This unit considers the role of microorganisms in the production, deterioration and safety of foods, from both ecological and physiological perspectives, including the effect of temperature, pH, water activity and other factors on the growth and decline of microbial populations in foods. Specific topics include: - microbial physiology and ecology relevant to foods - microbial spoilage processes...

Provides Master of Applied Science students with knowledge of the role of microorganisms in the production, deterioration and safety of foods, from both ecological and physiological perspectives, including the effect of temperature, pH, water activity and other factors affecting the growth and decline of microbial cells and populations in foods. Underlying microbiological science will be...

The safety and wholesomeness of food is a critical element of a prosperous and healthy society. Consumers expect food to be grown, processed, and handled in ways that maintain high quality and safety standards. This is achieved, in part, through development of food standards implemented through food regulations that establish performance and process criteria related to foodborne hazards along the...

These units are designed to develop knowledge and skills in research oriented towards food safety, beyond those gained in undergraduate courses. Students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge through an individual research project focussed on ‘real-world' or 'industry relevant’ problems, or issues. Students will be taught by a range of experts with outstanding research and...

Food safety comprises a broad range of scientific endeavours that are important in human society. Maintenance of food security and public health requires vigilance in the food supply, including safety, traceability, epidemiology and the ecology of food-borne pathogens. The science also involves the application of knowledge related to food fermentation, processing techniques, manufacturing, and...

Food production, access, use and resilience of supply in globally diverse contexts will be discussed and investigated. Cases studies will be explored from Africa, Asia, Europe, America and Australia to illustrate the complexity and diversity in the production of and access to healthy food. Diverse setting will consider environment, climate, culture, socioeconomic status, urban, regionality and...
