What conditions are most favourable for microbial food production?
Conditions of environment
Humidity
H20 Present
Moisture
Temperature
How does this affect growth?
Hot
Cold
Room temperature
Nutrients (All microorganisms require nutrients to live
Type
Amount
Optimum level ?
Do different microbial foods need different nutrients?
Is the nutrients added as well or
lack of / Pressure of O2 for fermentation process
Removal of waste
Type of food we are making?
Fermentation processes
Mould
Bacteria
pH levels used
Acidity
Types of food from microbes
Bread
Yoghurt
Cheese
Alcohols
Wines
Beers
Fish, Meats or vegetables
How do these factors change the growth of the bacteria ?
Microbial Food Production
Disadvantages ?
Advantages?
This type of food production involves live bacteria, moulds or yeast for example to create foods such as yoghurt or cheese.
Safety aspects of the use of microbes in food
Conditions of Environment: Basically the state the environment is in, some factors include temperature, humidity, air quality etc.
Do certain microbial foods consist of different ways for storage?
Microbes
A microorganism, especially a bacterium causing disease or fermentation
Can they be harmful to humans?
What diseases can it cause ?
Salmonella
Norovirus
Campylobacter
Safe for consumption ?
Optimul conditions for microbes to work efficiently in foods
Most Favourable
Advantageous to in this case microbial food production
Optimum Conditions
Variables?
How can different aspects be measured
Conditions naturally present in food termed intrinsic factors
Water availabiltity
pH
Biological Barriers
Nutrients
