    Active Packaging of Ground Beef Patties by Edible Zein Films Incorporated With Partially Purified Lysozyme and Na 2edta
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2011) Uysal Ünalan, İlke; Korel, Figen; Korel, Figen; Yemencioğlu, Ahmet; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, antimicrobial activity of zein films incorporated with partially purified lysozyme and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Na 2EDTA) has been tested on selected pathogenic bacteria and refrigerated ground beef patties. The developed films containing 700μgcm -2 lysozyme and 300μgcm -2 Na 2EDTA showed antimicrobial activity on Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella typhimurium. The application of lysozyme and Na 2EDTA incorporated zein films on beef patties significantly decreased total viable counts (TVC) and total coliform counts after 5days of storage compared to those of control patties (P<0.05). Zein films incorporated with lysozyme and Na 2EDTA or Na 2EDTA alone significantly slowed down the oxidative changes in patties during storage (P<0.05). Redness indices of patties coated with zein films were significantly lower than those of uncoated control patties during storage (P<0.05). This study demonstrated the potential usage of zein films containing lysozyme and Na 2EDTA for active packaging of refrigerated meat products. © 2011 The Authors.

    Antimicrobial Activity of Lactoperoxidase System Incorporated Into Cross-Linked Alginate Films
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2009) Yener, Fatih Yalçın Güneş; Korel, Figen; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Korel, Figen; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, the antimicrobial effect of lactoperoxidase (LPS) incorporated alginate films was investigated on Escherichia coli (NRRL B-3008), Listeria innocua (NRRL B-33314), and Pseudomonas fluorescens (NRRL B-253) in presence of different concentrations of H2O2 (0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mM) and KSCN (1, 2, and 4 mM). The incorporation of 70 nmol ABTS/min/cm2 LPS into alginate films gave 0.66 to 0.85 nmol ABTS/min/cm2 enzyme activity at 0.2 to 0.8 mM H2O 2 concentration range. The antimicrobial activity of LPS system on target bacteria changed according to the concentrations of KSCN and H 2O2. The growth of all tested bacteria was prevented for a 6-h period by applying LPS system in presence of 0.4 or 0.8 mM H 2O2 and 4 mM KSCN. At 0.8 mM H2O2 and 4 mM KSCN, the LPS system also inhibited growth of L. innocua and P. fluorescens for a 24-h incubation period, whereas E. coli growth could not be inhibited for 24 h under these conditions. At 0.2 mM H2O2 and 1 to 4 mM KSCN, a considerable inhibitory effect was obtained only on P. fluorescens. The decreasing order of the resistance of studied bacteria to LPS system is as follows: E. coli, L. innocua, and P. fluorescens. The developed antimicrobial system has a good potential for use in meat, poultry, and seafood since alginate coatings are already used in these products. Further studies are needed to test the LPS incorporated edible films in real food systems.
