Published: July 2010

Lactobacillus curvatus CRL705 was examined for its effectiveness as protective culture in the biopreservation of vacuum-packaged fresh beef stored during 60 days at 2 degrees C. For this purpose, L. curvatus CRL705, producer of lactocin 705 and lactocin AL705, was inoculated on the meat surface (10(6)cfu g(-1)). This microorganism became the dominating population throughout the storage period controlling the growth of Brochothrix thermosphacta and spoilage lactic acid bacteria naturally present on the meat. When the microstructural characteristics of the meat were evaluated using light microscopy, beef samples inoculated with the bioprotective culture showed a 10days delay for the appearance of tissue degradation signs. Sensory analysis demonstrated that beef samples treated with L. curvatus CRL705 only developed an "acid" off-flavor after 60 days of refrigerated storage, and no undesirable off-odors were found. Therefore, inoculation with this bacteriocinogenic strain would provide an additional hurdle to improve storage life of refrigerated vacuum-packaged beef without affecting its sensory and structural characteristics.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of Lactobacillus curvatus CRL705, CRL1532, and CRL1533 and Lactobacillus sakei CRL1613 to survive under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Moreover, a microencapsulation approach was proposed to improve gastrointestinal survival. Finally, experiments were performed to demonstrate that Lactobacillus spp.

Fermented sausage technology is currently compromised in decreasing the addition of NaCl. Use of starter cultures with peptidogenic potential could be a valuable strategy that can mask or hide off flavors produced by the use of NaCl substituents. In the present work, the peptidogenic potential of four lactic acid bacteria species was evaluated in a low-sodium beaker sausage (BS) model.

Dipping solutions containing bacteriocins produced by CRL705 and CRL1862 (Bact705/1862), nisin and organic acids (lactic acid, LA; acetic acid, AA) were tested alone or in combination against inoculated by immersion on vacuum-packaged frankfurters stored at 10 °C during 36 days. LA/AA solution (2.5% v/v each) reduced pathogen population by 1.
