Is the Product Safe?
Kampuchea can be a safe product, once brewed correctly and in the right sterile environment. Experts warn about the dangers of unpasteurized and home-brewing Kampuchea being produced in non-sterile surroundings and the threat of harmful bacteria entering the tea. It is recommended to drink Kampuchea that has been prepared commercially and pasteurized. Reports have found that there can be adverse effects from drinking the tea, varying from an upset stomach to metabolic acidosis, which is the build-up of excessive acid in the body, and toxic reactions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have alerted consumers that home-brewed Kampuchea is at high contamination risks. Unpasteurized Kombucha, unless it is refrigerated, can begin to ferment in the bottle bringing its alcohol content to the same level as some beers. Pasteurising Kombucha decreases the probability of increasing alcohol levels and it makes it safer to consume. However, most kombucha drinkers want the natural, unprocessed beverage (Zelman, 2014).
Kampuchea is a variable and complex combination of microorganism; therefore it is difficult to ensure the safety of every home-made batch. Case reports have suggested that Kampuchea brewing can cause problems such as jaundice, throat tightness, nausea, headaches, liver inflammation, dizziness and even unconsciousness (Srinivasan, et.al., 1997). It is not obvious whether these symptoms are due to an unusual reaction to a generally non-toxic product, or if they are because of unusual toxin that had developed in certain Kampuchea batch.
Is the Product Environmentally Sustainable?
All of the waste products generated by Kampuchea brewing can be recycled or repurposed. Spent tea leaves and all compostable ...

7 Filter or remove Biological Hazard: Cross contamination Clean and sanitized utensils are needed
8(a) Option A): consume on premises Chemical hazard: Potential for acidosis or acid ingestion is present. If there is mould present, mycotoxins could form. pH end point should be greater than or equal to 2.5. Overfermentation can cause acetic acid to increase to hazardous levels. No more than 4oz. per day should be consumed.
8(b) Option B): Package for retail sale
Biological Hazard: Spoilage with yeasts or mould. Over fermentation can produce excessive acetic acid. Also labelling can cause chemical hazards: potential for acid ingestion or acidosis exits. Pasteurise-hot fill at 180 degreed into clean containers. Cap and invert 15 seconds. Cool.
We finally took 1ml of the 0.01% solution from test tube using the glucose pipette and adding it to test tube 4, we then used the H2O pipette and added 9ml of H2O to test tube 4 creating 10ml of 0.001% solution.

You are taking an evening walk through a forest in southern Mexico and you spot something in the trees. Is it a bird? Is it a lemur? No, it’s a kinkajou! You see it leaping thorough the branches of the canopy above you. The kinkajous body is less than 24 inches long, while their tail adds another 16-22 inches. Their fur is thick and it comes in two colors which are either reddish brown or yellowish brown. The kinkajou’s tail has a black tip at the end of it. Their tails play an important part in their lifestyle because it helps them hang upside down and get a good grasp on things. The kinkajou can climb up their own tail like a rope. Their 2 big eyes help them see throughout the night because they are nocturnal animals. Kinkajous have sharp claws on their hands and feet. Their feet are very flexible when they have to jump or quickly run away from their predators.

Food hazards can be generally defined as a state or pollutant that may have the potential to cause disease. The issues of food hazards have become widely recognized internationally in the last decade. With modern technology, scientists have been able to identify foodborne diseases prompted by food hazards on a global scale and have acknowledged these hazards as a primary cause of morbidity (Friis, 2012). I chose to focus on food hazards, their significance, and their effect on a global scale because this is an issue that most people have, at some point, encountered throughout life. In my own life, I’ve experienced mild illness as a result of food that had been exposed to harmful bacteria, and have known individuals who faced more serious health
The purpose of our lab is to construct the models of cells using the dialysis tubing to stimulate the selectively permeable nature of the plasma membrane, observe the effects of osmosis on a model cell and to be able to predict the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. The independent variable in this lab is the amount of sucrose concentration. The dependent variable is the mass and the constant variable in our lab is the fluid sucrose concentration. In this lab one safety guideline to follow is be sure to always wear safety goggles, gloves, and a lab apron to protect your eyes and clothing when working with any chemicals. Another safety precaution is to dispose of any waste materials and clean up your work area as directed by the instructor. A third lab safety precaution to follow is to always wash your hands before leaving the laboratory.
If the spores release into the air, they are small enough to be inhaled and breathing in large amounts of these spores can have a negative impacts on one’s health. Health risks can include; Eye, nose and throat irritation, coughing and phlegm build up, wheezing and shortness of breath, symptoms of asthma and allergic reactions.
and can cause many harmful things such as liver damage, cancer, heart damage and even
A Geisha is a traditional Japanese entertainer. They are skilled in many things, some being playing classical music, dancing, and pottery. Geisha have played a big part in Japan's history because they have been around for so long and have entertained many of the Japanese Shoguns and Emperors. Recently the numbers of Geisha have decreased greatly and the art is slowly growing extinct. It is important to keep this tradition alive to teach future generations about the Japanese arts.
...e of bacterial contamination of raw materials subject to environmental pollution, sterilization is not complete, improper storage methods and unsanitary operations.
Harmful bacteria are the most common causes of foodborne illnesses. Some bacteria may be present on foods when you purchase them. Raw foods are not sterile. Raw meat and poultry may become contaminated during slaughter. Seafood may become contaminated during harvest or through processing. One in 20,000 eggs may be contaminated with Salmonella inside the egg shell. Produce such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, and melons can become contaminated with Salmonella, Shigella, or Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7. Contamination can occur during growing, harvesting, processing, storing, shipping, or final preparation. Sources of contamination are varied; however, these items are grown in the soil and therefore may become contaminated during growth or through processing and distribution. Contamination may also occur during food preparation in the restaurant or in the person's kitchen.
...e use of strong chemicals there is concern that organic food may carry deadly bacteria. Two deadly bacteria that becomes a concern are E. coli, and Salmonella. Prevalence of Campylobacter Jejuni in organic chicken is also a concern. C.jejuni is a micro organism that frequently contaminates raw chicken. Raw milk is also a source of this infection. This bacteria can be carried by healthy cattle and flies on farms.
This comprises of pesticides on vegetables and fruits, poisonous mushrooms and also improper way of preparing exotic foods like barracuda.
There is a clear link between the food consumption and human life span, with food manufacturers in the middle of that relationship. Food manufacturing is of great significance in a society because they produce majority of the food that individuals eat. Excess amount of consummation require food manufacturers to produce great amount of product in a short period of time which also makes food manufacturing quite lucrative. Considering the lack of regulation by authorities and other factors, food manufacturers are receding on the information about the amount of chemical used in food processing. Food manufacturers claim that the use of these excessive amounts of chemical such as antibiotics, steroid, and spray in food manufacturing process is for the benefit of the consumer’s health. Despite their claim this does not erase the fact that excessive use of chemicals in food processing is because of huge economical profit, to respond to high demand by consumers and poor control of food.
