About This Course

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of microorganisms in food, including bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses, and their impact on food safety and quality. Participants will learn how microorganisms grow, survive, and affect food through spoilage and foodborne diseases, as well as their beneficial roles in certain food processes. The course also covers practical approaches to detect, control, and prevent harmful microorganisms using food safety systems, hygiene practices, and preservation techniques to ensure safe and high-quality food products.

What You'll Learn

Identify the main types of microorganisms associated with food and their significance in the food industry.
Differentiate between pathogens, spoilage microorganisms, and beneficial microorganisms.
Understand the factors affecting microbial growth and survival in food, including temperature, pH, water activity, and oxygen.
Understand the FAT TOM concept and use it to evaluate conditions that support microbial growth.
Identify major foodborne pathogens, their sources, transmission routes, and commonly associated foods.
Understand the characteristics and significance of major foodborne bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium, Bacillus, and Vibrio.
Understand the role of yeasts, moulds, viruses, and parasites in food safety and spoilage.
Understand sources of microbial contamination and how microorganisms spread within food manufacturing environments.
Understand microbiological sampling principles and how to obtain representative samples without contamination.
Understand the basic principles of culture methods, microbial enumeration, and detection.
Understand indicator organisms and what their results can reveal about processes and products.
Understand microbiological criteria and how to read and interpret microbiological results.
Understand the fundamentals of Environmental Monitoring Programs (EMP) and the importance of environmental sampling in food manufacturing.
Understand the relationship between hygiene zoning and environmental sampling locations.
Understand how heating, chilling, freezing, drying, and preservation affect microbial growth and survival.
Understand how time, temperature, pH, and water activity can be used to control microbiological hazards.
Connect microbiological knowledge with GMP, HACCP, and food safety decision-making in manufacturing.
Analyze practical microbiological cases and results and determine appropriate actions when unacceptable results occur.
