This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microorganisms are essential for the production of many foods, including cheese, yoghurt, and bread, but they can also cause spoilage and diseases. Quantitative Microbiology of Food Processing: Modeling the Microbial Ecology explores the effects of food processing techniques on these microorganisms, the microbial ecology of food, and the surrounding issues concerning contemporary food safety and stability. Whilst literature has been written on these separate topics, this book seamlessly integrates all these concepts in a unique and comprehensive guide. Each chapter includes background information regarding a specific unit operation, discussion of quantitative aspects, and examples of food processes in which the unit operation plays a major role in microbial safety. This is the perfect text for those seeking to understand the quantitative effects of unit operations and beyond on the fate of foodborne microorganisms in different foods. Quantitative Microbiology of Food Processing is an invaluable resource for students, scientists, and professionals of both food engineering and food microbiology.
Download or read book Quantitative Bacteriology written by John P. Heggers and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990-12-19 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students, residents, researchers, and surgeons will discover that this book is a compendium of knowledge regarding quantitative bacteriology. Beginning with the concept of the equilibrium between bacteria and the factors of host resistance as recognized historically, this book finishes with discussions regarding the practicality of tissue bacterial quantification in 1990. Various techniques for quantifying bacteria in tissue are discussed and critically evaluated. The role for qualitative species identification is emphasized. Specialists will find the place for quantitative bacteriology in general wound healing, general surgery, orthopedics, plastic surgery, thoracic surgery, and the management of burns. Also included is a section on statistics and validity of tissue sampling to help develop confidence levels. All of the chapters are interwoven to allow readers to determine the role of quantitative bacteriology in the armamentarium of a surgeon.

Download or read book Quantitative Aspects of Growth and Metabolism of Microorganisms written by A.H. Stouthamer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application of recent advances, such as non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the maintenance concept and the material balancing method, to the description, of microbial growth has suggested new experimental approaches which have yielded a wealth of data. These data have been used to develop mathematical models of microbial growth and metabolism, and the models have made it possible to direct the metabolism of a microorganism in such a way that more of a certain desired product is made. While a full quantitative description of all aspects of microbial growth and metabolism is till remote, the new approaches are opening up large areas of new potential -- it is now possible, for instance, to deal with individual cells in a population and with quantitative aspects of product formation and optimisation. Microbiologists, biochemists and physiologists will find this an invaluable update on a field of great promise.

Download or read book The Chemistry and Bacteriology of Public Health written by C. L. Dunn and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemistry and Bacteriology of Public Health deals with public health hygiene. This book reviews the alkalimetry, acidimetry, standard solutions, normal solutions, and the preparation of solutions in public health laboratories, including methods of estimating equivalent weights of substances. In collecting water samples for analysis, the investigator should avoid all sources of extraneous contamination. The Wanklyn's process analyzes organic matter in the water: different tests give quantitative estimates of water contamination or bacterial purity. The authors point that the process of analyzing sewage and sewage effluents are the same as in water analysis except that sewage is diluted with distilled water. The authors also explain how air and water are analyzed, soil analysis being a complex process. The authors discuss milk analysis (fresh, boiled, skimmed, powdered, condensed), butter, cheese, food grains. Microscopic examination of bacteria from samples taken are examined alive, in film preparations, or in sections. The book describes in detail the different types of bacteria, their occurrence, and how these are examined or cultured. This book is intended as a laboratory handbook for students taking up the examination in Public Health. The book can also prove beneficial for social worker, public health officials, and for undergraduate medical students.

Download or read book Microbiological Assay written by William Hewitt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbiological Assay: An Introduction to Quantitative Principles and Evaluation aims to provide an introduction to the principles of microbiological assay, assay design, and calculation procedures. Organized into nine chapters, this book begins with the philosophy of biological assay, as well as the method’s basic techniques, principles, mechanization, automation, purpose, reference standards, specifications, and reports. It also looks into the preparation of test solutions of standard and sample. Some chapters follow explaining the specific methods, such as agar diffusion assay and tube assay; others explore the statistical evaluation of these assays. Features of assay design, such as replication, number of dose levels, and spacing of dose levels, are also described. This book will serve as an elementary introduction to this field of interest to help encourage a less empirical approach to the subject.
Download or read book Chemical Methods in Bacterial Systematics written by Society for Applied Bacteriology and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current chemosystematics owes much to the availability of highly sensitive analytical techniques. Many of these involve a quantitative approach, utilising computers and a variety of statistical techniques. This book contains up-to-date procedures on chemical methods being developed and used for the classification and identification of bacteria, including medically and economically significant ones. Detailed protocols are given on how valuable taxonomic data can be derived from analyses of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and whole-organisms. Of general interest to microbiologists, the volume should also be an essential reference to those actively engaged in diagnostic bacteriology or microbial systematics. FROM THE PREFACE: Chemical methods not only are well established in bacterial systematics but are also rapidly changing our views on how bacteria should be classified and identified. Chemotaxonomy, which owes much to the availability of new and highly sensitive analytical techniques, can be used to establish relationships between bacteria at all levels in the taxonomic hierarchy. However, many of the new approaches are designed for the identification of bacteria and some are quantitative, employing computers and a variety of statistical techniques. This book contains detailed procedures on many of the chemical methods currently being used for the classification and identification of bacteria. As such, it will be of value generally to microbiologists and is an essential reference for those actively engaged in diagnostic bacteriology.
