Abstract

|
In this study, the effect of combining oragnic acid and bacteriocin of E. faecalis MJ-213 isolated from Meju against L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569 growth in BHI broth and ground pork was investigated. In combination, the effects of 256 BU/ml bacteriocin and 1.5% acetic acid, citric acid or lactic acid were synergistic and effective than those compounds alone in controlling the viable cell counts of L. moncytogenes. The addition of increasing concentrations of the bacteriocin or organic acids led to a marked decrease in the number of L. monocytogenes. The combining treatment of the bacteriocin (256 BU/ml) and organic acid (1.5%) in ground pork inoculated with L. monocytogenes (5 log CFU/ml) resulted in 1 to 2 log CFU/ml reduction of cell counts during storage at 4oC for 60 h. Also, the bacteriocin of E. faecalis MJ-213 was relatively stable at 100oC for 20 min.
