DESCRIPTION
This unit is designed to help students to develop an understanding of food microbiology, to appreciate the principles of food microbiology and explore both microbial food spoilage and foodborne microorganisms. In this context students will learn about the hazards that microorganisms pose to food safety, evaluate the risk and apply methods by which food can be processed safely. This is a practical unit and students will continue to develop their skills in examining foodstuffs in order to enumerate and identify specific microorganisms. Emphasis will be given to the development, application and use of microbiological criteria for evaluating food safety. Students will be introduced to innovative analytical techniques used for the identification and enumeration of microbes.
