Hello, Welcome to MOOC on Food Microbiology and Food Safety.

3
00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:20.040
I am Dr. Tejpal Dhewa, Course Coordinator of this MOOC, which is designed under the

4
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:21.880
guidance of Prof. R.C. Kuhad,

5
00:00:22.060 --> 00:00:26.900
Principal investigator of this course and Vice-Chancellor Central University of Haryana.

6
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:32.080
As we know that food microbiology is about the understanding of microorganisms that grow

7
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:36.380
or multiply in or contaminate the food which we consume.

8
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.560
Food microorganisms could be either beneficial or harmful.

9
00:00:39.860 --> 00:00:45.500
The key aspect of food microbiology is food safety which focuses on the disease-causing microorganism

10
00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:49.020
and their toxins which may contaminate the food.

11
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:55.600
That is why it is essential to recognize the possible role of microorganisms to ensure the public safety.

12
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:59.449
Therefore, to make you aware of all important information’s.

13
00:00:59.449 --> 00:01:04.159
The course on "Food Microbiology and Food Safety” has been designed to have a holistic

14
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.130
comprehension on - - The important genera of microorganisms associated

15
00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:10.920
with the food and their characteristics.

16
00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:16.880
- And the role of microorganisms in food spoilage, food fermentation and food borne diseases.

17
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.340
- Elaborate discussion on the concept of food preservation by conventional and recent methods.

18
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:26.360
- Along with the microbiological quality control in food safety and hygiene.

19
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:31.440
- And finally, we will also discuss in this course the latest National International

20
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:36.320
food safety regulations along with newly introduced food safety management tools for assessing

21
00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:40.380
