Control of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms from cheese surface by whey protein films containing malic acid, nisin and natamycin
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inhibitory effects of nisin, natamycin and malic acid, incorporated in whey protein films with pH 3, were investigated alone or with addition of sucrose esters, Tween80 or EDTA. Water vapour permeability measurements and mechanical and rheological tests were also assessed. EDTA and Tween80 did not significantly (P < 0.05) influence the inhibitory activity of films against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Yarrowia lipolytica in contrast with the improved effect against Listeria monocytogenes, Penicillium commune and Penicillium chrysogenum. Sucrose esters reduced significantly (P < 0.05) the inhibitory effect for Y. lipolytica and Penicillium spp. The present work provides an antimicrobial film formulation with potential to be a hurdle against spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms isolated from cheese surface. 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

The effect of whey protein concentrate based edible coating incorporating different concentrations of natamycin and lysozyme-xanthan gum conjugate on ultrafiltrated white cheese shelf life was investigated. Escherichia coli O157: H7 (as an indicator for gram negative bacteria), Staphylococcus aureus (as an indicator of gram-positive bacteria), and Penicillium chrysogenum (as a mold) were inocul...

Whey protein isolate and glycerol were mixed to form a matrix to incorporate antimicrobial agents and produce edible films with antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from cheeses. Various organic acids were used to decrease pH down to approximately 3. In a preliminary assay without nisin, the effect of each organic acid was evaluated with respect to the rheologi...

Nisin is a widely used naturally occurring antimicrobial effective against many pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. It has been proposed that reduced efficacy of nisin in foods can be improved by technologies such as encapsulation to protect it from interferences by food matrix components. This study was carried out to evaluate the microbiological quality of fresh trout slices treated with ...
