Learning outcomes
Aim of this subject is to acquaint students with basic microbiological analyses of food, depending on valid standards ČSN ISO. Except checking of food, students will learn methods of checking analysis of drinkable water, additives in food industry, cosmetic materials and covers. Students will learn all of important microorganisms: positive and negative occurred in food industry, cosmetics and environment (air, water).
Absolvent will have overview of area of food industry, where microorganisms plays essential role. They will obtain basic skills of detection and determination of microorganisms, which are the reason of food decay, and of pathogens, which can occur in food. Absolvent will be able to choose the respective method of their determination and will orientate in ČSN ISO standards.
