As discussed in last week’s blog, different antimicrobial agents have different activities against different pathogenic microorganisms due to their diverse physiologies. Research over years helps determine which agent acts best against the works of a particular microbe.
In this blog, we have consolidated extensive tabulated data on various agents. The categorization is based on their activity, integration into packaging and targeted microorganism. Additional categorization is added to detail active packaging systems and technologies and their associated applications in food preservation.
