Sommario/riassunto

The new seventh edition of Micro-Facts has been fully reviewed and updated to incorporate changes in the technical literature. A key change in the seventh edition is the addition of new sections on mycotoxins, food-spoilage yeasts, and factors affecting the growth of micro-organisms. A glossary of microbiological terms has also been added, together with information on twelve food-spoilage moulds that were not featured in the previous edition. The emphasis of this hugely successful book continues to be serving the needs of the food industry, whether manufacturer, retailer or caterer.
