This review examines the impact of microbial communities colonizing food processing
environments in the form of biofilms on food safety and food quality. The focus is both on …

Modern food processing environment provides an ideal condition for biofilms formation by
foodborne and spoilage microorganisms on different food contact surfaces. It is widely …

Most foodborne pathogens have biofilm‐forming capacity and prefer to grow in the form of
biofilms. Presence of biofilms on food contact surfaces can lead to persistence of pathogens …

The activation of water by non-thermal plasma creates a liquid with active constituents
referred to as plasma-activated water (PAW). Due to its active constituents, PAW may play …

Although many efforts have been made to control Listeria monocytogenes in the food
industry, growing pervasiveness amongst the population over the last decades has made …

environments.•Resident microbiota and environment in food industry may affect the …

Contaminated food-contact surfaces are recognized as the primary reason for recent L.
monocytogenes outbreaks in caramel apples and cantaloupes, highlighting the significance …

L. monocytogenes is able to form biofilms as survival strategy in food processing
environments. This study aimed to evaluate biofilm formation and sanitizer resistance of L …

Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive pathogen, that usually adheres to stainless steel
(SS), and other abiotic surfaces in food processing that undergo repeated cleaning and …

Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) offers great potential for decontamination of food borne
pathogens. This study examined the antimicrobial efficacy of ACP against a range of …
