ABSTRACT

The food industry is a diversified and large sector that produces, processes, and supplies much of the foods consumed by the world population. Therefore, hygienic design is essential to ensure safe goods supply for consumers. Sanitation is an applied science that states the creation and maintenance of hygienic and healthful conditions in an industry. Its applications refer to hygienic practices designed to maintain a clean and wholesome environment for food production, preparation, and storage. A new and renovated food factory facility should be well planned and emphasized with effective functionality, hygienic design, and construction principles to ensure sanitary operations. The floor design of a food facility is an important factor in hygienic design and sanitation. The selection of floor surface depends on the plant and its operations such as raw material collections, food production, preparation, processing, and food materials from the process falling onto the floor.
