What are the parameters to set  food raw material specification.

 

Dear Naa Adel,

 

The question scope is unfortunately of Book dimensions.

 

Basically involves BCP characteristics of safety/non-safety type.

 

If you would like a book suggestion  for the "B" in BCP - 

 

 MicroOrganisms in Foods 6, 2nd ed.Microbial Ecology of Food Commodities.ICMSF,2005

 

Can you be more specific as to product type, eg Melon, Peanut, frozen raw / RTE seafood?

As Charles has said with knowing the product one cannot be specific but this should give you some general ideas of parameters that should be in a specification:
