Project Abstract

Abstract
The preservation of food products is a crucial aspect of the food industry to ensure the safety, quality, and shelf life of consumables. Traditional food preservation methods often involve the use of synthetic preservatives, which may pose health risks and lead to consumer concerns. In response to the growing demand for natural and sustainable food preservation solutions, this research project aims to develop a novel food preservation technique using natural antimicrobial agents. Chapter one provides an introduction to the research topic, presenting the background of the study, the problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of key terms. The literature review in chapter two examines existing research on food preservation techniques, natural antimicrobial agents, and their efficacy in inhibiting microbial growth in food products. Ten key items are discussed, highlighting the importance of exploring alternative preservation methods. Chapter three outlines the research methodology employed in this study, detailing the experimental design, materials, procedures, data collection methods, and analysis techniques. The methodology includes at least eight contents, such as sample selection, antimicrobial agent extraction, and microbial testing protocols, to ensure robust and reliable results. In chapter four, the findings of the research are discussed comprehensively, focusing on the effectiveness of the novel food preservation technique developed using natural antimicrobial agents. Seven key items are explored, including the inhibitory effects on microbial growth, sensory evaluation of preserved foods, and potential applications in different food products. The results are analyzed and interpreted to provide insights into the practical implications of the new preservation method. Finally, chapter five presents the conclusion and summary of the research project, highlighting the key findings, implications, and recommendations for future studies. The development of a natural food preservation technique using antimicrobial agents has the potential to revolutionize the food industry by offering safer, healthier, and more sustainable alternatives to synthetic preservatives. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to enhance food safety and quality while meeting consumer preferences for natural and environmentally friendly products. In conclusion, the "Development of a novel food preservation technique using natural antimicrobial agents" project represents a significant advancement in the field of food technology, offering a promising solution to the challenges of food preservation in a sustainable and environmentally conscious manner. The findings of this research have the potential to impact the food industry positively and pave the way for the adoption of natural preservatives in a wide range of food products.
