MANHATTAN, KAS. — AIB International, in partnership with the Food Science Institute and Department of Statistics, Kansas State University, and the Food Science and Technology Department, University of Nebraska, published baking process kill step validation research in the Journal of Food Protection (Vol. 79, No. 4), a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of food safety microbiology.

AIB International said it has paid the Journal of Food Protection to make the published paper open access, which means interested parties may access the research on-line, immediately, and with the rights to use the articles fully in the digital environment. A PDF of the published article may be downloaded from the AIB web site or accessed via the Journal for Food Protection web site.

“The importance of this research is crucial for the baking industry as it relates to the Food Safety Modernization Act,” said Brian Strouts, vice-president of baking and food technical services for AIB International. “AIB International made a commitment when our research began in early 2015 to be a resource to help the baking industry meet compliance standards. This has been a great cost-savings for many companies that could not make the financial investment this type of research requires.”
