“…As such, it was found that the recovery and viability of cells surviving HHP or PEF treatment becomes compromised during storage in acidified products (Garcia-Graells et al, 1998; García et al, 2003), while the simultaneous combination of mild heat with HHP or PEF has proven to synergistically inactivate pathogenic bacteria (Patterson and Kilpatrick, 1998; Amiali et al, 2007; Torres et al, 2016). Likewise, some natural antimicrobial compounds (e.g., essential oils, reuterin, nisin) or enzymes (e.g., lysozyme, lactoperoxidase) have been shown to act synergistically with mild heat, PEF, or HHP in inactivating pathogens, thereby allowing a reduction in the intensity of the physical treatment and the concentration of antimicrobials and consequent impact on food quality (Masschalck et al, 2001; Saldaña et al, 2012; Ait-Ouazzou et al, 2013; Feyaerts et al, 2015; Montiel et al, 2015). …”
