| Resumo: | Foodborne illnesses caused by contaminated pathogens pose a global threat to public health. Simulations provide valuable insights into population dynamics, interactions, and bacterial adaptations, to have tools to control them without the need to experiment or apply them to reality. This study addresses bacterial growth inhibition through process simulation, focusing on phenolic compounds derived from nejayote, a byproduct of nixtamalization. Foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella typhimurium were used, highlighting their prevalence and contamination pathways in the food chain. The antimicrobial potential of phenolic compounds was explored, demonstrating their ability to inhibit bacterial growth in direct proportion to their concentration. The research suggests the viability of nejayote as an antimicrobial agent, emphasizing the importance of investigating residual compounds for biotechnological applications. These findings contribute to understanding underlying mechanisms and pave the way for future research to optimize the practical application of these compounds, solidifying their role in bacterial growth regulation and promoting food safety. |
