Learning outcomes of the course :
|
||
| * At the end of this course, the student will know the main characteristics of biological agents foods: taxonomy, physiology, virulence, reservoirs, sources of contamination, foods associated control measures.
* He should also be able to propose solutions to fight against pathogens and spoilage flora and sought to promote positive micro-organisms in the main food categories * Finally, he will know the procedure and will be able to perform a simple exercise of food quantitative microbiological risk assessment. |
