    Layer-By Assembly of Lysozyme With Iota-Carrageenan and Gum Arabic for Surface Modification of Food Packaging Materials With Improved Barrier Properties
    (Elsevier, 2022) Koca, Nazan; Bayramoğlu, Beste
    The study aimed to investigate the surface modification of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of lysozyme (LZ) with two different polysaccharides, iota-carrageenan (IC) and gum arabic (GA), for food packaging applications. The effects of solution pH, adsorption time, elimination of intermediate drying steps were investigated. The LbL film growth was monitored up to 10 deposition steps by UV–Vis spectroscopy and in situ surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The most successful processing conditions for both types of coatings were pH 7–7 combination with intermediate drying and 20 min adsorption time. SPR pointed out a ‘dissolution/reconstruction’ mechanism in film formation. The thickness and surface morphology of the coatings were characterized by Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The surface roughnesses of LZ/IC coatings were higher than that of LZ/GA coatings indicating a denser matrix in the latter. Deposition of 5 bilayers of LZ/IC and LZ/GA on BOPP resulted in 66.15% and 56.89% reduction in oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of the film, respectively. The corresponding reductions in water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) were 28% and 33.52%, respectively. Elimination of intermediate drying steps resulted in less overall deposition, rougher surfaces, diminished oxygen and water barrier properties. The edible LbL coatings obtained in this study possess good gas barrier properties, which is very promising for their use in the preservation of fresh/fresh-cut produce in combination with modified atmosphere packaging applications. The results promise reduced use of plastic films in food packaging.

    Control of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Fermented Beverages Using Lysozyme and Nisin: Test of Traditional Beverage Boza as a Model Food System
    (Wiley, 2018) Sözbilen, Gözde Seval; Korel, Figen; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    The objective of this study was to increase quality and limited shelf-life of boza (3–15 days), a traditional Balkan origin fermented beverage using lysozyme (LYS) and/or nisin (NIS). For this purpose, the effectiveness of NIS, LYS and LYS:NIS combinations was first tested in a broth medium at 4 °C for 3 weeks on Lactobacillus plantarum, one of the frequently isolated lactic acid bacteria in boza. Stability of LYS and NIS in boza, their effects on LAB counts, and chemical and sensory properties of boza were then evaluated during cold storage at 4 °C. Results of LAB counts as well as pH, d- and l-lactic acid, and titratable acidity measurements showed that LAB in boza containing NIS (250 μg g−1) or LYS:NIS (500:250 μg g−1) could be controlled without reducing LAB counts below 6 log CFU mL−1 during 2 weeks shelf-life. In contrast, LYS (500 μg g−1) alone could not control LAB in boza to delay its acidic spoilage. Positive effects of NIS and LYS:NIS application on quality of boza were also proved with sensory analysis by panelists and e-nose measurements. This work showed that use of natural GRAS agents in preservation of fermented beverages containing probiotic LAB is possible without affecting their characteristic aroma and flavour.

    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; Yemencioğlu, Ahmet
    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.
