Download or read book Microorganisms in Foods 5 written by International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-06-30 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to assemble detailed information relating to foodborne pathogens in order to make it readily accessible to those who wish to employ the HACCP system for the control of microbial hazards. The book is concerned solely with foodborne pathogens and does not discuss spoilage organisms. Each chapter provides a general survey of a foodborne pathogen, with appropriate referencing to authoritative review material. Reviews the history and the occurrence of the organism in nature as well as its taxonomy. Discusses the symptoms (but not the treatment) of the relevant foodborne disease syndrome(s), as well as the mechanism of pathogenicity. Consideration is given to the available method for the enumeration and identification of the organism, as well as possible alternative methods. Also reviews the epidemiology of the foodborne disease and its importance. Each chapter concerns itself with the specific parameters that influence the growth, survival or death of the microorganism. Includes information on temperature, water activity, pH, irradiation, preservatives, gases, disinfectants and, where possible, on interactions between these parameters. Written for food technologists, product developers, food microbiologists and regulators.

Download or read book Microorganisms in Foods 8 written by International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microorganisms in Foods 8: Use of Data for Assessing Process Control and Product Acceptance is written by the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods with assistance from a limited number of consultants. The purpose of this book is to provide guidance on appropriate testing of food processing environments, processing lines, and finished product to enhance the safety and microbiological quality of the food supply. Microorganisms in Foods 8 consists of two parts. Part I, Principles of Using Data in Microbial Control, builds on the principles of Microorganisms in Foods 7: Microbiological Testing in Food Safety Management (2002), which illustrates how HACCP and Good Hygienic Practices (GHP) provide greater assurance of safety than microbiological testing, but also identifies circumstances where microbiological testing may play a useful role. Part II, Specific Applications to Commodities, provides practical examples of criteria and other tests and is an updated and expanded version of Part II of Microorganisms in Foods 2: Sampling for Microbiological Analysis: Principles and Specific Applications (2nd ed. 1986). Part II also builds on the 2nd edition of Microorganisms in Foods 6: Microbial Ecology of Food Commodities (2005) by identifying appropriate tests to evaluation the effectiveness of controls.

Download or read book Food Microbiology Protocols written by John F. T. Spencer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the recent books in the Methods in Molecular Biology series, Yeast Protocols and Pichia Protocols, have been narrowly focused on yeasts and, in the latter case, particular species of yeasts. Food Microbiology Pro- cols, of necessity, covers a very wide range of microorganisms. Our book treats four categories of microorganisms affecting foods: (1) Spoilage organisms; (2) pathogens; (3) microorganisms in fermented foods; and (4) microorganisms p- ducing metabolites that affect the flavor or nutritive value of foods. Detailed information is given on each of these categories. There are several chapters devoted to the microorganisms associated with fermented foods: these are of increasing importance in food microbiology, and include one bacteriophage that kills the lactic acid bacteria involved in the manufacture of different foods—cottage cheese, yogurt, sauerkraut, and many others. The other nine chapters give procedures for the maintenance of lactic acid bacteria, the isolation of plasmid and genomic DNA from species of Lac- bacillus, determination of the proteolytic activity of lactic acid bacteria, det- mination of bacteriocins, and other important topics.

Download or read book South American camelids research written by Eduardo Frank and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South American camelids (Llamas, Alpacas, Vicuñas and Guanacos) are receiving increased interest not only in South America but also on a worldwide scale. They possess some unique features such as their fine fibre and healthy meat, and their high adaptivity to many climatic regions across the world. Apart from the important productive aspects, their physical attractiveness and friendly temperament also makes them popular as pet animals. There are still many gaps in the scientific literature with regard to South American camelids. In part, this gap can be diminished by this collection of papers which brings the experience of both European and South American researchers working together. The main themes considered in this book are the following: nutrition and feeding, meat production and the meat market, ecology, fibre production and the fibre market, animal breeding, animal health and pathology and socio-economical aspects. The particular advantages of South American camelids for the sustainable use of fragile ecosystems with native pastures are also outlined. 'South American camelids research' is aimed at scientists and animal breeders as well as students studying veterinary, animal and applied biological sciences. It can be of further reference to farmers and traders of fibre and meat products. Please note that most articles are written in Spanish.

Book excerpt: Since the publication of the second volume of Microorganisms in Foods, technological changes in food production and processing, increases in convenience and ready-to-eat foods, the globalization of the food industry and the recognition of new pathogenic microorganisms have necessitated an updated examination of the spoilage and safety aspects of foods. The recent escalation of media interest and public concern about food poisoning has highlighted the need for thorough and coherent, information to be provided to food microbiologists working in industry, government and education.

Download or read book Waste Stabilization Ponds in Latin America written by Miguel R. Pena and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 2002-05-31 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waste stabilization ponds and related natural wastewater treatment technologies are now widely seen as practical options to solve water quality problems. These systems can also contribute to tackling growing water shortages by enabling significant water reuse (and often nutrient recovery). These benefits are particularly relevant in regions such as Latin America which are facing continuous change in policy and regulation affecting water, sanitation and environmental management, yet are also characterised by a low public service coverage, particularly in low-income urban communities and rural settlements. Thus Latin American countries are at the forefront of the worldwide trend to the use of pond treatment systems. Countries such as Brazil, Cuba and Peru have considerable experience in pond technology, while countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Venezuela are implementing new systems. To understand the developments taking place the 1st IWA Regional Conference was held, bringing together scientists, engineers and professionals from several disciplines. From the papers presented 17, from across Latin America and beyond, have been selected for these proceedings that summarise the latest advances in ponding technology.
