Biofilms in Food Processing Facilities: The Hidden Threat to Food Safety
Summary Food manufacturers invest heavily in cleaning and sanitation to ensure that foods reaching consumers are safe. Yet despite rigorous hygiene programs, certain microorganisms can survive routine cleaning by forming highly organized microbial communities known as biofilms. These microscopic structures can develop on stainless steel equipment, conveyor belts, drains, pipelines, […]
Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) Technology: The Future of Non-Thermal Food Processing
Summary Modern consumers expect foods that are fresh, nutritious, minimally processed, and free from excessive preservatives. At the same time, food manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve food safety, reduce energy consumption, minimize food waste, and produce high-quality products efficiently. These demands have accelerated the development of innovative non-thermal food […]
Antimicrobial Resistance in the Food Chain: A Growing Global Food Safety Challenge
Summary Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is widely recognized as one of the greatest threats to global health, food security, and sustainable development. It occurs when bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites evolve mechanisms that enable them to survive exposure to medicines designed to eliminate them. As a result, infections become more difficult […]
Cold Plasma Technology in Food Processing: A Non-Thermal Revolution in Food Safety and Shelf-Life Extension
Summary Consumers increasingly demand foods that are fresh, minimally processed, and free from excessive preservatives, while food manufacturers face growing pressure to improve safety, reduce food waste, and maintain nutritional quality. These expectations have accelerated the development of innovative non-thermal food preservation technologies. One of the most promising innovations is […]
