Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2a470a/foodborne_pathogen) has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new report "Foodborne Pathogens" to their offering.
Effective control of pathogens continues to be of great importance to the food industry. The first edition of Foodborne pathogens quickly established itself as an essential guide for all those involved in the management of microbiological hazards at any stage in the food production chain. This major new edition strengthens that reputation, with extensively revised and expanded coverage, including more than ten new chapters. Part 1 focuses on risk assessment and management in the food chain. Chapters in this section cover pathogen detection, microbial modelling the risk assessment procedure, pathogen control in primary production, hygienic design and sanitation, among other topics. Parts 2 and 3 then review the management of key bacterial and non-bacterial foodborne pathogens.
Key Topics Covered:
Part 1 Risk assessment and management in the food chain: Introduction
- Detecting pathogens in food
- Modeling the growth, survival and death of microbial pathogens in foods
