With growing microbial challenges, creating food safety solutions has become more important than ever before. While manufacturers are pushing for effective food safety solutions, consumers are also demanding familiar ingredients to do the job. At Kemin, we recognize the need for consumer-friendly ingredients for meat safety with BactoCEASE NV, a buffered vinegar for pathogen control.

Food borne pathogens are a serious cause for concern. With the potential to harm consumers, inhibiting microbial growth in food products is a driving force in the food industry today. Manufacturers need a solution to address this issue; however, manufacturers also must protect their brand consistency. Food safety solutions must not negatively impact any quality or sensory attributes. Therefore, this study looked to determine the effectiveness of the buffered vinegar in ready-to-eat meat as well as the impact it had on sensory and quality characteristics. At the duration of the study, BactoCEASE NV showed effectiveness against Listeria monocytogenes all while leaving sensory and quality characteristics to the brands recognized standard.

Over the past few years, the United States food industry has made many efforts to reduce sodium content in processed foods. The lunch meat category is one that contributes high salt intake in the United States. While sodium impacts flavor and texture to foods, it also plays a critical role in food safety by reducing water acticity, thereby diminishing the growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. This study evaluates the inhibition of Listeria momocytogenes in cured deli-ham manufactured with vinegar-based ingredients including BactoCEASE NV and BactoCEASE NV-K.
