Opis

Providing comprehensive coverage, this book explores the expansive scope of food mycology and the broad role of fungi in daily food. It discusses post-harvest problems including fungal infection of living crops and novel techniques currently used to detect a fungal invasion. It addresses the fungal spore as an important vehicle for fungi distribution and presents extensive coverage of mycotoxins, fungi as hyperproducers of enzymes, and fungal spoilage. It also discusses food ecology, edible fungi, treatment of fungi in the workplace, and the most modern detection techniques such as PCR. This text makes an ideal resource for food scientists and researchers, mycologists, and plant pathologists.
