Development of a novel food preservation technique using natural antimicrobial agents

Project Abstract

The preservation of food products is a crucial aspect of the food industry to ensure the safety and quality of food for consumption. Traditional methods of food preservation often involve the use of synthetic preservatives, which have raised concerns due to their potential health risks. In response to this, there is a growing interest in developing novel food preservation techniques using natural antimicrobial agents. This research project aims to investigate and develop a novel food preservation technique utilizing natural antimicrobial agents to enhance the shelf life and safety of food products.
