RESUMO
The effect of addition of purified nisin Z in liposomes to cheese milk and of in situ production of nisin Z by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis UL719 in the mixed starter on the inhibition of Listeria innocua in cheddar cheese was evaluated during 6 months of ripening. A cheese mixed starter culture containing Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis UL719 was selected for high-level nisin Z and acid production. Experimental cheddar cheeses were produced on a pilot scale, using the selected starter culture, from milk with added L. innocua (105 to 106 CFU/ml). Liposomes with purified nisin Z were prepared from proliposome H and added to cheese milk prior to renneting to give a final concentration of 300 IU/g of cheese. The nisin Z-producing strain and nisin Z-containing liposomes did not significantly affect cheese production and gross chemical composition of the cheeses. Immediately after cheese production, 3- and 1.5-log-unit reductions in viable counts of L. innocua were obtained in cheeses with encapsulated nisin and the nisinogenic starter, respectively. After 6 months, cheeses made with encapsulated nisin contained less than 10 CFU of L. innocua per g and 90% of the initial nisin activity, compared with 104 CFU/g and only 12% of initial activity in cheeses made with the nisinogenic starter. This study showed that encapsulation of nisin Z in liposomes can provide a powerful tool to improve nisin stability and inhibitory action in the cheese matrix while protecting the cheese starter from the detrimental action of nisin during cheese production.
