Antimicrobial technologies for food safety

From temperature control to bio-based innovations, antimicrobial technologies form the backbone of modern food safety strategies. This article walks through the main categories, their real-world applications, and the factors that determine how effective they are across different food matrices.

How can antimicrobial formulations be optimized for cost and efficacy in food systems?

Cost-effective antimicrobial formulation isn't about picking the cheapest ingredient, it's about achieving the lowest cost per unit of microbial stability. We explore how dose-response curves, synergy between mechanisms, and product environment factors like pH and water activity can be leveraged to optimize efficacy, including real data from a vinegar-based system that extended shelf-life in refrigerated beef patties at just 1.3% inclusion.

Heat processing in the food industry: ensuring safety and quality

Food spoilage is a significant challenge for companies in the food industry, leading to substantial waste and environmental impact. Globally, approximately one-third of all produced food is lost or wasted across the supply chain, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and the depletion of valuable resources like water and land. For businesses, this translates to financial losses and inefficiencies in the supply chain. Effective food preservation methods, such as heat processing, are essential for mitigating these issues and ensuring that food products remain safe and high-quality throughout their shelf-life.
