SUMMARY:The Future of Dairy Processing: Exploring the Cost-Effectiveness of Next-Generation Reverse Osmosis Sanitary Membranes
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAdvances in milk processing and changing customer preferences are driving growth in the dairy market. Today\, dairy processors face challenges in achieving energy savings while also improving yields without compromising performance. Membrane filtration offers a versatile solution\, and advanced technology may be necessary depending on the desired outcome. Next-generation Reverse Osmosis (RO) elements\, designed with enhanced membrane chemistry and a larger active surface area\, can help produce high-quality dairy products that meet customer expectations for both productivity and nutritional value while maximizing energy savings. These membranes can efficiently remove water from dairy streams\, reducing product volume and leading to savings in transportation and storage costs\, as well as lowering evaporator loads and energy expenses for powdered product production.

SUMMARY:The Do's and Don'ts of Preparing for a Recall
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAbout this event \n\n\nFood recalls more than doubled from 2023 to 2024.

SUMMARY:How to Design and Conduct Challenge Studies for Safer Products and Longer Shelf Life
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nDefining the objective of a challenge study may be less straightforward than it may appear initially. The two types of challenge studies are pathogen growth inhibition and pathogen inactivation. It is possible that your product may need both studies conducted. The choice of target pathogen(s)\, inoculation method\, inoculation level\, temperature(s) tested\, and controls will vary depending on the study objective(s). Can you find “safe harbors” in regulations\, validated predictive models\, or published literature that sufficiently match your product to substitute for a challenge study\, or will you be able to reduce the number of experiments needed for validation? Our expert speakers from the Food Research Institute (FRI) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison will answer these questions and more\, in this webinar discussing the “why” and “how” of conducting challenge studies to ensure safer food products and longer shelf life.
