Chitosan-ZnO nanocomposite coating for inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes on the surface and within white brined cheese.

Several types of cheeses including white brined cheese have been linked to listeriosis outbreaks worldwide. This study aimed to (i) investigate the in vitro inhibitory activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) at concentrations of 0.0125-0.
