Sinopsis

Hurdle technology represents a sophisticated and effective approach to ensuring the safety and quality of flesh foods. By strategically combining a range of physical, chemical, physico-chemical and microbial hurdles, it becomes possible to create a multi-targeted preservation strategy that effectively inhibits microbial growth and enzymatic spoilage. By combining multiple preservation techniques-such as thermal treatment, refrigeration, water activity control, antimicrobial agents, and packaging modifications-hurdle technology ensures food safety while maintaining quality. In addition, multi-target preservation technology integrates multiple hurdles to achieve a more comprehensive and effective approach to food safety. This includes the combination of irradiation with natural preservatives, cold plasma with essential oils, and high-pressure processing (HPP) with antimicrobial agents. These advanced preservation methods not only enhance microbial stability but also align with consumer demand for minimally processed and high-quality food products.Its application in flesh foods, including fish and meat products, has proven beneficial in preventing microbial spoilage, reducing foodborne illnesses, and retaining nutritional and sensory attributes. Methods like vacuum packaging, high-pressure processing, fermentation, and the use of natural preservatives further enhance its effectiveness.
