Abstract

Food microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms that are used both in food and for food processing. This involves micro-organisms that contaminate food as well as those that are used to grow it; for example, yogurt, cheese, beer and wine. It is the study of the microorganism inhabiting, producing and contaminating the food. It also deals with the analysis of the micro-organisms which cause food spoilage. Probiotics is one of the most significant feeding stuff research aspects. It focuses on a wide range of existing microbial research that has both beneficial and deleterious effects on food safety and quality, and is therefore a public health issue. Microbiology is essential to food safety, production, processing, storage and preservation. Studies of Food Microbiology use a broad variety of current field technology, including immunology, microbiology, and molecular biology. Food Microbiology conducts important basic and applied work in the following areas:
