Brewing Microbiology: Managing Microbes, Ensuring Quality and Valorising Waste, Second Edition covers micro-organisms of significance to the brewing industry, including the most recent threats to beer quality and stability that have emerged. Reflecting the significant surge in production of no- and low-alcohol (NOLO) beers and Hard Seltzers since the publication of the 1st edition, and the lack of information available on the increased microbiological risk associated with these beverages - and how to control them, a new chapter "Maintaining microbiological quality control in Hard Seltzers and NOLO beverages" provides best practices in ensuring safe and effective management in production and stability. Sustainability and the environment have been at the forefront of brewers strategic thinking for many years. The first edition of Brewing Microbiology included coverage of anaerobic treatments of brewery waste and waste-water treatment. This section has been expanded to cover recent innovations in the valorization of brewery waste streams, such as biotransformation of brewers spent grains.

Yeasts play a crucial role in the sensory quality of a wide range of foods. This book provides a comprehensive review of the methods for their detection, identification and analysis as well as the role of yeasts in several food products including dairy products, meat, fruit, bread and beverages.

Nitrate and nitrite are potentially dangerous substances which can have a detrimental effect on the ecological balance of rivers and lakes, and can cause harm to human health. This book puts into context the magnitude and complexity of the problems caused by nitrate and nitrite, and provides advice and information on ways to combat it.

Microbial Endophytes: Prospects for Sustainable Agriculture discusses the practical and theoretical aspects regarding the use of endophytic microorganisms in agriculture, providing insights on the biotechnological applications associated with long-term crop production. Chapters deal with the various aspects of endophytic microorganisms, including isolation, enumeration, characterization procedures, diversity analysis, and their role as biofertilizer, biocontrol agent and microbial inoculants. Framed to discuss the present and future potential of microbial endophytes in biotic and abiotic stress management, bioremediation, bioactive compounds production, and in nanotechnology, this book provides a single-volume resource that will be valuable to academics and researchers interested in microbiology, agricultural sciences and biotechnology.Explores aspects of sustainable agriculture by using endophytic microorganism such as bacteria, fungi and actinobacteriaPresents insights into the use of endophytes as biofertilizer and biocontrol agents in sustainable agricultureRelates endophyte organisms and nano-technology
