Importance Of Safe Food Handling

Safe food handling in a kitchen is vital for human survival, without it, we could be putting harmful substances and bacteria in our system that has the potential to make us sick. Because of this potential, ‘safe food handling’ has been put in place to help make the kitchen safer. This essay will go on to talk about bacteria as pathogenic, some of the factors that are affecting bacterial growth, with the reference to some of the experiment 's that were done to see which homemade remedies worked the best to remove bacteria, and recommendations and the importance of the experiments results to the hospitality industry.

Bacteria are an important factor when it comes to safe food handling within the kitchen, because even though some bacteria are

The pH of an environment, which is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity -- is important for bacterial growth. Most strains of bacteria prefer to grow in conditions with neutral pH, similar to the pH of the human body, therefore this is similar to the temperature as is talking about the human body because some bacteria’s rely on simular temperatures and PH to those of the human body showing their similarity. The final factor that can contribute to bacteria growth is Food/Nutrients because all bacteria whether is needs any of the other factors about all requite energy to survive, live and grow and food/nutrients require energy sources such as sugars, starch, protein, fats and other compounds to help provide the nutrients that the bacteria

However, this strain of bacteria is able to live for relatively short periods of time outside of the body. This enables it to be detected within food and water. There are several strains of E Coli bacteria which reside within the lower intestine and perform a range of useful functions, such as protecting the body against disease and infection. In an experiment that was conducted from the 3rd of May till the 4th of May, homemade remedies were tested to see which one worked best in fighting against the bacteria of the E Coli and most likely they 0157:H7 strain. There were 5 ‘homemade remedies’ that were used to conduct this experiment and the base were water while we used bleach, vinegar, Teatree oil and Hydrochloric acid as our homemade remedies and the goal was to see which of these would work best to attack and kill the E-Coli and was on a cotton swab and on
