Course Objectives and Outlines
Objectives:
The objective of the course, as implied by the course content above, is to introduce fundamental food microbology concepts primarily to biochemical engineers and future scientist. The course does assume any biological background or required pre-course in General Microbiology (FBT2029) or equivalent. This course contains sections of microbial introductions, physiology, beneficial applications, food spoilage, controls of microbes, etc. Eventually, students obtain knowledge on fundamental food microbiology and a power to utilize microorganisms in the food biotechnology. Furthermore, this course is linked to the next courses: Food Bioprocessing Engineering, Food Preservations, Microbial Metabolic Engineering.
Pre-requirement course
: General Microbiology (FBT2029), Food Microbiology (FBT2011) or equivalent.
