Antimicrobial peptide cocktail activity in minced turkey meat

The multifaceted nature of antimicrobial peptides: current synthetic chemistry approaches and future directions

“…These peptide mixtures have therefore been proposed as potential food preservatives. [417][418][419] One important advantage of random peptide mixtures resides in the fact that purification is not required, rendering the synthesis low-cost.…”

A review of bioactive peptides as functional food ingredients: mechanisms of action and their applications in active packaging and food quality improvement

“…180 Goby protein hydrolysates (GPHs), which are produced by treating various gastrointestinal fish proteases with goby protein, are a good source of naturally occurring ACE-inhibitory and antioxidant peptides. The impact of ternary antimicrobial random peptide mixtures (RPMs) on food spoilage bacteria in minced turkey meat was studied by Palman et al 205 In experimental studies, adding RPMs to beef significantly reduced the amount of bacteria present, and RPMs and nitrite combined to further lower bacterial burdens. They studied the impact of RPMs and nitrite on the organization of the meat microbial community before and throughout incubation under refrigeration using high-throughput 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing.…”

Characterization of simplified nonapeptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities as potential food preservatives, and their antibacterial mechanism

“…Based on the previous methods, 13 the applications of 3IW and W2IW were assessed in fresh chicken meat. Briefly, fresh chicken meat was purchased from a local supermarket and immediately transferred to the lab.…”

“…1,8 More seriously, the long-term use of chemically synthesized preservatives is also one cause of health issues, including serious liver and kidney toxicity, carcinogenicity, and teratogenicity. [9][10][11][12][13] Therefore, more efforts are needed to develop new and safe biopreservatives to substitute the current chemical preservatives.…”
