04/08/23 Gandhi 11

Various soy based foods like full fat soy flour, medium fat soy flour, soy milk, soy paneer(tofu), soy bakery products ,soy nuts were developed besides the protein isolates which find place in food formulations/pharmaceutical applications.

These foods are to be produced with utmost safety.

04/08/23 Gandhi 12

The availability of safe food improves the health of people and is a basic human right.

Safe food contributes to health and productivity and provides an effective platform for development and poverty alleviation.

04/08/23 Gandhi 13

The poor are the most susceptible to ill health.

Trends in global food production, processing, distribution and preparation present new challenges to food safety.

04/08/23 Gandhi 14

Food safety must be addressed along the entire food chain by measures based on sound scientific information at both national and international levels.

Food safety is an essential public health issue.

04/08/23 Gandhi 15

Food safety programs are increasingly focusing on a farm- to –table approach as an effective means of reducing food borne hazards.

This holistic approach to the control of food related risks involves consideration of every step in the chain.

04/08/23 Gandhi 16

Now with the introduction of food quality and safety systems, HACCP has become synonymous with food safety.

HACCP is a tool for process control to overcome the microbial hazards.

The ultimate goal is improvement of public health.

04/08/23 Gandhi 17

It is a world wide recognized systematic and preventive approach that addresses biological, chemical and physical hazards through anticipation and prevention rather than through end-product inspection and testing and thereby reducing the food borne illness.

04/08/23 Gandhi 18

Prior to application of HACCP the production of soy based should be according to Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene, the appropriate Codex Codes of practice and appropriate food safety legislation.

04/08/23 Gandhi 19

Good Agricultural PracticesPrimary productionEnvironmental hygiene: Should not be carried out on in

areas where the presence of potentially harmful substances would lead to an un acceptable level of such substances.

04/08/23 Gandhi 20

Hygiene production of food sources:Producers should as far as

practicable implement measures to Control contamination from air, soil,

water, feed stuffs, fertilizers, pesticides, veterinary drugs or any other agent used in primary production.

04/08/23 Gandhi 21

Control plant and animal health. Protect food sources from faecal and

other contamination.Handling, storage and transport: Procedures should be in place to

sort food and food ingredients to segregate material which is evidently unfit for human consumption.

04/08/23 Gandhi 22

Dispose of any rejected material in a hygienic manner.

Protect food and food ingredients from contamination by pests, chemical, physical or microbiological contaminants.

04/08/23 Gandhi 23

Cleaning, maintenance and personnel hygiene at primary production:

Appropriate facilities and procedures should be in place to ensure that

Any necessary cleaning and maintenance is carried out effectively.

An appropriate degree of personnel hygiene is maintained.

04/08/23 Gandhi 24

04/08/23 Gandhi 49

Personnel should always wash their hands

-at the start of food handling activities.

-Immediately after using the toilet.

-After handling raw food or any contaminated material.

04/08/23 Gandhi 50

Personal Behavior: People engaged in food handling

activities should refrain from behavior which could result in contamination of food like smoking, spitting, chewing or eating and sneezing or coughing over unprotected food.

04/08/23 Gandhi 51

Visitors: Visitors to food manufacturing,

processing or handling areas should where appropriate wear protective clothing and adhere to other personal hygiene.

04/08/23 Gandhi 52

Transportation Method of transportation should be

such that measures are taken to prevent any contamination or deterioration of the product.

Controlled environments like chilled, frozen or stored under specific humidity levels.

04/08/23 Gandhi 53

Containers need to be maintained in good condition and be easy to clean.

Designed specifically for food use only.

04/08/23 Gandhi 54

Training All food handlers should be trained

in personal hygiene, and should be supervised by the trained supervisors.

04/08/23 Gandhi 55

Product information and consumer awareness:

The product should be accompanied by adequate information.

All batches should be identified by a batch or lot number to allow trace ability of the commodity if required.

