1st Edition
Novel Approaches in Biopreservation for Food and Clinical Purposes
The aim of "Novel Approaches in Biopreservation for Food and Clinical Purposes" is to provide cutting-edge information on biopreservation methods for both food and medical applications. The book has one chapter dedicated to each major food category (milk and dairy, vegetables, meat, fish, bread, flours and beverages) and brief chapters covering preservation approaches for pharmaceuticals, embryos, gametes, cells and tissues. This book assumes a basic understanding of microbiology and food science, aiming to offer an overview of the most commonly and updated techniques currently used, including protective cultures and fermentation starters, bacterial metabolites, essential oils, bacteriophages or endolysins. By presenting this comprehensive overview, the book aims to advance knowledge in the field of biopreservation and foster its implementation in both food and clinical contexts.
