to test shelf life extension of Cheddar Processed Cheese at room temperature
using low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films incorporating nisin against Bacillus
cereus. In particular, the efficiency of different treatments was tested
against Bacillus cereus. Different concentrations (0, 500, 1000, 2000,
4000, 8000, 16000 IU mL-1) of nisin were used in activating (coating)
LDPE films. There was no mainly clear difference in inhibition zone from 2000
to 16000 IU, so that a concentration of 2000 IU was used for active packaging.
Four different treatments were tested in cheese: samples without coating; samples
without coating and inculcated by Bacillus cereus; samples coating by
polyethylene films that activated by nisin without inoculation and samples coating
by the same films and inoculated by Bacillus cereus. Microbiological
analyses including total count, spore forming bacteria and yeast and moulds
of the cheese samples were performed during 8 months. Results indicated that
the cheese which coated with polyethylene films that treated with nisin regardless
whether it was inculcated or not were free of Bacillus cereus bacteria.]]>Brewer, R., M.R. Adams and S.F. Park,2002Listeria monocytogenes by nisin in the presence of ethanol.]]>341821Chollet, E., I.
