Microbiological Safety and Quality of Food
Microbiological Safety and Quality of Food Books
Product Description
This authoritative two-volume reference provides valuable, necessary in rank on the principles underlying the production of microbiologically safe and established foods. The work starts with an overview and then addresses four major areas: ‘Principles and application of food preservation techniques’ covers the specific techniques that defeat growth of harmful microorganisms, how those techniques work, how they are used, and how their effectiveness is measured. ‘Microbial ecology of different types of food’ provides a food-by-food accounting of food composition, naturally occurring microflora, effects of processing, how spoiling can occur, and preservation. ‘Foodborne pathogens’ profiles the most vital and the most perilous microorganisms that can be found in foods, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, mycotoxins, and ‘mad cow disease.’ The section also looks at the economic aspects and long-term consequences of foodborne disease. ‘Assurance of the microbiological safety and quality of foods’ scrutinizes all aspects of quality assurance, including HACCP, hygienic factory design, methods of detecting organisms, risk assessment, legislation, and the design and accreditation of food microbiology laboratories. Tables, photographs, illustrations, chapter-by-chapter references, and a thorough index complete each volume. This reference is of value to all academic, research, industrial and laboratory libraries supporting food programs; and all institutions caught up in food safety, microbiology and food microbiology, quality assurance and assessment, food legislation, and generally food science and technology.
