Food Microbiology
Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms which spoils and contaminates the food. The disease caused by pathogens or the microorganism are main because of the food which is improperly cooked or store. It cultivates microorganisms that have both useful and dangerous impact on food quality and safety and may therefore be of concern to public health. Preparation of food, including proper cooked, kills most microorganisms which cause infections in the food. Still, some poisons formed by pollutants may not be reason to convert intoning-toxic forms by hosting or cooking the defiled food. Temperature plays very pivotal part in controlling the microbial growth. To ensure food safety some microbial tests for pathogen and corruption microorganisms is needed.

Microbiology of Food Fermentations
Fermentation technology is determined as the metabolic process which involves the operation of microorganisms and enzymes for the product of composites that have operation in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industry. Fermentation occurs in certain types of anaerobic bacteria, fungi, and yeast and leads to contamination or spoil of food. The process of fermented is important to the food and libation diligence because excess heat and improper cooking can lead to the generation of dangerous poisons. The enzymes convert sugars into ethanol. Fermentation is an ancient technology extensively used in the preservation of food. It enhances the self- life and microbiological safety of food but may also make some foods more digestible and in the case of cassava turmoil reduces the toxin of the substrate. Lactic acid bacteria have limited metabolic characteristics which were involved in more fermentation processes of milk, meat, cereals, and vegetables. Fermented foods are the food substrates used by edible microorganisms whose enzymes like proteases, amylases, and lipases hydrolyze the polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins to make on-toxic products with aromas.

Predictive Microbiology
Predictive microbiology is a depiction of the responses of microorganisms to particular environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, and water activity. It uses mathematical models (built with data from laboratory testing) and computer software that graphically describe these responses. Predictive microbiology provides the condensed knowledge of traditional microbiology combined with the disciplines of statistics, mathematics and information systems, and technology to explain the microbial gets to help food corruption as well as food- borne illnesses. The microbial growth and their survival or death in foods is determined by the properties of food (e.g., water activity and pH) and the storage conditions (e.g., temperature, relative humidity, and atmosphere). It describes the microbial behavior in different environments and helps us understand and manage food- borne microorganisms' ecology. Predictive microbiology makes certain that the behavior of the microorganism is reproducible and quantifiable by characterizing environmental factors.

Food Safety and Control
Food Safety means to down the harm of people becoming sick from foodborne illness by proper running, preparation, and storehouse of foods. Every food association uses, processes, and sells food in several ways. The most aim of food safety is to avoid food impurity. no matter why you are managing the food, it's essential that always apply the proper food safety principles. If a food safety system is producing the food as safely as possible 100 of foodborne ails are frequently preventable an understanding of food safety is bettered by defining two other concepts- toxin and hazard. Toxin is that the capacity of a substance to give harm or injury of any kind under any conditions. Hazard is that the relative probability that detriment or injury will affect when a substance is not employed in a prescribed manner and volume. Hazards are frequently physical, chemical, and natural causing dangerous/ adverse effects on the health of consumers.
Food safety and quality are often assured through:
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Good Handling Practices (GHP)
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP)
Current Trends and Research in Nutrition and Food Science
Food Science helps in the preparation of nourishment particulars from the raw materials of rural areas that are sufficient for human utilization. A Food Scientist has the capability to change over these craw accoutrements into the protected, appealing nourishment items and drinks accessible on our grocery store racks. Nutrient Scientists continually look to enhance existing systems by which new particulars are created, prepared, bundled, put away, and transported. Food Science is a dynamic field to concentrate on that applies sciences, for example, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Microbiology to find optimal approaches to enhance the taste, nourishment, and nature of the world's aliment supply.

Food Nanotechnology
Food Nanotechnology is the process or grouping of every particle, molecule, and atomic bunches into structures to deliver materials with various properties. Various nanomaterials are formed that make a variation in food taste, food safety, and medical advantages. Silicate nanoparticles are delivered to provide an obstacle to humidity in a plastic film utilized for packing and consequently, food toxicity or drying is decreased. Researchers mostly make use of Nano-sensors that can easily identify microscopic organisms, for instance, Salmonella at a Packaging point.

Food Infections and Diseases
Foodborne infections, usually called food poisoning/ nourishment harming, are caused by eating or drinking food or water infected by microbes or the toxins produced by the microorganisms. They generally cause gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. There are many on-infectious causes of infections from contaminated food and a couple of microorganisms lead to infections away from within the alimentary canal. Food and water- borne contagious diseases is the foremost common of all severe infections. It happens round the world, and thus the circumstance varies from country to country. In recent times, the discovery of outbreaks of viral origin, particularly noroviruses, has been increasing worldwide. At least two affiliated cases of the suspected food or water- borne sickness must be accounted for within 24 hours of laboratory analysis (assumed or confirmed).

Food Safety and Hygiene
Food safety may be a science describing the running, preparation, and storehouse of food in ways in which prevent food- borne illness. This is often achieved through good hygiene and running practices. Food hygiene is that the conditions and measures necessary to make sure the security of food from product to consumption. Food might become contaminated at any point during slaughtering or harvesting, processing, storehouse, distribution, transportation, and preparation because of active bacteria. This ensures food is fit for mortal consumption and avoids gastrointestinal complaint, which is an acute, infectious or poisonous illness, generally of sudden onset, caused by the consumption of contaminated food or water. Food safety considerations include the source of food including the practices concerning food labelling, food hygiene, food additives, and pesticide residues, also as policies on biotechnology and food and guidelines for the operation of governmental import and import examination and instrument systems for foods.
Clean—Wash hands and surfaces often
Separate—don’t cross-contaminate.
Cook—Cook to proper temperatures, checking with a food thermometer.
Chill—refrigerate promptly.
Food Allergies
An uncomfortable response by the immune system to certain food or factors of food is called a food allergy. Common symptoms include itching, glowing, rashes, vomiting, or even diarrhea. Although any food can set off an allergic reaction, milk, eggs, and nuts are the most common sources. People allergic to certain food must make sure that they catch up on the nutrients by consuming alternatives in their diet.
Difficulty breathing
Low blood pressure
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Food Toxicology
Food toxicology deals with how natural or synthetic poisons and toxic in various food products caused dangerous, detrimental, or adverse side effect in living organisms. Food Toxicology securities colorful aspects of food safety and toxicology, including the study of the nature, properties, effect, and discovery of poisonous substances in food and their disease manifestations in humans. It'll also include the other phases of consumer product safety. Radioactive component, heavy mental, or the packaging materials utilized in food processing are samples of such substances. A food toxicologist not only studies toxicants that are present in food, but also the health goods of high nutrient inputs, and therefore the connection between manures and nutrients.
