Abstract
The live-Enterococcus-doped film showed a more remarkable activity than nisin- and enterocin-doped films over long times both at 4â¯Â°C and 22â¯Â°C. The use of this film at 22â¯Â°C resulted in full inactivation of L. monocytogenes from the seventh day of the test. Live-Enterococcus-doped film displayed a much better antilisterial activity in comparison to nisin- and enterocin-doped films also in samples incubated at 4â¯Â°C, and submitted at one day (3rd or 7th day) of storage at 30â¯Â°C, to simulate cold chain break conditions. All results suggest that the live-Enterococcus-doped film can behave as a smart active food packaging, very effective in cold chain break conditions when the Listeria growth is fast.
