FSSAI – Merck Opens C-MAT Center for Microbiological Analysis Training
In a recent collaboartion, FSSAI & Merck have joined hands to open C-MAT – Center for Microbiological Analysis Training with an aim to enhance skill developments pertaining to the Food Safety Industry.
Merck has partnered with FSSAI – Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to set up a fully operational microbiological testing lab – the Center for Microbiological Analysis Training (C-MAT) equipped with the latest instruments & technologies. The prime motto behind this initiative is to provide top-notch training in microbiological testing to food safety scientists & officials belonging to govt labs and also to FSSAI certified private lab officials.
Udit Batra, CEO, Life Science and member of the Merck Executive Board said that the awareness about the importance of Food Safety has grown immensely in India owing to the increased amount of food processing and production done lately. This collaboration further aims to provide skills training, implement new technology for food testing to handle quality demands and advance food safety for India, as well as the worldwide market, headded.
FSSAI – Merck C-MAT has the technology to help resolve a number of the challenges faced by food security scientists at pathogen testing and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Audit management. HACCP is an internationally accepted technique for preventing contamination and chemical microbiological across the food supply chain. It explains the dangers, determines control factors, sets limits that are crucial and warranties control measures are confirmed, verified and monitored prior to implementation. The lab is intended to meet with the Biosafety Level-2 standards for testing.
Mr. Pawan Agarwal, CEO, FSSAI stated that the team is thrilled that Merck has taken the initiative to set up a Microbiological testing lab at National Food Laboratory in Ghaziabad. He assures that this center will provide world-class training for food analysts and other technical personnel from laboratories across the nation.
Merck is providing a complete food pathogen testing platform to the food and beverage safety testing market and provides food and beverage safety and quality through lab testing efficiency and regulatory expertise.

Grateful to dr ojieabu for all his help for my life, i was having Herpes Simplex Virus, and we were planing on getting married on early December, when we decided to get ourselves tested first and we found out that my fiancee was HSV 2 Positive, my fiancee was so unhappy, because this was a barrier for us to get married, so i went out to search out a remedy for my partner, and it was so surprising how dr ojieabu has been a blessing and healing to the masses, after reading about his work on a blog i immediately emailed him: (drojieabuherbalhome@gmail. com) and he wrote back to me that my fiancee will be OK and that we we get married this same year, i couldn't believe it, after doing all that is needed to be done, i was surprise that after 2weeks of using his medicine my fiancee went to the doc and was diagnose negative.

Beer production

Brewing  is the production of  beer  by steeping  a  starch  source (commonly cereal  grains, the most popular of which is  barley ) [1]  in water and  fermenting  the resulting sweet liquid with  yeast . It may be done in a  brewery  by a commercial brewer, at home by a  homebrewer , or by a variety of traditional methods such as communally by the  indigenous peoples in Brazil  when making  cauim . [2]  Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence suggests that emerging civilizations including  ancient Egypt [3] and  Mesopotamia  brewed beer. [4]  Since the nineteenth century the  brewing industry  has been part of most western economies. The basic ingredients of beer are water and a  fermentable  starch source such as  malted barley . Most beer is fermented with a  brewer's yeast  and flavoured with  hops . [5]  Less widely used starch sources include  millet ,  sorghum and  cassava . [6]  Secondary sources ( adjuncts ), such as

Mechanism of Action of Hydroxychloroquine as an Antirheumatic Drug

Mechanism of Action of Hydroxychloroquine as an Antirheumatic Drug Abstract The antimalarial agents chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have been used widely for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. These compounds lead to improvement of clinical and laboratory parameters, but their slow onset of action distinguishes them from glucocorticoids and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents. Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine increase pH within intracellular vacuoles and alter processes such as protein degradation by acidic hydrolases in the lysosome, assembly of macromolecules in the endosomes, and posttranslation modification of proteins in the Golgi apparatus. It is proposed that the antirheumatic properties of these compounds results from their interference with "antigen processing" in macrophages and other antigen-presenting cells. Acidic cytoplasmic compartments are required for the antigenic protein to be digested and for the pept

HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL CONTROL POINT (HACCP) SYSTEM AND GUIDELINES FOR ITS APPLICATION. And All HACCP concept And Conclusion

All Concept of HACCP PREAMBLE The first section of this document sets out the principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The second section provides general guidance for the application of the system while recognizing that the details of application may vary depending on the circumstances of the food operation The HACCP system, which is science based and systematic, identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. HACCP is a tool to assess hazards and establish control systems that focus on prevention rather than relying mainly on end-product testing. Any HACCP system is capable of accommodating change, such as advances in equipment design, processing procedures or technological developments. HACCP can be applied throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption and its implementation should be guided by scientific evidence of risks to human health
