Abstract:Prolonging the shelf life of bread through cost-effective methods becomes imperative in times of a pandemic when numerous countries are grappling with extended lockdowns. This study explores the application of microwave food processing to identify pathogens by inducing rapid, selective heating within the material. A critical issue in microwave food processing is the uneven distribution of heat, creating cold spots that amplify pathogen growth, thereby increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses such as acute po… Show more
