SYSTEMS, METHODS,AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USING BACTERIALFOOD-SAFETY PREPARATIONS TO PROMOTE SAFETYAND PRESERVATION OF FOODS, BEVERAGES, AND NON-EDIBLE SURFACES

摘要

The present teachings disclose a food-preservation and/or food-safety process. The process includes (i) obtaining a growth medium; (ii) introducing an additive to the growth medium to form a food-safety-preparation precursor; (iii) inoculating the food-safety-preparation precursor with one or more types of lactic acid bacteria to form an inoculated food-safety-preparation precursor; (iv) incubating the inoculated food-safety-preparation precursor to produce a food-safety preparation; and (v) associating the food-safety preparation with a food to substantially inhibit growth of mold and/or yeast on or in the food during storage.
