Microbial Stress Adaptation and Food Safety
edited by Ahmed E. Yousef and Vijay K. Juneja
Features of Microbial Stress Adaptation and Food Safety:
- Provides the first in-depth study of stress adaptation and its implications for the safety of minimally and non-thermally processed foods
- Assesses the problems associated with stress adaptation
- Proposes practical solutions to overcome the microbial stress phenomenon
Microbial Stress Adaptation and Food Safety emphasizes the implications of stress adaptation and its consequences for food safety. It covers the basic science, kinetics, mechanisms, assessment, and control of stress adaptation and its impact on the safety of foods produced by minimal processing or non-thermal technologies.
