Sterilization

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Sterilization   results in complete killing or remocal of all organisims including viruses  
🗑
Disinfection   reduces the number of microoranisms in/on a product to sufficiently low levels that infection will not occur  
🗑
cidal   a suffix that denotes killing  
🗑
static   a suffix that denotes inhibition of growth  
🗑
What are the most difficult organisms to kill?   Spor forming cateria of the Generea Bacillus and Clostridium  
🗑
Dry Heat   170 C 2-3 hours. Steralizes, done in dry air oven, combusts organisms to CO2 and water  
🗑
Moist Heat   121 C 12-20 minutes, done in pressure cooker, autoclave, or retort, denatures proteins  
🗑
Pasteurization   Kills certain heat sensitive organisms in liquids. Two dif methods, Holding Method 62C for 30 minutes and High Temp short time 72C 15 seconds  
🗑
Ultra High temperature   Liquid in instrument is heated to 140C and held for 5 seconds then quickly cooled.  
🗑
Freezing   Organisms in frozen products cant grow but may still be alive  
🗑
Filtration   Filters have small pores that allow passage of liquids and air but not microorganisms.  
🗑
UV Light   UV posses energy that alters DNA in an organism resulting in death. Used to kill microorganisms in hospital laboratories and in some liquids  
🗑
ionizain Radiation   gamma rays, affects DNA, can penetrate, used to sterilize hospital and lab equipment, foods, spices.  
🗑
Osmosis   removal of water using high concentrations of salt or sugar  
🗑
lyophilization   freeze drying, preserving microorganims and viruses  
🗑
Fumigation   uses toxic gas to kill microorganisms, useful for articles in which the gas can permeate  
🗑
Whats the difference between disinfectants and antiseptcs?   Disifectants=inanimate objectsAntiseptice=skin and live tissues  
🗑
What is the action of disinfectants and antiseptics?   They denature or alter proteins, injure nucleic acids of organisms, or alter or dirupt cell membrane.  
🗑
Phenolics   carbolic acic, injure cell membranes and denature proteins  
🗑
Halogens   chlorine or iodine, they inactivate enzymes  
🗑
Alcohols   injure membranes and denature proteins  
🗑
Heavy Metals   metal inactivate enzymes  
🗑
Surface Active agents   detergents, physical removal of microorganisms  
🗑
Organic Acids   sorbic and benzoic acids, commonly added to foods as preservatives to prevent mold growth  
🗑
Aldehydes   they denature and link proteins together in cells  
🗑
Oxidizing agents   hydrogen peroxide, oxidize and inactivate enzymes and microorganisms.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
