The Future Trend Natural Preservatives in the Food System: Essential Oils

Abstract

Essential oils mainly used in food industry for food preservation are a main source of many bioactive compounds, which have antioxidant property, antimicrobial activity and also flavoring agents. Natural preservatives used in food products are suitable to be used for food preservation in order to extend the shelf-life and maintain the quality of foods. In this preservative application, more alternative approaches is required in order to meet consumer demands, establish food quality and preserve food products from environmental factors and maintain safety of foods due to increasing consumer awareness for healthy food products. This study presents an overview of essential oils and use of essential oils in the preservation of food products and also the most recent researches on essential oils incorporate into the food system.

Keywords

• essential oil
• natural preservatives
• food system
• lipid oxidation
• shelf life

Gıda Sisteminde Geleceğin Trendi Doğal Koruyucular: Esansiyel Yağ

Öz

Temel olarak gıda endüstrisinde gıda muhafazası için kullanılan uçucu yağlar, antioksidan özelliği, antimikrobiyal aktivite ve ayrıca aroma verici ajanları olan birçok biyoaktif bileşiğin ana kaynağıdır. Gıda ürünlerinde kullanılan doğal koruyucular, gıdaların raf ömrünü uzatmak ve kalitesini korumak amacıyla gıda muhafazasında kullanılmaya uygundur. Bu koruyucu uygulamada, tüketici taleplerinin karşılanması, gıda kalitesinin oluşturulması ve gıda ürünlerinin çevresel faktörlerden korunması ve sağlıklı gıda ürünlerine yönelik tüketici bilincinin artması nedeniyle gıdaların güvenliğinin sağlanması için daha alternatif yaklaşımlara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışma uçucu yağlar ve gıda ürünlerinin korunmasında uçucu yağların kullanımına ve ayrıca gıda sistemine dahil edilen uçucu yağlarla ilgili en son araştırmalara genel bir bakış sunmaktadır.
