More Than Just ATP: Monitoring Brewery Cleanliness with the Kikkoman A3 System

Ensuring that your brewery stays clean is more important than ever, and checking your brewing surfaces for contamination is the best way to keep production up and running. ATP technology is a fast and accurate method to check the cleanliness of any surface in your brewery. This webinar will outline the benefits of testing for ATP as part of your brewery sanitation program, and how the new A3 technology from Kikkoman goes beyond ATP testing alone. Join the team at Weber Scientific to learn more about using the A3 system to make sure your brewery stays clean!

The Unseen Threat - Mastering Microorganism Control, Elevating Cleaning Standards in the Food Industry

HyServe will be hosting an upcoming webinar as part of the A3 Webinar Series. For full details and registration, please visit the event page at the link below.

Introduction Summary

"The Unseen Threat: Mastering Microorganism Control" addresses the severe public health and financial costs of microbiological contamination in the food industry, where outbreaks can lead to millions of illnesses and devastating economic damage. While regulatory frameworks like HACCP mandate stringent cleaning, the document highlights a critical weakness in standard ATP monitoring. Because the ATP molecule is unstable and degrades into ADP and AMP, conventional tests can produce dangerous false negatives and a misleading sense of security. As a solution, the presentation introduces Kikkoman's A3 Technology, an advanced system that provides unmatched accuracy by detecting the total adenylate picture (ATP, ADP, and AMP). By measuring all three molecules, the A3 method captures a complete and reliable assessment of organic residue, overcoming the limitations of older tests to ensure true cleaning effectiveness.

Key Topics

  • The Critical Reality: Microbiological contamination from sources like bacteria, viruses, molds, and parasites represents a primary threat not only to food safety but also to public health. This is not a theoretical risk but a critical reality with severe, measurable and unmeasurable consequences.
  • Cost of Contamination: Failures in microbial control lead to costly product recalls, damage to brand reputation, and significant public health crises. Globally, an estimated 600 million people get sick and 420,000 die from contaminated food annually.
  • Regulatory Landscape: Stringent hygiene practices are mandated by global and national regulations, with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) being a foundational principle. Enforced by specific laws from bodies like the European Union and the FDA, these regulations require a comprehensive approach to safety. This includes detailed focus on everything from equipment design and sanitation protocols to personnel hygiene, water quality, and waste management to ensure food safety from the ground up.
  • Cleaning, Validation, and Verification: The presentation outlines the 7 essential steps of cleaning and sanitizing. It distinguishes between validation (proving a process is effective) and verification (confirming the process is followed correctly), identifying ATP monitoring as a key verification method.
  • ATP Monitoring and Its Limitations: ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a molecule present in all living things, and its detection is used for hygiene monitoring. However, ATP is unstable and can degrade into ADP and AMP, a process accelerated by heat and cleaning agents. This can lead to false negatives, creating a false sense of security.
  • Kikkoman A3 Technology: This system is presented as the future of hygiene monitoring. Unlike standard tests, the A3 system detects the total adenylate picture—ATP, ADP, and AMP. It recycles AMP and ADP back into ATP, which is then measured, providing a more accurate and comprehensive view of organic soiling and reducing false negatives.

Q&A Session

Mr. Padilla Munoz, Jorge Eduardo

Free Technical Webinar 

Are you doing enough to safeguard your food products from hidden hazards and contamination risks? Ensuring food safety demands a strong, integrated approach that incorporates both effective HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and sanitation control programs. HACCP focuses on systematically identifying, assessing, and managing potential hazards throughout food production, while sanitation programs uphold hygiene standards to prevent contamination. When implemented together, these systems minimize food safety risks, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and protect consumer health by maintaining consistent control over critical processes, and proper hygiene and sanitation throughout the supply chain.

In this FREE technical webinar, industry experts will guide you through best practices, regulatory expectations, and real-world applications of HACCP principles and sanitation strategies. Learn how to design, implement, and monitor complex food safety systems that minimizes risks, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure product integrity from production to consumption.
