A specially engineered system is ready to deliver meat protection that attacks microbial contamination in a new way.
Among Naidu’s discoveries is the need to reduce or neutralize the net surface charge on lactoferrin molecules in order to enhance its growth- and adhesion-blocking effectiveness on biosurfaces. These lactoferrin molecules are particularly effective in preventing colonization by E. coli and dislodging pathogens already present on a food surface.
