Evaluating Conventional Methods for Thermal and Cemical Inactivation of the Bioterrorism Agent-Ricin- Contaminating Pilot-Scale Milk Pasteurization Equipment

Objective

<p>
<ol>
<li>Determine the residual biological activity remaining for ricincontaminated milk processed using the range of time/temperature conditions recommended for pasteurization of raw milk using pilot-scale (4L) equipment safely within the secure, high-level biocontainment (BSL-3) foodprocessing facility located at NCFST.</li>
<li>Determine the efficacies of chemical inactivation methods developed on a laboratory-scale to decontamination of food processing equipment on a pilot-scale.</li></ol></p>
