Bacteriocins
Bacteriocins are ribosomally-synthesizedpeptides or proteins with antimicrobial activity.
Many lactic acid bacteria (LAB) producebacteriocins with rather broad spectra of
inhibition Bacteriocins can be regarded as antibiotics,
but they differ from antibiotics in severalcritical ways:
Ribosomally synthesized Host cells are immune to them

Bacteriocins
Mode of action is different from antibiotics
Target cell wall
Producers: Gram-positive and Gram-negativebacteria
Have narrow bactericidial spectrum andusually are active against closely relatedspecies .

Bacteriocins and food systems
Foods can be supplemented with ex situproduced bacteriocin preparations, orinsitubacteriocin production.
Ex situ produced bacteriocins can also beadded in the form of raw concentratesobtained by cultivation of the producerstrain in a food-grade substrate (such asmilk or whey). The resulting preparations
may be regarded as food additives oringredients from the legal point of view.

Bacteriocins and foodsystems
Ex situproduced bacteriocins can also beapplied in the formof immobilized
preparations, in which the partially-purifiedbacteriocin or the concentrated cultured
broth is bound to a carrier.
The carrier acts as a reservoir and diffuserof the concentrated bacteriocin moleculesand also protect the bacteriocin from
inactivation by interaction with foodcomponents and enzymatic inactivation.
Bacteriocinogenic strains can be used Insitu either directly as starter cultures, as
adjunct or co-cultures in combination witha starter culture or as rotective cultures

Bacteriocins and Hurdle
technologyHurdle technology is a method of ensuring thatpathogens in food products can be eliminated orcontrolled by combining more than oneapproach.
The concept of hurdle technologybegan to apply in the food industry ina rational way after the observationthat survival of microorganismsgreatly decreased when they wereconfronted with multiple antimicrobialfactors.

Need of Hurdle technology
After exposure of a bacterialpopulation to a single antimicrobialfactor there is often a heterogeneousresponse, A fraction of the population
may receive a lethal dose of theantimicrobial factor, leading to celldeath. The remaining fraction maysurvive due to several reasons:
receiving a sub-lethal dose.showing an increased resistance
because of its physiological state (e.g.stationary phase cells, or cells alreadystressed in response to otherunfavourable environmental

Need of Hurdle technology
Cells naturally resistant to the antimicrobialagent.
Sub-lethally injured cells as well as cells withincreased resistance may repair the damage
caused by the antimicrobial agent and survive.On the other hand the probabilities for survival
and proliferation for cells confronted withmultiple hurdles are very low.
In addition, the synergy between different
antimicrobial factors may allowthe use of lowerdoses compared to their individual application.

Combination of bacteriocins with chemicalsubstances and natural antimicrobials
The presence of NaCl enhanced theantimicrobial action of bacteriocinssuch as nisin,leucocin F10, enterocinAS-48 and others.
The protective effect of sodiumchloride may be due to interferencewith ionic interactions betweenbacteriocin molecules and charged
groups involved in bacteriocin bindingto target cells.

Combination of bacteriocins withchemical substances and natural
antimicrobials
Sodium chloride may also induceconformational changes of bacteriocins orchanges in the cell envelope of the targetorganisms.
Addition of nitrite also increased the anti-listeria activity of bacteriocinogeniclactobacilli in meat and the activities ofenterocin EJ97 against
L.monocytogenes,Bacillus coagulans andBacillus macroides and enterocin AS-48againstB. cereus.

Combination of bacteriocins with chemicalsubstances and natural antimicrobials
Organic acids and their salts can potentiatethe activity of bacteriocins greatly, whileacidification enhances the antibacterialactivity of both organic acids and
bacteriocins.The increase in net charge of bacteriocins
at low pH might facilitate translocation ofbacteriocin molecules through the cell wall.
The solubility of bacteriocins may alsoincrease at lower pH, facilitating diffusionof bacteriocin molecules.

Bacteriocins and heat
treatmentsBacteriocins can be used to reduce the
intensity of heat treatments in foodswithout compromising microbial
inactivation. Nisin and heat actsynergistically against L. plantarum andL.monocytogenes.
Bacteriocins can also provide an additional
protection during food storage againstproliferation of endospores surviving heattreatments.

decreasing the impact of heat on the food.

Bacteriocins and pulsed
electric fieldsPulsed electric field (PEF) technology is a non-
thermal process where microbial inactivation isachieved by application of high-voltage pulses
between a set of electrodes.
PEF could also be applied to extend theantimicrobial spectrum of bacteriocins, sincePEF disrupts the bacterial outer membrane
allowing bacteriocin molecules to reach thebacterial cytoplasmic membrane target

Bacteriocins and highhydrostatic pressure
(HHP)High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is
an innovative food processing and
preservation method that causesinjury and killing of microbial cells.
But during pressurization, the disruption ofH-bonds, ionic bonds and hydrophobic
interactions of the macromoleculesadversely affects their structures andfunctions.
Since most bacteriocins act on thebacterial cytoplasmic membrane itcan be hypothesized that the

Permit the application of less severeheat treatments withoutcompromising food safety: betterpreservation of food nutrients and
vitamins, as well as organolepticproperties of foods.
Permit the marketing of novel foods(less acidic, with a lower salt content,
and with a higher water content.they may serve to satisfy industrial
and consumers demands.

Conclusions
A large number of bacteriocinsfrom LAB have been characterizedto date, and many differentstudies have indicated thepotential usefulness ofbacteriocins in food preservation.
Since the efficacy of bacteriocinsin foods is dictated byenvironmental factors, there is aneed to determine more preciselythe most effective conditions forapplication of each particular

Conclusions
The use of novel preservationtechnologies offers newopportunities for application ofbacteriocins as part of hurdletechnology, as has beendemonstrated for PEF and HHP.However, the combinedapplication of many other
technologies (such asultrasonication, irradiation,microwave and ohmic heating, orpulsed light) still remains
unexplored.
