Food Industrial Microbiology

Microorganisms are cultivated on a large scale for use as food and animal feed. Yeast, fungi, and algae are produced from readily cheap nutrient media but are good source of proteins, vitamins and other organic supplements. Food microbiology and fermentation industry does not only focus on the area of food production from microbes but also includes food borne diseases.  In recent years we are have scaled up production of bread, cheese, yogurt, cream, probiotics and prebiotics.
