| Sumario: | Nettles, belonging to the genus Urtica in the family Urticaceae, have long been valued for their use as food preservatives for humans and animals. In addition, they have a rich history of use in traditional medicine for centuries. In some conventional methods, nettles are used to wrap food, especially cheeses, or added to fermented foods, leveraging their antimicrobial properties to extend shelf life. Nettles contain phenolic compounds and antioxidants that can act as natural preservatives. These compounds help prevent fat oxidation in foods, which can cause spoilage. |
