Fruit Vegetable Wash Effective never Avoid Bacteria

Written By bos blog on Selasa, 28 Juni 2011 | 21.04

Washing fruits and vegetables with water or cleaning fluid or cooked before consumption is a wise move to avoid possible poisoning, vomiting or diarrhea.

However, in the opinion of experts of microbes in the United States, standard procedure is not longer effective in relieving the food from contamination of pathogenic bacteria causing suck.

As revealed in a meeting of the American Chemical Society-235, researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that efforts to clean vegetable or fruit - even with the use of chlorine disinfectant though - it can not guarantee the fruit or vegetable is free from harmful bacteria.

Research shows that different types of specific disease-causing microbes are often able to avoid chemical cleaners. These bacteria are fairly astute ¨ ¨ hiding and make a hole and live in lettuce, spinach or other vegetables and fruits. In other words, the extent of cleanup efforts at the surface alone will not be able to reach this harmful bacteria.

In addition, microbes can organize themselves into a community called a biofilm, which coats the fruit and vegetables and can protect the bacteria from damage. Bacterial community like this can manifest into a variety of harmful bacteria that cause infections such as salmonella or E. coli.

As one solution to overcome this problem, experts from the USDA recommend radiation or irradiation techniques as a replacement procedures are effective in killing pathogenic bacteria. This radiation technique is still under discussion by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), especially regarding security aspects as well as long-term impact.

USDA microbiologist, Brendan A Niemira said that it is technically done by radiation or mempaparkan irradiate food to an electron source reactor which will then turn off parasites and destroying pathogens or insects in food.

He stated this technique can reduce the amount of disease caused by infection from the food chain each year.

• When bacteria are protected, whether when they are in leaf or a biofilm - they can not be killed easily. This is the first research to monitor the use of radiation on the bacteria that dwell in the innermost chamber of leaves or shrouded in a biofilm, ¨ bright Niemira.

To see how pathogenic bacteria respond to a variety of cleaning techniques, Niemira and his team conducted experiments in the laboratory. They use leaf lettuce and spinach are then contacted with a liquid containing the bacteria E.coli.

These bacteria are suppressed in such a way to use a vacuum perfusion process to soak into the leaves. The leaves were then washed for three minutes with water, three-minute chemical treatment or irradiation.

After the cleaning process, the leaves are soaked in liquid air-neutral pH and then removed and counted the bacteria content.

The results showed that washing with pure water does not effectively reduce levels of pathogens in both the spinach and lettuce. Washing with liquid sodium hypochlorite also showed no significant decrease in E. coli cells in spinach leaves, although this washing indicated a decrease of less than 90 percent of E. coli in lettuce samples.

Meanwhile, Ionizing radiation, significantly reduced the pathogen population in both the spinach and lettuce. Annihilation rate depends on the dose applied, but at the highest dose tested cols bacterial reduction can reach up to 99.99 percent and 99.99 percent on romaine lettuce on a spinach.

The researchers then conducted tests using biofilms to see how strong strain of salmonella and E.coli can survive the radiation.

Biofilms that contained Salmonella tended to be easily killed by exposure to radiation, while the infected E. coli biofilms tend to be more resistant.

Intoxicating Candies

DRUGS-shaped crystals, similar to a strawberry-flavored Pop Rock candy (if you can diemut fizz in the mouth), some time ago already memjadi warm conversation in the community. It smelled like strawberries and are thought to have circulated freely in the neighborhood schools.


For children, the goods are mistaken for sweets (candy). Though this candy can cause them to enter the hospital and hooked.

In addition to strawberry flavors, these candies are given the scent of chocolate, nuts, kola, Chery, grapes, and oranges. Every parent should warn their children not to accept candy this type of people who are not known, although from a friend though.

Keep in mind, the type of drugs currently available are very diverse, not just marijuana, pills koplo, cocaine, ecstasy and shabu. The new variant of drug that looks like candy there is known as the famous, Yaba.

Yaba candy brand drugs are thought to have entered Indonesia, although this new variant has not been found by the police. In Singapore, since 2006 this type of candy has been secured by the Central Narcotics Bureau of Singapore. Singaporean authorities had foiled the smuggling of 1600 Yaba pills worth $ 16,000 in Singapore.

History

Yaba is said to be produced in a region known as the golden triangle of international drug distribution, ie, on the border of Thailand-Laos-Myamar. There are other versions that mention, the first person to make Yaba is a German chemist Adolf Hitler's top order. This special orders made for the Nazis in World War (PD) II.

The results are astonishing, the soldiers who ate Yaba superkuat and superberani seems to be like Rambo. Nazi soldiers constantly fighting all day without fatigue.

