Food microbiology is the study of microorganisms in food and how they impact the safety, quality, and shelf life of different food products. Microorganisms are microscopic living organisms that can be found in almost all environments, including food. Some microorganisms are beneficial and essential for the production of certain foods, while others can cause foodborne illnesses and spoilage.
