Sumario:Minimally processed foods represent a problem from the point of view of microbiological safety, since their processing implies a loss of extrinsic and intrinsic preservation factors. This paper analyzes the microbiological status of minimally processed foods and the prospects to extend their microbiological safety by the hurdles technology. Some issues to be taken into account for this technology are also considered. © 1998, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
