The Microbiology of Safe Food
The book will provide an overview of the important issues in food safety, which shows no sign of diminishing as a topic of huge concern from industry to consumer. The book does not set out to compete with large standard food microbiology titles that are well established, but will be a companion text with less scientific background detail and more information for those actually going into jobs where a practical knowledge of food safety issues is necessary. The companion website for this book can be found at: http://www.foodmicrobe.com/info.htm Practically oriented Author has wide experience of teaching cutting edge food safety information Topic of great and growing concern Succinct, core, vital information for food industry personnel
Food Hygiene, Microbiology and HACCP
Food microbiology is a fascinating and challenging science. It is also very demanding with a constantly changing sea of guidelines, regulations and equip ment. Public concerns over food safety issues can overemphasize certain risks and detract from the normal hygienic practice of food manufacturers. This new edition aims to update anyone concerned with the hygienic production of food on key issues of HACCP, food microbiology and the methods of microbe detection. I have taken a 'crystal ball' approach to certain topics. The use of rapid techniques such as lux gene technology and polymerase chain reaction (DNA probes) are progressing so rapidly in the research laboratory that when this book is...
Diagnosis of Pathogenic Microorganisms Causing Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases are caused by the pathogenic microbial organisms. These microbes can multiply and can cause an infection, once they enter the body. Infectious diseases are transmissible, and may cause mild to life-threatening illnesses. It can be airborne, waterborne, foodborne, and soilborne. It can be spread through direct contact (human to human, animal to human). It has also been one of the leading causes of human deaths. Therefore, there is a need to have rapid diagnostic methods to prevent and control these diseases. This book titled “Diagnosis of Pathogenic Microorganisms Causing Infectious Diseases” will help the scientific community to understand the transmission dynamics of some infectious diseases of public health importance.
Food Microbiology
This essential reference emphasizes the molecular and mechanistic aspects of food microbiology in one comprehensive volume. • Addresses the field's major concerns, including spoilage, pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxigenic molds, viruses, prions, parasites, preservation methods, fermentation, beneficial microorganisms, and food safety. • Details the latest scientific knowledge and concerns of food microbiology • Offers a description of the latest and most advanced techniques for detecting, analyzing, tracking, and controlling microbiological hazards in food. • Serves as significant reference book for professionals who conduct research, teach food microbiology courses, analyze food samples, conduct epidemiologic investigations, and craft food safety policies.
Living with Little Monsters
The tragic coronavirus pandemic of 2020-2022 opened the world’s eyes anew to the urgent need for a better understanding of microorganisms, whether viruses or bacteria, in order to develop best practices for reducing the risk of dangerous infections. Ideally, every household should have sufficient knowledge of how viruses and other kinds of microorganisms can damage human and animal health. Now, with exquisite timing, Prof Pieter Gouws at the Centre for Food Safety (CFS), in the Department of Food Science at Stellenbosch University, and food scientist Dr Michaela van den Honert, have collaborated on a scientific household guide for “living with little monsters”, introducing the reader to an array of potentially harmful microorganisms. Nor have the authors neglected the bacteria which play a positive role, for example, in the human gut. They have gathered the latest scientific evidence for an extensive set of descriptions of specific microbes to watch out for and how best to minimise the risk of being infected by them. By so doing, they can empower ordinary consumers, along with their families, to live healthier, less risky, daily lives.
Conjugated Linoleic Acids and Conjugated Vegetable Oils
This book presents a comprehensive overview of all different aspects of CLA, and summarises the chemistry of their various applications.
Indicators for Waterborne Pathogens
Recent and forecasted advances in microbiology, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry have made it timely to reassess the current paradigm of relying predominantly or exclusively on traditional bacterial indicators for all types of waterborne pathogens. Nonetheless, indicator approaches will still be required for the foreseeable future because it is not practical or feasible to monitor for the complete spectrum of microorganisms that may occur in water, and many known pathogens are difficult to detect directly and reliably in water samples. This comprehensive report recommends the development and use of a "tool box" approach by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and others for assessing microbial water quality in which available indicator organisms (and/or pathogens in some cases) and detection method(s) are matched to the requirements of a particular application. The report further recommends the use of a phased, three-level monitoring framework to support the selection of indicators and indicator approaches.Â
