ABSTRACT
To develop a new microbial control method for microwave-freeze dried sea cucumber, nano-silver coating is tested as a potential technique. According to the experimental results, a 0.3 mg l-1 nano-silver coating can control over 99% of Bacillus subtilis in the process of microwave-freeze drying. To ensure a total microbial control effect, the nano-silver coating technique was combined with the microwave-freeze drying process. Nano-silver coating treatment was found to be effective in lowering the microorganism count and had no significant effect on drying efficiency.
