Abstract
To control the spoilage and safety of food, various preservation strategies have been developed. The use of natural antimicrobials is a recent such strategy, with increasing research and commercial applications. This chapter reviews the range of these natural antimicrobials, their applications and the efficacies of those applications. The direct application of natural antimicrobials to food includes chemical and biological agents and physical intervention methods.
