Food Microbiology
Revised edition of Food microbiology: an introduction / Thomas J. Montville and Karl R. Matthews. 2nd ed. 2008.
Food Microbiology
This impressive second edition by Thomas Montville and Karl Matthews builds upon the earlier edition's success covering the complex field of food microbiology while also motivating students to venture beyond memorization to a broader understanding of the concepts. Organized into five major sections, which can be taught in any order, this new edition adds important new details, including expanded coverage of food fermentations.

Advances in Ensuring the Microbiological Safety of Fresh Produce
Increasing consumer demand for low-input cultivation and minimal processing has significantly increased the risk of microbiological contamination of fresh produce. This both presents a health risk to consumers and undermines trust in the food supply chain from farm to fork. Advances in ensuring the microbiological safety of fresh produce reviews our current understanding of the main pathogenic risks to fresh produce, including their epidemiology, genetics and behaviour. The book addresses recent advances in improving safety along the value chain, from advances in detection to improving consumer handling of fresh produce. By providing a comprehensive insight into the pathogenic risks facing t...
The Produce Contamination Problem
Understanding the causes and contributing factors leading to outbreaks of food-borne illness associated with contamination of fresh produce is a worldwide challenge for everyone from the growers of fresh-cut produce through the entire production and delivery process. The premise of The Produce Contamination Problem is that when human pathogen contamination of fresh produce occurs, it is extremely difficult to reduce pathogen levels sufficiently to assure microbiological safety with the currently available technologies. A wiser strategy would be to avoid crop production conditions that result in microbial contamination to start. These critical, problem-oriented chapters have been written by r...

Authoritative coverage presented in a format designed to facilitate teaching and learning.
Microbiology of Fresh Produce
Presents the latest research and industry practices promoting microbiological safety of fruits and vegetables. - Examines key issues of microbiological safety of fresh produce, from production to consumption, and focuses on the unique challenges the specialists encounter in controlling microorganisms found on produce. - Highlights microorganisms associated with human illness and linked to consumption of contaminated produce. - Discusses industry trends and topical issues, including the microbiology of imported and domestic produce, good agricultural practices, irradiation, edible films, and diagnostic techniques used in the field. - Features a chapter devoted to the practices related to the safety of seed sprouts, covering valuable information relevant to the producer, researcher, and extension specialist.
Origins of the Organic Agriculture Debate
Origins of the Organic Agriculture Debate takes an historical look at two contrasting streams of ideas. The first view comprises the flow of ideas in chemistry and biology that have created the conditions for modern medicine, modern food production and the biotechnological revolution. The second view is the "vitalist" reaction to the rise of modern science and the resulting rejection of modern agriculture. Contemporary proponents of "organic" agriculture and the anti-genetically modified food movement believe that "pure" food confers some special kind of virtue both on those who produce it and those who consume it. They fail to acknowledge that organic chemistry, genetics, and molecular biol...
Microbial Safety of Fresh Produce
Microbial Safety of Fresh Produce covers all aspects of produce safety including pathogen ecology, agro-management, pre-harvest and post-harvest interventions, and adverse economic impacts of outbreaks. This most recent edition to the IFT Press book series examines the current state of the problems associated with fresh produce by reviewing the recent, high-profile outbreaks associated with fresh-produce, including the possible internalization of pathogens by plant tissues, and understanding how human pathogens survive and multiply in water, soils, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Food Safety and Foodborne Disease Surveillance Systems
In October 2004 the Research Center for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases of Shaheed Beheshti University hosted in Tehran an Iranian-American workshop on Food Safety and Surveillance Systems for Foodborne Diseases. The purposes of the workshop were to initiate contacts between Iranian and American specialists, exchange information about relevant activities in the two countries, and set the stage for future cooperation in the field. The participants also identified important aspects of food safety that should be addressed more intensively by both countries, including surveillance, research, international trade, and risk assessment. The framework for the workshop had been developed during a meeting of Iranian and American specialists in June 2003 in Les Treilles, France. More that 100 specialists participated in the workshop in their personal capacities, along with representatives of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization. These proceedings include a number of papers that were presented at the workshop together with summaries of discussions following presentation of the papers.
