Course objectives
The course focuses on the importance and history of the field, its position in the nutritional sciences, biological, biochemical characteristics of viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungal organisms, their occurrence, importance for humans and food production (positive - negative). The student will learn about the mechanisms of microbial spoilage of food and the risk of possible transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to humans.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to: to assess the results of a microbiological examination of foods in view of the potential health risk; to summarize the general characteristics of the micro-organisms involved in the food industry and in the production and control of foodstuffs; apply microbiological methods in the HACCP system
