Novel food preservation and microbial assessment techniques [

"The introduction of microbial ecology and ?hurdle theory? concepts in food microbiology during late 1980?s contributed greatly to its evolution, while the improvement of microbiological methods offered useful tools for monitoring microbiological quality and safety of foods. Subsequently, the d...
