| Abstract | Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection has been implicated in a number of outbreaks of illness linked to the consumption of foods. Handling raw meat contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 in the kitchen could easily contaminate the surface of cutting boards. Thus, levels of cross-contamination of E. coli O157:H7 from ground beef to cutting boards made of different materials and effects of cleaning methods on reducing E. coli O157:H7 were evaluated. Four types of cutting boards (wood, polyethylene, polypropylene, and acrylic) were selected and contaminated with ground beef inoculated with E. coli O157:H7. Levels of cross-contaminated E. coli O157:H7 on boards were then evaluated. For evaluation of cleaning methods, wiping with dry paper towel, wet paper towel, alcohol paper towel, chlorine paper towel were used to clean the contaminated cutting boards. Initial population of pathogens was 6.09 log CFU/g in ground beef. After 1 h contamination of the inoculated ground beef on the cutting boards, no significant difference were observed in levels of cross-contaminated E. coli O157:H7 depending on the cleaning materials except for the normal polyethylene surface. Order of efficacy in removing E. coli O157: H7 was as follows: alcohol > chlorine > wet > dry paper towel. Cleaning with alcohol sanitizer appeared as the most effective cleaning method for reducing E. coli O157: H7 population on kitchen cutting boards. These results could be used to develop kitchen safety guidelines for preventing foodborne outbreaks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
