This study was carried out to investigate the effects of mild heat, lactic acid, benzalkonium chloride and nisin treatments on the inactivation, sublethal injury, and subsequent growth of Listeria monocytogenes. Results showed that the Bigelow model successfully described the thermal inactivation kinetics, while the Log-linear model with tail consistently offered the most accurate fit to LA, BC, and nisin inactivation curves of cells. Differential plating indicated that percentage of sublethal injury for nisin treated cells was significantly higher than that for the other three treatments. Compared to non-treated cells, significant extension of lag time was observed for all treated cells. The longer exposures to heat treatment contributed to the extended lag time of the survivors. While for LA, BC and nisin treated cells, the longest lag time was not observed at the most severe treatment conditions. The correlation analysis of sublethal injury percentage on the duration of lag time revealed that only heat treatment showed the significant correlation. Overall, the lag time analysis could evaluate a wide range of bacterial injury. Lag time of treated cells was significantly influenced by stress treatments and temperatures of recovery, however, there were not any significant changes in the maximum specific growth rate between treated and non-treated cells under isothermal recovery conditions. The information generated from this study is valuable for utilizing intervention strategies in the elimination or growth inhibition of L. monocytogenes. |
