{"product_id":"9781566769129","title":"Microbial Stress Adaptation and Food Safety","description":"\u003cp\u003ePresents the first text on the subject of stress adaptation as a factor that compromises the safety of new-generation foods Assesses the problems associated with stress adaptation Discusses the safety of minimally processed and nonthermally processed foods New-generation foods, which include minimally and nonthermally processed products, are gaining popularity among consumers because of the fresh-like taste and texture. However, processes used in making these foods are conducive to stress adaptation in foodborne pathogens. Recently publicized foodborne disease outbreaks have raised public awareness about these food safety issues. This is the first book to focus on the safety of new-generation foods and the adaptation of pathogens to processing conditions used in the manufacture of these products. It addresses the basic science, kinetics, mechanisms, assessment, and control of stress adaptation, and implication of this phenomenon for the safety of foods produced through minimal processing or nonthermal technologies. When microorganisms in food or the environment are exposed to stresses, their response varies from inactivation to adaptation. Adaptation of beneficial microorganisms to certain stress increases their positive contribution to food preservation and human health. Adaptation of pathogenic microorganisms to stresses, however, may cause great health hazards. This book covers the basic science, kinetics, mechanisms, assessment, and control of stress adaptation, as well as the implications of this phenomenon, including its impact on food safety. Provides the first in-depth study of stress adaptation and its implications for the safety of minimally and non-thermally processed foods Assesses the problems associated with stress adaptation Proposes practical solutions to overcome the microbial stress phenomenon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034732380400,"sku":"9781566769129","price":229.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781566769129_p0.jpg?v=1763790039","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781566769129","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
