Microbiological food quality and traditional/novel methods to assay microbiological food quality;

Prevention of food-related hazards and food spoilage through food preservatives and thermal/non-thermal processes, including process validation;

Food fermentations and food-related probiotics;

Safe food handling practices during pre-harvest, harvest, post-harvest, distribution and consumption, including food safety education for retailers, foodservice, and consumers;
