The role of food technology in meeting health needs. Topics include the development of new foods for the control of weight, reduction of risk in chronic diseases, and the utilization of food science to produce a varied, safe, healthy, and nutritionally sound diet. The possible alleviation of world hunger through technology.

Principal microbiological agents responsible for food-borne diseases: their classification, physiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, identification, and control and case histories.

With lab. Overview of microbiology principles as applied to food safety. Emphasis on the control of microbial food-borne illnesses in institutional and industrial settings. Labs teach basic techniques used for microbial testing of foods. (Planned for Spring 2007)
