Xerophilic and Xerotolerant Microorganisms
Xerophilic microorganisms are the microbes that can grow at a low availability of water or low water activity (Aw below 0.8). Xerotolerant...

Spoilage of Stored, Processed and Preserved Foods
The science of preserving foods, like so many other disciplines, requires compromise. Really dry foods, i.e. of a safe aw, may be impossible to...

Ecology of Fungal Food Spoilage
Food is not commonly regarded as an ecosystem, perhaps on the basis that it is not a “natural” system. Nevertheless an ecosystem it is and an...
