RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Application of lactic acid bacteria for the biopreservation of meat products: A systematic review A1 Barcenilla, Coral A1 Ducic, Miroslav A1 López, Mercedes A1 Prieto Maradona, Miguel A1 Álvarez Ordóñez, Avelino A2 Microbiologia K1 Tecnología de los alimentos AB The increasing concern of consumers about food quality and safety and their rejection of chemical additives has promoted the breakthrough of the biopreservation field and the development of studies on the use of beneficial bacteria and their metabolites as potential natural antimicrobials for shelf life extension and enhanced food safety. Control of foodborne pathogens in meat and meat products represents a serious challenge for the food industry which can be addressed through the intelligent use of bio-compounds or biopreservatives. This article aims to systematically review the available knowledge about biological strategies based on the use of lactic acid bacteria to control the proliferation of undesirable microorganisms in different meat products. The outcome of the literature search evidenced the potential of several strains of lactic acid bacteria and their purified or semi- purified antimicrobial metabolites as biopreservatives in meat products for achieving longer shelf life or inhibiting spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, especially when combined with other technologies to achieve a synergistic effect.
