INTRO TO GMP, HAND WASHING AND PERSONAL HYGIENE
September 27, 2021 the first day of webinar that was conducted by College of
Tourism and Hospitality Management via Zoom, which has a lot of audience, camed
up to 251 participants from different schools. It was started by an invocation,
Pambasang Awit, CSU Hymn through multi media presentation. Dr. Marilyn B.
Castillo the CSUCC Chancellor was the one who gave the opening remarks, then
followed by Dr. Anthony M. Penaso for his welcomed address. An inspirational
message was given by Engineer Andrea Cobonite a DOST OIC of Regional
Department of Science and Technology Caraga State University Ampayon, Butuan
City. It was then requested to open each cameras for the first photo opportunity.
Ms. Mary Jane R. Betco one of the faculty member of CTHM was introduced
the first speaker. A Science Research Specialist II in Provincial of Agusan del Sur,
Ms. Marie Kris P. Delarmente. This webinar has 3 topics; Intro to Good
Manufacturing Procedure, Hand Washing and Personal Hygiene. We all know that
food is very important and is a necessity to all the people and providing safe food
and high quality to the consumer is highly importance to the food processor. It was a
great privileged to attend this webinar as we learn and broaden our minds when it
comes to handling food. It aims to discuss the possible situations, the right thing to
do and the step to ensure consumer safety.
Any person who works in a position where they come into touch with food or
food preparation is referred to as a food handler. This can be done directly by
preparing, packing, and serving food, or indirectly by storing, transporting, and
delivering food. Any food handler should practice good personal hygiene to reduce
the possibility of food contamination. Food poisoning can be avoided with good
personal cleanliness. Food poisoning bacteria can be found on anyone - including
healthy people. If you touch your nose, mouth, hair, or clothes, and then food, you
can spread bacteria from yourself to the meal. It's also good business sense to
maintain proper personal hygiene.

FOOD SAFETY HAZARDS, CROSS-CONTAMINATION and FOOD CONTACT
SURFACES
September 28, 2021 the 2nd day of webinar series that was sponsored by
Department of Science and Technology Caraga with a theme food safety and
product development. It was started with a prayer, singing national anthem and CSU
Hymn via multi-media presentation. Ms. Nikka Fuentas was the one who welcomed
all the participants and then introduced the 2nd speaker from Mangagoy Bislig,
Surigao del Sur, the Center Manager for Regional Standard Testing Laboratory Ms.
Jennifer J. Dejarme. The topic was already been discussed with our instructor during
face to face classes. Perhaps this webinar will serve as our review to remember and
have a better and deeper understanding of the said topic. Since there are many 1st
year participants, this will give them prior knowledge that they will apply soon.
I have learned in this webinar that food safety should always be a top priority
because even a single food-related occurrence may be devastating to your business.
There are three different categories of food hazards. Bacteria, parasites, fungus, and
viruses are examples of biological hazards. They can grow in poorly handled food or
as a result of external contamination. Hazardous chemicals, such as insecticides and
machine lubricants, are examples of chemical hazards. These dangers exist at every
level of the food handling process. Physical hazards include glass or metal
fragments, toothpicks, jewelry, or hair that can contaminate your food. To decrease
the possibility of contamination, care should be given during the preparation
procedure. Physical contamination can be avoided by ensuring that all foods are
covered in storage.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND FOOD FORMULATION
September 29, 2021 the 3rd day of our webinar series. The speaker was a
Coordinator Upgrading of the Food Innovation Program named Engr. Emman Lliam
L. Prisco. It was an interesting topic with an informative way of delivery. I am amazed
of how the speaker deliver her discussion that we students might equip better and
gain another information that we can share soon to the other students. It was said
that when we go to a food and beverage sector, it was not only the task and quality
to assure but the safety of the product to be sell as well. The Speaker will tend to ask
some questions to the participants and whoever answered will be having a prize.
RA 10611 (Food Safeety Act of 2013) “An act to strengthen the food safety
regulatory system in the country to protect consumer health and facilitate market
assess of local foods and food products and or other purposes”. If the food we are
selling the the customer, it may be prepackaged, it may be sold to restaurant and
eatery, it it cause harm upon consumption to customer then the person who is
responsible will be subjected to RA 10611. Specially in the future as we will become
an owner of food manufacture it is important to know and follow the systematic
procedure or step to assure its safety , because doesn’t mean it has a good taste or
quality it is safe, the are still some circumstance that food can lead to danger if it is
not followed the safety process.
The process takes place within the laboratory technologist play a significant
role to guarantee the nourishment manufacturing process follows to quality
outcomes. Therefore, the technologist has to guarantee the item meets
these specifications by taking a dynamic part within the entire development
processing stage at the laboratory level. Consumers have a right to expect that the
foods they purchase and consume will be safe and of high quality. They have a right
to voice their opinions about the food control procedures, standards and activities
that governments and industry use to ascertain that the food supply has these
characteristics. While consumers, governments and others play an important part in
ensuring food safety and quality, in free-market societies the ultimate responsibility
for investing the physical and managerial resources that are necessary for
implementing appropriate controls lies with the food industry - the industry that
continuously oversees the manufacture and processing of foods, from raw
ingredients to finished product, day in and day out.

INTRODUCTION TO SHELF LIFE ANALYSIS AND BASIC CALCULATION
September 30, 2021, day 4 of webinar series from morning 8:30AM -
12:00 noon up until the afternoon from 1:00PM-5:00PM. The speaker was still Engr.
Emman Lliam L. Prisco a Coordinator Upgrading of the Food Innovation Program.
The topic was getting deeper It's also a great opportunity to get deep into the
said topic that excites and are interesting. I was amaze by how the speaker deliver
her discussion, she delivered it well and will literally awake everybody’s mind to think
and analyze.
I have learned that shelf life is a guide for the consumer of the period of
time that food can be kept before it starts to deteriorate, provided any stated storage
conditions have been followed. The shelf life of a product begins from the time the
food is prepared or manufactured. Its length is dependent on many factors including
the types of ingredients, manufacturing process, type of packaging and how the food
is stored. It is indicated by labeling the product with a date mark. Shelf life testing
describes how long a food will retain its quality during storage. Controlling the
pathogen content (safety) of foods should be achieved by using a Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system. Predictive modelling or challenge testing can
be used to assess pathogen growth. However, food safety and product shelf life are
inextricably linked. During the shelf life of a food it should: Remain safe to eat Keep
its appearance, odour, texture and flavour Meet any nutritional claims provided on
the label.
Anyone who packages and sells food that is required to be date marked
is legally responsible for calculating how long their product can reasonably be
expected to keep, without any appreciable change in quality. The food label is
required to detail the shelf life and the storage instructions to meet that shelf life .
Growers / Producers, other suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and
consumers has an influence on food quality and safety. It is not possible to be
confident that food is safe unless a food control plan is in place that identifies and
controls hazards throughout the food chain.

INTRODUCTION TO SHELF LIFE ANALYSIS AND BASIC CALCULATION
October 1, 2021 the last day of webinar series that was sponsored by
Department of Science and Technology Caraga with a theme food safety and
product development. It was started with a prayer, singing national anthem and CSU
Hymn via multi-media presentation. Ms.Queenchy Micabalo was the one who
welcomed and introduced the 5th day speaker Engr. Emman Lliam L. Prisco a
Coordinator Upgrading of the Food Innovation Program. The discussion involves
statistics. Another fruitful and new learning are given that soon as we become to
venture a product we are already aware of what might be the procedures to follow
and knows the process as well.
