What is Management of Biofilm Risk about?

Biofilms can cause serious hygienic problems and food spoilage since biofilms are more resistant to external forces than free swimming cells and they are more difficult to eradicate from industrial processes by biocides or cleaning agents. • Detection and characterization of biofilm in the food industry is still challenging especially due to difficulties in sampling. • Good hygienic design of process equipment has a significant impact on reducing the risks of contamination of food during production. • Cleaning procedures in food industries should be optimized to be economic, efficient, safe and environment friendly. ## Glossary Biofilm surface attached structured matrix-enclosed microbial communities Biofouling biofilm formation including organic matter on equipment surface Cleanroom a room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled, and which is constructed and used in a manner to minimize the introduction, generation, and retention of particles inside the room, and in which other relevant parameters e.g., temperature, humidity, and pressure, are controlled as necessary Contact agar method detection method for microbes on surfaces based on contact sampling with
