Opis

Based on lab experiments developed for food science and microbiology courses at the University of Massachusetts, this manual presents well-tested and outlined experiments for use in a one-semester introductory food microbiology course. It also features 14 exercises that incorporate traditional and rapid method testing techniques.

Recenzje

"The descriptions follow a standard format that includes detailed, well written instructions, a technical background and model discussion questions. The exercises could easily be incorporated into any food, or general, microbiology course and would certainly be of value to the less experienced, or to those becoming involved with food microbiology for the first time."
