AGROALNEXT Project: New decontamination system combined with ultra-clean processing and packaging to increase the shelf life of cut lettuce

  • Type Project
  • Scope Autonómico
  • Autonomous community Murcia, Región de
  • Main source of financing NextGenerationEU
  • Project website Web del Proyecto
Description
The project evaluates encapsulated essential oils as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical disinfectants for cut lettuce. It studies their antimicrobial effect, the impact of ultra-clean processing conditions, and validates the technology to improve food safety and shelf life.
Results
Disinfection with aqueous solution of encapsulated bioactive compound extract at 0.6% reduced the total mesophilic bacteria of cut lettuce by approximately 3 log CFU/g after 5 days (4 ºC).
