Food flavor and aroma are usually so closely related
that it is difficult, if not impossible, to separate
them. There is also an important, inseparable
relationship between cleanliness and food flavor.
Cleanliness, top operating efficiency, and appearance
of equipment contribute considerably to savory,
appetizing foods. Good equipment that is kept
clean, works better and lasts longer.
Most food imparts its own particular aroma and
many foods also absorb existing odors.
Unfortunately, during this absorption, there is no
distinction between GOOD and BAD odors. The
majority of objectionable flavors and odors troubling
food service operations are caused by bacteria
growth. Sourness, rancidity, mustiness, stale or
other OFF flavors are usually the result of germ
activity.
The easiest way to insure full, natural food flavor is
through comprehensive cleanliness. This means
good control of both visible soil (dirt) and invisible
soil (germs). A thorough approach to sanitation will
provide essential cleanliness. It will assure an
attractive appearance of equipment, along with
maximum efficiency and utility. More importantly,
a good sanitation program provides one of the key
elements in the prevention of food-borne illnesses.
A controlled holding environment for prepared foods
is just one of the important factors involved in the
prevention of food-borne illnesses. Temperature
monitoring and control during receiving, storage,
preparation, and the service of foods are of equal
importance.
The most accurate method of measuring safe
temperatures of both hot and cold foods is by
internal product temperature. A quality
thermometer is an effective tool for this purpose,
and should be routinely used on all products that
require holding at a specific temperature.
A comprehensive sanitation program should focus
on the training of staff in basic sanitation
procedures. This includes personal hygiene, proper
handling of raw foods, cooking to a safe internal
product temperature, and the routine monitoring of
internal temperatures from receiving through
service.
Most food-borne illnesses can be prevented through
proper temperature control and a comprehensive
program of sanitation. Both these factors are
important to build quality service as the foundation
of customer satisfaction. Safe food handling
practices to prevent food-borne illness is of critical
importance to the health and safety of your
customers. HACCP, an acronym for Hazard Analysis
(at) Critical Control Points, is a quality control
program of operating procedures to assure food
integrity, quality, and safety. Taking steps necessary
to augment food safety practices are both cost
effective and relatively simple. While HACCP
guidelines go far beyond the scope of this manual,
