Re: Juice Industry
Survey: Prevalence and Practices
Related to Acid-Tolerant Bacillus
Dear Eric,
This letter is a follow-up to our conversation at the recent juice processing workshop held at UC Davis. I am very interested in helping you with a survey of approximately 75 members of the juice industry regarding acid-tolerant bacillus (primarily Allicyclobacillus spp.). My understanding is that you would like assistance in developing the survey, and that UC Davis would be responsible for reproduction, mailing, following up and collecting and analysis of the survey data. A final report would also be expected and presentation of the data at a scientific meeting.
An estimated budget is attached with a total of $2,963.85. The budget is calculated without overhead charges meaning that the funds will have to be received as a gift to my program.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the budget.
Regards,
Linda J. Harris, Ph.D.
Extension Food Safety/Microbiology Specialist
