ABSTRACT
Foods based on combined preservation methods (hurdle technology) are prevalent in industrialized as well as in developing countries. Often hurdle technology is applied empirically without knowing much about the governing principles of the preservation of a particular food. However, with a better understanding of these principles and improved monitoring devices, the deliberate application of hurdle technology has advanced. Recently, Singh and Shalini [1] reviewed products developed using hurdle technology. Subsequently, examples of the application of combined preservation methods in industrialized and in developing countries were given.
