Infrared Pasteurization – Deli Ham

Validation Testing: Reduction of Listeria monocytogenes on Deli Ham Surfaces Using a Radiant Heat Oven.

Title:Reduction on Listeria monocytogenes on Deli Ham Surfaces Using a Radiant Heat Oven

Objectives:To determine microbial reduction conditions for Listeria monocytogenes on deli hams passed through a radiant heat oven/tunnel:

a) Microbial reduction at various select residence times (depends on product).
b) Temperature will be set at maximum (can be adjusted down if need be).
c) Surface-inoculated trials with 4-strain cocktail of Listeria monocytogenes.
