A method of extending shelf-life of food is provided herein. The extended shelf-life is provided by treating the food with at least one shelf-life extender selected from a group consisting of an isothiocyanate, a non-aromatic cyclic ketone, a boronic acid and a ligand.

Provided are foodstuff treatment systems that are convertible between a processing mode in which foodstuffs are processed (e.g., disinfected) and a clean-in-place mode in which the system operates to clean material (e.g., biological buildup) that has accumulated within the system.

Suggested is a method for improving antimicrobial stability of a composition comprising or consisting of glycolipids, said glycolipids being selected from at least one ustilagic acid according to formula (I)-(III) or compounds 1-6.

Presented are compositions that can be used as antimicrobial coatings or protective coatings for agricultural (e.g., food) products. The compositions can comprise one or more saturated glycerides selected from monoglycerides and diglycerides; one or more surfactants; and one or more food-safe antimicrobials. The antimicrobial coatings or protective coatings can be used to prevent or delay food spoilage due to, for instance, infection by a foreign pathogen, moisture loss, or oxidation.

The present invention relates to a combination, a composition, and an application method thereof for preventing or decreasing post-harvest spoilage or decay and extending shelf life of agricultural produce. The present invention provides a method of preventing or decreasing post-harvest spoilage or decay and extending shelf-life of an agricultural produce by applying a combination comprising cinnamaldehyde and a fungicidal active, or a composition comprising said combination.
