In contrast to the second edition, the third edition of ‘‘Fungi and Food Spoilage’’ is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The second edition was intended to cover almost all of the species likely to be encountered in mainstream food supplies, and only a few additional species have been included in this new edition.
The Ecology of Fungal Food Spoilage.- Naming and Classifying Fungi.- Methods for Isolation, Enumeration and Identification.- Primary Keys and Miscellaneous Fungi.- Zygomycetes.- Penicillium and Related Genera.- Aspergillus and Related Teleomorphs.- Xerophiles.- Yeasts.- Fresh and Perishable Foods.- Spoilage of Stored, Processed and Preserved Foods.
