Bioconservation or biopreservation is an alternative method to the use of chemical preservatives. It consists in using microorganisms, called protective cultures, or their natural metabolites. Like any other method of preservation, it allows the control of the growth of pathogenic or spoilage flora, while preserving the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of the product. Fermentation is one of the oldest applications of bioconservation. Today the potential of protective cultures is also promising for various fresh or processed foods. In this work, an overview of current knowledge on biopreservation is proposed made from international scientific publications. The book focuses mainly on the use of microorganisms to improve the conservation of different foods. After an introductory chapter on the concepts of biopreservation, selection criteria, including safety aspects of the bioprotective cultures, as well as different mechanisms of inhibition known and studied in vitro, are developed. Then, three chapters are devoted to applications of protective cultures in three sectors: the sector of dairy products, the meat products, and the marine products. The next chapter discusses examples of use in other biopreservation food chains. In each of these chapters, which describe existing applications, the main pathogenic bacteria and spoilage encountered in the products concerned are presented, as well as specific examples of the application of each of these sectors.
