Lactic acid alone and its combined application with nisin were evaluated for reducing population of naturally occurring microorganisms on chilled shrimp. Fresh shrimps were dipped in 0, 1.0% and 2.0% (v/v) lactic acid alone and their combined application with 0.04 (g/L/kg) nisin solution for 10 min. Total plate counts of aerobic bacteria (TPCs), Psychrotrophic counts, population of Pseudomonas ...

it is possible to develop new biodegradable active packaging by coating biopolymers on paper-based packaging material and also incorporating proper antimicrobial agents into coating structure. in this study bacterial contamination of two commercial cardboard were evaluated.in order to manufacture an appropriate antibacterial packaging material, coating of chitosan-poly vinyl alcohol blends with...

materials and methods a multivariate variance experiment was performed. to assess the effect of essential oil, nisin and the incubation temperature on growth probability (log p%) of s. typhimurium and s. aureus, four concentrations of c. cyminum l. essential oil (0, 15, 30 and 45 µl/100 ml), three concentrations of nisin (0, 0.5 and 1.5 µg/ml) and three storage temperatures (10, 25 and 35°c) we...

Two Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis strains, NCK400 and LJH80, isolated from a commercial sauerkraut fermentation were shown to produce nisin. LJH80 was morphologically unstable and gave rise to two stable, nisin-producing (Nip+) derivatives, NCK318-2 and NCK318-3. NCK400 and derivatives of LJH80 exhibited identical morphological and metabolic characteristics, but could be distinguished on the...

Lantibiotics are believed to have a conceivable potential be used as therapeutics, especially against clinically resistant bacterial strains. However, their low solubility and poor stability under physiological conditions limit availability for clinical studies further pharmaceutical commercialization. Nisin is readily available cheap lanthipeptide thus serves good model in the search tools eng...

background and objectives:plant essential oils are sometimes considered for use as antimicrobial agents in foods and medicines and they could be combined with other antimicrobial agents to strengthen the effect and/or reduce the required dose. this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of the ocimum basilicum, salvia officinalis and trachyspermum ammi essential oils and eval...

objective(s): the objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activities of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (mgo np) alone or in combination with other antimicrobials (nisin and heat) against escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus in milk.materials and methods: first, the combined effect of nisin and mgo nanoparticles was investigated in milk. then the combined effect of nisi...

Bovine subclinical mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland caused by bacterial intramammary infection, accounting for large economic losses. Treatment of subclinical mastitis is not suggested for lactating cows due to the risk of milk contamination. The objectives of this study were to evaluate an antimicrobial peptide, nisin, in the treatment of subclinical mastitis in lactating cows....
