    Because it comes from nature and has safe, green and efficient antiseptic properties, natural preservatives are more widely used in food than chemically synthesized preservatives, and their importance is increasing day by day


    plant preservatives

    Plant preservatives are mostly derived from plant extracts, such as certain natural herbs and spices and plant essential oils


    Plant extracts are usually obtained from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, bark and other parts of plants.


    Plant extracts are rich in natural antioxidants


    Essential oils (EOs) are aromatic and volatile liquids obtained from natural herbs and spices, containing a large amount of secondary metabolites, which have the effect of delaying or inhibiting the growth of bacteria, yeasts and molds


    animal preservatives

    Animal preservatives refer to biologically active substances with antiseptic effect artificially extracted from some animals or their metabolites.


    Enzymes exert antibacterial activity through many different mechanisms


    Lysozyme is widely used in the preservation of meat, meat products, fish and their products, milk and dairy products, and fruits and vegetables, and can prevent food spoilage and fruit aging


    Antimicrobial peptides (AMPS) have broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and certain viruses, and can be isolated from other organisms such as plants, insects, crustaceans, and marine organisms


    Preservatives for microorganisms and their metabolites

    Many compounds produced by bacteria prevent the growth of spoilage bacteria or pathogenic microorganisms in food


    Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in microorganisms have the ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and are good candidate strains


    In addition, bacteriocins can be used in combination with other antibacterial compounds to enhance the inactivation of bacteria


    In addition to existing natural herbal, animal or microbial additive ingredients, many more new natural food preservatives are yet to be discovered
