Abstract Microbial meat spoilage is an important factor affecting the quality and safety of meat. Studies have shown that quorum sensing (QS) is closely related to meat spoilage. A quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI) is able to reduce bacterial spoilage by blocking the synthesis or transmission of QS signals and has become a promising target in the field of meat preservation. In this paper, bacterial QS, its influence on the spoilage of meat, and the origin, characteristics and mechanism of action of QSI are summarized. The problems and prospects in applying QS in the control of meat spoilage are also put forward.
