Course Syllabus

Theory

Introduction and history of microorganisms in foods. Role and significance of microorganisms in nature and in foods. Sources and types of microorganisms in fish and fishery products.  Factors (intrinsic and extrinsic) affecting the growth and survival of microorganisms in food.   Enumeration of microorganisms in food by conventional and rapid techniques.  Microbial principles of fish preservation and processing by application of low temperature, high temperature, drying, irradiation and chemicals. Microbiology and spoilage of fresh, semi processed and processed fish and fishery products. Indicators of microbiological quality of fish and fishery products.Food borne pathogens involved in infective and intoxication type of food poisoning – Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum, C. perfringens, Campylobacter and  Staphylococcus aureus – their occurrence, growth, survival, pathogenicity and prevention. Other biological hazards associated with fish and fishery products- marine toxins-shellfish toxins, scombroid toxins, ciguatera toxins and puffer fish toxins; mycotoxins, parasites and viruses.

Practicals

1. Sampling and processing of samples for microbiological investigation.

2. Enumeration of microorganisms associated with finfish, shellfish, water and ice.

3. Testing of water for potability.

4. Isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria associated with fish and fishery products - Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus,, E coli, Salmonella, Listeriamonocytogenes and faecal streptococci.

5. Biochemical tests for characterization of bacteria. 

6. Molecular methods for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms.

7. Determination of MIC and MCC of chemical preservatives.
