Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Microbial Risk Analysis focuses on quantifying and assessing microbial risks in food production and public health. This includes developing predictive models for pathogen contamination in crops like hazelnuts and evaluating the safety of food ingredients such as essential oils and bacteriophages. The journal also explores the integration of genomics into risk assessment models for pathogens like Campylobacter and the application of quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) for foodborne illnesses and occupational exposures.
