Conference Object Microbiological Risk Assessment and Preventive Actions in Bakery and Beverage Industries in Estonia, Slovenia and Turkey(Technical Research Center of Finland, 2008) Baş, Duygu; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Ehavald, Helen; Eroğlu, Erdal; Filip, Sebastjan; Köksal, Fatma; Marin, Monika; Perne, Gregor; Türetgen, İrfan; Weiss, Martina; Akdoğan, Günay; Veskus, TiinaRisks from microbiological hazards are of immediate and serious concern to human health. Microbiological Risk Analysis (MRA) is a process consisting of three components: risk assessment (RA), risk management (RM), and risk communication (RC), which have the overall objective to ensure public health protection. The MRA process should include quantitative information to the greatest extent possible in the estimation of risk. A MRA should be conducted using a structured approach. Since MRA is a developing science, implementation of the guidelines may require a period of time and may also require specialized training in the countries that consider it necessary. This may be particularly the case for developing countries. This document deals with risk assessment, which is a key element in assuring that sound science is used to establish standards, guidelines and other recommendations for bakery and beverage safety to enhance consumer protection and facilitate international trade. This document will be of primary interest to governmental and research organizations, companies, and other interested parties who need to prepare a MRA will find it valuable.Conference Object Evaluation and Production of Ready-To Meals(Technical Research Center of Finland, 2009) Baysal, Taner; Tamme, Terje; Ehavald, Helen; Korel, Figen; Overes, Maarten; Hödrejärv, Ülle; Kala, Aet; Roasto, MatiReady-to-eat (RTE) is defined as the status of the food being ready for immediate consumption at the point of sale or serve. It could be served as raw or cooked, hot or chilled, and can be consumed without further heat-treatment including reheating (Anon., 2001). RTE vegetables and salads, also called minimally-processed products, are raw products that must preserve as much as possible the nutritional, sensorial and microbial qualities of fresh products. A very wide range of vegetables are used, both cut and whole. Even during refrigerated storage, the fresh fruits and vegetables are characterized by active metabolism.
