What will you learn?
We start with some introductions
We’ll introduce you to bacteria, molds and yeasts, the microorganisms of focus in this course. We’ll explain how they differ from each other and we’ll dig into their basic structures and characteristics.
The “good” and the “bad”
Next up we’ll look into several specific microorganisms that are very common in food. We’re making a distinction between the ‘good’, those microorganisms we need and use to make food (better), and the ‘bad’, those microorganisms that make us sick. We will look specifically at when and where they thrive.
Controlling it all
Lastly, we’ll look at how to control all these microorganisms. How do we prevent some from growing and provide the perfect environment for others to thrive!
