CO1
REMEMBERING
Recall the types of microbial flora present in various foods (e.g., fruits, vegetables, milk, and meat). List common microorganisms involved in foodborne infections and poisoning
CO2
UNDERSTANDING
Explain how intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence microbial growth in food. Describe the principles and methods of food preservation. Understand the role of microbes in fermented foods, probiotics, and single-cell protein production.
CO3
APPLYING

CO4
ANALYZING
Examine microbial spoilage patterns in food and milk products. Analyze microbiological criteria for food safety using standards set by FSSAI and other certifications
CO5
EVALUATING
Assess foodborne infections and spoilage to recommend appropriate control strategies. Evaluate the effectiveness of preservation methods and microbial safety standards.
