It will be available for all students offering undergraduate programme in B.Sc. Hotel and Catering Management at the School of Management Sciences. Microbiology has transformed our understanding of the world. Infectious diseases are well understood, prevented or cured now. Areas of interest which concern food microbiology are food poisoning, food spoilage, food legislation and food preservation. Pathogens in food result in major public health problems. Fermentation is a relatively efficient low energy preservation process which increases the shelf life and decreases the need for refrigeration or other forms of food preservation technology. Diligence in going through the course shall enable you to put the principles learnt into good practice. COURSE AIMS Upon satisfactory completion of his course, you should develop knowledge, understanding, and ability to apply food microbiology at an advanced level. You should also be able to determine how microorganisms impact on the quality and safety of foods and use microorganisms as processing aids and sources of food ingredients and additives. COURSE OBJECTIVES To achieve the course aims stated above, overall objectives for the course have been stated. In addition, each unit has specific objectives which are included at the beginning of each unit. You are encouraged to read them before you start working through the unit, during your study of the unit, refer to them to check on your progress. Also at the completion of the unit, you should look at them, so as to ensure that you have achieved the specific objectives for that unit. WORKING THROUGH THIS COURSE This is a two-credit course, so you are expected to spend a minimum of two hours on it weekly. It is expected that you complete the entire course between 18 – 25 weeks. i v HCM 431 COURSE GUIDE For a successful completion of this course, you are required to go through the study units, reference books, and other resources that are related to each unit. The Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMA) should be done immediately and submitted to the course facilitator. The medium and time for the submission of the TMA will be specified later. Below are the components of the course, what you have to do and how you should allocate your time to each unit in order to complete the course on time. COURSE MATERIALS Major components of the course are: 1. Course guide 2. Study units 3. Textbooks 4. Assignment file 5. Presentation schedule STUDY UNITS This course - HCM 431- consists of thirteen units grouped into three modules as shown below. Module 1 Unit 1 Overview of Microbiology Unit 2 Microbial Growth Unit 3 Food Microbiology Unit 4 Food Borne Pathogens and Sanitation Unit 5 Test Kit for Bacterial Count Module 2 Unit 1 Food Spoilage Unit 2 Spoilage: Meat and Fish Unit 3 Spoilage: Fruits and Vegetables Unit 4 Food Preservation Unit 5 Food Additives MODULE 3 Unit 1 Fermentation Unit 2 Microorganism Used in Food and Beverages Preparation Unit 3 Fermented Foods v HCM 431 COURSE GUIDE ASSESSMENT There are two aspects to the assessment for this course; the first is the tutor-marked assignment; and the second aspect is the e-examination. Within each unit are self - assessment exercises which aimed at helping you to check your understanding as you proceed. Try to attempt each of the exercises before finding out the expected answers from literature. TUTOR – MARKED ASSESSMENT (TMA) This is your continuous assessment exercise and it accounts for 30% of your total score. You are expected to answer at least four sets of TMA before you sit for the end of course examination. Your best three TMAs will account for the 30 % of the total score. FINAL EXAMINATION AND GRADING The end of course examination would earn you 70% which would be added to your TMA score (30 %).The time of the examination would be communicated to you. When you are successful in your examination, then you have completed the course in food and beverage production..It is believed that you would apply this knowledge in hotel and tourism industry. GETTING THE BEST FROM THIS COURSE In open and distance learning, the study units are specially designed to replace the conventional face-to-face lecture. This is one of the great advantages of distance learning. You can read and work through the specially designed study materials at your own pace, and at a time and place that suits you best. Think of it as you read the lecture and that a lecturer might set you some readings to do. The study will tell you when to read your other materials. Just as a lecturer might give you an in-class exercise, your study units also provide exercise for you to do at appropriate times. Each of the study units follows a common format. The first item is an introduction to the subject matter of the unit, and how a particular unit is related with the other units and the course as a whole. Next is a set of learning objectives. These objectives let you know what you should be able to do by the time you have completed the unit. You should use these objectives to guide your study. When you have finished the unit, you must go back and check whether you have achieved the vi HCM 431 COURSE GUIDE objectives. If you make a habit of doing this, you will significantly improve your chances of passing the course. The main body of the unit guides you through the required reading from other sources. This will usually be either from a reading section or some other sources. Self-assessment exercises are interspersed throughout the end of units. Working through these exercises will help you achieve the objectives of the unit and prepare you for the assignments and the examinations. You should do each exercise as you come to it in the study unit. There will also be numerous examples given in the study units, work through these when you come to them too. The following is a practical strategy for working through the course. If you run into any trouble, telephone your tutor. When you need help, do not hesitate to call and ask your tutor to provide it. In summary, 1. Read this course guide 2. Organise a study schedule. Refer to the course overview for more details. Note the time you are expected to spend on each unit and how the assignments relate to the unit. Important information e.g. details of your tutorials, and the date of the first day of the semester is available. You need to gather together all information in one place, such as your diary or a wall calendar. Whatever method you choose to use, you should decide on and write in your own date for working on each unit. 3. Once you have created your own study schedule, do everything you can to stick to it. The major reason that students fail is that they get behind in their course work. If you get into difficulties with your schedule, please let your facilitator know before it is too late for help. 4. Turn to unit one and read the introductions and the objectives for the unit. 5. Assemble the study materials. Information about what you need for a unit is given in the “overview” at the beginning of each unit. You will always need both the study unit you are working on and at least one of your reference textbooks on your desks at the same time. 6. Work through the unit. The content of the unit itself has been arranged to provide a sequence for you to follow. As you work through this unit, you will be instructed to read sections from your reference books or other articles. Use the unit to guide your readings. vii HCM 431 COURSE GUIDE 7. Well before the relevant due dates (about 4 weeks before the dates) access the assignment file to download your next required assignment. Keep in mind that you will learn a lot by doing the assignments carefully. They are designed to help you meet the objectives of the course and, therefore, will help you pass the examination. Submit all assignments not later than the due dates. 8. Review the objectives for each study unit to confirm that you have achieved them. If you feel unsure about any of the objectives, review the study material or consult your tutor. 9. When you are confident that you have achieved a unit’s objectives, you can then start on the next unit.

