Extending the shelf life of food products through innovative preservation and decontamination methods

Description :

Throughout the past few decades, food contamination has remained a significant concern, with several notable incidents and development. These occurrences have raised concerns both in terms of public health and the economic impact. This research project aims to address key points in using different treatment method in order to try to extend the shel-life of some specific food products. To achieve this, several decontamination techniques will be employed. Firstly, innovative method such as chemical, physical and thermal treatments will be applied to food products (pastry and beans). Secondly, various antimicrobial agents will be tested to reduce the presence of pathogenic bacteria.
