injury can occur near freezing, esp. in
tropical fruit tissues (ex banana)
• Envirnmental Factors
Food can be contaminated as a result of
envirnmental factors
In contact with dirt and dust
Insect spray being used in kitchen when
food is uncovered .
Food being exposed in air.
Damaged packaging
A food handler using a gloved hand for both
serving and handling money.
Oxygen
• Chemical oxidation reactions can
• destroy vitamins (esp. A C)
• alter food colors
• cause off-flavors
• promote growth of molds
Principles for food preservation
• Heat
• most bacteria are killed at 82-93oC, but spores
are not
• 121oC wet heat for 15 minutes is required to
ensure sterility
• high acid foods require less heat
• in milk, only disease-causing organisms are
killed to reduce the severity of heat required
• Drying
• microorganisms contain approx. 80 moisture
• dehydrating food also dehydrates the
microorganisms
• Acidification
• acids may be in foods naturally, produced by
fermentation, or added artificially
• as pH decreases, heat required for sterilization
is reduced
Time Required to Destroy C. botulinum Spores
Sugar salt
Addition of either to a food item increases the
affinity of the food for water, thereby removing
water from the microorganism through osmosis
Smoke
• Contains formaldehyde and other
preservatives
• Heat will help reduce microbial populations
and
somewhat dries the food
•
Atmosphere
• Exclude air (O2) for control of aerobes
• Provide air (O2) for control of anaerobes
• Add CO2
• Add N2
Chemical
• Sodium benzoate
• Sorbic acid
• Sodium or calcium propionate
• Sulfur dioxide
Radiation
• X-Rays
• Microwaves
• Ultraviolet light
• Gamma Rays
• etc.
Common Method For Preservation Of Food
Chilling and freezing
Canning
Dehydration
Fermentation
Salting
Sweetening
Vaccum Packing
Pastuerization
Fermentation.
