- [00:00:00.035]Hello everyone.
- [00:00:01.740]My name is Grace Gatima Mahoro.
- [00:00:03.993]I'm a senior majoring in Integrated Sciences
- [00:00:08.070]and with concentrations in Food Science and Technology.
- [00:00:12.060]And today I'll be presenting
- [00:00:14.200]about the evaluation of ozonated water spray
- [00:00:17.220]for the microbiological decontamination
- [00:00:19.540]of food contact surfaces.
- [00:00:22.290]And so lately one of the issues that
- [00:00:24.600]the food industry is facing
- [00:00:26.660]is the presence of pathogenic microorganisms
- [00:00:31.720]causing foodborne illnesses and also spoilage organisms
- [00:00:36.640]that are reducing the shelf life.
- [00:00:39.410]And so there has been the need for another alternative
- [00:00:43.290]to clean and sanitize and reduce those pathogens
- [00:00:48.880]and micro organisms that are causing harm to food.
- [00:00:53.370]And one of those alternatives is the presence
- [00:00:55.340]of ozonated water that is being used
- [00:00:58.820]for both food contact surfaces and food itself.
- [00:01:02.330]And that is, the food on which ozonated water
- [00:01:08.660]is being used on is meat, poultry produce and others,
- [00:01:13.150]and also on other equipment, on food contact surfaces
- [00:01:17.220]such as equipments and homemade utensils.
- [00:01:20.613]So the objective of this research was to see
- [00:01:30.410]and evaluate the efficacy
- [00:01:32.540]of commercials ozonated water systems
- [00:01:35.300]in help of decontaminating food contact surfaces
- [00:01:40.640]and in households, because there's an increase in production
- [00:01:45.430]of ozonated water bottle sprays that are sold commercially.
- [00:01:50.720]And if those can easily remove micro organisms,
- [00:01:56.187]we would like to know, it is important to know,
- [00:02:00.140]to validate it's efectiveness and to ensure
- [00:02:05.340]that they can really remove the microbiological activities
- [00:02:10.740]as it related in their commercials.
- [00:02:16.897]So during this study materials that were used
- [00:02:21.890]to food contact surfaces
- [00:02:25.800]those were the polypropylene cutting boards
- [00:02:29.900]and stainless steel chef knives.
- [00:02:32.730]And to ensure that there was no
- [00:02:34.300]other micro biological activities occurring
- [00:02:39.060]on the food surfaces,
- [00:02:42.270]the cutting boards were autoclaved
- [00:02:44.580]and the knives were flamed sterilized
- [00:02:47.950]to remove any other bacterias that might be present
- [00:02:51.990]on their surfaces.
- [00:02:55.760]And so bacteria suspensions of E.Coli, listeria innocua,
- [00:03:01.050]staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas species
- [00:03:06.370]were spotted and collected
- [00:03:07.600]onto a hundred centimeter squared area
- [00:03:10.040]of the cutting boards and the blades of the knives.
- [00:03:12.950]And there were left to attach for 30 minutes
- [00:03:15.747]at room temperature.
- [00:03:18.562]And then what three water works sanitizing spray bottle
- [00:03:23.130]that contains at least
- [00:03:24.380]almost 1.5 to 2 PPM ozone concentration.
- [00:03:29.450]It was sprayed on the diseminated area
- [00:03:33.080]following the manufacturer's instructions.
- [00:03:36.360]And it was left to stay there for 30 seconds
- [00:03:40.090]and 60 seconds respectively.
- [00:03:42.420]The surface was some producing polyurethane sponge samplers
- [00:03:48.230]with D/E neutralizing broth.
- [00:03:51.580]To see if there was any growth
- [00:03:53.240]or any change in bacterial counts
- [00:03:55.840]we use macconkey agar for E.Coli,
- [00:03:58.430]luria broth agar for pseudomonas species,
- [00:04:02.010]brain heart infusion agar for listeria innocua
- [00:04:05.030]and tryptic soy agar for staphylococcus.
- [00:04:08.370]So they were some untreated areas
- [00:04:10.380]and those were used as the control.
- [00:04:13.120]And the experiment was performed in Triplicates
- [00:04:17.800]And now going to the results as you can see,
- [00:04:20.100]we have both a table and a graph that shows
- [00:04:24.480]the reduction in microbial counts
- [00:04:26.977]and also a table that shows the bacterial counts
- [00:04:32.500]in comparison to the time, the control and ozonated
- [00:04:38.190]and comparison between board and knife.
- [00:04:41.690]And as you can see on the graph there was a difference
- [00:04:47.310]in reduction where 30 seconds there was barely any reduction
- [00:04:53.960]when it came to the difference
- [00:04:59.700]between ozonated treated surfaces and control surfaces.
- [00:05:06.933]And when the time that it was applied increased
- [00:05:17.930]to 60 seconds, and there was an increase in reduction.
- [00:05:21.980]And when we went to board, to the knives
- [00:05:25.780]there was also a higher increase.
- [00:05:27.570]And that shows that an increase in time suspension
- [00:05:33.300]or an increase in time allows the ozone to work
- [00:05:38.540]and remove the micro organisms.
- [00:05:43.080]So, which means it works better
- [00:05:46.060]on the 60 seconds than on the 30 seconds.
- [00:05:49.560]So our conclusions that were drawn from these results
- [00:05:53.450]were that the exposure time influenced the decrease
- [00:05:57.280]in microbial counts and effectiveness of the ozonated water.
- [00:06:01.500]Surface material influenced effectiveness
- [00:06:04.470]of ozonated water as a greater reduction were achieved
- [00:06:08.400]on stainless steel compared to polypropylene, and listeria innocua
- [00:06:13.610]showed greater reduction on cutting boards.
- [00:06:18.540]And while E.Coli showed greater increase
- [00:06:22.860]in reduction on stainless steel.
- [00:06:26.050]knives, and that will be all for the presentation.
- [00:06:31.620]I would like to thank my supervisor Carmen Cano,
- [00:06:35.770]my direct supervisor Carmen Cano
- [00:06:37.570]and my mentor Dr. Bryon Chaves
- [00:06:40.310]for helping me throughout this research.
- [00:06:42.980]And I hope you enjoyed learning
- [00:06:45.840]about ozonated water spray and its effect
- [00:06:50.890]on decontaminating food contact surfaces.
- [00:06:55.890]That will be all for today.
- [00:06:57.260]Thank you for watching.
