Abstract:
The present invention relates to antimicrobial compositions which can be used in food preservation. The compositions according to the invention are based on the lactoperoxidase system (LPS), and comprise very low concentrations of lactoperoxidase, glucose oxidase, thiocyanate, and optionally glucose. The invention further relates to the use of such compositions, in particular in synergistic combination with heat treatment, in food preservation, methods for food preservation, and food products comprising these compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention provides: the use of bacteriophages for controlling unwanted fermentation of food-stuffs, especially silage and cheese, by bacteria; preparations for such use; and direct administration of similar preparations to ruminants to enhance the quality of the gut flora.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing cheese. The method is particularly suitable for shredded cheese or block cheeses. More in particular, the process comprises the step of adding an antifungal to the cheese. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a device for producing cheese.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating and preventing Listeriosis using recombinant bacteriophage (P100) and bacteriophage-derived endolysin (Ply100).
Abstract:
Beschrieben wird ein Stabilisierungsmittelfreies Solubilisat eines Konservierungsmittels enthaltend eine aliphatische und/oder eine aromatische Säure wie beispielsweise Sorbinsäure und/oder Benzoesäure sowie eine oder mehrere Emulgatoren mit einem HLB-Wert zwischen 9 und 18 mit einem Gehalt zwischen etwa 50 Gew% und etwa 95 Gew% an Emulgator, bezogen auf die Gesamtmenge des Solubilisats, sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Solubilisats.
Abstract:
Consumer products comprising a natural preservative system are described. The preservative system has a mixture of aliphatic and aromatic isothiocyanates in a ratio of 1:2 to 1:25 and is suitable for use in variety of consumer products .
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of nonanoic acid as an antimicrobial, in particular antifungal, agent or additive, in particular in or for foods, such as dairy products or fruit juices. A particular aspect of the invention comprises the use of nonanoic acid i a cheese coating. The invention also relates to a cheese coating in which nonanoic acid has been incorporated as antifungal agent; a cheese that has been provided with such a coating; and a nonanoic acid-containing composition for applying such a coating. The nonanoic acid is used in particular on or close to the surface of the food, or uniformly distributed through the food, in an amount of 10 - 10,000 ppm, in particular 100 - 1,000 ppm. The nonanoic acid can furthermore be used as an antimicrobial agent for treating substrates or surfaces, in particular substrates or surfaces that come into contact with foods; for protecting foods, cut flowers and bulbs during transport and/or during storage; in disinfectants and cleaning agents; to protect or treat wood; in cosmetics or skin care products; and in pharmaceutical compositions to prevent and treat fungal infections and yeast infections , such as Candida .
