Food microbiology
• Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food and the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage.
• What is the importance of food microbiology?• To study microorganism causing food
spoilage,fermentation,and yeast production essention in food production

• What is Microbiology?• Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, that
exist as single cells or cell clusters; it also includes viruses, which are microscopic but not cellular.
• Parasite• Living organism that live in or on a host that
provide physical protection and nourishment.term usually applied to protozoans and helminths
• What is Parasitology?WALTER WAKHUNGU WASWA 10

Roles of microorganisms found in food
Spoilage, fermentation, food production. Microorganisms are used in brewing,
winemaking, baking, pickling and other food-making processes.
They are also used to control the fermentation process in the production of cultured dairy products such as yogurt and cheese. The cultures also provide flavour and aroma, and inhibit undesirable organisms.
Do you think bacteria can be consumed as prophylactic measures?

Synopsis of mould• Molds are filamentous fungi that grow in the form of a tangled
mass that spreads rapidly and may cover several inches of area in 2 to 3 days.
• The total of the mass or any large portion of it is referred to as mycelium. Mycelium is composed of branches or filaments referred to as hyphae.
• Those of greatest importance in foods multiply by ascospores, zygospores, or conidia.

Composition and pH
• putrefaction– proteolysis and anaerobic breakdown of proteins,
yielding foul-smelling amine compounds
• pH impacts make up of microbial community and therefore types of chemical reactions that occur when microbes grow in food

Water availability• in general, lower water activity inhibits microbial
growth• water activity lowered by:– drying– addition of salt or sugar
• osmophilic microorganisms– prefer high osmotic pressure
• xerophilic microorganisms– prefer low water activity

Microbial Growth and Food Spoilage
• food spoilage– results from growth of microbes in food• alters food visibly and in other ways, rendering it
unsuitable for consumption– involves predictable succession of microbes– different foods undergo different types of spoilage
processes– toxins are sometimes produced• algal toxins may contaminate shellfish and finfish

Food Spoilage•Approximately 1/3rd of all food manufactured in world is lost to spoilage•Microbial content of foods (microbial load): qualitative (which bugs) and quantitative (how many bugs)•Shelf life
•Non-perishable foods (pasta)•Semiperishable foods (bread)•Perishable foods (eggs)

>>>>Food Microbiology• Foodborne Illnesses– Due to consumption of spoiled foods or foods
containg harmful microbes or their products– Two categories of food poisoning• Food infections
– Consumption of living microorganisms• Food intoxications
– Consumption of microbial toxins rather than the microbe
– Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, fatigue, and muscle cramps

FOOD POISONING1. Food intoxication: Illness is caused by ingestion
of food with• preformed toxin. Examples of food intoxication• Bacillus cereus 1-6 hours Vomiting, cramp Rice,
Pasta dishes• Staphylococcus aureus 2-4 hours Vomiting Meat,
Salads• Clostridium botulinum 12-72 hours Flaccid

Incidence in Delicatessen and related foods
• Delicatessen foods, such as salads and sandwiches, are sometimes involved in food-poisoning outbreaks. These foods are often prepared by hand, and this direct contact may lead to an increased incidence of food poisoning agents such as Staphylococcus. Once organisms such as these enter meat salads or sandwiches, they may grow well because of the reduction in numbers of the normal food biota by the prior cooking of salad ingredients. 92WALTER WAKHUNGU WASWA

Microbiological examination of food
• Sampling• It is important to not
that samples of foods collected for microbiological analysis should reflect the microbiological condition at the time of collection. This implies that
• Sampling should be carried out aseptically
• Samples should be protected against extraneous contamination
• Moreover, samples must be held under conditions thatpermit neither die off nor multiplication of the original
• microflora present in the food. 116WALTER WAKHUNGU WASWA

Terms used
• A LOT:Is a quantity of food produced and handled under uniform
• condition. This means that food produced within a batch or
• in a continuous process a food produced within a limited
• period of time
• FILED SAMPLE:The amount of material actually used in the analysis of food for
microorganisms. The sample unit is recommended to be 25 g for
all types of food

PROTOZOA• Giardiasis Giardia lamblia is a flagellate
protozoan that exists in environmental waters.
• The protozoal cells (trophozoites) produce cysts, which are the primary forms in water and foods.
• Upon ingestion, Giardia cysts excyst in the• gastrointestinal tract with the aid of stomach
acidity and proteases and give rise to clinical giardiasis in some individuals.

• Excystation of the trophozoites occurs somewhere in the upper small intestine, and this step is regarded as being equivalent to a virulence factor.
• The trophozoites are not actively phagocytic, and they obtain their nutrients by absorption. Occasionally, bile ducts are invaded, leading to cholecystitis.

• Giardiasis is a highly contagious disease. Ithas been documented in daycare centers whereunsanitary conditions prevailed. The human
infection rate ranges from 2.4% to 67.5%.18 The minimum infectious dose of G. lamblia cysts for humans is 10 or less.

Giardiasis is diagnosed by the demonstration• of trophozoites in stool specimen by
microscopic examinations using either wet mounts or stained specimens. G. lamblia can be grown in axenic culture, but this does not lend itself to rapid diagnosis.

Amebiasis
• Amebiasis (amoebic dysentery), caused byEntamoeba histolytica, is often transmitted bythe fecal-oral route, although transmission isknown to occur by water, food handlers, andFoods.• In warm stools from a case of active dysentery, E.
histolytica is actively motile and usually contains red blood cells that the protozoan ingests by pseudopodia.

• Domestic and wild cats are the only definitive hosts for the intestinal or sexual phase of this organism, making them the primary sources of human toxoplasmosis. Normally, the disease is transmitted from cat to cat, but virtually all vertebrate animals are susceptible to the oocysts shed by cats. As few as 100 oocysts can produce clinical toxoplasmosis in humans, and the oocysts can survive over a year in warm, moist environments.

• Control• Toxoplasmosis in humans can be prevented by
avoiding environmental contamination withcat feces and by avoiding the consumption of
meat and meat products that contain viable tissue cysts. The cysts of 7. gondii can be destroyed by heating meats above 600C or by irradiating at a level of 30 krad (0.3 kGy) or higher. The organism may be destroyed by freezing.

genus Sarcocystis, two are known to cause anextraintestinal disease in humans. One of these is
obtained from cattle (S. hominis) and the other from pigs (S. suihominis). Humans are the definitive hosts for both species; the intermediate host for S. hominis is bovines, and pigs for S. suihominis.When humans ingest a sarcocyst, bradyzoites are released and penetrate the lamina propria of the small intestine, where sexual reproduction occurs that leads to sporocysts. 179WALTER WAKHUNGU WASWA

Cryptosporidiosis• The protozoan Cryptosporidiunparvum was
first described in asymptomatic mice, and for decades now it has been known to be a pathogen of at least 40 mammals and varying numbers of reptiles and birds. Although the first documented human case was not recorded until 1976, this disease has a worldwide prevalence of 1-4% among patients with diarrhea,96 and it appears to be increasing.

• The prevalence of C. parvum in diarrheal stools is similar to that of Giardia lamblia. In humans, the disease is self-limiting in immunocompetent individuals, but it is a serious infection in the immunocompromised, such as AIDS patients. The protozoan is known to be present in at least some bodies of water and thus exists the potential for food transmission.The fecal-oral route of transmission is the most important, but indirect transmission by food and milk is known to occur.

• C. parvum carries out its life cycle in onehost. Following ingestion of the thick-walledoocysts, they excyst in the small intestine andfree sporozoites that penetrate the microvillousregion of host enterocytes, where sexual
reproduction leads to the development of zygotes.
