Course Details
• Advanced Food Microbiology: Understanding the fundamentals of food microbiology, including the types of microorganisms that cause food spoilage and foodborne illnesses. This unit will cover the basics of microbial growth, survival, and die-off, as well as the factors that affect microbial behavior in food systems. • Food Microbial Risk Assessment: This unit will cover the principles of microbial risk assessment in food production, including the identification and evaluation of microbial hazards, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. Students will learn how to apply risk assessment frameworks to real-world food safety scenarios. • Food Safety Regulations and Standards: This unit will provide an overview of the regulatory framework for food safety, including the key international and national standards and guidelines. Students will learn how to comply with regulations related to microbial control in food production, and how to implement a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system. • Advanced Techniques for Food Preservation: This unit will cover the latest advances in food preservation techniques, including high-pressure processing, irradiation, and pulsed electric field technology. Students will learn how these techniques can be used to control microbial growth and improve food safety. • Food Microbial Detection and Monitoring: This unit will cover the latest methods for detecting and monitoring microbial contamination in food, including rapid methods such as PCR and biosensors. Students will learn how to design and implement a microbial monitoring program, and how to interpret and communicate test results. • Food Automation and Control Systems: This unit will cover the principles of automation and control systems in food production, including sensors, actuators, and feedback control. Students will learn how to design and implement automation systems to improve microbial control, reduce waste, and increase efficiency. • Advanced Food Microbial Modeling: This unit will cover the latest advances in food microbial modeling, including predictive models for microbial growth and inactivation. Students will learn how to develop and validate predictive models, and how to use them to optimize food production processes and improve food safety. • Food Microbial Ecology: This unit will cover the principles of food microbial ecology, including