04/08/23 Gandhi 56

Management commitment is necessary for implementation of an effective HACCP system.

04/08/23 Gandhi 57

No relevant published data is available on the usage of HACCP in the production of soy-based foods globally too.

04/08/23 Gandhi 58

Hence efforts were made to draft the HACCP procedures for the production of different soy based foods.

04/08/23 Gandhi 59

Food safety in today’s’ world is paramount.

HACCP programmes go a long way to ensuring this food safety.

We rely on food to nourish and sustain us.

We want food that is appealing and pleasurable to eat.

04/08/23 Gandhi 60

We need food that will not cause us injury or illness or severe cases cause death.

There are members of our community- the young, the not so young, the immunocompromised and those who are susceptible to allergies and intolerances that rely on us in the food industry to supply them with safe food.

04/08/23 Gandhi 61

May our efforts be not in vain as we meet this responsibility each day?

04/08/23 Gandhi 62

PRINCIPLES OF THE HACCP SYSTEM

PRINCIPLE 1

Conduct a hazard analysis.

PRINCIPLE 2

Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs).

PRINCIPLE 3

Establish critical limit(s).

04/08/23 Gandhi 63

PRINCIPLES OF THE HACCP SYSTEM

PRINCIPLE 4

Establish a system to monitor control of the CCP.

PRINCIPLE 5

Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring indicates that a particular CCP is not under control.

04/08/23 Gandhi 64

PRINCIPLE 6

Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively.

PRINCIPLE 7

Establish documentation concerning all procedures and records appropriate to these principles and their application.

                                       

      

04/08/23 Gandhi 65

APPLICATION

1. Assemble HACCP team The food operation should assure

that the appropriate product specific knowledge and expertise is available for the development of an effective HACCP plan.

04/08/23 Gandhi 66

Optimally, this may be accomplished by assembling a multidisciplinary team. Where such expertise is not available on site, expert advice should be obtained from other sources.

04/08/23 Gandhi 67

The scope of the HACCP plan should be identified. The scope should describe which segment of the food chain is involved and the general classes of hazards to be addressed (e.g. does it cover all classes of hazards or only selected classes).

04/08/23 Gandhi 68

2. Describe product A full description of the product should be

drawn up, including relevant safety information such as: composition, physical/chemical structure (including Aw, pH, etc.), microcidal/static treatments (heat-treatment, freezing, brining, smoking, etc.), packaging, durability and storage conditions and method of distribution.

04/08/23 Gandhi 69

3. Identify intended use

The intended use should be based on the expected uses of the product by the end user or consumer. In specific cases, vulnerable groups of the population, e.g. institutional feeding, may have to be considered.

04/08/23 Gandhi 70

4. Construct flow diagram The HACCP team should construct

the flow diagram. The flow diagram should cover all steps in the operation. When applying HACCP to a given operation, consideration should be given to steps preceding and following the specified operation.

04/08/23 Gandhi 71

5. On-site confirmation of flow diagram

The HACCP team should confirm the processing operation against the flow diagram during all stages and hours of operation and amend the flow diagram where appropriate.

04/08/23 Gandhi 72

6. List all potential hazards associated with each step, conduct a hazard analysis, and consider any measures to control identified hazards.

The HACCP team should list all of the hazards that may be reasonably expected to occur at each step from primary production, processing, manufacture, and distribution until the point of consumption.

04/08/23 Gandhi 73

The HACCP team should next conduct a hazard analysis to identify for the HACCP plan, which hazards are of such a nature that their elimination or reduction to acceptable levels is essential to the production of a safe food.

04/08/23 Gandhi 74

7. Determine Critical Control Points There may be more than one CCP at

which control is applied to address the same hazard. The determination of a CCP in the HACCP system can be facilitated by the application of a decision tree which indicates a logic reasoning approach.

