SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Far more than a simple update and revision, the Handbook of Food Spoilage Yeasts, Second Edition extends and restructures its scope and content to include important advances in microbial ecology, molecular biology, metabolic activity, and strategy for the prohibition and elimination of foodborne yeasts. The author incorporates new insights in taxonomy and phylogeny, detection and identification, and the physiological and genetic background of yeast stress responses, and introduces novel and improved processing, packaging, and storage technologies."--Jacket.
