Article Abstract
Plant extracts are increasingly becoming important additives in food industry due to their antimicrobial and antioxidant abilities that delay the development of off-flavors and improve the color stability in ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products. Due to their natural origin, they are excellent candidates to replace synthetic molecules, which are generally considered to have toxicological and carcinogenic effects. The efficient extraction of these antioxidant molecules from their natural sources, along with the determination of their activity in the commercialized products, have been a great challenge for researchers and food chain contributors. The objective of this review is to highlight the application of plant extracts to improve the shelf-life, nutritional and health-related properties of RTE meat products. The sensory effects of these extracts on RTE meat products as well as the possible synergistic effects of a combination of extracts are discussed.

Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is one of the most common food-borne diseases, highlighted as the top food-borne bacterial pathogen in the world with a low infectious dose (1 CFU) and high mortality rate. It is commonly associated with numerous foods such as dairy products, protein sources (multiple types of meat, poultry, and eggs), and bakery products.

Fungi are essential for a wide variety of food products and processes. They have a major role in the production of many fermented foodstuffs, may be eaten directly as fruit bodies and mycelium, and are used to produce food additives. They contribute to food production worldwide, even in cultures which do not typically consume mushrooms, because yeasts and edible moulds are utilised in a great variety of fermentation processes.

Purpose: To investigate how a group-based lifestyle intervention affects food choices and if the dietary patterns at the end of the intervention are associated with incidence type 2 diabetes (T2D). We also investigated if the possible associations between diet and T2D risk were modified by the genetic risk for T2D.
Methods: Participants in the T2D-GENE study were men with prediabetes aged 50-75 years, body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m, belonging in either low or high genetic risk score (GRS) tertile for T2D.

Recent estimates indicate chicken meat products as the prominent contributing sources of foodborne salmonellosis, accounting for 18.6 % of the Salmonella-related illnesses. Salmonella in poultry processing originates at production, with the fecal-oral route being a major route of spread.

Thymol is a major monoterpene compound from plants. Thymol exhibits antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Over the past few years, extensive research has underscored the pivotal role of thymol in delaying postharvest senescence in fruits and vegetables, suppressing fungal growth in meat products, and enhancing the shelf life of meat and processed foods.
