Abstract:The study was aimed to (i) test the effect of polyethylene (LDPE) films coated by commercially available polyvinylchloride (PVC) lacquer with addition of nisin preparation Nisaplin ® (5% w/w) and/or natamycin preparation Delvocid TM (10% w/w) on the growth of target bacteria, yeasts and moulds on the surface of soft cheese Blaťácké zlato produced by company Madeta, a.s., Veselí nad Lužnicí, and (ii) prepare and study the antimicrobial films with incorporated lactic acid or sodium lactate, suitable for packaging of raw chicken meat. The cheese in contact with nisin/natamycin treated film was stored at temperature 4°C and 23°C for 23 days, while chicken meat packaged in lactic acid/sodium lactate releasing films was stored only at 4°C for 7 days. Released antimicrobial agents caused retardation of tested microorganism growth by more than 1 logarithmic cycle on the surface of cheese Blaťácké zlato and by more than 2 logarithmic cycles in raw chicken meat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
