Compositions and methods for controlling the growth of pathogens and spoilage microorganisms in high humidity and low sodium systems

摘要

The present invention allows pathogens and spoilage microorganisms to grow in an environment of high humidity (65-80% by weight) and low salt (less than 2.0% by weight) nutrients in a pH range of 5.5-8.5. A method of inhibiting will be described. Applying organic acids or their salts with fermentation-derived antimicrobial peptides provides a robust solution to limit the growth of spores and vegetative cells without the need for chemicals such as sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate .
