Reduction and Growth Inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes by Use of Anti-Listerial Nisin, P100 Phages and Buffered Dry Vinegar Fermentates in Standard and Sodium-Reduced Cold-Smoked Salmon.

ABSTRACT: Cold-smoked salmon are ready-to-eat products that may support the growth of pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes during their long shelf-life. Consumption of such contaminated products can cause fatal listeriosis infections. Another challenge and potential risk associated with CS salmon is their high levels of sodium salt. Excess dietary intake is associated with serious health complications. In the present study, anti-listerial bacteriocin (nisin), P100 bacteriophages (Phageguard L, PGL) and fermentates (Verdad N6, P-NDV) were evaluated as commercial bio-preservation strategies for increased control of L. monocytogenes in standard (with NaCl) and sodium-reduced (NaCl partially replaced with KCl) CS salmon. Treatments of CS salmon with nisin (1 ppm) and PGL (5 × 10⁷ p
