3nd WPAEFM symposium “Food microbiology education in practice”, Berlin 2018 TEACHING FOOD MICROBIOLOGY AT MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY Lidia Stoyanova Food safety is a task that humanity has been trying to solve for a long time. In the IV century BC Hippocrates in the Diet wrote: "Our food should be a medicine, and the medicine must be food". However, cooking, preserving food with the help of microorganisms and damaging it are two sides of one process. Teaching training courses in microbiology in the field of food safety should provide the graduate with a set of knowledge necessary for professional work in modern conditions. Key words: methods for controlling, food safety, training of professionals.
