the authors noticed that aerobically displayed nisin -
lysozyme treated meat spoiled sooner than
untreated meat. They attributed this to inhibition
of lactic acid bacteria and a resultant
shift to putrefactive bacterial spoilers. In
summary, a combined lysozyme/nisin/EDTA
mixture may be a promising tool for extension
of the shelf life of anaerobically packaged
meats by inhibiting lactic acid bacteria,
which is the predominant bacterial spoilage
group capable of growth in such conditions.
