Webinar Short: Microbial Spoilage (Part 6): Control Factors

In this Webinar Short, we explore effective measures and factors for controlling microbial spoilage. We examine intrinsic factors such as water activity, pH levels, oxygen availability, nutrient content, and the role of antimicrobials in inhibiting microbial growth. Additionally, we explore extrinsic factors including thermal and nonthermal processing techniques, refrigeration and freezing methods, and the use of vacuum and modified air packaging to extend shelf life and preserve food quality. Join us as we uncover the diverse strategies available to mitigate microbial spoilage and ensure the safety and longevity of food products.
