  1. Incorporation of A511 bacteriophage in a whey protein isolate-based edible coating for the control of Listeria monocytogenes in Cheese

    • Food Packaging and Shelf Life

    • In the present study authors aimed at studying, for the first time, the control of Listeria monocytogenes in cheese by adding A511 bacteriophage into a whey protein isolate (WPI)-based coating. Antibacterial activity, bacteriophage stability as well as physicochemical properties of dip-coated cheese were evaluated. Results showed that bacteriophage remains stable in WPI-coating for a 16-d period.

  2. In-package cold plasma treatment enhances the antimicrobial efficacy of malic acid-incorporated whey protein edible coating against Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes in steamed fish paste

    • Food Packaging and Shelf Life

    • An in-package atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma (CP) treatment integrated with malic acid (MA)-incorporated whey protein isolate coating treatment (MA-WPI + CP treatment) was developed to inactivate Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes in steamed fish paste packaged in a plastic container. MA-WPI + CP treatment inactivated Salmonella and L.
