  Microbiota-driven Approaches to Enhance Food Safety and Preservation
  Author(s): Rakesh Kumar*
  
  Microbiota-driven approaches have emerged as a promising avenue to enhance food safety and preservation. The intricate interplay between microorganisms within food ecosystems can exert profound influences on microbial competition, metabolite production, and pathogen inhibition. This review explores the application of microbiota-driven strategies to mitigate foodborne pathogens, extend shelf life, and optimize food quality. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent research, we examine how harnessing the dynamics of beneficial microbial communities can create a resilient barrier against undesirable microorganisms. We delve into mechanisms such as competitive exclusion, bacteriocin production, and metabolic cooperation that underpin the effectiveness of microbiota-driven interventions. Furthermore, we consider the implications of these approaches on both traditi.. Read More»
