Key words
microbiology, foodindustry, foodanalysis
Objectives
Theory :
The students acquire insight in : - microbiological food qualitycontrol, in sterilization and disinfectans methods - implementation of HACCP in the foodindustry - the micro-organisms that cause intoxications and decay - the occurrence of moulds-infections and mycotoxin-production - the composition and the use of microbiological media - know the techniques for identification of MO - technical modifications of foodstuff - chemical analysis of food
Practical :
The students know - how to work sterile - how to isolate and describe MO - how to preform a complete microbiological food qualitiy investigation - how to preform a chemical analysis of foodstuff.
Topics
Theory :