The drug is given a code D-IX. The process of creation began in November 1944 at Sachsenhausen, near Berlin, Germany, and then tested on prisoners in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. There are 18 detainees who were given D-IX, and then forced to march around the field. Given their shoulders the burden weighing 20 kg.

For hours they marched, singing and whistling around the field without a break. If calculated, the distance reached more than 90 km. It makes no sense to do if the human in normal circumstances. However, after the first 24 hours, the efficacy of these drugs brought disaster to the wearer. They fell instantly collapsed and died. Surprisingly, when the Nazi doctors were very impressed with the results of experiment D-IX. They enthusiastically and then plan a program to supply the whole German army with this pill. Fortunately, the war was over before drug trigger D-IX are mass produced.

D-IX rise again. Whether anyone who raises it. Its name was changed to Yaba, taken from the Thai language which means approximately crazy medicine (crazy medicine).

Mentioned the famous Yaba in Thailand. As with other drugs pills, people who drink it will experience the sensation. He could become too excited, aggressive, like a demon, and not feel tired. The amount of pills was about the tip of a pencil eraser. On one side there is a logo bearing the R or WY.

The pills contain about 25-35 mg of methamphetamine mixed with caffeine (45-65 mg). Exact composition is not known for sure. Even some that say, Yaba results oplosan salt, household cleaning fluid, distillates cough medicine, and lithium camera battery.

Unlike medical drugs in general are bitter, Yaba has a variety of flavors. Starting from the taste of wine, orange flavor, vanilla, and the color of any variety, such as redness or pink, orange, and green. So when found the "candy" like this, do not rush to put in the mouth. It could be that it was not candy.

Ice Beam Not to Drink

Little upset stomach Because of drinking iced syrup at school? What is it, huh?

ICE BEAM made from the raw water! This news Will Certainly Make us worry about the child snack habits. However, an ice company in the region of WHO Could be contacted Pulogadung Tabloid Nakita refute the news.


They say not all companies use raw water ice. They themselves use That water has been through sterilization. Only, indeed no one can guarantee the cleanliness of ice During its transportation and storage. Moreover, some ice blocks made for the purpose of preservation of marine products and cool drinks in containers. That is why many traders use ice Drinks That are not worthy of consumption.

A study conducted showed the Faculty of Food Technology IPB, ice blocks taken around campus Darmaga IPB, Bogor, 10% of the which contain the bacteria E. coli. Other bacteria are also Identified at the time of testing were the resource persons Enterobacter sp, Enterobacter cloacea, Pseudomonas sp., Citrobacter and Klebsiella. However, of all the bacteria, the presence of E.coli bacteria That warrants concern.

SAFE TIPS

Actually, the bacteria die Will Pls heated at a temperature of 1000C. Therefore, the water Will be used for making ice Should Be boiled egg until boiling. Another technique to kill bacteria is to be frozen up to 00C. However, not all the bacteria die in the temperature of 00C. No Wonder That some bacteria in the ice was still Able to survive. Pls Then the ice melts at room temperature, bacteria will of re-breed.

Should We also notice the chain of ice blocks from the producer to the consumer. Generally, ice was Brought without good packaging, simply use burlap or even not packaged at all. Very Likely over through the eyes of the chain from producers to consumers, the ice was contaminated with the bacteria E. coli.

Observe also, many restaurants or merchants iced beverage stores logs in the timber depot or zinc on the roadside. Cleanliness would not be guaranteed.

To be safe, you Should Make sure the origin of the ice Will be consumed. When the water comes from a decent storage consumed and maintained, it means the ice is safe. If unsure, just select beverages in packaging That has been cooled without the need to be mixed with ice cubes.

Known E. Coli

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are bacteria That live inside the human gut. Existence outside the human body as indicators of food and beverage sanitation, if ever Sewage polluted by human or not. The presence of E. coli in water or food is also Considered to have high correlation with the discovery of Germs (pathogens) in food.

There are Several types of E. coli are commonly encountered in everyday life, namely:

1. E. coli Enterophatogenic

No Harm in most adults but Often Causes diarrhea in infants. Possibly transmitted through water used for washing bottles. Therefore, feeding bottle Should Be boiled egg after washing to Prevent diarrhea.

2. E. coli enteroinvasive

Quite dangerous Because it can cause dysentery. That Usually characterized by stools contain blood.

3. E. coli enterotoxigenic

Many Causes of diarrhea in travelers (travelers diarrhea). These bacteria are not harmful.

4. E.coli Enterohemoragik

Bacteria are very dangerous. In research-Hariyadi Dewayanti-et.al, 2001, declared these live bacteria in raw ground beef. Other Researchers also found on poultry Slaughterhouse wastewater.
