- Abstract:
Hurdle technology refers to the selective combination of multiple preservation and pathogen control methods to improve food quality and extend its shelf life. The technology takes its name from the various individual methods used by the strategy, each of which presents a “hurdle” that a pathogen must clear to maintain its continued active presence in the food item. Hurdle technology is also known by several other names, including combined method technology, combined preservation, and combination technology.
