ix lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains,
Lactococcus lactis
BFE 920,
L. lactis
subsp. lactis ATCC 11454,
L. lactis
subsp. cremoris
ATCC 14365,
Lactobacillus curvatus
L442,
Lact. curvatus
LTH 1174, and
Lact. bavaricus
MN, were grown in cheddar cheese
whey supplemented with complex nutrient sources. Cell-free culture supernatants were freeze-dried and the resulting bacteriocin-
containing powders were applied on the surface of hot dogs that were inoculated (~ 4 log cfu/hot dog) with a five-strain Listeria
monocytogenes cocktail. Hot dogs were vacuum sealed and stored at 4°C for 4 weeks.
L. monocytogenes
was enumerated, using both
Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) and Oxford Listeria Agar (OXA), on day 0 and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of the refrigerated storage. In hot dogs
containing only the
L. monocytogenes
inoculum,
L. monocytogenes
counts increased from 4 log cfu/hot dog up to 7 log cfu/hot dog.
All samples containing freeze-dried bacteriocin-containing powders exhibited significantly lowered (P < 0.05)
L. monocytogenes
populations on the surface of hot dogs throughout the 4-week study except for bavaricin MN powder. Bacterial counts on hot dogs
packed without any powder were statistically equal on day 0 when enumerated on OXA. Freeze-dried bacteriocin-containing powders
from L curvatus L442 and
L. lactis
subsp. cremoris ATCC 14365 decreased
L. monocytogenes
populations on the surface of hot dogs
by greater than 2 log cfu/hot dog throughout the 4-week study. For the powdered bacteriocin preparations from
L lactis
BFE 920,
L.
lactis
subsp. lactis ATCC 11454, and
L. curvatus
LTH 1174,
L. monocytogenes
populations were determined to be approximately 3-log
cfu/hot dog after 4 weeks of storage.
