Track 3: Food Spoilage & Preservation

Food spoilage results in the loss of original nutritional value, texture and flavour of the food and then food gets contaminated and it’s unsuitable to eat. Presence of microorganisms is the main reason but not the only cause of deterioration of food. On the other hand, reducing activity of microorganisms or prevention is primarily connected with preservation of food.

Track 4: Characterization of Food Hazard

Hazard characterization need to be conducted as stand-alone processes or as component of risk assessment. It results in human adverse health effects that may result from ingestion of pathogenic microorganisms. All hazards are assessed and categorized into three groups: Microbiological, chemical and physical hazards. When food gets contaminated by the presence of microorganisms in the air, food, water, soil, animals and the human body then it leads to Microbiological hazard. Microorganisms commonly associated with foodborne illnesses include bacteria, viruses and parasites. Chemical hazards can occur at any point during harvesting, storage, preparation and service. Contamination may occur through environment, manufacturing processes, and addition of food additives and Intentional use of chemicals, such as pesticide.  Physical hazards occur due to accidental contamination and because of poor food handling practices.

Track 5: Food Poisoning & its Control

Food poisoning occurs when adequate numbers of particular types of bacteria grows in food and their toxins are present in the food you eat. These harmful bacteria are called pathogens. Food poisoning bacteria can multiply very quickly, particularly in certain conditions. The factors that affect bacterial growth include time, temperature, nutrients   , water and pH.  Food loss is defined as “the decrease in quantity or quality of food” and are the agricultural or fisheries products intended for human consumption that are ultimately not eaten by people or that have incurred a reduction in quality reflected in their nutritional value, economic value or food safety. The major part of food loss is “food waste”, which indicates about the discarding or alternative (nonfood) use of food that would be fit for human consumption – by choice or after the food has been left to spoil or expire as a result of negligence. The root cause of food waste in developed and developing countries relate mainly due to the consumer behaviour and the policies and regulations put in place to address other sectorial priorities. For example, agricultural subsidies may contribute to the production of surplus quantities of farm crops, of which at least a proportion is lost or wasted. Food safety and quality standards can be applied in ways that remove food that is still safe for human consumption from the food supply chain. Keeping a note on the expiry date at the time of purchasing and to use the food before its expiry date may reduce the avoidable food waste.

Track 7:  Foodborne Pathogen

Food Safety Conference mainly focuses on Foodborne illness continues to be an urgent issue across the globe. The epidemiology of foodborne disease is changing. New pathogens have emerged, and some have spread worldwide. Many, including Salmonella, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Campylobacter, and Yersinia enterocolitica, have reservoirs in healthy food animals, from which they spread to an increasing variety of foods. These pathogens cause millions of cases of sporadic illness and chronic diseases, as well as large and challenging outbreaks over many states and nations. Improved disease surveillance that combines rapid subtyping methods, cluster analysis, and epidemiological data analysis can identify and halt large, dispersed outbreaks. Outbreak investigations and case-control studies of sporadic cases can identify sources of infection and guide the development of specific prevention strategies. Better understanding of how pathogens persist in animal reservoirs is also critical to successful long-term prevention. Prevention of foodborne disease will increasingly depend on controlling food contamination and water consumed by the animals themselves.
