Psychrotrophs in food science
A vlog about psychrotrophy and it’s importance in microbiology, food microbiology and food science, from the perspective of food safety and food quality.
foodborne disease
Food as a microbial growth substrate
Microorganisms can effect many changes in food, both directly and indirectly. Hear how that happens from Dr Philip Button.
Predictive modelling in food microbiology
A real-world application of mathematics, predictive modelling of the growth of primarily pathogenic bacteria is an absolutely essential element of controlling foodborne disease. This helps in designing controls to ensure the microbiological safety of foods.
Concepts of food microbiology
A quarter of an hour introduction to food microbiology.
Safe food preparation
There are many opportunities for food to become contaminated during preparation, either by food service staff and in the home. Adoption of some simple and straight-forward food safety practices can help minimise the chances of foodborne disease.
