F5-A (jun 07 2002), E5-A (dec 20 2001) |
| Recommended semester: 1st - 4th semester |
| Scope and form: lectures, seminars, lab exercises |
| Evaluation: Written exam and approval of reports
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Compulsory: 24101 |
| Aim: To give students, who will work in production, production design and quality control in the bioindustry, a basic understanding of the interaction between microbiology and process equipment and process environments, the influence of processes on microorganisms, microbiological methods for detection and localization of microorganisms, and finally tools for hygiene control in the bioindustry. |
| Contents: Interaction between microbiology and production environment and process equipment: microbial aspects involving layout of production environment, ventilation, contamination, clean room and aseptic process environments, transport of raw materials, processing aids, products and personnel in the production environment, introduction to hygienic design, cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of product equipment, CIP-cleaning. Influence of processes on microorganisms: microbial resistance, survival, sublethal damage and kill by the used processes (heat processing, cleaning and disinfection, filtration, drying etc.). Biofilm formation and removal. Microbiological tools: methods for quick isolation, characterization and localization of microorganisms in the production environment and in / on process equipment (chemoluminiscens, impedimetrics, molecular-microbial methods etc.), sampling methods. Methods for evaluation of microbial spoilage potential (sublethal injury vs. kill). Process control tools: hygienic control (HACCP, AIDAS), GXP, ISO 9000, SPC. |
