Foods with a parasitic bacterium, Bdellovibrio Bacteriovorus. The addition of B. bacteriovorus, an obligate parasite of gram-negative bacteria, to meats and meat products reduces the gram-negative population, lengthens the shelf-life, and reduces the risks of food-borne illness. The organism is intended to be applied to the surface of the food, onto food contact surfaces by spraying or dipping, or as part of a sanitizing rinse. It may also be used on uncooked seafoods and whole eggs. High parasitic activity occurs under aerobic conditions, near neutral pH, and at temperatures [greater or equal] to 20°C. Many pathogens are susceptible to attack by the parasitic organism. 1, record 1, English, - parasitic%20bacterium

Un nouveau système de conditionnement des aliments [:] Il s'agit d'une nouvelle technologie appelée SLB pour «Shelf Life Booster» («accélérateur de durée d'étalage»). Aujourd'hui, la technique la plus utilisée est le conditionnement sous atmosphère modifiée (MAP). [...] La technologie SLB n'utilise pas l'aspiration classique de l'air. Elle est basée sur l'utilisation de la force centrifuge pour remplacer l'air présent par un mélange gazeux approprié à chaque aliment afin d'améliorer sa durée d'étalage. [...] Le SLB est destiné à l'industrie agroalimentaire [...] 2, record 4, French, - acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9rateur%20de%20dur%C3%A9e%20d%27%C3%A9talage
