Pullulan

The researchers found that when experimentally inoculated surfaces of turkey breast were treated with pullulan films, Listeria monocytogenes populations were reduced dramatically after three weeks under refrigerated storage. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The aim of the Penn State study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sakacin A against strains of Listeria monocytogenes that have caused foodborne outbreaks and to study the efficacy of a pullulan film containing sakacin A to control the growth of the pathogen in turkey deli meat. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)

"As soon as the pullulan film contacts a moist surface such as meat, it meshes right into the surface, and as it dissolves, it releases the antimicrobial." ❋ Unknown (2010)

John Floros, professor and head of food science, and Valentina Trinetta, a visiting scholar from the University of Milan, Italy -- also confirmed the feasibility of using active pullulan films to deliver a bacteriocin directly to a food surface. ❋ Unknown (2010)

If you want to show someone they're special, there's nothing like a little pullulan. ❋ Unknown (2010)

These results demonstrate the possibility of using sakacin A-containing pullulan film to inhibit or reduce the pathogen on the surfaces of ready-to-eat foods. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)

In the study, which was published in the March issue of the Journal of Food Safety, the researchers demonstrated the effectiveness of pullulan films containing antimicrobial sakacin A to control Listeria monocytogenes growth. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Fig. 9B, we observed that a SAP antiserum was able to reduce the activity of GAS to catabolize pullulan, up to 50\% of the initial activity. ❋ Isabella Santi Et Al. (2008)
