Abstract: For students, professionals, and lay persons, the book provides information on fungi influencing foods and beverages. Discussed are fungi and what they do, their involvement in all classes of food products, and methodologies for detecting and quantifying fungal populations and mycotoxins. Stressed are the practical and applied aspects of mycology as it relates to foods and beverages. Specific topics, from a number of contributors, are: classification of food and beverage fungi; relationships of water activity to fungal growth; fruits and fruit products; fungi in the spoilage of vegetables; meats, poultry, and seafoods; dairy products; storage fungi, bakery products; traditional fermented food products; alcoholic beverages; edible mushrooms; fungi as a source of protein; metabolites of fungi used in food processing; mycotoxins; methods for detecting mycotoxins in foods and beverages; and methods for detecting fungi in foods and beverages.

This is a work on the role of fungi in processed and unprocessed foods. In addition to offering practical and applied information on fungi associated with food and beverages this second edition now covers poisonous mushrooms. Topics include water activity, specific commodities, fungi and metabolities as human dietary components, health hazards and mycotoxin producers, and mycotoxin and fungal contaminant detection.

For millennia, the presence of fungi in food has been both boon and bane to food stores. Fungi can spoil large quantities of food and produce dangerous toxins that threaten human health; however, fungal spoilage in certain foods can produce a unique, highly prized food source and there are some very effective fungal derived medicines. A thorough un

Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Standardization of Methods for the Mycological Examination of Foods, held at Baarn, The Netherlands, August, 1990. Nine collaborative studies and forty articles focus mainly on the development of better methods for the detection and enumeration of fungi in foods. Includes: sections on xerophilic, heat resistant and mycotoxigenic fungi, and immunological and alternative techniques for detection of fungi; a summary of recommendations for methods to be adopted that were prepared and agreed upon at the workshop; a review of mycological methods and media currently considered to be the most satisfactory available.

This book represents the Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Food Mycology, which was held on the Danish island of Samsø from 15-19 October, 2003. This series of Workshops c- menced in Boston, USA, in July 1984, from which the proceedings were published as Methods for Mycological Examination of Food (edited by A. D. King et al. , published by Plenum Press, New York, 1986). The second Workshop was held in Baarn, the Netherlands, in August 1990, and the proceedings were published as Modern Methods in Food Mycology (edited by R. A. Samson et al. , and published by Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1992). The Third Workshop was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1994 and the Fourth near Uppsala, Sweden, in 1998. The proceedings of those two workshops were p- lished as scientific papers in the International Journal of Food Microbiology. International Workshops on Food Mycology are held under the auspices of the International Commission on Food Mycology, a Commission under the Mycology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies. Details of this Commission are given in the final chapter of this book. This Fifth Workshop was organised by Ulf Thrane, Jens Frisvad, Per V. Nielsen and Birgitte Andersen from the Center for Microbial Biotechnology, Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, v vi Foreword Denmark.

This volume supplements the other books on this subject by providing much information that is not readily available elsewhere. It opens with a taxonomy of fungi in foods and feeds and then considers ecology, spoilage, and mycotoxin production by fungi in foods and feeds. This is followed by a series
