Module 3 is intended to be an overview of fundamentals of dairy microbiology – including microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) and microbial growth factors and characteristics.
Milk is a highly nutritious food even for microbes so it is important to understand that some microbes can spoil milk so it doesn’t taste good, some can make it become harmful to the consumer and yet others can help us make different products from milk like cheese or sour cream.
Methods for detection and enumeration of microorganisms are discussed. We will see that there are both useful and harmful microorganisms in milk and milk products.
After successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
