Study Notes

Microbial Ecology of Foods

Focuses on the role of microorganisms in food ecosystems, including their interactions with each other and their environment
Examines the dynamics of microbial populations in food systems

Food Spoilage

Studies the degradation of food quality and safety due to microbial growth and activity
Involves understanding the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of spoilage

Foodborne Diseases

Involves the study of illnesses caused by consuming contaminated food or water
Focuses on the microbiological causes of foodborne diseases, including pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites

Food Preservation

Aims to prevent or minimize the growth of microorganisms in food, thereby extending shelf life and ensuring food safety
Involves understanding the principles and methods of preservation, such as thermal processing, fermentation, and control of water activity

Role of Micro-organisms

Microorganisms play a crucial role in food microbiology, as they can be both beneficial (e.g., fermentation, probiotics) and harmful (e.g., foodborne diseases, spoilage)
Microorganisms can also be used as indicators of food quality and safety
