Food Microbiology Research Trends

Lyndal S. Whitnall

This book presents new and important research in the field of food microbiology. Included in the scope are the following: physiology, genetics, biochemistry, and behaviour of micro-organisms; effects of preservatives, processes, and packaging systems on the microbiology of foods; methods for detection, identification and enumeration of food-borne micro-organisms or microbial toxins; microbiology of food fermentations; predictive microbiology; microbial ecology of foods; microbiological aspects of food safety and microbiological aspects of food spoilage and quality.
