Antimicrobial films were formulated with sodium caseinate (C), glycerol and antimicrobial substances (AM) produced by Streptococcus infantarius. The antilisterial activity of the films was evaluated using Listeria monocytogenes as test microorganism and two incubation conditions: T = 35°C, 32 ± 10% RH and T = 4°C, 98 ± 10% RH. A comparison of the antimicrobial action was made with caseinate films carrying equivalent activity units of commercial nisin (Nis). At 35°C and 32% RH, AM increased the lag-phase and inhibited 80% of the growth of L. monocytogenes. At 4°C and 98% RH, C-Nis and C-AM films extended the lag-phase of the bacterial growth up to 11 and 38 days, respectively. AM showed a higher antilisterial effect than nisin at both incubation conditions. The incorporation of AM or Nis did not produce significant differences in the barrier properties of the films, but AM acted as an additional plasticizer into the films.Keywords: bacteriocins; water vapour permeability; oxygen permeability; nisin; pozol; caseinate Se formularon películas con caseinato de sodio (C), glicerol y sustancias antimicrobianas (AM) producidas por Streptococcus infantarius. La actividad antilisterial de las películas fue evaluada usando Listeria monocytogenes como microorganismo indicador y dos condiciones de incubación: T = 35°C, 32 ± 10% HR y T = 4°C, 98 ± 10% HR. Se comparó la actividad antimicrobiana con películas de caseinato que contenían nisina comercial (Nis) en unidades de actividad equivalentes. A 35°C y 32% HR, AM incrementó la fase lag e inhibió el 80% del crecimiento de L. monocytogenes. A 4°C y 98% HR, C-Nis y C-AM extendieron la fase lag del crecimiento bacteriano hasta 11 y 38 días, respectivamente. AM mostró mayor actividad antilisterial que nisina en ambas condiciones de incubación. La incorporación de AM o Nis no generó diferencias significativas en las propiedades de barrera de las películas, pero AM actuó como plastificante adicional en las películas.Palabras clave: bacteriocinas; permeabilidad al vapor de agua; permeabilidad al oxígeno; nisina; pozol; caseinato
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.
