COMPOUND AND METHOD FOR INHIBITING GROWTH OF PATHOGENS AND SPOILAGE ORGANISMS IN FOODS AND FEEDS AND FOOD AND FEED COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SAME

摘要

The storage life of foods and feeds is extended by treating same with acyloxyalkenoic acids, especially a mixture of acetoxyhexenoic acids. The acyloxyalkenoic acids are shown to inhibit pathogens and food spoilage organisms in laboratory culture media and foodstuffs.
