Despite significant advances in pathogen survival and food cleaning measures foodborne diseases continue to be the main reason for hospitalization or other fatality globally Conventional antibacterial techniques including pasteurization pressurized preparation radioactivity as well as synthetic antiseptics could indeed decrease bacterial activity in nutrition to variable levels despite their serious downsides like an elevated upfront outlay the possibility of accessing malfunctions due to one corrosiveness as well as an adverse effect upon those the foodstuffs organoleptic properties and maybe their nutritional significance Greatest significantly these cleansing methods eliminate all contaminants including numerous often beneficial bacteria found naturally in food A huge amount of scientific publication that discussed the application of virus bioremediation to treat a multitude of pathogenic bacteria in meals spanning between prepared raw food to fresh fruit and vegetables although since initial idea through using retroviruses on meals Furthermore the quantity of widely viable bacteriophage-containing medicines licensed for use in health and safety purposes has continuously expanded Bacteriophage bio-control a leafy and ordinary technique that employs lytic bacteriophages extracted from the atmosphere to selectively target pathogenic bacteria and remove meaningfully decrease their stages meals is one potential remedy that solves some of these difficulties It has been suggested that applying bacteriophages to food is a unique method for avoiding bacterial development in vegetables Because of their selectivity security stability and use bacteriophages are desirable Phages have been utilized in post-harvest activities either alone or in combination with antimicrobial drugs since they are effective strain-specific informal to split and manipulate In this review to ensure food safety it may be viable to use retroviruses as a spontaneous treatment in the thread pollution of fresh picked fruits and vegetables dairy and convenience foods 2023 The Authors Food Science Nutrition published by Wiley Periodicals LLC
