It can replace other preservatives like lactates, lactates/acetates blends, and diacetate with favorable effects on the microbiological protection, shelf-life, taste, and cost-saving.

II. How to increase shelf-life of food products

The shelf-life of food products can be improved during the production process. By reducing the water activity of food and increasing the content of sugar, microorganisms' growth environment is impaired.

The packaging process is another vital stage to extend products' shelf-life. High concentrations of Co2, and N2 can inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Thus, the use of vacuum packaging or vacuum nitrogen-filled packaging can extend shelf-Jife of food.

Heat treatment or Jow temperature treatment is also a common method to increase the shelf-life of food. Most bacteria, yeast, mold nutrient cells, and viruses can be lethal after 10min in 50 ~ 60 C, Below o ℃, biochemical reactions can not be carried out and most bacteria stop growing or even dies. Thus, heat treatment or low-temperature preservation of food is effective in prolonging the shelf-life of food.
