Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chemiluminescent method of monitoring of products after heat treatment. More particularly, the invention concerns a rapid, sensitive and accurate method to examine products which are heat processed to reduce or eliminate microbiological or biological activity, so as to validate any heat treatment, and/or processing of the product and to verify that the product has been subjected to an adequate temperature within the time of the heat treatment process.
  • the invention concerns a chemiluminescent method for monitoring or validating the processing of the heat- treatable product, by monitoring the concentration of a receptor or enzyme in the product by chemiluminescent means.
  • the method comprises obtaining a sample of the heat-treated product directly from the product itself or from a surface contaminated with the product; and admixing this sample, typically and optionally, with a buffer-type solution such as saline buffer solution of pH 6-10 or water.
  • the method includes combining the sample, either before or after incubation, with a room temperature (20- 25°C) , stable, chemiluminescent compound, usually in the presence of one or more chemiluminescent enhancers, which chemiluminescent compound is susceptible to the enzyme in the sample, which triggers the decomposition of the chemiluminescent compound to provide for chemiluminescence from the admixed sample and compound.
  • the enzyme present in the compound would comprise phosphatase or lactoperoxidase, and in one preferred embodiment, the chemiluminescent compound would comprise a 1, 2-dioxetane compound, with an enhancer to render the chemiluminescent test method more sensitive.
  • the test method includes incubating the sample with the chemiluminescent compound and/or enhancer for a selected incubation time period and incubation temperature, typically, for example, about 1-15 minutes and for example at 25-65°C, or more typically 1 to about 3 minutes at 30-45°C, to provide for the enzymatically cleavable labile substituent of the chemiluminescent compounds to be cleaved.
  • the chemiluminescent compound may be added to the sample before or after the incubation period.
  • the method also includes, preferentially, bringing the incubation to the selected incubation time period and employing a stopper solution, typically a buffer solution having a pH, for example, of about 3-12.
  • a stopper solution typically a buffer solution having a pH, for example, of about 3-12.
  • the method then includes observing and counting the chemiluminescent light emission over time (seconds/minutes) for an indication of the temperature and time profile of the sample that was subjected to heat processing.
  • the invention relates to a method of monitoring of pharmaceutical, clinical, and food products, for instance and including dairy products such as milk, cheese and meat, or nonbiological products, to monitor the heat- treating and to validate the heat treatment of the heat- treatable product or a sample taken therefrom.
  • the present invention provides a rapid and sensitive chemiluminescent method to examine products and heat processes to reduce or eliminate microbiological or biological activity, and particularly to prolong the shelf-life of a biological product.
  • the present chemiluminescent methods have been demonstrated to be over 100 times more sensitive than current prior art methods and allow monitoring over a 12 log microbial reduction in pasteurization, ultrapasteurization and ultra short time, high temperature processes (UHT) of treating products.
  • the present methods avoid many of the limitations of prior art test processes by incorporating chemiluminescent compounds with or without chemiluminescent enhancers to make the test more sensitive, and can detect enzymes, for example acid phosphatase (AP) or other enzymes or receptors, down to about 0.001U of AP in about 3 minutes.
  • AP acid phosphatase
  • lactoperoxidase has been suggested for monitoring UHT, but, due to sensitivity, only ultrapasteurization can be monitored, while the chemiluminescent test method enhances the sensitivity over 50 times and makes it possible to monitor UHT.
  • Traditional color assay sensitivity is not adequate, however, using the chemiluminescent test method of the invention, up to 12 log reduction of bacteria can be guaranteed.
  • the chemiluminescent test method may be used for the monitoring of the pasteurization of serums, and, for example, acid phosphatase could be demonstrated as a marker for proper pasteurization, with 12 log reductions of various microorganisms.
  • the chemiluminescent test method may also be profitably employed in pasteurization and sterilization of liposomes, and liposome containing products, including a receptor antibody or enzyme which has the chemiluminescent activity heat treatment and can thus be monitored in short time periods such as seconds or minutes. More particularly, heat processed food products, such as meats, vegetables and fruit (canned or juices) , can be monitored by monitoring reduction and peroxidase activity, for instance, for example, horseradish peroxidase, glucoronidase phosphatase (for example potato acid phosphatase) or epirase, at very low levels, down to IO "15 mols or lower.
  • the chemiluminescent method enhances greatly the sensitivity and provides for rapid, accurate real time monitoring of bacterial reduction in the heat- treated sample being tested.
  • the chemiluminescent test method is carried out by obtaining a sample of the product to be tested, either directly from the surface or interior of the product, or from any surface contaminated by the product, and typically in one case may be employed by using a swab on a stick, with the swab dry or premoistened with water or a sterilizable saline or buffer solution, to retain the sample of the product.
  • the sample thus obtained is admixed, either before or after the incubation step with a chemiluminescent compound which is susceptible to the enzyme or receptor present in the sample, or inherently or integrally which is added to the sample as an enhancer.
  • the chemiluminescent compound may be selected through a wide variety of compounds, but more particularly, for example, may be a 1,2-dioxetane compound by Tropix, Inc. of Bedford, Massachusetts. Generally, chemiluminescent compounds are also employed in combination with a sufficient amount of enhancers to provide for increased amplification of sensitivity in connection with the enzymatic cleavage, which enhancers are usually selected based upon the particular enzyme, such as phosphatase, which is to be cleaved.
  • the sample which contains a receptor or more particularly a cleavable enzyme, which is either integral with the sample or which is added, for example, may be phosphatase.
  • Chemiluminescent compounds and the enhancers may be either added before or after incubation; however, incubation is carried out with the sample for a selected time period and temperature, usually with a chemiluminescent compound present. Incubation is terminated employing a stopper solution, and immediately thereafter, the sample, typically in a translucent or transparent glass or container, is placed within a luminometer such as portable luminometer well, and the luminescence of the sample, in relative light units (RLU) are determined relative to time in order to provide for a determination of the amount of receptor or enzyme remaining in the heat-treated sample.
  • RLU relative light units
  • the chemiluminescent test method thus permits the determination as to whether the treated product was subject to a proper heat-treating process, for example, as required by the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations which specifies cooking temperatures in connection with food products, with the acid phosphatase as an indicator for the cooking time and temperature.
