Vegetables may be preserved by fermentation, direct acidification, or a combination of these, along with pasteurization, to yield products with an extended shelf life and enhanced safety.  Effect of lowering the pH, either by adding acid or lactic fermentation, on thermal process requirements for canned vegetables was investigated. Malic acid was preferred for acidification of canned vegetables...

Many antibiotics have been screened for inhibition of sporeforming bacteria during the last 10 years in this laboratory. The effect of some of these antibiotics on canned food spoilage bacteria has previously been described (Denny and Bohrer, 1959). Recently, two antibiotics which eventually may be of use in food processing have been through a preliminary screening in this laboratory. These ant...
