Özet

In this study, the effect of lactococcin BZ on microbiological quality of fresh beef is investigated. For this purpose, the meat samples were treated with various amounts of lactococcin BZ (200-2500 AU/mL), a bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis spp. lactis BZ, and kept at 4-5 degrees C for 12 days. During storage, the microbiological properties of the meat samples with or without lactococcin BZ were determined. Inhibitory effect of lactococcin BZ depended on its amount. The higher the amount of lactococcin BZ, the higher the inhibitory activity. Treatment with lactococcin BZ at the level of 2500 AU/mL resulted in 4.87, 3.50 and 3.94 log cycle decrease in the counts of mesophilic, psychrotrophic and lactic acid bacteria, respectively, and 1.90.10(4) and 1.04.10(2) CFU/g reduction in conform and faecal conform bacteria, respectively, at the end of storage as compared to their initial numbers in the control sample. However, the counts of these bacteria in control samples increased during storage. Also, lactococcin BZ at 1600 AU/mL showed very strong antilisterial effect against Listeria innocua in fresh meat and reduced the cell numbers from 6.04 log CFU/g to undetectable level on the 6th day of storage. In conclusion, lactococcin BZ has a potential use as a biopreservation agent to improve safety and shelf life of raw beef.
