Listeria — Put It To The Test Hav e v'oii counted the number of steps in your Listeria method? We have, and our findings may surprise you. It’s no secret that every additional step in a lab test increases the risk of lab error. A superior Listeria method will deliver results faster and with fewer steps. QA Life Sciences has a better answer. We’ve developed a brand new' Listeria selective culture medium called LM-137. When combined with our ISO-GRID Membrane Filter, LM-137 produces results in less time with fewer steps and at lower cost than any other Listeria method. Listeria Methods Compared

What Members are Saying:

John Bruhn, Director - University of California-Davis, Dairy Research & Information Center “I certainly support the name selected! The change to an association name that more correctly reflects the programs, activities, and membership co-positions is important.”

Maribeth Rasmussen, Assistant Microbiologist - Cargill Central Research “I think the new name reflects more of what the association is than the old acronym. What a way to start the new millennium.”

Frank Yiannas, Manager of Environmental Health - Walt Disney World “I strongly support changing the name of lAMFES - the new name would not only better reflect our mission, but also our Membership.”

Robert Marshall, Professor - University of Missouri “I am elated that lAMFES is attempting to get the name of the organization changed. Thanks for the leadership in the name change.”

Ruff Lowman, Research Coordinator - Canadian Food Inspection Agency “Just read your commentary on the change to International Association for Food Protection- makes perfect sense to a new Member.”

The data were analyzed according to the method described by Pflug and Blai.sdell (5).

RESULTS

Collected data are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 is the logarithmic plot of the center food temperature of the two products, minus air tem¬ perature, during the cooling cycle. The slopes of the cooling curves are essentially identical. The tempera¬ ture of the mayonnaise in the gallon jar was, initially, approximately 2°F (1.1 °(^) above the temperature of the tapioca pudding in the #10 can and remained so during the entire cool¬ ing cycle. The measurements were stopped after 7 hours, when the tem¬ peratures had reached about 42°F (5.6°C). The actual amount of time required to reach 4l°F (5°C) would probably have been 30 to 60 min¬ utes more, or 7 1/2 to 8 hours. (See Table 1 and Fig. 3.) The mean circulating air tem¬ Figure 2.

Be¬ cause of the exponential nature of the cooling curve, the initial cooling plot is not sensitive to a 2- to -3°F (1.1- to -1.7°C) variance in refrigera¬ tor temperature. Whether the refrig¬ erator temperature is at 38 or 34°F (3 3 or 1.1°(^) is not significant to the driving force of cooling when the temperature difference is 1()()°F (55°(>). However, near the end of the cooling cycle, when the tempera¬ ture difference between the center of the prtiduct and the driving force (i.e., circulating air temperature) is in the range of 5°F (2.8°C), circulat¬ ing air temperature constancy be¬ comes critical.