04/08/23 Gandhi 75

Application of a decision tree should be flexible, given whether the operation is for production, slaughter, processing, storage, distribution or other. It should be used for guidance when determining CCPs.

04/08/23 Gandhi 76

8. Establish critical limits for each CCP .

Critical limits must be specified and validated if possible for each Critical Control Point. In some cases more than one critical limit will be elaborated at a particular step.

04/08/23 Gandhi 77

Criteria often used include measurements of temperature, time, moisture level, pH, Aw, available

chlorine, and sensory parameters such as visual appearance and texture.

04/08/23 Gandhi 78

9. Establish a monitoring system for each CCP.

Monitoring is the scheduled measurement or observation of a CCP relative to its critical limits.

The monitoring procedures must be able to detect loss of control at the CCP.

04/08/23 Gandhi 79

Further, monitoring should ideally provide this information in time to make adjustments to ensure control of the process to prevent violating the critical limits.

Where possible, process adjustments should be made when monitoring results indicate a trend towards loss of control at a CCP.

04/08/23 Gandhi 80

10. Establish corrective actions . Specific corrective actions must be

developed for each CCP in the HACCP system in order to deal with deviations when they occur.

04/08/23 Gandhi 81

The actions must ensure that the CCP has been brought under control. Actions taken must also include proper disposition of the affected product.

Deviation and product disposition procedures must be documented in the HACCP record keeping.

04/08/23 Gandhi 82

11. Establish verification procedures . Verification and auditing methods,

procedures and tests, including random sampling and analysis, can be used to determine if the HACCP system is working correctly.

The frequency of verification should be sufficient to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively.

04/08/23 Gandhi 83

12. Establish Documentation and Record Keeping .

Efficient and accurate record keeping is essential to the application of a HACCP system.

HACCP procedures should be documented.

Documentation and record keeping should be appropriate to the nature and size of the operation.

04/08/23 Gandhi 84

TRAINING

Training of personnel in industry, government and academia in HACCP principles and applications, and increasing awareness of consumers are essential elements for the effective implementation of HACCP.

04/08/23 Gandhi 85

As an aid in developing specific training to support a HACCP plan, working instructions and procedures should be developed which define the tasks of the operating personnel to be stationed at each Critical Control Point.

Cooperation between primary producer, industry, trade groups, consumer organizations, and responsible authorities are of vital importance .

Implementation of HACCP

Receiving soybeans (CCP-1): Soybeans must come from approved dealers. At the time of its receipt it must be accompanied with its complete quality certificate and microbiological assessment reports.

04/08/23 Gandhi 105

The certificates should indicate the moisture content of the beans, degree of foreign materials and the microorganisms present (number of colonies), insects etc as compared to the upper approved standards of BIS/ISO.

04/08/23 Gandhi 106

At the time of receipt, visual control of soybeans must be carried out to find out the contaminants if any. Further more the proximate composition of the beans must be established with reference to its macro and micronutrients. Defective beans mean that the soy flour will be most likely unsafe for the consumption.

04/08/23 Gandhi 107

Storage of soybeans in silos (CCP-4): The temperature (<20oC) and the relative humidity (<65%) during the storage must be low. They should be recorded at regular intervals. If any deviation from the safer limits, must be immediately rectified. When soybean is stored for a long period, microbiological analysis should be carried out.

04/08/23 Gandhi 108

Receiving secondary materials (greasing, detergents, insecticides, pesticides and sacs) (CCP-2): These materials must be procured from the approved suppliers with quality certificates. These materials must be suitable for using them with food items.

04/08/23 Gandhi 109

No contamination must come from the packaging materials. If these materials do not comply with the standard specifications, must be returned to the suppliers and a new order should be placed with other suppliers.

04/08/23 Gandhi 110

Storage of secondary materials (CCP-3): The temperature and relative humidity during storage must be below 20oC and 65% respectively. The place should be air-conditioned.

