Shelf life extension can reduce food losses throughout the entire chain and packaging be an effective way to attain this goal. Along these lines, active is appealing alternative that uses natural antimicrobial compounds inhibit growth of microorganisms causing spoilage. Specifically, a was developed based on polyethylene film with coating fully compatible (all components declared as additive co...

Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing of licorice root “sherbet” (LRS) by various strengths (7.00, 15.50, and 24.10 kV/cm), treatment times (108, 432, 756 µsec), temperatures (6, 18, 30°C) according to the Box–Behnken design were performed. The samples analyzed for pH, titratable acidity, conductivity, turbidity, total reducing sugar, color ( L *, a b *), hue, chroma, difference, intensity, to...

Biopreservation, defined as the extension of shelf life and enhanced safety of foods by the use of natural or controlled microbiota and/or antimicrobial compounds, is an innocuous and ecological approach to the problem of food preservation and has gained increasing attention in recent years. Consequently, certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB), with demonstrated antimicrobial properties commonly as...
