A practical approach to microbial testing to support non

Dec 03 2008Organisms can survive better in dry environments than in sub-optimal moist environments due to the defense mechanisms which bacteria use as water activity decreases6 At extreme humidity 95% typically most solids have more problems beyond that of microbial growth such as softening of tablets and caking of powders

Microbial inoculation of seed for improved crop

May 17 2016Microbial inoculants applied as seed treatments deliver microorganisms directly to the plant rhizosphere—the narrow zone of soil that surrounds the roots where plants interact directly with microorganisms (Philippot et al 2013) It is a zone of intense microbial activity with growth of plants and microorganisms dependent on reciprocal provision of nutrients and a

Technology Review: Innovation in Microbial Interventions

AgION Technologies' AgION antimicrobial coating technology another silver ion delivery system being used in the manufacture of building and equipment components to inhibit microbial growth Interesting applications include the use of AgION in hardware and plumbing used in the foodservice industry and in commercial HVAC air handling units

Drying Drying is a common food manufacturing process The drying rate is a strong function of air flow or air velocity Therefore it is of great importance to know the air flow and velocity in the drying chamber thus leading to know the areas of adequate air velocities for proper drying

Black Max

Max-Dri is a moisture management technology which allows a fabric to dry quickly In doing so it keeps one's skin dry to increase endurance in active environments Along with Max-Dri technology this material is incorporated with an anti-microbial treatment preventing odor and growth of bacteria fungi and mold for a healthier and more

Risk Factors Influencing Microbial Contamination in Food

According to the study conducted by Michaels et al effective hand-drying may reduce microbial population up to 90% As result of inappropriate drying practices residual moisture of hands drying hands with sheets of cloth or inefficient air dryers that lengthen the drying time are encountered [ 94 ]

Microbiology: Detection of microbiological contamination

Compact Dry plates are available for 13 different parameters of analysis General method base of examinations with Compact Dry is the cultivation of microorganisms on standard nutrient media The test principle is based on specific chromogenic substrates which are converted into colored products by the metabolism of microorganisms

Coatings

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) which can generate low-pollution power through microbial decomposition are a potentially vital technology with applications in environmental protection and energy recovery The electrode materials used in MFCs are crucial determinants of their capacity to generate electricity In this study we proposed an electrode surface modification

Freeze

Freeze drying also known as lyophilisation or cryodesiccation is a low temperature dehydration process that involves freezing the product lowering pressure then removing the ice by sublimation This is in contrast to dehydration by most conventional methods that evaporate water using heat Freeze drying results in a high quality product because of the low temperature

Efficacy

Microorganisms vary greatly in their resistance to chemical germicides and sterilization processes (Figure 1) 342 Intrinsic resistance mechanisms in microorganisms to disinfectants vary For example spores are resistant to disinfectants because the spore coat and cortex act as a barrier mycobacteria have a waxy cell wall that prevents disinfectant entry and gram-negative

What to consider when selecting cleanroom disinfectants

Mar 03 2016Always ensure that surfaces are dry prior to starting cleanroom activities Spray or wipe?
