Evaluation of bacteriocinogenic Pediococcus acidilactici as protective culture in the preservation of Tsire, a traditional Nigerian stick meat

Abstract excerpt

In an effort to control spoilage and pathogenic organisms in tsire, a Nigerian stick meat, the potential of a bacteriocinogenic Pediococcus acidilactici NCIMB 700993 as protective culture was evaluated. Preliminary experiments showed that P. acidilactici produced pediocin in an in vitro assay, among twelve strains of Pediococcus that were tested. Confirmation by polymerase chain reaction revealed that the organism...
