Fundamental Food Microbiology. Sixth Edition

Abstract

In the sixth edition, is aimed to capture scientific advancements related to foodborne pathogens, the impact of climate change on foodborne diseases, food spoilage, and sustainability. We reorganized several chapters and merged the appendix sections for better presentation and clarity. New topics included in this edition are a brief description of the CRISPR/Cas system for gene editing, plasma technology, micro/nanobubble technology for food processing, plant- and animal derived antimicrobial peptides, bioengineering of probiotics, and some key mycotoxins. All chapters in this sixth edition have been thoroughly revised and updated with recent reference articles, illustrations, and figures when possible.
