Synopsis
This course covers the role and significance of microorganisms in foods and environment, factors affecting their growth in foods, effects of food processing and preservation techniques on the growth and survival of microorganisms, microbial activities as a causal agent for food poisoning and spoilage, microbial quality of food and water, indicator organisms and HACCP, probiotics and beneficial microorganisms.

Learning Results: Students will be able to:
1. Explain factors that influence the growth of micro-organism in food (C4)
2. Relate the processing and reservation effects on the survival of microorganism in food (C5)
3. Evaluate the significance of various types of micro-organism and the application in food (C6)
4. Evaluate the suitable methods to analyse the microbiology in food (P6)
5. Work as a team in solving problems emanating from micro-organism (A4,
CTPS, TS)
