Ultrasound-involved emerging strategies for controlling foodborne microbial biofilms

Pollution of foodborne microbial biofilms is a serious problem in the food industry. Microorganisms in the biofilms become insensitive to environmental stresses and increase tolerance to antimicrobial agents, therefore, making them extremely hard to be inactivated by conventional methods. Ultrasound-involved emerging strategies offer options for effectively controlling the biofilms formed on either food contact surfaces or real foods. This...
