Abstract

To investigate the biopreservative effectiveness of pediocin ACCEL on refrigerated seafoods, fresh fish fillets were immersed in various concentrations of pediocin ACCEL and then stored at either 4° or 0°C. Samples treated with nisin were used as a positive control. The aerobic plate counts (APC) of samples with bacteriocins were <2.0 log10cfu/g (log cfu/g) after 2 days storage at 0°C, except that with 1500 IU/mL of pediocin ACCEL. The APC of samples with nisin were >2.0 log cfu/g after 2 days storage, while those with pediocin ACCEL occurred after 1 day storage at 4°C. In refrigerated seafoods, pediocin ACCEL and nisin suppressed the growth of inoculated Listeria monocytogenes during 2- and 1-week storage at 4°C, respectively. Compared with nisin, the pediocin ACCEL was considered to be more effective on the suppression of L. monocytogenes growth in refrigerated seafoods during 2-week storage at 4°C.
