Abstract:
From the total number of air-borne microorganisms present per m3 of air, 1.5% were found to contaminate a dairy product while being packed into a container with an opening of 100 cm2 if it was exposed for 60 s. This value was used to compile a proposed guideline of maximum acceptable number of air-borne microorganisms per m3 which, if complied with, could ensure that no significant air-borne contamination of the product being packaged would take place.
