Modeling microbial competition in foods. Application to the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes and lactic acid flora in diced bacon
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current models developed in predictive microbiology to describe interactions between microflora in foods are reviewed, with a special focus on the Jameson-effect and LotkaVolterra approaches. One case-study is further explored: modelling the sparse growth of Listeria monocytogenes in diced bacon along the shelf-life.

Probabilistic modeling of Listeria monocytogenes behaviour in diced bacon along the manufacture process chain
To assess the impact of the manufacturing process on the fate of L. monocytogenes, we built a probabilistic model describing successively the different steps of the process. The model was actually designed as a hierarchical Bayesian network leading to the elicitation of human expertise. Contamination evolution was modelled in the adequate units (breasts, dices, then packaging units through the ...
متن کاملSuppression of Listeria monocytogenes by the Native Micro-Flora in Teewurst Sausage
Modern consumers are interested in the use of non-chemical methods to control pathogens when heat sterilization is not an option. Such is the case with teewurst sausage, a raw spreadable sausage and a popular German commodity. Although Listeria was not found in teewurst, the optimal microbial growing conditions of teewurst coupled with the ubiquity of L. monocytogenes in nature, makes the possi...
متن کاملAntibacterial activity of Enterococcus faecium derived from Koopeh cheese against Listeria monocytogenes in probiotic ultra-filtrated cheese
Viability of probiotic bacteria in food during maintenance and time of consuming in food has become a challenge in food hygiene and technology and is important for representing their beneficial health effects. The aim of this study was to determine the survival of probiotic Enterococcus faecium derived from Koopeh cheese added to industrial Iranian ultra-filtrated (UF) cheese and screening for ...
متن کاملModeling of the competitive growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Lactococcus lactis in vegetable broth.
Current mathematical models used by food microbiologists do not address the issue of competitive growth in mixed cultures of bacteria. We developed a mathematical model which consists of a system of nonlinear differential equations describing the growth of competing bacterial cell cultures. In this model, bacterial cell growth is limited by the accumulation of protonated lactic acid and decreas...
متن کاملStrategies for Pathogen Biocontrol Using Lactic Acid Bacteria and Their Metabolites: A Focus on Meat Ecosystems and Industrial Environments
The globalization of trade and lifestyle ensure that the factors responsible for the emergence of diseases are more present than ever. Despite biotechnology advancements, meat-based foods are still under scrutiny because of the presence of pathogens, which causes a loss of consumer confidence and consequently a fall in demand. In this context, Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) as GRAS organisms offer ...
