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.
