Abstract: | The influence of pH (5.0-8.2), NaCl concentrations (0-6% w/v), and incubation time (0-24 h) on the inhibitory activity of nisin (0-100 I.U./ml) against Listeria monocytogenes (10(3) cfu/ml) was studied using the Doehlert experimental design and was confirmed by kinetic experiments. Predicted values were in agreement with experimental values. Experiments were carried out at 22 degrees C in reconstituted TSB-YE1 broth with or without NaCl. Nisin had an immediate pH-dependent bactericidal effect, which increased with decreasing pH values. In modified TSB-YE1 broth without NaCl, the bactericidal efficacy of nisin (50 I.U./ml) was maximum at pH 6.6, with no L. monocytogenes survivors until 120 h at 22 degrees C. Nisin (50 I.U./ml) action decreased in the presence of NaCl, with a minimal inhibitory effect between 2 and 4%. This partially protective effect was cancelled at higher levels of nisin. |
