El binomi temps/temperatura en la indústria alimentària
Abstract
The work presented by this community of practice (CoP) aims to be a support tool when evaluating the suitability and effectiveness of the time/temperature binomial used by food industries in those stages of the production process where these parameters are relevant to guarantee the food security. The information has been obtained by the authors from the bibliographic search. As the work team progressed in this investigation, the range of values recommended by different sources increased. This dance of figures is due, among other issues, to the multiple possible combinations of time and temperature values, as well as the factors to be taken into account when establishing these parameters to obtain safe foods: intrinsic characteristics of the product (aw , ph...), packaging conditions, pathogen to be controlled, shelf life of the finished product. Thus, often, the information contained in this work must be interpreted by the reader who must keep in mind, on the one hand, the variables that may affect the determination of the time/temperature binomial and, on the other, the non-concordance between what is established current regulations and proposals from other sources.
