| Resumen: |
The Compendium is a primary reference for all food microbiology testing laboratories. Encompassing pathogens, spoilage microorganisms, and beneficial microorganisms, the Compendium is a unique reference for the microbiological analysis of foods. All microorganisms of relevance to food safety and quality—the bacteria, yeasts, molds, viruses, parasites—are represented in this manual. The Compendium not only collects methods for the individual microorganisms but also covers information relevant to the various food commodities. Since the publication of the fourth edition in 2001, there have been numerous advances in the field of analytical food microbiology and significant changes relating to food safety and public health. In the fifth edition, content has been updated to keep up with the many technological innovations and improvements in the microbiological analysis of foods.
The fifth edition has been organized into sections: General Methods, Physiological Groups of Microorganisms, Microbial Genera, Food Commodities, Reference, and Appendix, with each section containing new or updated chapters. Methods for analyzing cell injury and detection of injured cells, featured in earlier editions, have been revisited and updated anew. The number of products incorporating probiotics has increased significantly in the market in recent years, and analytical methods for these microorganisms are included in the new edition for the first time. Cronobacter (formerly known as Enterobacter) sakazakii has emerged as a pathogen and has been given its own chapter. Among the Food Commodities chapters is a new one covering pet foods and animal feed, in recognition of the link between the microbiological safety of these foods and public health. Furthermore, extending its reach into the world of alcoholic beverages, the Compendium includes a new chapter devoted to the microbiological methods for wine and beer. Lastly, this new edition is available both in print and digital formats. |
