Say we take a carrot... or steak (or whatever food you fancy) and put it in a sealed container along with a culture of 'normal' bacteria (I'm talking about the regular bacteria that would be present to decompose food).
Now, here comes the question:
What would be the most effective way to stop (or even sterilize) the bacteria culture in the container, without compromising the food product, so that no proteins (or any other healthy stuff like vitamins), or taste are lost from the food.
I have thought about putting the food under pressure to kill the bacteria, or using CO2, but CO2 appears to lower the quality of the food.
Other things I considered using:
PEF
Drying (compromises food)
Antioxidants
Ozone (apparently it breaks down the proteine in the food, and is a 'little' lethal ;P)
Gimmi your best shot ^^
