A Guide to Microorganisms and their control

by Dr Greg Jones

Overview

Details of the key growth characteristics of individual microorganisms and microbial groups - at your fingertips in a series of one-page summaries. Preliminary sections in the guideline tabulate microorganisms of concern by food type, and there is also a section on pasteurisation and other heat treatments.

About the Author

Greg Jones is a graduate in Biotechnology from Cardiff University, and has recently completed a PhD in Molecular Microbiology at Swansea University. His specialist areas include bioinformatics and genetic manipulation of microorganisms. He is currently working in Campden BRI’s microbiology department as a Senior Research Officer for the Preservation, Processing and Spoilage group. This group uses microbiological tests to determine the safe shelf life of foods, and is also increasingly involved in using predictive models to predict the growth of microbes in foods. Greg is currently investigating the potential for the extension of shelf life through “superchilling” products, as well as a novel culture-independent method of microbial community analysis.
