Microbiological programs

To assure a consistently acceptable high quality production environment the following microbiological programs should be in placet ... 

Activities encompassed by the stability program include sample storage of either development or production batches (or both), data collection and storage/retrieval, physical, chemical, and microbiological testing, document preparation of regulatory...

Soy proteins are used extensively in meat and meat products by the military, the school lunch program and consumers to save money. Their ultimate acceptability is equally dependent upon the nutritional, chemical, sensory and shelf life changes which occur when they are added. Soy proteins in meat products such as ground beef inhibit rancidity, improve tenderness, increase moisture retention, decrease cooking shrink, fat dispersion during cooking and have no important effect on microbiological condition. Concomittantly, inordinate amounts of added soy protein may cause the meat product to be too soft, exhibit an undesirable flavor and may lead to a decreased PER and a deficiency in B-vitamins and trace minerals. In emulsified meat products, soy protein effectively binds water but does not emulsify fat as well as salt soluble muscle protein. Prudent incorporation of plant proteins can result in an improvement of the quality of the meat product with inconsequential adverse effects.

However, in contrast to microbiological experiments and near-surface studies, modelling of sulfate reduction in pore water profiles with in the ODP program has demonstrated that natural populations are able to fractionate S-isotopes by up to more than 70%c (Wortmann et al. 2001 Rudnicki et al. 2001). Brunner et al. (2005) suggested that S isotope fractionations of around -70%c might occur under hyper-sulfidic, substrate limited, but nonlimited supply of sulfate, conditions without the need of alternate pathways involving the oxidative sulfur cycle.
