      The goal that the student acquire knowledge of food microbiology; to enable students to seen sources of food contamination, the growth of microorganisms and procedures that could prevent the growth and survival of microorganisms relevant to food safety and based on acquired knowledge could predict when the microorganisms that may be present in food, pose a threat to human health.
      The outcome The student needs to meet food as a matrix for the propagation of micro-organisms; to learn the sources and routes of food contamination; to learn methods for the isolation, identification and typing of microorganisms; to learn methods for detection of toxins in foods.
