In Vitro Screening of Short Synthetic Antimicrobial Peptides Toward Food-Relevant Microorganisms: Antifungal Activity and Molecular Docking Analysis
Food spoilage and foodborne microorganisms remain major challenges for food safety and preservation, stimulating the search for alternative antimicrobial agents compatible with minimally processed and clean-label products. In this study, six short synthetic peptides containing arginine, or both lysine and arginine resi...
