Uncover the nuances of food safety with Nemis Technologies. From swift ATP insights to in-depth pathogen analysis, gain a comprehensive understanding for a safer food production environment.
Ever questioned the true cleanliness of your food production facility? Visual checks alone are not enough to guarantee the absence of nasty pathogens – ensuring surfaces are free from harmful bacteria requires a deeper understanding.
In this crucial Application Note, Nemis Technologies delves into Environmental Monitoring, a pivotal aspect of ensuring the safety of food processing environments.
ATP Analysis
Discover the reliability of ATP analysis, a rapid measure of surface cleanliness. ATP, present in all living cells, serves as an immediate indicator of organic material. Low ATP results prompt swift corrective actions, making it a crucial tool for maintaining cleanliness.
From FT-IR to FT-NIR: New technology drives a new future for dairy
The ever-changing dairy industry requires new technologies and solutions to remain profitable. With the move to mega-dairies, optimisation is required for processors to stay competitive.
During this on-demand webinar, we will discuss the difference in technology from FT-IR vs. FT-NIR and how it works. We will explore applications from raw milk to finished products and where they may fit into your process. Bruker has the right solution to maximise profits and minimise process variation in your facility.
Pathogen Analysis
Explore the depth of food safety with pathogen analysis, vital for identifying harmful pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. However, it lacks the immediacy of ATP analysis, posing a challenge for quick corrective actions.
Time Challenge in Pathogen Analysis
Pathogen testing takes time, a critical factor for food manufacturers. Unlike ATP analysis, pathogen results are not immediately available, affecting the ability to take timely corrective actions.
Understanding ATP Levels and Bacterial Presence
While ATP is a valuable indicator, it’s not foolproof. External factors and the low ATP production per bacterium can impact results. The key lies in combining ATP and pathogen testing for a more comprehensive assessment.
