Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food. This includes the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage (food spoilage and quality); pathogens that may cause disease (food safety); and microbes used to produce fermented foods (food fermentation), such as cheese, yogurt, bread, and wine. Food microbiology can also include microbes with other useful roles, such as producing probiotics. In general, food microbiology plays a vital role throughout the cycle of food production, starting from the stage of animal or agricultural farming to food processing, packaging, preservation, storage, food preparation, food consumption, digestion, and finally food waste management. This Special Issue will be dedicated to provide current information related to advances in food microbiology and its role in food processing, and aims to investigate all of the various roles of microorganisms in food production and processing, such as methods for the identification, enumeration, and elimination of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria or fungi, the assessment of the survival of microorganisms in various treatments, the detection of bacterial or fungal toxins, bacterial spores, the antimicrobial effects of various compounds, microbial kinetics, food and beverage fermentations, the microencapsulation of probiotics, the interaction of gut microbiota with food components, the microbial biotechnological and bioconversion processes of foods, the production of microbial proteins, the microbial exploitation of food waste, and other possible approaches.
