Some preservatives are naturally contained in raw food materials, while in some cases may have been introduced in food by careless handling or fermentation. However, it is difficult to distinguish between intentionally added preservatives and the preservatives naturally produced in food. The objective of this study was to evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of propionic acid, sorbic acid, and benzoic acid for inhibiting food spoilage microorganisms in animal products, which can be useful in determining if the preservatives are natural or not. The broth microdilution method was used to determine the MIC of preservatives for 57 microorganisms. Five bacteria that were the most sensitive to propionic acid, benzoic acid, and sorbic acid were inoculated in unprocessed and processed animal products. A hundred microliters of the preservatives were then spiked in samples. After storage, the cells were counted to determine the MIC of the preservatives. The MIC of the preservatives in animal products ranged from 100 to 1,500 ppm for propionic acid, from 100 to >1,500 ppm for benzoic acid, and from 100 to >1,200 ppm for sorbic acid. Thus, if the concentrations of preservatives are below the MIC, the preservatives may not be added intentionally. Therefore, the MIC result will be useful in determining if preservatives are added intentionally in food.

This review discusses the status, antimicrobial mechanisms, application, and regulation of natural preservatives in livestock food systems. Conventional preservatives are synthetic chemical substances including nitrates/nitrites, sulfites, sodium benzoate, propyl gallate, and potassium sorbate. The use of artificial preservatives is being reconsidered because of concerns relating to headache, allergies, and cancer. As the demand for biopreservation in food systems has increased, new natural antimicrobial compounds of various origins are being developed, including plant-derived products (polyphenolics, essential oils, plant antimicrobial peptides (pAMPs)), animal-derived products (lysozymes, lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin, ovotransferrin, antimicrobial peptide (AMP), chitosan and others), and microbial metabolites (nisin, natamycin, pullulan, ε-polylysine, organic acid, and others). These natural preservatives act by inhibiting microbial cell walls/membranes, DNA/RNA replication and transcription, protein synthesis, and metabolism. Natural preservatives have been recognized for their safety; however, these substances can influence color, smell, and toxicity in large amounts while being effective as a food preservative. Therefore, to evaluate the safety and toxicity of natural preservatives, various trials including combinations of other substances or different food preservation systems, and capsulation have been performed. Natamycin and nisin are currently the only natural preservatives being regulated, and other natural preservatives will have to be legally regulated before their widespread use.

Consumers and industry experts frequently have negative perceptions of most chemical preservatives. Although most people concede that they cannot resolve global food waste issues without preservatives, they prefer products without chemical preservatives. Numerous emerging technologies is now surpassing conventional methods for mitigating microbial food deterioration in response to consumer demand and fundamental health and safety considerations, including biological antimicrobial systems such as using food-grade microorganisms and their metabolites primarily originating from microorganisms, plants, and animals. Microbial compounds, including bacteriocins, bacteriophages, and anti-fungal agents, plant extracts such as flavonoids and essential oils; and animal-originated compounds, such as lysozyme, chitosan, and lactoferrin, are considered some of the major bio-preservatives. These natural compounds can be used alone or with other preservatives to improve food safety. Hence, the use of microbes or their metabolic byproducts to extend the shelf life of foods while maintaining safety standards is known as bio-preservation. To manufacture and consume foods in a safe condition, this review primarily aims to broaden knowledge amongst industry professionals and consumers regarding bio-preservation techniques, bio-preservatives, their classifications, and distinctive mechanisms to enhance food safety.

The effect of condensates of phosphates on the preservative activity of the food additives, using eight micro-organisms, has been studied by the agar dilution method. It was found that condensates of phosphates increased the food preserving action of almost all of preservatives and they acted as a synergist for the action of almost all of preservatives. Disodium dihydrogen prrophosphate acted as the strongest synergist in the experiment. But sodium tripolyphosphate anhydrous, sodium poly-phosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate acted as a inhibitor for action of some preservatives on some orgnisms. The preservatives were sodium dehydroacetate (DHA), potassium sorbate and NaNO$_{2}$ etc. The action of sodium meta-phosphate on the preservatives produced a mean difference by their origins. It was supposed that such a difference was produced by the difference of amount of impurities that were contained in sodium metaphosphate, It was also supposed that the does of the preservatives could be reduced by addition of condensates of phosphates, acting as a synergist for the action of almost all of the preservatives.

