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 […]
Whole Genome Sequencing: The Technology Revolutionizing Food Safety and Outbreak Detection
Summary Foodborne diseases affect an estimated 600 million people every year, making them one of the world’s leading public health challenges. Traditional laboratory methods often require days or even weeks to determine whether illnesses reported in different locations originate from the same contaminated food source. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) has […]
High-Pressure Processing (HPP): How Cold Pressure Technology Is Revolutionizing Food Safety and Freshness
Summary Consumers increasingly seek foods that are fresh, minimally processed, nutritious, and free from unnecessary preservatives. At the same time, food manufacturers must ensure products remain safe throughout increasingly complex global supply chains. Balancing these objectives has driven the development of innovative preservation technologies that improve food safety while maintaining […]
