Course Content (Syllabus)
The course includes lectures and hands-on computer training to explain the principles of predictive food microbiology and microbial risk assessment (MRA). In the first part of the course the students are trained to develop predictive models for spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms as well as to use the available predictive modeling software. They further apply the models in their project work for new product development, self life assessment, compliance to microbiological criteria and establishment of critical limits in HACCP system based on both deterministic and stochastic approaches. The second part of the course provides a multi-disciplinary approach to microbiological risk assessment covering hazard characterization risk characterization, exposure assessment and risk characterization.. The aim is to introduce the students to the concept of risk analysis as applied in national and international food safety and enable them to understand the use of risk assessment in risk management.
