Effect of Sodium Nitrite and Sodium Chloride on Growth of Lactic Acid Bacteria
Effekten av natriumnitrit och natriumklorid på tillväxten av mjölksyrebakterier
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 33, pages 27–32 (1992)
Abstract
The effect of NaNO2 and NaCl on the growth of 24 lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from vacuum-packed cooked ring sausages were examined by analyzing different growth parameters with Bioscreen. NaNO2 had a very limited effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria at 50 and 100 mg/l but at 400 mg/l a more pronounced inhibitory effect was found. Bacterial growth was enhanced by 1–2% (w/v) of added NaCl, while NaCl concentrations above 3% (w/v) had a clear inhibitory effect. Leuconostoc isolates seemed to be more sensitive to sodium nitrite and sodium chloride than homofermentative lactobacilli strains. Among homofermentative lactobacilli, the strains resembling Lactobacillus curvatus were more sensitive to NaCl than those resembling Lactobacillus sake.
Sammanfattning
Effekten av NaNO2 och NaCl på mjölksyrebakteriers tillväxt som hade isolerais från vakuumpackade finska falukorvar undersöktes. NaNO2 hade en mycket begränsad inverkan på mjölksyrebakteriernas tillväxt vid 50 och 100 mg/l, men vid 400 mg/l kunde en betydande inhiberande effekt konstateras. Tillsatsen av 1-2 % salt ökade bakterietillväxten, medan saltkonsentrationer over 3 % hade en klar förhindrande inverkan. Leuconostoc stammar verkar vara mera sensitiva för NaNO2 och NaCl an homofermentativa laktobasiller. Bland homofermentativa laktobasillstammar var stammar som liknade Lactobacillus curvatus mera sensitiva för NaCl än stammar som liknade Lactobacillus sake.
