Edmund A. Zottola
Dr. Edmund A. Zottola, Professor Emeritus of Food Microbiology, Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota,
passed away peacefully on October 4, 2017, from complications due to Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Zottola was an actively engaged IAFP member and served with distinction in many capacities since joining the organization in 1966.
He chaired and served on multiple committees and numerous awards juries and presented many scientific papers on food microbiology research
during his 51 years as an IAFP member. For his many contributions to the field of food microbiology, he received the IAFP Elmer Marth
Educator Award in 1988, The Robert F. Sherman Award in 1989 and was elected an inaugural Fellow of IAFP in 1998. He also was a Fellow
of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). In addition, he received the IAFP President's Recognition Award in 2010, the GMA Food Safety
Award in 2011 and became an Honorary Life member of IAFP in 2001. Dr. Zottola also served as Scientific Editor of Food Protection Trends
from June 2004 until November 2007.
During his 31 years at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Zottola worked in Extension sharing his practical knowledge of microbiology with
the food industry as well as teaching several courses in the department and mentoring graduate students. A prolific researcher and writer,
he mentored more than 45 graduate students including 30 MS degree and 15 Ph.D. candidates. He was a beloved advisor who was always
available to provide advice, counsel and assistance to his students. He encouraged them to present their research at the IAFP Annual
Meetings where they successfully competed in graduate student paper competitions and, under his tutelage, received top honors on several
occasions.
Today, his students hold prominent positions in all areas of food safety where they work to keep the food supply safe. Dr. Zottola was an
excellent teacher, caring mentor and friend to his students as well as colleagues and had a profound impact on all of them. He will be sorely
missed.
