Effect of combined physico-chemical treatments based on enterocin AS-48 on the control of Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in a model cooked ham

Enterocin AS-48 was tested alone or in combination with chemical preservatives and/or heat against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in a cooked ham model system. AS-48 (20, 40 and 60 lg g1) alone was active against L. monocytogenes at 5 and 15 C, but it was not sufficient to avoid re...

Sumario:Enterocin AS-48 was tested alone or in combination with chemical preservatives and/or heat against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in a cooked ham model system. AS-48 (20, 40 and 60 lg g1) alone was active against L. monocytogenes at 5 and 15 C, but it was not sufficient to avoid regrowth of Listeria during the 60 days storage. Combination of AS-48 (40 lg g1) with nitrite/nitrate, pentasodium tripolyphosphate, sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate improved the anti-listeria effect during storage at 5 C. The most effective combination was AS-48-nitrite/nitrate (0.007%) that reduced listeria below detection level from the beginning to end of storage. Although much more resistant, S. aureus was also inhibited by AS-48 alone at 5 C, and especially in combinations with nitrite/nitrate, pentasodium tripolyphosphate, sodium lactate and sodium acetate. Best results against both pathogens were obtained when sodium pyrophosphate was applied in combination with 60 lg g1 AS-48. Sub-lethal heat (60 C, 2 min) clearly increased AS-48 activity against both Listeria and Staphylococcus
