Fermentation and Food Safety covers the issues and
processes that influence and affect the safety of fermented foods.
Beginning with an explanation of fermented foods, basic safety issues,
and the HACCP system, this contributed volume explores fermented foods
associated with food-borne illnesses, including details of specific
cases, causative agents, and the underlying reasons for their
presence. The book deals individually with relevant chemical and
microbiological hazards that may threaten public health, covering
severity, rate of occurrence, introduction into foods, foods
specifically at risk, and conditions that remove or inactivate these
hazards. 'Fermentation and Food Safety' also looks at the impact of
currently employed and novel fermentation processes and starters on
hazards, with a specific focus on biotechnology issues. This unique
reference is pertinent to the safe production of fermented foods at
all scales, with all major food groups, and should be a valuable
resource for anyone involved in research, processing, safety, or
quality of fermented foods.
