Postgraduate study in food microbiology delves into the study of microorganisms and their interactions with food and their respective environments. Research in this field encompasses ecology, genetics, physiology, and epidemiology of microbial spoilage and pathogenicity. Additionally, it explores the utilisation of microbial inhibitors to control microbial growth and mortality within the food system, as well as the identification and application of beneficial microorganisms for food purposes.
