Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms are widely used in the food and feed industry for a variety of purposes, such as fermentation, preservation, and bioprocessing. The isolation and application of microorganisms in the food and feed industry has been a topic of extensive research in recent years due to the promise it holds for improving food quality and safety, increasing production efficiency, and reducing environmental impact. This Special Issue aims to presents original research articles and reviews that focus on the isolation and application of microorganisms in the food and feed industry. The topics covered in this Issue will include, but will not be limited to:
- Discovery of novel microorganisms with breakthroughs in culture and genetic methodologies;
- Characterization of the functional and genomic properties of microorganisms in food and feed processing;
- Application of microbial fermentation in the production of food and feed products;
- Bioprocessing of food and feed waste using microorganisms;
- Microbial control of foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms;
- Bioremediation of food and feed processing wastewater using microorganisms
We anticipate that this Special Issue will be of interest to a wide range of researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of microbiology, food science, feed science, biotechnology, and related disciplines who are interested in exploring the potential of microorganisms to improve the food and feed industry.
