What is HACCP Certification?

Food-borne diseases are more frequent than ever. The need for improved diagnostics and updated medicine is also increasing. As the old saying suggests, prevention is always better than cure. We have to have hazard prevention methods. HACCP is a globally accepted system for reducing the risk of food safety hazards. It stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. Any business firm who is manufacturing, processing or handling food products can adopt HACCP for hazard prevention. The main aim of HACCP is to spread awareness about frequently spreading food-borne illnesses.

HACCP training can be availed from authorized institutions across the world. The function of HACCP is to build a system of quality and constant improvement in an organization. It evaluates the various processes in a company in order to identify the hazards. Since the hazard can be chemical, biological and physical, every entry, exit and process point of company operations have to be analyzed. Once a hazard is identified, it is evaluated and critical control points are established. Then certain monitoring procedures are established that takes place at the critical control points. These procedures include the measurement of impact and calculation of a timeframe within which necessary steps to prevent the hazard should be introduced. Subsequently, corrective actions are introduced. The critical limits are scrutinized for completion. Record of each and every process will be prepared and kept for future reference.

There are numerous training centers that provide HACCP training. But in HACCP practical training is as important as theoretical training. Therefore it’s always best to rely on biotech Kerala companies for HACCP training. Some of the best biotech companies in Kerala is providing HACCP training. One of them is UniBiosys Biotech Research Labs. Here HACCP training is provided with a full-fledged biotech lab and research facility with classes from industry-expert staff.

Filamentous fungi are very important for the production of secondary metabolites in organisms. They are significantly low molecular weight molecules that often displays generic bioactive properties. Calbistrin A is a secondary metabolite with a very interesting anatomy and is recently found to have bioactivity against leukemia cells. Its basic structures is two polyketides linked by an ester bond: a bicyclic decalin consisting of polyketide with physical resemblances to lovastatin, and a linear 12 carbon dioic acid structure. Calbistrin A is found to be naturally occurring from several uniseriate black Aspergilli, Aspergillus versicolor-related species, and Penicillia. Penicillium decumbens is able to produce calbistrin A and B as well as several purported intermediates of the calbistrin pathway, such as decumbenone A-B and versiol.

A recent genomic study focused on the polyketide synthase (PKS) discovered full genome sequence calbistrin producing fungal species, P. decumbens, A. aculeatus and A. versicolor, led to the discovery of a novel, putative 13-membered calbistrin producing gene cluster (calA to calM). Introduction of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology in P. decumbens resulted in the deletion of genes encoding a polyketide synthase (calA), a major facilitator pump (calB) and a binuclear zinc cluster transcription factor (calC). Research on excreted metabolites in the?calB (MFC-pump) strain identified that the encoded pump was necessary for efficient export of calbistrin A and B
