The incorporation of antimicrobial compounds into natural polymers can promote increased shelf life and ensure food safety. aim this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity, morphological, optical, mechanical, barrier properties corn starch films containing orange (Citrus sinensis var. Valencia) essential oil (OEO). were prepared using casting method. OEO incorporated with showed higher activity against Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogenes. addition morphological...
Bacteriocins are ribosomal-synthesized antimicrobial peptides that inhibit the growing of pathogenic and/or deteriorating bacteria. The most studied bacteriocin-producing microorganisms lactic acid bacteria (LAB), as they have great potential application in food biopreservation, since majority GRAS (Generally Recognized Safe) status. LAB-producing bacteriocins produced by these been widely studied, with emphasis on those derived from milk and dairy products. On other hand, isolates meat...
The aim of this study was to produce ultrafine fibers from zein incorporated with a complex eucalyptus essential oil (EEO) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) antimicrobial properties by electrospinning technique. EEO characterized chemical composition tests against three Gram positive four negative bacteria. inclusion (IC) prepared β-CD co-precipitation technique added at different concentrations in polymer solution using aqueous ethanol as solvent. morphology, thermal properties, functional groups,...
The ultrafine fibers were produced using a polymeric blend of soy protein isolate (SPI), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and zein at ratio 1:1:1 (v/v/v) by electrospinning. ginger essential oil (GEO) was encapsulated in the morphology, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, thermal properties relative crystallinity evaluated. antimicrobial activity evaluated against five bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium,...
In this study, a method was developed to encapsulated carvacrol in nanofibers from soluble potato starch. The added starch solutions at various concentrations (0, 20, 30 and 40% v/v) electrospun into fibers. morphology, size distribution, thermal stability, FT-IR spectra, relative crystallinity (RC) antioxidant of the fibers were analyzed. For mechanical properties antimicrobial activities evaluation nonwovens obtain. carvacrol-loaded showed homogeneous morphology average diameters ranging...
The aim of this study was to characterize the food safety aspects and enzymatic profile Staphylococcus xylosus LQ3 in vitro its influence curing process antioxidant capacity dried cured sausage. S. isolate susceptible all antimicrobials tested did not show any antimicrobial resistance genes. negative for hemolytic DNase activities. Moreover, no genes encoding alpha beta hemolysis or classical staphylococcal enterotoxins were identified. Enzymatic tests showed that presented lipolytic,...
ABSTRACT The aim was to evaluate the probiotic properties and safety aspects of isolate Pediococcus pentosaceus P107 as well its tolerance survivability in a simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) environment viability during storage natural yogurt. vitro evaluation based on GIT tolerance, bile salt resistance, acidic conditions. were assessed using gelatinase, DNAse, hemolytic activity tests, antimicrobial susceptibility, cytotoxicity. functional yogurt prepared with microbiological,...
The aims of this study were to develop and characterize a fermented sausage produced with different percentages mutton (from adult female sheep, over four years old) additional native starter cultures. Three treatments prepared: (T1) 30% mutton; (T2) 60% (T3) 90% mutton. Starter cultures Staphylococcus xylosus LQ3 Pediococcus pentosaceus P38 used for the fermentation/maturation process. parameters aw, pH, acidity, weight loss, monitoring evaluated during fermentation maturation processes....
The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition as well antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic properties essential oil Mentha piperita L. (peppermint). Fifteen constituents were identified in oil, for a total 99.99% compounds. exhibited antimicrobial activity against two Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus Listeria monocytogenes. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) monocytogenes 1.84 μg/ml, whereas bactericidal (MBC) values 3.7 7.43 respectively....
