For centuries man has treated food to prolong its edible life, and
nowadays both traditional and modern preservatives are used widely
to ensure the satisfactory maintenance of quality and safety of
foods. There continues to be increased public concern about the use
of food additives, including preservatives, resulting from a
perception that some of them may have deleterious effects on
health. However, as eating habits have changed with an emphasis on
what has been popularly termed a `healthy diet', there is at the
same time a concern that reduction in preservative usage could lead
to loss of safety and protection from food poisoning. While some
preservatives are coming under increasing regulatory pressure
others, particularly more natural ones, are receiving increased
attention and gaining in importance and acceptability. This book
supports the continued safe and effective use of preservatives
within these current constraints. It therefore gives detailed
information on the practical use of the major antimicrobial
preservatives. Uniquely, it couples this with current understanding
of their modes of action, at the levels of cellular physiology and
biochemistry, in such a way as to provide a sound scientific basis
for their efficacy. Such an approach also encourages the future
logical development and use of preservatives.
