    Abstract

    Extended shelf-life cook-chill technology is widely used by modern food services. However, it poses a number of food safety risks. There is a limited choice of suitable preservation methods for applications in catering. Bacteriocinogenic protective cultures (PCs) offer temperature-responsive preservation and a ââ"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“naturalââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ image. The knowledge of the dynamic of inhibition and factors effecting it is needed to ââ"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“designââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ products protected by this method. The suggested protocol for PC applications covers the inhibition enhancing strategies and possible ways of protecting PCs during processing.
