In spite of modern technologies and safety concepts, such as Hazard analysis and critical point (HACCP), the reported numbers of foodborne illnesses and intoxications are still increasing. It is estimated that approximately 2.2 million people in the world are killed annually because of foodborne and waterborne diseases, and these numbers continue rising due to an increasing resistance but also new emergence of pathogens. Also, the most frequently used techniques for maintaining the quality of fresh or processed food products have show drawbacks due to their potential health hazards (mainly carcinogenic effects) and the appearance of resistant strains. In addition, consumers are concerned about the presence of synthetic chemical residues in food products. Therefore, there is a growing interest to characterize the potential of natural antimicrobial compounds in food system and to develop methods to preserve their bioactivity during time and to improve their distribution in food system.

尽管有危险分析和临界点（HACCP）等现代技术和安全概念，但食源性疾病和中毒的报告数量仍在增加。据估计，世界上每年约有220万人死于食源性和水传播疾病，由于耐药性的增加以及病原体的新出现，这些数字继续上升。此外，用于保持新鲜或加工食品质量的最常用技术由于其潜在的健康危害（主要是致癌作用）和耐药菌株的出现而显示出缺点。此外，消费者对食品中存在的合成化学残留物感到担忧。因此，有越来越多的兴趣来表征天然抗菌化合物在食品系统中的潜力，并开发方法来保持其生物活性，并改善其在食品系统中的分布。
