The microbial distribution of raw materials and beef jerky, and the effect of nisin on the growth of Bacillus cereus inoculated in beef jerky during storage, were studied. Five strains of pathogenic B. cereus were detected in beef jerky, and identified with 99.8% agreement using API CHB 50 kit. To evaluate the effect of nisin, beef jerky was inoculated with approximately 3 Log CFU/g of B. cereus mixed culture and nisin (100 IU/g and 500 IU/g). During the storage of beef jerky without nisin, the number of mesophilic bacteria and B. cereus increased unlikely for beef jerky with nisin. B. cereus started to grow after 3 d in 100 IU nisin/g treatment, and after 21 d in 500 IU nisin/g treatment. The results suggest that nisin could be an effective approach to extend the shelf-life, and improve the microbial safety of beef jerky, during storage.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbial safety and physical qualities of Korean jerky, and the effect of nisin during storage. Jerky processed packages with or without nisin (100 IU or 500 IU) were stored at room temperature (25 $^{\circ}C$) for 60 days, and samples measured for quality at regular intervals throughout this storage period. In the case of 25$^{\circ}C$ storage, the number of mesophilic microorganisms in seasonedbeef packages without nisin increased markedly, but with nisin there was no observed increase. B. cereus cells showed similar trends, although coliform was not detected in all samples. At 25$^{\circ}C$ storage, changes in the cutting force of packages containing nisin showed no significant change, packages without nisin decreased markedly.

본 연구에서는 다양한 유래에서 분리한 병원성 세균 S. aureus에 대한 5종의 유기산(acetic, propionic, citric, malic, lactic acid)과 3종의 정유성분(carvacrol, thymol, eugenol) 및 그 밖의 자연유래 항균물질(nisin, cinnamic acid)의 항균효과, 최소저해농도 및 각각의 최소사멸농도를 연구하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 항균물질간의 혼합처리 시 항균효과를 평가함으로써 이와 같은 자연유래 항균물질들의 화학합성 보존제 대체 가능성을 연구하고자 하였다. Agar disc diffusion실험을 통해 propionic acid (1.38 cm) > nisin (1.00 cm) > thymol (0.98 cm) > carvacrol (0.90 cm) 순으로 S. aureus에 대해서 높은 항균력을 나타내었다. 최소저해 농도는 carvacrol (0.06%), thymol (0.06%), nisin (0.06%)이 항균효과가 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 그 이외의 항균물질의 경우 eugenol (0.13%), propionic acid (0.23%), acetic acid (0.38%), citric acid (0.60%), malic acid (1.66%) 순으로 효과가 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 항균물질간의 혼합 처리시 propionic acid와 citric acid의 결합처리 효과가 가장 높게 나타났다. 자연유래 항균물질은 합성 보존료에 비해 항균활성이 미약해 보존료의 이용이 어렵지만 본 연구결과 자연유래 항균물질들의 혼합처리를 통해 시너지 효과를 알 수 있었다. 따라서 자연유래 항균물질의 혼합처리를 통한 연구가 계속적으로 이루어진다면 인공 합성보존료를 대신하는 천연 보존료의 상업적 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Abstracts Soybean sprouts which are a popular vegetable in Korea, are produced using the techniques of sous vide. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nisin and storage temperature on the microbiological and physicochemical qualities of sous vide processed soybean sprouts during storage in order to improve shelf-life and industrial applications. During storage of the cook-chilled soybean sprouts at $3^{\circ}C$, no development of mesophilic microorganisms was observed. However, at $10^{\circ}C$ storage without nisin, the number of mesophilic microorganisms increased markedly, whereas sprouts stored at the same temperature with nisin showed no observed increase. Psychrotrophic microorganisms, anaerobic microorganisms, and Bacillus cereus all showed similar trends. The ascorbic acid content, following the sequential heat processing of soybean sprouts through blanching and pasteurization decreased markedly during early storage, and stabilized thereafter. During storage, no major changes in the color or ascorbic acid content of samples at either temperature were observed. With regard to microbial and physicochemical qualities, the presences of nisin and storage temperature are important factors for extending shelf-life of soybean sprout.

This review discusses the status, antimicrobial mechanisms, application, and regulation of natural preservatives in livestock food systems. Conventional preservatives are synthetic chemical substances including nitrates/nitrites, sulfites, sodium benzoate, propyl gallate, and potassium sorbate. The use of artificial preservatives is being reconsidered because of concerns relating to headache, allergies, and cancer. As the demand for biopreservation in food systems has increased, new natural antimicrobial compounds of various origins are being developed, including plant-derived products (polyphenolics, essential oils, plant antimicrobial peptides (pAMPs)), animal-derived products (lysozymes, lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin, ovotransferrin, antimicrobial peptide (AMP), chitosan and others), and microbial metabolites (nisin, natamycin, pullulan, ε-polylysine, organic acid, and others). These natural preservatives act by inhibiting microbial cell walls/membranes, DNA/RNA replication and transcription, protein synthesis, and metabolism. Natural preservatives have been recognized for their safety; however, these substances can influence color, smell, and toxicity in large amounts while being effective as a food preservative. Therefore, to evaluate the safety and toxicity of natural preservatives, various trials including combinations of other substances or different food preservation systems, and capsulation have been performed. Natamycin and nisin are currently the only natural preservatives being regulated, and other natural preservatives will have to be legally regulated before their widespread use.