04/08/23 Gandhi 111

The temperature and RH should be continuously recorded and corrective actions must be undertaken whenever any deviation occurs.

04/08/23 Gandhi 112

Application of anti insect methods (CCP-5): Any chemicals used during storage along with the soybeans should comply with the safety legislations. The quantity should be with in the prescribed concentrations.

04/08/23 Gandhi 113

Cleaning & grading of soybeans (CCP-6): All the physical contaminants should be removed. They should be graded. Only sound soybeans should be taken for processing.

04/08/23 Gandhi 114

Removal of stones: The stones, metals and dust must be removed from the soybeans so that the final product will comply the quality standards as prescribed by BIS/ISO.

Weighing: The soybeans are weighed and passed through a magnetic system so that the magnetic materials are removed.

04/08/23 Gandhi 115

De hulling (CCP-7)Inefficient de hulling may cause the contamination of the product with the microorganisms. Less than 0.1% hulls are allowed. Hence an efficient dehulling should be used in order to prevent the contamination with the microorganisms.

04/08/23 Gandhi 116

Blanching/cooking (CCP 8)

In adequate heat treatment results in the poor quality of the product. Cook the splits as specified in the scheduled process (under pressure/open vessel boiling) to minimize the anti nutritional factors. Check the quality of splits for urease test.

 

04/08/23 Gandhi 117

Drying (Sun/mechanical)(CCP 9)

Improper drying will result in the poor quality product. Hence proper drying methods are to be adopted for reducing the moisture content to the safe level( 8-10%). 

04/08/23 Gandhi 118

Milling (CCP-10): The grinding is done in a burr/hammer mill. The clearance between the burrs should be adjusted so that the flour must be having particle size <140 micrometers. Similarly with the hammer mill, the sieve below the grinding system must allow flour particles less than 140 micrometers.

04/08/23 Gandhi 119

The sieves should be of SS. The temperature during grinding should not rise too much, which affects the quality of the flourNormally a temperature rise of less than 5oC is desirable. So arrangements must be made to maintain the temperature while grinding.

04/08/23 Gandhi 120

Packaging (CCP-11): During packaging the flour can possibly be contaminated with the microorganisms causing quality deterioration. Hermetic sealing and upright position of the packaging material can avoid this deterioration.

04/08/23 Gandhi 121

There should not be any migration of the low molecular weight substances from the packages. Further more contamination can take place from foreign materials like insects and rodents that accidentally happen to be packed with the flour. The personnel should comply with the GMPs.

04/08/23 Gandhi 122

Storage of full fat flour (CCP-12): Both the temperature and relative humidity must be below 20oC and 65% respectively. They should be recorded and corrective actions must be taken when deviating. When the flour is stored for a long period, microbiological analysis is required.

04/08/23 Gandhi 123

Metal detector (CCP-13): The packed product passes through a metal detector. The product is then checked for its weight and placed in boxes (secondary packaging). The boxes are placed on the pallets and the packets are wrapped with film.

Conclusion/Output:HACCP procedures were developed for making soy based foods (Full Fat Soy flour,Medium Fat Soy Flour,Soy Milk, Soy Paneer, Soy Bakery Products, Soy Nuts, Soy Sprouts and Soy Protein Isolates) with utmost quality and safe for use.

A proactive approach was suggested to controlling the hazards through out the supply chain of soy based foods production.

04/08/23 Gandhi 133

More flexibility in addressing identified hazards is given in the proposed HACCP program, which permits the soy food processors to select the appropriate and economical methods of control.

Quality control managers are responsible for the design and maintenance of the suggested protocols with government agencies auditing compliance.

Summary Table:

Develop HACCP procedures for the production of different soy based foods- Accomplished.

Test the developed procedures with a few soy-based foods such as full fat soy flour, soy milk, soy paneer (tofu), soy nuts and soy sprouts.-Evaluated.

Document the developed procedures and final report writing- Documented.
