US 2026/0036562 A1 · METHOD FOR MEASURING AND EVALUATING MICROBIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND MAINTAINING FOOD SAFETY IN THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF FOOD DERIVED FROM ANIMAL PROTEIN

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for the measurement, implementation, and maintenance of the safety index for microbiological analysis for food safety for producers of food derived from animal protein, in order to analyze the microbiological behaviors and the actual or potential risk levels of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) in each of the necessary productive stages. The system and method allow for optimization, control, and prevention through the real-time determination of the safety index in production processes for the production in-situ of food derived from animal protein.

Dependent claims

A method for measuring and evaluating microbiological parameters and maintaining food safety in a production process for food derived from animal protein, comprising the steps of:

a) receiving a file with tabulated information on microbiological results of one or more stages of the production process;
b) verifying whether the tabulated information received complies with preset variables wherein, if the information does not comply with the preset variables, the information is corrected by means of a correction algorithm to form corrected information;
c) transforming the corrected information by means of a transformation algorithm to form completed information;
d) storing the completed information received in a data storage unit;
e) calculating food safety indexes of the production process from the completed information received using a calculation algorithm;
f) generating a report with the food safety indexes to determine an action in the production process to maintain food safety.

a) receiving a file with tabulated information on the microbiological results of one or more stages of the production process;
b) verifying whether the information received complies with preset variables wherein, if the information does not comply with the preset variables, it is corrected by means of a correction algorithm to form corrected information;
c) transforming the corrected information by means of a transformation algorithm to form completed information;
d) storing the completed information received in a data storage unit;
e) calculating food safety indexes of the production process from the completed information received using a calculation algorithm;
f) generating a report with the food safety indexes to determine an action in the production process and/or its stages to maintain food safety.
