Variabilidad de la respuesta de Listeria monocytogenes a las alta presiones hidrostáticasun caso de estudio en productos cárnicos

Resum

According to World Health Organization, unsafe food contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances, causes more than 200 diseases. Annually, around 2 million people died by the consequences of food- and waterborne diseases. Foodborne diseases are a threat for the socioeconomic development of the regions, straining health care systems, leading to malnutrition particularly in infants, children, elderly and immune-compromised people. Globalization has triggered growing consumer demand for a wider variety of foods, resulting in an increasingly complex food chain. In addition, changes in consumer habits have increased the number of people consuming ready-to-eat food products, increasing the risk of contaminated food with Listeria monocytogenes.
