• Food Science : An advanced level food microbiology course providing a perspective on advanced topics in food microbiology (microbial biofilms, antimicrobial resistance, bacterial endospores) and describing the fundamental principles of advanced techniques in food microbiology (microbiological, biochemical, immunological, genetics methods). (mcgill.ca)
  • Food contamination challenges are generally referred to the presence of microorganisms or derived toxic substances such as mycotoxin in food that make them unsafe for human, animals, and crops. (intechopen.com)
  • Food contamination refers to the ways that food has been depraved biologically, physically, or chemically. (intechopen.com)
  • In general, two sources of contamination are outside sources and formation in food that refer to primary and secondary contamination respectively [ 1 ]. (intechopen.com)
  • S. aureus can form biofilms on the surfaces of food processing devices , enabling the distribution of SE on foods through cross- contamination events. (bvsalud.org)
  • S. aureus strains with biofilm and enterotoxin production abilities were discovered on food contact surfaces and the hands of food handlers, implying significant risk of food contamination from these sources that could be harmful to consumers. (bvsalud.org)
  • To avoid cross- contamination of food with food contact items, the food handlers' hands should be properly washed, and all food preparation equipment should be thoroughly cleaned. (bvsalud.org)
  • Contamination through the occurrence of rodent hair, insect fragments, wood and rubber chips, stones and screws, among other objects in food. (bvsalud.org)
  • Food Science : Toxins and toxicant residues in food are explored from an analytical perspective. (mcgill.ca)
  • The two disciplines complement each other with Food Science providing the scientific foundation in the fundamentals of food science and its application in the food system, while Nutritional Sciences brings the fundamental knowledge in the nutritional aspects of food and metabolism. (mcgill.ca)
  • The program aims to train students with the fundamental knowledge in both disciplines to promote the development of healthy food products for human consumption. (mcgill.ca)
  • At the recent Petfood Forum in Kansas City, Missouri, Natasha Davis, client service manager at GfK, a market research institute, shared four human food trends that are finding their way into the pet food industry (and just might find their way into your veterinary clinic in the form of client questions). (dvm360.com)
  • Human ingredients that have recently risen in popularity due to their health benefits are popping up in prominent places on pet food packaging, says Davis, and it's not always because the ingredients are necessarily new to the food's recipe. (dvm360.com)
  • Honey and coconut are two other popular health-conscious human ingredients that are starting to grace the packaging of pet foods and treats, Davis says. (dvm360.com)
  • Concurrent Bachelor of Science in Food Science (B.Sc. (mcgill.ca)
  • Food Science : Examining current and emerging food safety issues and concerns as they occur, including food recalls, in the context of food safety hazards and health risk, food laws and regulations, food industry standards and practices. (mcgill.ca)
  • Food Science : Food safety risk assessment as a key component of the risk analysis framework. (mcgill.ca)
  • Food Science : A critical review of the current state of knowledge of some aspect of Food Science or Technology. (mcgill.ca)
  • Non-Thesis Food Science. (mcgill.ca)
  • Food Science : A critical review of the current state of knowledge of some aspects of Food Science or Technology. (mcgill.ca)
  • Food Science : Presentation on a selected topic, research proposal or research results based on progress in degree work (M.Sc.1). (mcgill.ca)
  • Perhaps nowhere is this shift more apparent than in the pet food industry. (dvm360.com)
  • This has created a demand for convenient, on-the-go pet nutrition (think Clif Bars for dogs), and the pet food industry is listening. (dvm360.com)
  • The program is intended to train graduate students as specialists in food safety with the expectation that graduates will be well prepared academically to take on the challenging food safety events and issues that emerge both in Canada and globally. (mcgill.ca)
  • In terms of the safety of food, the presence of mycotoxin is a hazard threatening the consumer of contaminated food. (intechopen.com)
  • Think DNA kits that help people determine what food is best for their cholesterol, gut health, immune system, metabolism and so on (the company Habit is just one example), as well as restaurants with nutritionists on staff who can counsel patrons on choosing the best foods for their unique needs. (dvm360.com)
  • Many pet food companies are simply capitalizing on the fact that a long-ignored ingredient, such as turmeric, is suddenly a selling point because of its associated health benefits. (dvm360.com)
  • Biofilm formation was detected using the CRA method , and 49 (24.5%) were identified as biofilm -producing strains , with the hands of food handlers identified as the primary source of biofilm -producing strains . (bvsalud.org)
  • People don't just want food that's good for them-they want food that's good for the environment as well, says Davis, and the same principle applies to the pet foods they purchase. (dvm360.com)
  • According to Davis, biohacking is entering the pet food realm in the form of meal enhancers. (dvm360.com)
  • Utilization of allspice in food products may provide additional functional properties. (scirp.org)
