Microbiological Quality of Food Contact Surfaces (Spoons) at Selected Restaurants in Klang Valley, Malaysia

Abstract

Food borne diseases increase worldwide and contamination of food contact surfaces serves as one of the reasons for their occurrence. The aim of this study was to determine the microbiological quality of spoons at selected restaurants in

“…decrease the space's temperature) by increasing the natural ventilation area (Noman et al, 2016;Lei et al, 2017). Thus, the objective is to solve thermal comfort issues and improve air quality in indoor spaces (Ocak et al, 2012;Hameed & Habeeballah 2013;Alananbeh 2017;Yu et al, 2017;Nahar & Mahyudin 2018;Azuma et al, 2020). In Figure 8, at 0.5 m/s, the airflow had quite a sharp upward curve pattern; it reached the louvres, then continued to concentrate towards the upper part of the space as it passed through the louvres, upon which the airflow spread slowly to the other amount of the space.…”

Dependency of Biological Contaminants on Temperature and Relative Humidity within Praying Halls of Mosques

“…Many studies have been carried out on biological contaminants (bacteria and fungi) levels in different building environments, such as mosques, schools, offices, restaurants and industrial processes (Alananbeh et al 2017;Backman et al 2014;Bornehag et al 2001;Hameed & Habeeballah, 2013;Kousar et al 2013;Mashat 2015;Meklin et al 2002;Mendell et al 2014;Nahar & Mahyudin 2018). The results showed that in indoor environments, one of the strongest and most consistent risk factors for health problems, which include sick building syndrome (SBS), asthma and allergies and respiratory illnesses, is moisture problems in buildings, known broadly as 'dampness'.…”
