inferred that the “initial focus for riskmanagement
decisions should be the prevention of the growth
of this pathogen in foods to high levels”. We thus evaluated the
growth-inhibitory effect of appropriate concentrations and
binary combinations of nisin and salts of organic acids (sodium
lactate (SL), sodium diacetate (SD), sodium benzoate (SB) and
potassium sorbate (PS)). These antimicrobials are Generally
Recognized as Safe (GRAS).
