Bacteriophages are biocontrol agents that can be used in the food industry for pathogen detection and bio-preservation, improving food quality and preventing foodborne illness.
Bacteriophages have been regarded as biocontrol agents that can be used in the food industry. They can be used in various applications, such as pathogen detection and bio-preservation. Their potential to improve the quality of food and prevent foodborne illness is widespread. These bacterial viruses can also be utilized in the preservation of various other food products. The specificity and high sensitivity of bacteriophages when they lyse bacterial targets have been regarded as important factors that contribute to their great potential utility in the food industry. This review will provide an overview of their current and potential applications.
