Model outputs included the quantity and extent of the contaminated product from a production line. Outputs were used to compare the efficacy of cleaning interventions. Cross-contamination of potential dry cleaning surrogates was also modeled. Input parameters for the model included log reductions from wiping an inoculated surface with a dry towel and transfer coefficients from an inoculated surface to milk powder.

Wiping the contaminated surface with a dry towel before the production of milk powder reduced the number of contaminated units to 26 [12, 64]. Flushing the contaminated surface with 150 kg of milk powder prior to milk powder production reduced the number of contaminated units to 0 [0, 41].

Risk models can describe the tradeoffs associated with different dry cleaning strategies in low moisture food environments. For example, the model presented in this study can estimate the differences in product contamination as a consequence of flushing a processing line with increasing quantities of material. Additionally, outputs from this model can be used to evaluate the risk of cross-contamination from a contaminated dry cleaning tool. Finally, comparing outputs from a simulation model is an alternative method for comparing Salmonella surrogates used in dry cleaning validation. Simulation model outputs (i.e., prevalence and concentration of contaminated units) may be more broadly interpretable than comparing transfer coefficients alone, enhancing decision support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.02086-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,17]],"date-time":"2025-04-17T09:01:22Z","timestamp":1744880482000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A simulation model to quantify the efficacy of dry cleaning interventions on a contaminated milk powder line"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"91","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9113-2129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Devin","family":"Daeschel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science, Cornell University Department of Food Science","place":["Ithaca, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Long","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Northwest A&F University","place":["Yangling, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Zoellner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"iFood Decision Sciences, Inc.","place":["Seattle, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1141-4746","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Abigail B.","family":"Snyder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science, Cornell University Department of Food Science","place":["Ithaca, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfp.2022.11.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","volume-title":"Framework for establishing hygienic separation in continuous dairy powder systems in the event of a pathogen positive in finished product","author":"Belina D","year":"2022","unstructured":"Belina D, Bohanan M, Cook D, Davidson C, Galer C, Heiman R, Herrling J, Kuehm J, Kedzierski D, Ruffie D, Thompson R, Tjornehoj D, Travis J, Stubbs T, Warren B. 2022.
