REVIEW ON SCOPE AND APPLICATION OF POSTBIOTICS IN FOOD PRESERVATION
AbstractFood safety is at risk from several variables, including physical, chemical, and biological risks. In this context, biological risks are of utmost significance. The bacteria among them are crucial in producing food deterioration and food-borne illnesses. Additionally, a novel strategy has been applied in recent years that relies on pro-biotic and post-biotic to inhibit the increase of pathogenic microbes and the mediated corruption they cause because of their potent antimicrobial characteristics. The word “postbiotic” designates soluble elements produced by live bacteria or released following bacterial lysis, including enzymes, peptides, teichoic acids, muropeptides produced by peptidoglycans, polysaccharides, cell surface proteins, and organic acids. Postbiotics have a significant potential to be employed in the pharmaceutical, food, and nutraceutical sectors to improve health and disease prevention due to a variety of signaling substances that may have antioxidant, immune-modulatory, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and antiproliferative effects. The current investigation was to determine the antagonistic potential of the secreted probiotic filtrates, also known as postbiotics, generated from some microorganisms against pathogenic microbes such as Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli to enhance food safety. The theory behind foods having bacterial postbiotics is the fact that they are healthier than foods devoid of those modifications. This review attempts to provide a conceptual compilation regarding the application of bacterial postbiotics in food and to illustrate the health benefits of consuming foods containing bacterial postbiotics via both in-vitro and in-live experiments or clinical research.
