“…Conditions present in a food environment as well as the effect of the smoking-process method used, could affect the growth and antimicrobial activity of LAB. Moreover, Racioppo et al [ 90 ] used the Food Spoilage and Safety Predictor (FSSP) to model the effect of temperature, salt, liquid smoke, CO 2 , and nitrites on the growth of LAB in fermented smoked fish products, demonstrating that liquid smoke, followed by temperature and salt had the strongest effect on the fermentation process. Uyttendaele et al [ 72 ] reported growth limitation of L. monocytogenes in smoked fish when combining low pH (5.5–6), and low a w (0.93–0.94).…”
