Preparation of Sanitizing Solution
Cleaning and Sanitizing Equipment
 Introduction

This Self Learning Module were designed and written to help you prepare the cleaning and
sanitizing solution for cleaning and sanitizing equipment and processing/packaging area to
meet the workplace requirements. The scope of these learning materials focuses on the many
different learning situations. Moreover, the language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary
level of learners. The lessons are also arranged following the standard sequence of the
course. Hence, the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the
textbook you are now using.

The SLM contains:

Lesson 6: Clean and Sanitize Equipment and Processing/Packaging Area
(TLE_AFFP9-12CS-IIIa-e-1)

It is divided into two sub lessons, namely:

Lesson 1.1 – Preparation of Sanitizing Solution

Lesson 1.2 – Cleaning and Sanitizing Equipment and Processing/Packaging Area
to meet Workplace Requirements

After going through this SLM, you are expected to:

1. prepare a mixture of sanitizing solution, as necessary, according to workplace
requirements and application; and
2. follow the procedures in cleaning and sanitizing equipment and
processing/packaging area according to workplace requirements and
manufacturer’s specifications.

 Lesson
Preparation of Sanitizing Solution

While we are experiencing a pandemic now, the CoVid 19, the only thing that we can do to
fight against this virus is by making ourselves and surroundings clean and sanitize while
dealing with other people. SANITIZING = REDUCE GERMS, the reduction of bacteria to safe
levels (set by public health standards) to decrease the risk of infection.

There's a big difference between cleaning and sanitizing. Cleaning removes food and other
types of soil from a surface such as a countertop or a plate. Sanitizing reduces the number
of pathogens on that clean surface to safe levels. ... Surfaces must be cleaned,
rinsed, sanitized, and allowed to air dry.

The fact is, to effectively sanitize or disinfect an area, you have to remove the dirt and debris
from a surface first. That means cleaning first, THEN sanitizing or disinfecting. That's
because these products can't effectively penetrate through dirt and debris to do their work.

Chlorine is both an inexpensive and effective disinfectant if it is used properly. Improper use
of chlorine could lead to incomplete sanitization or contamination of produce with excess
chlorine.

Study the table below

Area to be sanitized Volume of Water Volume of Amount of Time in

Chlorine contact with the
surface
Hand Dip 5 gallons 108 ml 2 – 5 minutes
Equipment 5 gallons 54 ml 2 – 5 minutes
Floor 5 gallons 125 ml 20 minutes
Water for Food processing 5 gallons 27 ml 2 – 5 minutes
for washing vegetables

For processing/packaging area

Scrape the food soil from the working table, sinks and floor

Wash thoroughly with a detergent solution.

Rinse thoroughly with warm water

Sanitize the area for 10-20 minutes.

Workplace Requirements

Every Food (Fish) Processing facility should have written Sanitation Standard Operating
Procedures (SSOPs) for completing sanitataion activities. This provide specific instructions as
to how to complete each sanitation activity. It is important that tjhe area are free from garbage,
debris, fith, and potentially infectious materials.

6
Take note of the following reminders:

➢ Follow procedures and safe work practices.

➢ The process flow in the Processing/Packaging area should be arranged to prevent
product contamination.
➢ The premises should promote safe and hygienic condition.
➢ The walls, floors, ceilings, windows should be kept clean and withstand cleaning
methods. Open windows should be screened.
➢ Floors should have adequate fall and well-designed drainage to minimize
contamination.
➢ Doors should normally be closed or screened to prevent pest entrance.
➢ Lighting should be adequate and safe from breakage to prevent glass splinters in the
products.
➢ Check product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets(MSDS) to know potential
hazards and safe work practices for all cleaning and disinfecting products to be used.
➢ Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
➢ Use cleaning products appropriate for your workplace.
➢ Use germicides or diluted bleaches (e.g. sodium hypochloride) to disinfect areas as
required.
➢ Wash hands regularly and thoroughly.
Interpreting Manufacturer’s Specifications
Food processing equipment when sold are provided with a manual containing the
manufacturer’s specifications. A necessary reminder to the processor in the form of a sticker
or warning label attached to then equipment itself as an assurance that the
equipment/machine or tool is in excellent condition and has passed the a quality control
standards.

The specifications usually gives a detailed description of the equipment – dimensions,

materials, and other relevant information regarding the equipment or machine.

Dimension – give the size of the equipment or tool in terms of width and length.

Capacity – specifies the amount which a device can contain as in boilers, cookers or steamers
or weighing scale.

The manufacturer’s specifications are usually contained in the manual, which accompanies in
the equipment. The food processor must thoroughly read and understand all the information
contained in the manual especially if the the equipment is to be operated via electric power.It
is also important also important to know these information:

1. Basic safety precautions to follow when using the equipment

2. Warning labels which specify how to prperly operate an equipment
3. Instructions on the proper care and correct operation of the equipment/machine
