EN 14569:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies a microbiological screening method comprising two procedures, which are carried out in parallel

17、. It permits the identification of an unusual microbiological profile in poultry meat. The presence of a large excess population of dead micro-organisms can under certain circumstances be presumptive of irradiation treatment, which means, that the results of the procedure of the determination of end

18、otoxin concentration in the test sample using the Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test and of the procedure of the enumeration of total Gram negative bacteria (GNB) in the test sample are not radiation specific. Therefore, it is recommended that a positive result be confirmed using a standardized re

19、ference method for the detection of irradiated food, e.g. EN 1784, EN 1785 or EN 1786 1 to 3. This screening method has been successfully tested by inter-laboratory trials 4, 5, 6 and the procedure is generally applicable to whole or parts of poultry, e.g. breast, legs, wings of fresh, chilled or fr

20、ozen carcasses with or without skin. The method can also provide information about the microbiological quality of a product prior to irradiation. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition c

21、ited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ENV ISO 11133-1, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs Guidelines on preparation and production of culture media Part 1: General guidelines on quality assurance for the pr

22、eparation of culture media in the laboratory (ISO/TS 11133-1:2000). ISO 7218, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs General rules for microbiological examinations. 3 Principle The method determines the number of viable Gram negative bacteria present in the test sample and the concentration

23、of bacterial endotoxin present on the surfaces of Gram negative bacteria as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) serving as a measure for the estimation of the amount of total Gram negative bacteria, both viable and dead (Figure C.1). If the difference is high, it is assumed that the sample has been treated by

24、 a method of preservation, possibly by treatment with ionising radiation. 4 Procedures The two procedures that are required to be carried out are: Procedure 1: Enumeration of total Gram negative bacteria (GNB) in the test sample (according to Annex A) Procedure 2: Determination of endotoxin concentr

25、ation in the test sample using the Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test (according to Annex B). Samples should be analysed immediately upon receipt (by both GNB and LAL) to reduce any further microbial proliferation. If this is not possible, samples should be stored at 20 C until examination, which

26、should be carried out as soon as possible. 5 Evaluation In accordance with the methods specified in Annexes A and B the number of GNB forming units shall be expressed as log 10colony forming unit (cfu) GNB per gram and the concentration of endotoxin expressed as log 10Endotoxin Units (EU) per gram.

27、The difference between the GNB and the endotoxin results shall be calculated as (log 10EU/g - log 10cfu GNB/g). EN 14569:2004 (E) 5 Samples that are identified as having high endotoxin levels but low levels or no detectable GNB show an unusual microbiological profile. Thus, when log 10EU/g - log 10c

28、fu GNB/g is greater than 0 the sample is suspected of having been irradiated and should be subjected to further radiation specific tests. Samples that are identified as having high endotoxin levels and similarly high Gram negative bacteria counts show a normal microbiological profile. Thus, when log

29、 10EU/g - log 10cfu GNB/g is lower or equal 0, the sample is not suspected of having been irradiated. Samples that are identified as having endotoxin titres log 10EU/g of lower than 2,0 and low levels of GNB, i.e. log 10cfu GNB/g of lower than 2,0 should be considered inconclusive and should be subj

30、ected to further radiation specific tests. 6 Limitations This method can give only an indication of a possible treatment by ionising radiation. A high amount of dead microorganisms in comparison to the viable fraction can be due to several other reasons. It is therefore necessary to confirm a possib

31、le treatment by ionising radiation by a standardized reference method for the detection of irradiated foods. The method is of particular use to routine microbiological laboratories, which may be involved in the examination of foods. It should be noted that freezing after irradiation can influence th

32、e ratio of GNB to EU due to the loss of viability of microorganisms. Conversely, re-growth of bacterial flora can occur in irradiated samples which are stored unfrozen. 7 Validation The method was developed by the UK Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Food Science Laboratory, Norwich (FSL)

33、 and validated by collaborative trial 4, 5, 6. Twenty UK laboratories participated in the trial (16 Public Analyst Laboratories, 3 Public Health Laboratories and FSL). A commercial poultry processor supplied a single batch of boneless chicken breasts with skin and a single batch of boneless chicken

34、breast fillets. Within 24 h of slaughter, both batches of chicken were transported from the processing plant, under refrigeration conditions (5 C), to a commercial irradiation facility. The batch of chicken breasts were subdivided; one third of the batch were retained as control (unirradiated) sampl

35、es; one third were irradiated at an overall average dose of 2,5 kGy and the remainder irradiated at 5 kGy. The skinless chicken breast fillets were sub-divided into two. Half were retained as controls and the remaining half were irradiated at 2,5 kGy. Samples were irradiated using a Cobalt 60 source

36、. Amber perspex dosimeters 1)were used to estimate the dose received by measuring spectrometrically a change in absorbance at 530 nm. All chicken pieces were randomly coded and packaged in insulated containers under chill conditions. Samples were then delivered by overnight carrier to arrive at part

37、icipating laboratories the following morning. Participants were instructed to commence the analysis immediately upon arrival of the samples. Each participant received 10 samples for analysis comprising control samples of chicken breasts with and without skin; chicken breasts with skin irradiated at

38、2,5 kGy and 5 kGy and skinless breasts irradiated at 2,5 kGy. All samples were dispatched randomly as blind pairs. Participants were asked to examine each sample only once and report the results obtained from the LAL test and enumeration of GNB. Using the evaluation criteria detailed in Clause 5, 10

39、0 % of all unirradiated samples, 97 % of chicken with skin irradiated at 2,5 kGy, 82 % of those irradiated at 5 kGy and 88 % of the skinless fillets irradiated at 2,5 kGy were correctly identified. All other samples were reported as inconclusive due to the very low EU titres obtained. 1) Amber persp
