Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for differentiating residues by type on hard surfaces.
- the invention further relates to the use of the method according to the invention for residue control in the food, pharmaceutical or cosmetics industry and in food processing companies.
- the invention also relates to bodies for the simultaneous detection of at least two different types of residues, which are equipped with one or more adsorption materials suitable for absorbing residues.
- Detergents of different compositions are used to remove this contamination.
- the selection of a suitable cleaning agent is usually based on the type of dirt to be removed. Knowing the type of soiling, the cleaning agent can be selected accordingly.
- detergent components make a difference in cleaning performance compared to protein, fat and carbohydrates. After a cleaning cycle, small residues of dirt may remain, which are hardly noticeable visually, but pose a microbiological risk.
- control of hygiene by bacteriological methods can also be falsified by disinfection, which does not rule out the possibility of organic contaminants accumulating, which in the end are the cause of the growth of resistant microorganisms. Furthermore, the selective removal of the samples does not guarantee that entire devices and larger surfaces can be checked for their hygiene standards.
- PCT publication WO 90/14591 describes a method for cleaning and at the same time checking the cleaning success and hygiene by applying a solution of a mixture of a cleaning agent and a dye or a dye combination to surfaces to be cleaned.
- the organic contamination that remains on the surface after cleaning becomes visible through coloring.
- EP-A-0 347494 describes a method for the detection of impurities on an object by treating it with a dye solution and then reacting it with a developer solution. This also makes it possible to localize the contaminants, but not to differentiate them according to their type.
- the coloring of food residues by indicators is known from odontology.
- the indicators for the visualization of dental plaque are used here. Here too it is only possible to state that there are food residues on the teeth.
- the granted European patent EP 715 713 B1 discloses a method which makes it possible, after a cleaning cycle, to determine what type of organic residues are on the surface, in order to be able to use specific cleaners for a possibly necessary subsequent cleaning or to use cleaners suitable for the future or to be able to use combinations of cleaners and thus avoid subsequent cleaning.
- EP 715 713 B1 teaches how the type of organic residues on the surface can be determined even before the actual cleaning, so that a suitable detergent composition can be used immediately.
- EP 715 713 B1 attempts to meet this need by disclosing a method for differentiating organic food residues, in which by applying a solution containing a combination of at least two dyes, at least one of which has a hydrophilic character and at least one has a hydrophobic character , on the hard surface and subsequent visual determination, the type of residue is recognizable by its specific coloring.
- the Ver- Driving should be easy to carry out and allow the impurity to be differentiated according to fat, protein or carbohydrate without the determination of one type of residue being impaired by the determination of the other types of residue.
- the process should also be feasible in such a way that the formation of poorly soluble residues on the hard surface is avoided as far as possible.
- a method for the simultaneous detection of at least two different types of residues on hard surfaces in which a body which is equipped with one or more adsorption materials suitable for absorbing residues is brought into contact with the surface to be examined, wherein a) the adsorbent material (s) contain chemical substances that are able to undergo a visually recognizable color reaction with different residues, which allows a qualitative assignment to a certain type of residue, preferably the chemical substance by chemical reaction or physical interaction on the or the residue carriers are bound, or b) chemical substances are applied to the adsorption material or residues after the residue absorption, which are capable of a visually recognizable color reaction with different residues to enter into, which allows a qualitative assignment to a certain type of residue, the chemical substances being applied to the adsorption material (s) manually or preferably automatically with a simple device.
- organic residues selected from fats, proteins and / or carbohydrates are recorded simultaneously as the types of residues. It is further preferred that the color reaction is accelerated by increasing the temperature.
- the chemical substances which undergo a color reaction are preferably selected from ninhydrin, comassie blue, folin reagent, biuret reagent, a-naphthol, diphenylamine, aniline, iodine, lipase and fluorescent dyes, such as 2 ', 7'-dichlorofluorescein, Erythrosin, Ponceau 4 R, curcumin, ß-carotene, riboflavin and Ceres Blau RR or their mixtures.
- fluorescent dyes such as 2 ', 7'-dichlorofluorescein, Erythrosin, Ponceau 4 R, curcumin, ß-carotene, riboflavin and Ceres Blau RR or their mixtures.
- the adsorbing material or materials present in accordance with the method according to the invention preferably consist of solid polymeric material with absorbency, it being particularly preferred that the polymeric material is selected from wool, silk, polyacrylic, viscose, polyamide, polyacetate, lyocell.
- the body according to the method according to the invention is equipped with one or more similar or different adsorption materials in such a way that at least two separate areas of the adsorption material or materials can be visually distinguished.
- a distinction can be made by spatial separation or by other colors or by perforation at the interface or other conceivable demarcation features.
- the method according to the invention is preferably carried out in such a way that the qualitative recording of at least two types of residues side by side is possible.
- the organic residues are preferably fats, proteins and / or carbohydrates, which can be present side by side or individually.
- the user can, without risking the formation of difficult-to-remove color complexes on the surface to be cleaned,
- the method according to the invention also represents a simple method for the qualitative and possibly quantitative statement of the cleaning performance of cleaning agents in the development of a cleaning agent, in that when testing a test soiling (fat / protein / starch) first with the cleaning agent to be examined and then with the Body to be used according to the method of the invention is brought into contact, the body optionally being further treated according to the previous description. Due to the different discoloration due to the individual dirt components, it can be recognized which component can be detached more or less by the cleaning agent. Then more targeted recipe improvements can be made.
- the method according to the invention also makes it possible to make a suitable choice of cleaning agent by detecting the type of soiling before cleaning. After cleaning, the cleaning success can be checked on the one hand and on the other hand a special cleaner suitable for the dirt component that has not been removed can be selected.
- critical points can be defined according to the HACCP principle (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points). At these critical points the cleaning process according to the invention is carried out and appropriate measures are taken depending on the result.
- the residues to be determined can be picked up from the hard surface to be examined in a known manner, in particular, however, by dabbing or wiping the surface to be examined.
- erythrosine Cl 45430; E 127) and Ponceau 4 R (Cl 16255; E 124) and curcumin (Cl 75300; E 100), ⁇ -carotene (Cl 40800; E 160a), Riboflavin (E 101) and Ceres Blau RR used.
- test strip prepared according to the invention with three separately recognizable adsorption areas Z, F and E is briefly immersed together with the adsorption areas in water which is mixed with 0.1% alkylbenzenesulfonic acid (ABS) and 10% ethanol (for preservation and better wetting).
- ABS alkylbenzenesulfonic acid
- ethanol for preservation and better wetting
- test strip is then clamped in a device and the adsorption areas are sprayed with different reagents: area E is with a 2% solution of diphenylamine in 10% phosphoric acid, area F is with a 0.1% solution of dichlorofluorescein in 96% ethanol and Z surface is sprayed with a 0.5% 'strength by weight solution of ninhydrin in 96% ethanol. If protein residues are present, a purple color can be observed in area E. In the next step, the area F is irradiated and evaluated using a UV lamp (366 nm). If there are fat residues, they can be recognized as light yellow spots on a yellow-green background.
- a UV lamp 366 nm
- the UV lamp is then switched off and the test strip is heated using a heating device.
- the test strip is heated to 150 ° C for 5 minutes.
- a gray-violet coloration of area Z indicates residues of carbohydrates. If necessary, the qualitatively observed colorations can also be quantified by measuring the intensity of the color.
