FOOD AND INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOLOGY

Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food, including the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage. Food and Industrial Microbiology details the principles involved in microbiological spoilage of foods, micro-organisms of public health significance that cause foodborne illness, food safety and aspects of food preservation. Microbiological testing of foods is considered using current standard methods. The industrial microbiology examines how micro-organisms are obtained, handled and maintained in industry and discusses the application of genetically modified micro-organisms. Fermentation modes and kinetic models are discussed.
