Italian term

contaminazione

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) Cleaning and sanitization
Nello specifico è in realtà un sinonimo di "sporco" nelle macchine per la pulizia industriale:
"Le macchine di lavaggio realizzate nei primi anni 80 hanno performato piuttosto bene nel settore delle contaminazioni fresche (industria delle macellazione, produzione salumi freschi, lavaggio cassette prodotti freschi,…) ma spesso erano insufficienti per contaminazioni complesse come quelle polimerizzate, disidratate, carbonizzate o comunque modificate. "
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 residue
3 +2 contamination [in the fresh produce sector]
4 cross contamination

You are probably right, Lionel. But there's not much that is easy to understand in this field and many others. This is why I have to research so much stuff. Nothing comes easy to me.
Lionel_M (X) Mar 17, 2010:
Biology is not easy to understand for non specialists Liz.
liz askew Mar 17, 2010:
However, let it be said, that two Italian linguists, did not find this query 100% clear either:) so I am not alone here, eh?
liz askew Mar 17, 2010:
Fair enough, Francesco:) Have a good evening!
Francesco D'Arcangeli (asker) Mar 17, 2010:
Settore delle contaminazioni fresche Please don't concern yourself with "settore delle contaminazioni", it's just plain bad Italian. It is simply short for "settore in cui avvengono contaminazioni fresche", this is typical of "technical" Italian, words are omitted at will.
Lionel_M (X) Mar 17, 2010:
Liz, I'm not sure that a dictionary is enought to translate; otherwise we may have to find another job.
The point here, is that we are not talking about "bacterial contamination" as pointed out by Francesco, but simply about "dirts" present after cleaning. These are two different concepts and of course I could be wrong, but in Italian "lo sporco" is not a "contamination", nor "dirts" are contamination in English BTW.

Liz Please read "settore" as "about".
ie. about/regarding/when considering/talking about/when addressing.........the presence of fresh residues.....
I don't see anything regarding ""fresh product sector" here Liz
liz askew Mar 17, 2010:
So, is there a fresh residue/s sector?? Sorry, just how would this work in English Lionel...I want to understand this please..if you would be so kind:)

residue

In Italiano, come in Francese, la parola "contaminazione" non a sempre una connotazione di "pericolo biologico" come la interpresto in Inglese (ma forse mi sbaglio).
Tuttavia vedo che l'asker fa chiaramente riferimento a "SPORCO"
Quello che capisco qui è che, dopo lavaggio, vi sono dei residui di cibo ancora presenti. Essi sonno "igienicamente" inaccettabili, ma non “biologicamente pericolosi”. Quindi non userei la parola “contamination” che fa pensare a agenti patogeni o prodotti chimici, ma piuttosto semplicemente a “residues”.

neutral liz askew : how could you have a fresh residue sector though??sorry I still don't get it, as they are talking about a "settore" here, which I thought = sector. How are you going to fit "sector" in then?? out of interest.../Fresh residue?? seems odd to me:)

for instance on a blade; you cut one type of meat, then another one. The asker is speaking about "sporco" (dirty) Liz.//I don't see any problem with "settore" Liz
agree K Donnelly : It seems to me that the author is referring to the cleaning performance with respect to food processing residues.
18 mins
Many thanks K.// We have the same interpretation.
agree dandamesh : il senso è quello che dici tu ma sarebbe meglio parlare di "food residues", altrimenti potrebbe essere intertretato come residuei negli alimenti, tipo pesticidi. La seconda frase è più complessa e va ristrutturata, forse con deposits

cross contamination

La contaminazione crociata è la presenza non voluta di sostanze tossiche o microrganismi negli alimenti. La contaminazione crociata è il trasferimento di batteri patogeni da un alimento ad un altro attraverso una matrice diversa da quella alimentare (utensili, attrezzature, le mani).

Cross Contamination is when we carry bacteria from one object to another object; from one object to a person; or from person to person. We can cross contaminate our food by failing to wash our hands before we cook and Failing to use separate plates for cooked and uncooked food
