Preservatives from food—For food: Pea protein hydrolysate as a novel bio‐preservative against Escherichia coli O157:H7 on a lettuce leaf

Abstract Fresh‐cut fruits and vegetables are becoming particularly popular as healthy fast‐food options; however, they present challenges such as accelerated rates of decay and increased risk for contamination when compared to whole produce. Given that food safety must remain paramount for producers...
