handled : - the operative's hands, - slicing machines, -cutting boards, - knives, -work surfaces, -all utensils & equipment-
must be washed and sterilized before contact is made with cooked foods.
Food Poisoning: There is possibility of transfer of bacteria from raw foods to cooked foods
WASHING FACILITIES
Washing by hand Only in very small
establishment all utensils and dishes are washed by hand. For manual cleansing and
sanitization of dishes and utensils preferably three large stainless steel sink should be used.
Washing by Machine
Items like crockery, glasses, trays, and containers are cleansed and sanitized by machine
The first section is the wash tank, in which the temperature of water should be 60ºC (140 °F).
The 2nd tank is the rinse tank, in which water at a temperature of 82 ºC (180 °F) is sprayed through fine nozzle jets.
The third section is a hot air drying chamber, operating at temp of 100 ºC (212 °F).
Pan washing Automatic washing machines may be used for cleansing and sanitization of pans, pots & large baking utensils.
Use of detergent/ germicide
For washing & sanitization combined detergent & germicide may be used. It is to be added by automatic dispenser.
CREW MEALS Cabin & cockpit crews are
normally supplied with special meals, or receive an allowance to buy food on arrival.
Captain should be given a completely different meal from that served to the co-pilot, and to be prepared from different sources
The same principle must apply if they eat in ground catering premises a few hours before take off.
AIRPORTS HOTEL/RESTAURANTS Airport hotels and
restaurants often provide foods to crew and passengers which should also be taken care of.

TRANSPORTATION OF FOOD TO AIRCRAFT
Vehicles for transportation Special vehicles are to be used for transportation. Vehicles should be refrigerated if catering centre is far away. All vehicles should be hygienically maintained . Not be used to carry the contents of waste bins. At the end of each day, the vehicle should be washed with detergent/germicide solution. Meals should be transported at 4°C (40ºF) to the
aircraft.
Preservation of food in Aircraft
Food for service to passengers is stored in the galley or pantry areas.
There should be a separate galley for first-class passengers.
TYPES OF MEALS IN AIRCRAFTS Cold meals- served on trays previously laid out in
flight catering. On the aircraft they are kept either in refrigerated modules or in containers holding a small slab of dry ice.
Hot meals on short – haul aircraft: It is kept in heat retaining ovens and served immediately after take-off.
Hot meals on long-haul aircraft: It is either frozen or chilled food & reheated in aircraft ovens quite rapidly, if necessary to serve, shortly after take-off.
WASTE DISPOSAL
SOLID WASTE Solid waste and other garbage from terminal restaurants, warehouses, offices, work shops and from the aircraft needs cleaning and disposal
FOOD WASTES
Waste food & unserved whole meals from the aircraft to be off loaded and brought back to flight catering without delay for disposal.
SOLID WASTE
Waste is disposed off to prevent nuisance, health hazards & danger to aircraft.
WASTE BINS
It should be kept in covered bins provided with a foot operated hinged lid.
The waste food used for animal feed, should be stored separately from garbage.
Full bins or sacks should be removed from the kitchen promptly
Provision must be made for the washing and disinfection of used garbage bins.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Care must be taken to avoid spillage and other nuisances.
Dry wastes from aircraft, flight catering center or airport buildings to be transported by covered vehicles or containers.
Open vehicles are strictly prohibited.
Collection and Transportation
RISKS OF WASTE There are lot of risks of
organic waste due to possibilities of spread of diseases by flies and rodents.
There is also the risk to aircraft from bird strikes .
Birds are attracted by wastes, that’s why the disposal site should be well away from runways & flight paths.
Risks of waste-continued Garbage dumps also to be sited far away
from food preparation premises to prevent the migration of flies and rodents. Because flies can travel up to a distance of 10
km (6 miles) or may be even more when assisted by the wind.
Risks of waste-continued FAA has recently issued
guidelines banning the location of garbage dumps or sanitary landfills:
No disposal within 3000 m (10000 ft) of runways used by turbo-jet aircraft
Within 1500 m (5000 feet) of runways used by piston engine aircraft.
Acceptable methods of disposal
Incineration in a mechanical plant Pulverization Controlled tipping(sanitary landfill) Incineration Pulverization Controlled tipping
FLIGHT CATERING LABORATORY
FLIGHT CATERING LABORATORY
All large flight catering should have their own laboratory for bacteriological control of food. Individual item can be checked as
necessary, and at the time of production. It can also be done from the national
laboratories but full control can only be achieved if a laboratory is provided at a flight catering unit.
FLIGHT CATERING INSPECTION
INSPECTION- continued
Inspection of Flight catering premises is to be carried out regularly and frequently
The frequency of inspection will depend on the operating standards found
The health authority shall have enforcement authority.
INSPECTION- continued Detailed inspections on all structural defects,
faulty methods of food preparation and handling techniques should be carried out on monthly intervals.
Also to see during revisits that recommendations have been duly implemented
In addition, frequent adhoc visits should be made to check handling practices.
CONCLUSION
To conclude the presentation, we may remember the following recommendations:
1. A coordinated service is required between aircraft & airport operators, ICAO, ACI and IATA to protect the health of the passengers and crew
2. Aircraft Operators to ensure potable water of acceptable quality (WHO/National Standard).
3. Cleaning of aircraft water tanks at regular interval is to be maintained.
4. Airlines to provide safe food/water on board an aircraft.
5. Liquid and solid waste disposal is the shared responsibilities of airlines, airport operators and ground service providers.
6. State is to take preventive measures against the
spread of infectious diseases by insects and rodents that are communicated by air.
LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL FROM THE AIRCRAFT
LAVATORY SERVICE VEHICLES A man connects the waste suction hose to the lavatory service
outlet on the underbelly of a C-17 Globemaster III, enabling him to suck the waste into a tank in the truck shown in the background.
Lavatory service vehicles empty and refill lavatories onboard aircraft. Waste is stored in tanks on the aircraft until these vehicles can empty them and remove the waste. After the tank is emptied, it is refilled with a mixture of water and a disinfecting concentrate, commonly called 'blue juice'. Instead of a self-powered vehicle, some airports have lavatory carts, which are smaller and must be pulled by tug.

Washing by hands-continued Abundant hot water to be supplied for
cleansing waste food from dishes and utensils.
Then soaking should be carried out at a temperature of approximately 45 ºC (115 ºF).
After that cleanse them in the second sink in water maintained at a temperature of 50ºc (120 ºF)
An efficient detergent should be used to emulsify fats.
FOOD WASTES After off loading from the aircraft, waste food,
unserved whole meals, should be brought back to flight catering without delay.
Off loading should commence as soon as possible after the aircraft lands, so that the galley can be cleaned before fresh equipment and food is loaded.
The waste food should be disposed off from catering centre without delay, safe and hygienically. All meal trays should be removed.