  • Fermented Foods

    Fermented Foods

    Chapter 6 Fermented Foods Fermentation in food processing is the process of converting carbohydrate to alcohol or organic acids using microorganisms, yeasts or bacteria-under anaerobic conditions. Fermented foods are rich in probiotic bacteria so by consuming fermented foods the health of gut microbiome and digestive system can increase and also can enhances the immune system. Sauerkraut Sauerkraut is a finely cut raw cabbage that has been fermented by lactic acid bacteria. It is made by a process of pickling called lactic acid fermentation. The cabbage is finely shredded, layered with salt and left to ferment. Fully cured sauerkraut keeps for several months in an airtight container stored at 150C or below. The fermentation process involves three phases. In the first phase, anaerobic bacteria such as Klebsiella and Enterobacter lead the fermentation and beginning to produce an acidic environment that favors later bacteria. The second phase starks as the acid levels becomes too high for many bacteria and Leuconostoc mesenteroides and other Leuconostoc spp. take dominance. In the third phase, various Lactobacillus species including L. brevis and L. plantarum ferment any remaining sugars, further lowering the pH. Properly cured sauerkraut is sufficiently acidic to prevent a favorable environment for the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the toxins of which cause botulism. Tempeh Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian Soy product made from fermented Soybeans. The principal step in making tempeh is the fermentation of soybeans which undergo inoculation with Rhizopus spp. mold Rhizopus oligosporus. The beans are spread into a thin layer and are allowed to ferment for 24-36 hours at a temperature around 300C.

Dr. Shelley M. Mark, Director Department of Planning and Economic Development State of Hawaii The very title of my talk this morning indicates that Hawaii once did have a taro industry. This will undoubtedly be substantiated by talks which will be given later in the day. However, I would like to point out that insofar as statistics are concerned, Hawaii had over 1,000 acres in taro production in 1948, but by 1963 this acreage had been reduced to 480. Why this reduction in production has occurred, I cannot specifically answer, but perhaps I can point to a few of the reasons. Prior to World War II, taro flour was produced and shipped to the Mainland. As late as 1952 Dr. Glaser, our principal speaker of the day, attested to the fact that "a number of doctors. on the mainland had used the taro flour prior to World War II, principally in allergy work, and still enthusiastically endorse it." Through the closing of the taro flour mill, the demand for taro production would automatically have been decreased, thus reducing the acreage re­ quirements.

We reconciled these de novo species with on January 24, 2020 at University of Antwerp - Library published species and subspecies names by (i) identifying genomes of type strains and (ii) comparing 16S rRNA genes of the genomes with 16S rRNA genes of type strains. We found that genomes within the LGC could be divided into 239 de novo species that were discontinuous and exclusive. Comparison of these de novo species to published species led to the identification of nine sets of published species that can be merged and one species that can be split.

This study evaluated the taxonomy of Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae on the basis of whole genome sequences. Parameters that were evaluated included core genome phylogeny, (conserved) pairwise average amino acid identity, clade- specific signature genes, physiological criteria and the ecology of the organisms. Based on this polyphasic approach, we propose reclassification of the genus Lactobacillus into 25 genera including the emended genus Lactobacillus, which includes host- adapted organisms that have been referred to as the Lactobacillus delbrueckii group, Paralactobacillus and 23 novel genera for which the names Holzapfelia, Amylolactobacillus, Bombilactobacillus, Companilactobacillus, Lapidilactobacillus, Agrilactobacil- lus, Schleiferilactobacillus, Loigolactobacilus, Lacticaseibacillus, Latilactobacillus, Dellaglioa,

During the nineteenth century, the taste of foods like poi became a subject of debate among newcomers to the archipelago, who used the language of disgust, queerness, and civility to distinguish Euro-American whiteness from indigeneity through foodways. While discourses about the palatability of poi were, and still are, typically couched in the language of personal preference, an examination of historical sources reveal settler abjection to instead be a culturally conditioned approach to Native taste and foodways.
