Development of a novel food preservation technique using natural antimicrobial agents

Project Abstract

Food preservation is a critical aspect of the food industry to ensure the safety and quality of food products. The use of chemical preservatives has raised concerns among consumers due to their potential health risks. Therefore, there is a growing interest in developing novel food preservation techniques using natural antimicrobial agents. This research project aims to investigate the effectiveness of natural antimicrobial agents in preserving food products and to develop a novel food preservation technique that is safe, sustainable, and effective.
