Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation

Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation

Perishable products such as fruits and vegetables account for the largest proportion of food loss due to their short shelf life especially in the absence of proper storage facilities which requires sustainable universal and convenient preservation technology. The existing methods to prolong the shelf life of food mainly include adding preservatives irradiation cold storage heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage. But with disadvantages in irradiation cold storage heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage chemical synthetic preservatives are still the main means to control food corruption. As the food industry responds to the increasing consumer demand for green safe and sustainable products it is reformulating new products to replace chemical synthetic food additives. Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation provides a comprehensive introduction to the antimicrobial activity of plant essential oils and their application strategies in food preservation. It is aimed at food microbiology experts food preservation experts food safety experts food technicians and students. Features: Summarizes the application strategy and safety of essential oil in the field of food preservation Describes the synergistic antibacterial effect of essential oil and antimicrobial agents Explains the action mechanism of essential oil as antimicrobial agent against foodborne fungi foodborne bacteria viruses and insects Analyzes the antimicrobial activity of essential oil in gas phase The book discusses how as a natural antimicrobial and antioxidant essential oil has great potential to be used in the food industry to combat the growth of foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. But because the essential oil itself has obvious smell and is sensitive to light and heat it cannot be directly added to the food matrix and thus the application strategies presented in this book explain how to alleviate those issues.

Terahertz Technology Principles and Applications in the Agri-Food Industry

Terahertz Technology Principles and Applications in the Agri-Food Industry

Terahertz (THz) technology is an active area of research but only in recent years has the application of THz waves (T waves) in food and agricultural industries been explored. Terahertz Technology: Principles and Applications in the Agri-Food Industry describes the operating principles of THz technology and discusses applications and advantages of the THz regime of the electromagnetic spectrum for use in the agri-food industry. The agri-food industry is focusing on the development of non-destructive quality evaluation techniques that can provide accurate analysis quickly and are environmentally friendly. Among such techniques is THz technology that provides a novel noninvasive approach to quality assessment and safety assurance of agri-food products. The low energy of T waves is best suited for the analysis of sensitive biomaterials and does not cause photoionization. Therefore THz imaging is complementary to X-ray imaging. Although accessing the THz spectrum is tedious by conventional devices the combination of optics and electronics principles has opened a dimension of research in this field. This book provides an overview of THz spectroscopy and imaging system components types of THz systems and applications and advantages of THz for applications in the agri-food industry. It describes the basic working mechanism operating principle operation modes and system components of THz spectroscopy and imaging. Various advancements in THz technology related to agricultural and food applications are discussed that could serve as a guidebook for all those working and interested in non-destructive food assessment techniques. Key Features: Explores broader applications of the THz regime in the agri-food sector Describes system components different forms of THz systems and the working principle of T waves for spectroscopic and imaging techniques Provides insights on future research needs for industrial implementation of THz technology Complements the knowledge of other existing non-destructive spectroscopy and imaging techniques for food analysis Although books on biomedical applications of THz have been published no book is available that deals with applications in the agri-food industry. Hence Terahertz Technology is beneficial for undergraduate and graduate students and those food industry professionals involved in research related to non-destructive quality assessment and imaging techniques. | Terahertz Technology Principles and Applications in the Agri-Food Industry

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

The aim of this book is to show the potential of natural hydrocolloids and active agents to develop sustainable edible packaging materials for food preservation. For this the current and future sources of natural hydrocolloids have been reviewed along with their extraction methods impact on health and ability to form different packaging such as film casing coating mat pad etc. Similarly natural active compounds were evaluated carefully considering their sources extraction methods regulatory status and compatibility with edible packaging. The book emphasizes the recent developments in methods strategies and technologies employed to enhance the performance of antimicrobial antioxidant and bioactive packaging. The basic testing methods used to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of edible packaging in model media and food were discussed and carefully selected example active edible packaging applications for different food categories were provided with critical details such as the thin balance between effectiveness of packaging and sensory properties of food. As such it helps in understanding necessary parameters in designing an effective active edible packaging that is applicable to the target food category. Moreover readers are primed for the first time on how to develop a fully natural antimicrobial antioxidant or bioactive edible food packaging. This book is different from most of the similar books' avail as it provides neither methodologies about classical active packaging based on chemicals and fossil polymeric films nor is it a thorough collection of different food packaging applications. It is also not a book that concentrates on physicochemical characterization methods and engineering aspects of packaging. Instead this is a book that provides systematic knowledge about key methods of evaluating natural resources agro-industrial wastes and by-products for development of edible packaging and concentrates on concepts strategies technologies and applications of active edible packaging based solely on natural components. It is designed to share both positive and negative experiences in an emerging field that is expected to play a central role in improving food safety and quality human health and environmentally friendly practices. | Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents
