Abstract
Nisin was successfully incorporated into a matrix of calcium alginate and ground into micro-particles smaller than 150 microns. Formation of micro-particles and incorporation of nisin was verified by scanning electron microscopy and by the reduction in the inactivation of nisin activity with proteolytic enzymes. Incorporation efficiency was 87-93% and the nisin in the alginate-incorporated form was 100% active against an indicator culture of Lactobacillus curvatus both in MRS broth and reconstituted skim milk.Entities:
