For that purpose, both antimicrobials were loaded into Oil-in-/Water nanoemulsions, and their antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis was investigated. The experimental results indicated that the O/W nanoemulsions loaded with both, nisin and carvacrol, having Sauter mean diameter （d3,2） of around 120 nm, were considerably stable under the conditions investigated （up to 1 week storage at room temperature）. The interfacial tension between nisin aqueous solutions and soybean oil could be reduced up to 12 mN/m, as compared to that of pure water and soybean oil （21 mN/m）, so that demonstrating the potential of nisin to be used as emulsifier. The results obtained for O/W nanoemulsions loaded with both antimicrobial compounds indicated a reduction of nearly two log cycles （around 100 times） on B. subtilis population upon incubation for 24 h, compared to the blank （10 mM phosphate buffer）.展开更多

Lantibiotic nisin is not conunonly used in the meat industry, in spite of its beneficial effect in e.g. dairy industry. Theretbre, here, the effect of nisin was searched in traditional fermented sausage Gombasek experimentally contaminated with Listeria innocua Lil strata Ihe antimicrobial effect of nisin was demonstrated by the Lil strain decrease at day 2 （after contamination） with the difference 1.79 logarithmic （log） cycles comparing with the control sausage （CLi）. At week l, the difference 4.14 log cycles was noted in the experimental sausages comparing with CLi sausages with prolonging inhibitory effect up to week 2; although the difference was diminished （1.82 log cycles）; but higher than at day 2, The pH values as well as lactic acid values were not influenced by the nisin treatment （pH value in the reference sausage was 5.0, in CLi 5.7 and in the experimental sausage E, 5.1; amount of lactic acid in t： was 0.099 mmol L^-1： and in CLi 0.107 mmol L^-1）.展开更多
