INTRODUCTION
Definition
Microorganisms
Organisms that are distinct form macroorganisms
Diverse group
Exist as single cells (unicellular) or in cell clusters
(multicellular)
Microbiology
The basic science of understanding microbial life
The applications of science to human needs.
Introduction: The importance of
Microbiology
Characteristics :
Using whole microorganisms to preserve or
prolong shelf life of foods
2. Pasteur Era
Example :
1. Ethanol
2. Butanol
3. Organic Acid
1. Penicillin Production
2. Viral Vaccine
1. Amino Acids
4. Enzyme
1. Genetic Engineering
2. Metabolic Engineering
3. Monoclonal Antibody
Positive
(desirable):
1. Fermented Foods
2. Metabolite Producers
3. Host Cell
Negative
(undesirable) :
1. Food Spoilage
2. Food borne diseases
MICROBES IN FOODS
Food spoilage
Fermented foods
Moldy Spam
Foodborne Intoxication
Staphylococcus aureus
Clostridium botulinum
Foodborne Infection
requires consumption of microorganism
symptomatic about 1 day following ingestion
of contaminated food
common foodborne infecting microorganisms
Salmonella and Campylobacter
• poultry product infections
Escherichia coli 0157:H7
• undercooked hamburger
Campylobacter Salmonella
