Efficacy of acidified water-in-oil emulsions against desiccated Salmonella as a function of acid carbon chain-length and membrane viscosity

Sanitizing low-moisture food (LMF) processing equipment is challenging due to the increased heat resistance of Salmonella spp. in low-water activity (aw) environments. Food-grade oils mixed with acetic acid have been shown effective against desiccated Salmonella. In this study, different hydrocarbon...
