Protective cultures, antimicrobial metabolites and bacteriophages for food and beverage biopreservation i © Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2011 1 Related titles: 2 Foodborne pathogens: hazards, risk analysis and control Second edition 3 (ISBN 978-1-84569-362-6) 4 Effective control of pathogens continues to be of great importance to the food 5 industry. The first edition of Foodborne pathogens quickly established itself as an 6 essential guide for all those involved in the management of microbiological hazards 7 at any stage in the food production chain. This major new edition strengthens that 8 reputation, with extensively revised and expanded coverage, including more than ten 9 new chapters. Part I focuses on risk assessment and management in the food chain. 10 Chapters in this section cover pathogen detection, microbial modelling the risk 1 assessment procedure, pathogen control in primary production, hygienic design and 2 sanitation, among other topics. Parts II and III then review the management of key 3 bacterial and non-bacterial foodborne pathogens. 4 Natural antimicrobials for the minimal processing of foods 5 (ISBN 978-1-85573-669-6) 6 Consumers demand food products with fewer synthetic additives but 7 increased safety and shelf-life. These demands have increased the importance 8 of natural antimicrobials which prevent the growth of pathogenic and spoilage 9 micro-organisms. Edited by a leading expert in the field, this important collection 20 reviews the range of key antimicrobials together with their applications in food 1 processing. There are chapters on antimicrobials such as nisin and chitosan, 2 applications in such areas as postharvest storage of fruits and vegetables, and 3 ways of combining antimicrobials with other preservation techniques to enhance 4 the safety and quality of foods. 5 Food preservation techniques 6 (ISBN 978-1-85573-530-9) 7 Extending the shelf-life of foods while maintaining safety and quality is a critical 8 issue for the food industry. As a result there have been major developments in food 9 preservation techniques, which are summarised in this authoritative collection. The 30 first part of the book examines the key issue of maintaining safety as preservation 1 methods become more varied and complex. The rest of the book looks both at 2 individual technologies and how they are combined to achieve the right balance of 3 safety, quality and shelf-life for particular products. 4 5 Details of these books and a complete list of Woodhead’s titles can be obtained by: 6 • visiting our web site at www.woodheadpublishing.com 7 • contacting Customer Services (e-mail: [email protected]; fax: +44 8 (0) 1223 893694; tel.: +44 (0) 1223 891358 ext. 130; address: Woodhead Publishing 9 Limited, Abington Hall, Granta Park, Great Abington, Cambridge CB21 6AH, UK 40 1 If you would like to receive information on forthcoming titles, please send 2 your address details to: Francis Dodds (address, tel. and fax as above, e-mail: 43 [email protected]).
