Abstract:Chemical components of hop resins effectively inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes in microbiological culture media. This study was conducted to investigate antilisterial activities of hop α- and β-acid in turkey slurry. Turkey slurries were inoculated with L. monocytogenes, formulated with hop α- or β-acid from 0 to 1,000 ppm, and incubated at 37°C for 24 h or at 7°C for 12 days. During storage at 37°C for 24 h, L. monocytogenes populations were reduced from 2.40 log CFU/g to non-detectable (<1 log CFU/g) i… Show more
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.