Analytical method for preservatives in food was developed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Propionic acid, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, ethyl salicylate, ethyl p-hydroxy benzoate, iso-propyl p-hydroxy benzoate, n-propyl p-hydroxy benzoate, iso-butyl p-hydroxy benzoate, n-butyl p-hydroxy benzoate, p-hydroxy benzoic acid and dehydro acetic acid were extracted from cooling beverage with diethyl ether. The polar hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of food preservatives were derivatized with N-methyl-N-tert-butyldimethylisilyl-trifluoroscetamide (MTBSTFA) to form the corresponding tert-bytyldimethyl-silylated derivatives, and submitted to GC/MS analysis. The mass spectra of the derivatives were investigated for the selection of monitoring ions for multi-residue analysis of 11 preservatives by GC/MS. The macro program was also developed for the qualitative analysis of these preservatives in food.

Owing to the residual toxicity and adverse health effects of chemical preservatives, there is an increasing demand for using natural preservatives in food. Although many natural extracts have been evaluated, research on their antibacterial effects remains insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the possibility of developing Psidium guajava, Ecklonia cava, and Paeonia japonica (Makino) Miyabe & Takeda extracts as natural food preservatives. Further, the effect of mixing these extracts on microbial growth and quality was evaluated during the refrigeration of sausages. Optimal mixing ratios were determined based on the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of each mixed extract against the Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli. D-optimal mixing design optimization tool was further used to obtain an optimum mixing ratio of Formulation 1 (F1). The antibacterial activity of F1 increased with increasing concentration, with similar activities at 0.5% and 1%. The sausages with synthetic or natural preservatives showed significantly lower lipid oxidation than those of the control and grapefruit extract-treated sausages after 4 wk of refrigeration. Total plate counts were observed only in the control and treatment groups stored for 3 wk, and no significant effect of ascorbic acid was observed. Compared to the other samples, sausages with added natural extracts showed the highest overall acceptability scores initially and after 4 wk. Therefore, similar amounts of grapefruit seed and natural extracts had the same effect on microbiological analysis and lipid rancidity during sausage storage. Hence, this mixture can serve as a potential natural preservative in meat products.

본 연구에서는 신선돈육에 천연보존제를 첨가하여 지장온도에 따른 품질변화를 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. pH는 모든 시료에서 부패 수준인 pH 8.0을 넘지 않았으나, 대조구 보다는 천연보존제 처리구에서 낮은 pH의 값을 나타내었다. VBN 함량의 변화는 대조구에서 $4^{\circ}C$저장시 저장 20일, $0^{\circ}C$저장시에는 저장 25일이 경과하면 19mg%이상으로 초기 부패수준에 근접하였으나, 천연보존제 처리구는 저장온도에 상관없이 저장 25일까지 안정한 VBN 함량을 나타내었다. 총균수의 경 우 저장온도에 상관없이 대조구보다는 천연보존제 처리구에서 총균수가 낮게 나타났으며, $4^{\circ}C$저장군 대조구에서는 저장 20일이 경과하면서 $3.6{\times}10^6\;CFU/g$의 총균수를 나타내어 초기부패에 도달한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 mix 처리구의 경우 저장온도와 상관없이 가장 낮은 총균수를 나타내었으며, 대장균군은 온도와 천연보존제 처리 효과가 대장균군을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 관능평가는 색깔의 경우에 대조구에 비해 천연보존제 처리구들에서 저장 초기부터 색깔의 유의적인 차이를 나타냈으며, 이취에서도 처리구에 상관없이 저장기간이 경과할수록 모든 시료에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 종합적으로 고려하여 볼 때 돈육 등심을 $4^{\circ}C$ 온도 저장시 대조구에서는 15일 이하, 천연 보존제 처리구는 25일 이상의 품질수명이 예측되었다. 그러므로 대조구보다 천연보존제 첨가에 의한 품질수명의 연장효과는 약 7일 이상으로 사료된다.
