Abstract

The application of conventional preservatives in food has been reassessed due to the toxicity of some of classical additives, and it is important to search for new food preservation strategies. Thus, this study aimed to characterize an antilisterial bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) produced by Bacillus cereus LFB-FIOCRUZ 1640 and to evaluate the potential of the BLIS in pineapple pulp biopreservation. The proteinaceous nature of BLIS was confirmed by susceptibility to the enzyme α-chymotrypsin and it showed thermal stability for up to 30 min at 80 °C and in a wide pH range. After partial purification of the BLIS with Amberllite XAD-16 resin and cation-exchange SP-Sepharose “Fast Flow”, it was obtained a purification factor of 4.1 times and 30% of yield, and SDS-PAGE analyses revealed that the peptide has approximately 24.8 kDa. The Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of 2 mg mL−1 was determined with the biological indicator Listeria monocytogenes and this concentration of BLIS was applied in a model system containing pineapple pulp. The BLIS was bactericidal towards L. monocytogenes after 24 h at 37 °C, and these results indicate the application of the BLIS produced by B.cereus LFB-FIOCRUZ 1640 in food, especially for fruit pulp biopreservation.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Some bacteriocins are effective against important foodborne pathogens, such as L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella enterica, as well as other spoilage microorganisms.

    “Some of these bacteriocins are effective against important foodborne pathogens, such as L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella enterica, as well as other spoilage microorganisms [178,189,190,191,192].”
  • Bacteriocins are produced by only a few strains of different bacterial species, including LAB.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
