Cleaning and sanitizing are important procedures for any food safety program. Proper cleaning removes food, soil and other substances using the appropriate cleaning agent. Sanitizing reduces harmful microorganisms and is most effective when surfaces have first been properly cleaned. There are various types of cleaners and methods for sanitizing, including heat, chemicals, and ensuring correct concentrations, temperatures and contact times are followed. Improperly cleaned and sanitized surfaces can allow for transfer of microorganisms between foods.

____1. This is a type of serving spoon that is widely used for
soup, stew or other liquid foods. ____2. Used primarily to measure the volume of liquid or powder-form cooking ingredients. ____3. It is used to blend ingredients smoothly. ____4. This is used for mashing cooked potatoes. ____5. It is used to scrape vegetables and peel fruits. Cleaning and sanitizing procedures must be part of the standard operating procedures that make up your food safety program. Improperly cleaned and sanitized surfaces allow harmful microorganisms to be transferred from one food to other foods. Cleaning is done with a cleaning agent that removes food, soil, or other substances. The right cleaning agent must be selected because not all cleaning agents can be used on food-contact surfaces. The importance of proper cleaning can be appreciated when you realize that contaminated equipment is another major cause of foodborne disease outbreaks. 1. Abrasive cleaners- these cleaners are used to remove heavy accumulations of soil that are difficult to remove with detergents. 2. Acid cleaners -- Use periodically on mineral deposits and other soils that detergents cannot remove. These cleaners are often used to remove scale in ware washing machines and steam tables. 3. Soaps and Detergents- these cleaning agents help water to emulsify fats and to suspend solid soil particles. They can penetrate soil quickly and soften it. 4. Solvent cleaners - Use periodically on surfaces where grease has burned on. Solvent cleaners are often called degreasers. The cleaning process needs to provide flexibility to achieve acceptable result for a wide range of different cleaning applications to maximize the effectiveness pf cleaning. 1. Cleaning- to remove all the organic materials. 2. Washing- it is the most time consuming of the entire process. 3. Rinsing- this is also important to remove most of the suspended soil and bacteria. 4. Sanitizing- this is critical step in cleaning process that requires knowledge in science. Sanitization will occur when certain specific chemical concentrations, temperature and time requirements and water condition are satisfied. Sanitizing is done using heat, radiation, or chemicals. Heat and chemicals are commonly used as a method for sanitizing in a restaurant; radiation rarely is. The item to be sanitized must first be washed properly before it can be properly sanitized. Some chemical sanitizers, such as chlorine and iodine, react with food and soil and so will be less effective on a surface that has not been properly cleaned. 1. Heat. There are three methods of using heat to sanitize surfaces - steam, hot water, and hot air. Hot water is the most common method used in restaurants 2. Chemicals. Chemicals that are approved sanitizers are chlorine, iodine, and quaternary ammonium. Different factors influence the effectiveness of chemical sanitizers. The three factors that must be considered are: • Concentration -- The presence of too little sanitizer will result in an inadequate reduction of harmful microorganisms. Too much can be toxic. • Temperature -- Generally chemical sanitizers work best in water that is between 55oF(13oC) and 120oF (49oC). • Contact time -- In order for the sanitizer to kill harmful microorganisms, the cleaned item must be in contact with the sanitizer (either heat or approved chemical) for the recommended length of time.
