Federal and State Regulations on Selling Fermented Foods
Fermented foods are low-acids foods (typically fruits and vegetables) subjected to the action of acid-producing microorganisms to reduce the pH of the food to 4.6 or below. Examples of fermented foods are sauerkraut, some pickles, kimchi, and kombucha.

Federal and State Regulations on Selling Frozen and Dehydrated Foods
Freezing and dehydrating produce commodities, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts, are ways to increase the shelf life of the produce. Freezing can preserve freshness and quality.

Freezing does not kill bacteria on the product but it does prevent microbes from growing. Once a food is thawed, bacteria begin to grow and can spoil the produce, or if pathogenic (harmful), can cause foodborne illness. Be sure to store the fruit or vegetable at 0°F or below for the duration of its frozen life.

Federal and State Regulations on Selling Jams and Jellies
Jams, jellies, fruit butters, and preserves are shelf-stable food products. They contain high amounts of sugar and acid which lower the water activity and pH, respectively, of the product to minimize the growth of bacteria. Moisture migration, mold growth, and oxidation are reduced by hermetically sealing the jar. Important to the safety of jams and jellies is ensuring the pH of the product is below 4.6. Below this pH, Clostridium botulinum, a very serious human pathogen, cannot produce its deadly toxin.

Federal and State Regulations on Selling Pickled Vegetables
Pickling is an ancient method of food preservation dating back to 3rd century BC China. Unfermented pickles are typically put into an airtight jar with acid and flavorings and heated to kill any potential bacteria on the fruit or vegetable that may cause illness or spoilage. After a few days, the pickles are ready for consumption. The biggest concern about pickled foods is Clostridium botulinum. Clostridium botulinum is a microorganism that produces a fatal toxin in anaerobic environments with a pH above 4.6. The toxin causes botulism, a serious paralytic illness that can be fatal and is considered a medical emergency.

Grape Sampling for Maturity Analysis - Grape Maturity Series
Grape sampling is a way of monitoring the progress in the vineyard. The question of whether it is time to pick can’t be answered by sampling once, but by looking at multiple factors as they change over time. Typical measurements include Total Soluble Solids (TSS) measured as °Brix, pH, and titratable acidity, and should be supplemented by sensory analysis.

Estimating Grape Maturity by Sensory Analysis - Grape Maturity Series
To estimate grape harvest maturity, technological parameters including total soluble solids or °Brix, pH and titratable acidity are commonly measured. In addition to the increase of °Brix and pH and the decrease of titratable acidity during berry ripening, qualitative parameters can be used to evaluate the right time to harvest. The qualitative parameters are skin tannins, seed color, berry detachment, and berry aroma and flavors. Evaluation of these parameters involve four senses: taste, visual, touch and smell.

Estimating Grape Maturity by Titratable Acidity - Grape Maturity Series

Titratable acidity is a measurement that approximates total acidity in must and wine, and is indicative of the sensory perception of tartness. TA measures both the dissociated and un-dissociated acids neutralized by a base.

A solid understanding of the organic acid composition of the must is very important for the winemaker to:
  • Determine the harvest time and wine style. 
  • Decide on any must treatments prior to fermentation. 
  • Monitor the stability of a wine, e.g. if malolactic fermentation is intended, or not.
  • Comply to minimum and maximum acid level regulations set by the TTB.

Copper Sulfate Trial
Copper treatment of a wine may be helpful in removing unpleasant odors due to hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans.

If copper treatment fails to remove the off-odor, the problem may be a result of some other factor rather than sulfides. The first step in copper treatment is to experimentally determine the amount of copper needed for wine treatment, by performing a bench trial. This can be done using the following procedure.

A top priority for winemakers is to produce high quality wine that does not contain any faults or defects. A wine fault is an unpleasant organoleptic characteristic including look, smell, or taste. Wine faults can come from a chemical or a microbial origin and some off-odors can be the result of multiple faults. It can be challenging to identify some of the common defects, as wine faults are not always straightforward. Factors such as the type or style of wine, the stage of production, the wine age, and the person smelling or tasting all contribute to the perception of a wine fault.

Make Food Safety a Priority in Your School Garden
Research shows that a nutritious diet helps children learn better, and that kids are more likely to try and enjoy fresh vegetables and fruits if they helped grow them. School garden programs provide a unique opportunity for students to grow fresh vegetables, eat healthy food, and share their harvest with the rest of their school district by donating or selling it to the school cafeteria. To assure the food safety of the vegetables harvested from school gardens by students, schools should implement food safety protocols for their school garden activities.

This publication contains sample protocols for schools to use as they design best practices for their school gardens. These protocols are adapted from federal and state guidelines for Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Handling Practices (GHP).
