IJERPH Webinar | The Use of Starter Cultures to Improve Food Safety
An increasing world population makes it necessary to improve food quality and safety, while ensuring food security. Moreover, the modern consumer, more informed and more demanding, avoids foods with too many chemical additives, preferring foods without added additives or low on these. Therefore, one of the current challenges of food industry is to produce safe and enough reducing or eliminating preservatives. Starters are natural, indigenous, microbial cultures that are added to fermented foods, alone or combined, in order to improve food safety, sometimes enabling the reduced use of added preservatives.
The goal of this webinar is to foster a discussion on the use of starter cultures able to increase safety in fermented foods, such as meat, fish, dairy, vegetables, and fruits, among others.
