Evaluating Foreign Materials in Food Products Using the Wildman Method
LABORATORY REPORT DETAIL
TITLE: Foreign Materials in Food products
DATE: September 10, 2013 DATE OF SUBMISSION: September 22nd, 2013
SUBJECT: Processing Operations
Objective:
To carry out the evaluation of the foreign materials in given vegetable sample i.e. Broccoli using Wildman method for evaluating insects as well as aphids and thrip.
Abstract:
The lab objectives include determination of the heavy filth and light filth from the frozen broccoli. Whenever the food product is consumed, the food product is expected to be free of foreign materials by the consumer. Insects and worms in the vegetables like broccoli don’t bring out a serious health issue. Still some sensitive individuals having allergies might come up with some health issues such as nausea and vomiting. To determine the presence of foreign materials in the food products is necessary by which the steps to control the contamination of the food products can be carried out. There are two methods employed for determining the foreign materials. They are Wildman method and Rapid jar method. Wildman method is commonly used. In this lab the foreign material such as insects and animal filth such as hairs, excreta, feather etc. are determined from the frozen broccoli sample. The method prepared by Wildman is practised by the food companies all over the world and it is approved by USFDA and CFIA as well. The CFIA has strict regulations against the foreign materials over the food products.
Introduction:
Broccoli is a great source of vitamin C and dietary fibre. But it is also prone to food contamination. Foreign materials such as insects, rodent hairs, excreta, hairs, aphid, and thrip. In this lab the Wildman method is carried out for the light filth and heavy filth on the processed broccoli. The broccoli will be tested according to the Wildman procedure in the manual. Upon completion of the test the determination of the insects and aphids and
