Use Of A Bacteriocin Produced By Pediococcus Acidilactici To Inhibit Listeria Monocytogenes Associated With Fresh Meat, J. W. Nielsen, James S. Dickson, J. D. Crouse
Use Of A Bacteriocin Produced By Pediococcus Acidilactici To Inhibit Listeria Monocytogenes Associated With Fresh Meat, J. W. Nielsen, James S. Dickson, J. D. Crouse
James S. Dickson
A bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici had an inhibitory and bactericidal effect on Listeria monocytogenes associated with fresh meat. MICs were significantly lower than minimum killing concentrations. When meat was inoculated with L. monocytogenes, the bacteriocin reduced the number of attached bacteria in 2 min by 0.5 to 2.2 log cycles depending upon bacteriocin concentration. Meat treated initially with the bacteriocin resulted in attachment of 1.0 to 2.5 log cycles fewer bacteria than that attained with the control. The bacteriocin, after 28 days of refrigerated storage on meat surfaces, was stable and exhibited an inhibitory effect on L. monocytogenes.
Purification And Immunological Reactivity Of Commercial Microbial Milk Clotting Enzyme Preparations, Chima I. Osuala
Purification And Immunological Reactivity Of Commercial Microbial Milk Clotting Enzyme Preparations, Chima I. Osuala
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Commercial microbial milk clotting enzyme preparations were purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using purified antibody covalently coupled to porous glass beads as the column matrix. Commercial enzyme preparation diluted in 1 mM sodium acetate buffer at pH 5.0 was then biospecifically adsorbed to the column matrix by end-over-end mixing of the glass-antibody complex in the enzyme solution for 12 h at 5°C. The antibody bound enzyme adsorbed glass beads were soaked in .2 M glycine or ethanolarnine at pH 7.0 to block uncoupled reactive sites on the matrix. Following this, the column was washed with 1 mM sodium acetate …
Wheat Quality For The Japanese Flour Milling And Noodle Industries, Graham Crosbie, Dianne Miskelly, Tim Dewan
Wheat Quality For The Japanese Flour Milling And Noodle Industries, Graham Crosbie, Dianne Miskelly, Tim Dewan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
About one-third of Australia's wheat production is used in the manufacture of Asian noodles. Japan is one of our most important noodle wheat markets. In that country much of the 900,000 to 1,000,000 tonnes of Australian wheat bought each year is used for noodle production. About 70 per cent of this wheat is Australian Standard White (ASW)from Western Australia. ASWis highly regarded for its suitability for the production of white, Japanese-style noodles. The remainder comprises mainly Australian Prime Hard (APH) which is valued for the production of yellow, Chinese-style noodles and for various breads. This article discusses quality aspects associated …
The Segregation Of Wheat For Noodles, Graham Crosbie
The Segregation Of Wheat For Noodles, Graham Crosbie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Western Australian segregation of wheat of selected varieties to cater for the requirements of the established Japanese noodle wheat market and an emerging market for this type of wheat in South Korea started in the 1989-90 season. In this article, Graham Crosbie, who pressed strongly for this segregation, explains the background behind its introduction and the need to ensure its success.
The Accumulation And Run-Down Of Dieldrin In Wethers Grazed On Paddocks Previously Treated With Dieldrin, Tony Albertsen, Roy Casey, Keith Croker
The Accumulation And Run-Down Of Dieldrin In Wethers Grazed On Paddocks Previously Treated With Dieldrin, Tony Albertsen, Roy Casey, Keith Croker
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In mid 1987, the organochlorines (O/Cs) DDT, dieldrin, heptachlor and chlordane were deregistered for agricultural and horticultural use in Australia. These chemicals had been used widely, and land on several hundred Western Australian farms, particularly where potatoes had been grown, was contaminated with chemical residues. Livestock grazing pastures on such land was also contaminated, and our beef exports were threatened. In 1988, the Western Australian Department of Agriculture started a two-year project to collect information from sheep which were grazed on land that had previously been treated with O/Cs, particularly dieldrin. The levels of O/Cs in body and wool fats …
