Abstract
Abstract Pathogenic microorganism contamination of food and feed is a serious problem worldwide. The use of microorganism to preserve food and feed has gained importance in recent years due to the demand for the reduced use of chemical preservatives by consumers and the increasing number of microbial species resistant to antibiotics and preservatives. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) not only produce various antimicrobial compounds that are considered important in the bio-preservation of food and feed and are both cost-effective and safe. At present, many pieces of data have shown that LAB, as a bio-preservative, can improve the quality of food and feed and prolong their shelf life. This review summarises these findings and demonstrates that LAB are promising biological agents for food and feed safety.
