Summary

The antilisterial effects of enterocins A and B in meat and meat products (cooked ham, minced pork meat, deboned chicken breasts, pâté, and slightly fermented sausages (espetec) have been shown. An infective dose of 5 to 10 most probable numbers (MPN)/g to simulate the counts of Listeria generally found in meat products was used. Enterocins at 4800 AU/G reduced the numbers of Listeria innocua by 7.98 log cycles in cooked ham and by 9 log cycles in pâté when stored at 7 °C for 37 days. In deboned chicken breasts stored at 7 °C for 7 days, 4800 AU/cm2 of enterocins diminished the L. innocua counts in 5.26 log cycles when compared to the control batch. In minced pork meat held at 7 °C for up to 6 days, 1600 AU/g kept L. innocua counts under 3 MPN/g, while the control batch reached 50 CFU/g.
