Progress 10/01/10 to 09/30/15
Outputs OUTPUTS: We documented that thermal shock enhances survival of strains of Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in beef during slow-cooking. Inoculation of roasts and cooking under a standard process can ensure pathogen destruction. PARTICIPANTS: Dr. Steve Ingham, formerly professor, Dr. Barbara Ingham, professor and food safety extension specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ms. Kim Wiegand (M.S.) and Ms. Akhila Vasan (Ph.D. candidate) contributed to an understanding of pathogen survival and modeling of pathogen destruction during the slow-cooking process. TARGET AUDIENCES: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
