Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium responsible for food poisoning through ready-to-eat (RTE) food products. In particular, salads are RTE products that lead to many cases of listeriosis. Such concerns have made it necessary to find a method of inhibiting Listeria growth. In this study, coleslaw and egg salads were inoculated with L. monocyto genes, followed by addition of either ferulic acid or ferulic acid + glycine/sodium acetate, and were incubated at 10 degrees C for a maximum of 5 days. In coleslaw, the addition of 1500 ppm ferulic acid resulted in a 1.5 log CFU/g reduction in L monocytogenes after 5 days. In egg salad, for 5 days following the addition of 3000 ppm ferulic acid + 1% glycine/sodium acetate compound, no additional L monocytogenes growth was observed. This study demonstrates that under particular conditions, ferulic acid has anti-bacterial properties against L. monocytogenes. Our results suggest that ferulic acid could be highly useful for inhibiting the growth of L. monocytogenes in salad products. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
