FOOD MICROBIOLOGY

A food microbiology course explores the microscopic world's impact on our food. It focuses on two main areas:

  • Food Safety: Understanding how tiny organisms like bacteria, viruses, and parasites can cause foodborne illness and learning methods to prevent it.
  • Food Quality: Discovering how beneficial microbes create delicious fermented foods (cheese, yogurt) and how other microbes cause spoilage (moldy bread). You'll also learn about methods to preserve food and extend its shelf life.

The course equips you with knowledge of:

  • Microbial basics: their types, growth, and control.
  • Identifying foodborne threats.
  • Preventing food spoilage.
  • Science behind food fermentation.
  • Food preservation methods.
  • Food safety regulations.

By understanding the microscopic players, you can ensure safe food handling practices, appreciate fermented foods, and potentially pursue exciting careers in food science.
