Biopreservation

Biopreservation is a natural method used to extend the shelf life of foods and enhance safety by utilizing microorganisms or their by-products. It employs beneficial bacteria, yeast, or molds to prevent spoilage and inhibit harmful pathogens. This technique relies on the idea that these natural organisms can outcompete or inhibit unwanted microorganisms, effectively preserving the product. Biopreservation is gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative to chemical preservatives, offering an effective way to keep foods safe and fresh while maintaining their nutritional quality.
