Influence of Antimicrobial Agents on the Thermal Sensitivity of Foodborne Pathogens: A Review
Overview
Nutritional Sciences
Affiliations
Consumers are demanding more natural and organic foods and ingredients. Many additives alone are insufficient to inactivate pathogens or prevent growth. Mild heat combined with antimicrobial agents synergistically inactivate pathogens. Here we review studies using thermally assisted antimicrobial inactivation. Many opportunities exist for the application of this hurdle technology in foods.
