Control of Microorganisms by Physical and Chemical Agents

Chapter Overview

This chapter focuses on the control and the destruction of microorganisms by physical and chemical agents. This is a topic of great importance, because microorganisms may have deleterious effects, such as food spoilage and disease. It is therefore essential to be able to kill or remove microorganisms from certain environments in order to minimize their harmful effects.
