Plants as a source of natural preservatives for food application

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:One of the main challenges of the food industry has been the substitution of artificial additives for natural ones. In a world increasingly demanding for healthy foods, functional products, clean labels etc., it is urgent to develop safer,healthier altematives to preserve foods. Nature has been a fascinating source of distinct classes of compounds (e.g. phenolics, organic acids), recognizedfor their bioactive properties, namely antioxidants and antimicrobials, two essential attributes to be considered a natural preservative, in addition of having low/no toxicityeffect
