(objectives)
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO ACQUAINT STUDENTS WITH THE ROLE OF MICROORGANISMS IN THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES OF FOOD PRODUCTS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF FOOD, THE FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE PRESENCE, GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF MICROORGANISMS IN FOOD AND ABILITY TO APPLY PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS FOR MICROBIOLOGICAL FOOD CONTROL. IN ADDITION, THE COURSE AIMS TO: RAISE AWARENESS OF THE MAJOR MICROBIAL GROUPS INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION OF FERMENTED FOODS AND THE GROWING SIGNIFICANCE STARTER; KNOW THE MAIN DISEASES ORIGINATING FROM MICROORGANISMS THROUGH THE CONSUMPTION OF FOOD AND MICROBIAL CHANGES OF FOOD; KNOW THE MICROORGANISMS RESPONSIBLE OF FOOD; UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS CONDUCTED BY SPONTANEOUS FERMENTATION AND FERMENTATION INOCULATED.
