According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a comprehensive method for treating food to inhibit bacterial growth, thereby extending shelf life and enhancing food safety. The method combines the application of bacteriostatic agents with the creation of a controlled environment conducive to food preservation. Bacteriostatic agents, such as salt, sugar, organic acids, antimicrobial peptides, or natural antimicrobial compounds, are applied onto the surface of the food to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Concurrently, the food is subjected to a controlled environment where factors like temperature, humidity, and atmospheric composition are regulated to create conditions unfavorable for bacterial proliferation. Optionally, the treated food may be packaged in hermetically sealed containers to further enhance preservation. By leveraging this method, food producers and distributors can significantly extend the shelf life of various food products while ensuring their safety and quality. The invention offers a versatile solution applicable to a wide range of food items, representing a significant advancement in the field of food preservation."
