• Traditional thermal processingmethods via heating and cooking aretraditionally used in the food industryto inactivate pathogenic and spoilagemicroorganisms.
• This increases the shelf life of food
and maintains food safety.

Why Nonthermal?
Disa!anta"e o# Thermal $ro%ess
• since heat treatment can adversely aect food'savor, taste, appearance, and nutrient content,less destructive food preservation methods arenow being sought.
A!anta"e o# Non thermal $ro%essin"
• Simple – vise versa of thermal processing
• preserve food without reducing the uality of food,
• !euire shorter treatment times
• "se less energy, they appear to be moreeconomical.

preservative – the chemical and physical properties of
both food and preservative
–the conditions of storage and handling,
– the assurance of a high initial uality ofthe food to be preserved

+enoic (cid
• +enoic acid occurs naturally in many types of 'erries,plums, prunes, and some spices
• (s an additive, it is used as benoic acid or as benoate
• The latter is used more often because benoic acid issparsely soluble in water, and sodium benoate is more
soluble• The &nisso%iate form on benoic acid is the most
eective antimicrobial agent
– pI a of J.*K optimum p0 range is from -./ to 0.1
– This makes it an eective antimicrobial in high8acid
foods, fruit drinks, cider, carbonated beverages, andpickles
– :t is also used in margarines, salad dressings, soy sauce,and Gams

Em&lsi)ers
Oil and water do not mix
Emulsifiers keep them mixed together in mayonnaise.
An emulsifier molecule has two parts.
The hydrophilic head bonds to water molecules.
The hydrophobic tail bonds to the oil molecules.
This prevents oils molecules from oining together.

Salami
• Salami are cured in warm, humid conditions to encourage growth of thebacteria involved in the fermentation process. Sugars Cusually detroseDare added as a food source for the bacteria during the curing process,although it tends not to be added to horse meat because of the latter'snaturally high levels of glycogen.
• 4actic acid is produced by the bacteria as a waste product, lowering the
p0 and coagulating and lowering the water8holding capacity of the meat. The acid produced by the bacteria makes the meat an inhospitableenvironment for other, pathogenic bacteria and imparts a tangy avorthat distinguishes salami from machine8dried pork. The avor of a salamirelies Gust as much on how these bacteria are cultivated as it does onuality and variety of other ingredients. 3riginally, the bacteria wereintroduced into the meat miture with wine, which contains other typesof benecial bacteriaK now, starter cultures are used. The whole processtakes about >O weeks, although some age it more for additional taste,and some can cut it down to about *J weeks for a sweeter taste.

of food.Examples
•2rapping in plastic film keeps out oxygen and water whichkeeps the food crisp
•3ome packaging removes water to stop food inside going off
Antioxidants are added to some foods or packaging to stop themreacting with oxygen.
