New trends including banning of nitrite and substitution of animal protein with plant-based raw materials inherently give a higher risk caused by Clostridium botulinum. ISI Food Protection has implemented cost-effective in vitro testing systems for screening of potential preservatives for their antimicrobial potency against C. botulinum strains. The methods include MIC, MBC, as well as…

Biopreservation with protective cultures is a strong alternative to other preservation technologies. After having worked in this field with development of solutions for fermented meat and dairy products, we are now expanding to use in non-fermented foods, where the opportunities are vast. Currently we are running a screening program aimed at finding suitable candidate strains…
