What you will learn
Microbiology is the study of small living things called microorganisms (a.k.a. microbes), which can only be seen using a microscope. Despite their size, microbes play an important role in the food and beverage industries, affecting them in both positive and negative ways. In this course, you will learn the key ways in which microorganisms impact the food and beverage industry and manufacturing best practices to maintain sanitary conditions.
Course Objectives
Define microbiology and microbes, as well as identify the different types of microbes and where they can be found
Explain how microbes impact the food and beverage industry
Implement efficient manufacturing processes while maintaining sanitary conditions
Evaluate key control strategies to minimize microbe growth and cross-contamination in food and beverage manufacturing
