Furthermore, biopreservation technology, which refers to the shelf-life extension and improvement of food safety by using microorganisms and/or their metabolites, raises as an interesting and cost-effective alternative; however, biopreservation technology must be combinedwith different hurdles (refrigeration, vacuum-packing, salting, etc.) in order to become a viablealternative.
In this respect, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may be considered as biopreservative agents since they produce awide range of antimicrobial metabolites including the production of bacteriocins (Cintas et al., 2001; Deegan et al., 2006).
