Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli were chosen to investigate the combined effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and Nisin on loss of viability, membrane damage and release of intracellular contents of microorganisms. The results showed that the combination of 200 IU/mL Nisin and HHP exhibited a synergistic effect over 2 log on the inactivation of B. subtilis at pressure 300 MPa. The similar synergistic effect was observed on the membrane damage and release of intracellular contents of B. subtilis. The Nisin alone had no effect against E. coli, which belongs to gram negative bacteria. However, at pressure 300 MPa, Nisin caused the membrane damage from 55% to 80%. The synergistic effect of Nisin and HHP on loss of viability, membrane damage and release of intracellular contents of E. coli were also illustrated when the HHP pressure exceeded 300 MPa as the consequence of the serious changes produced by HHP at higher pressure in the cell envelope. It allows the entry of Nisin molecules to cell membrane.

In meat processing, changes in the myofibrillar protein (MP) structure can affect the quality of meat products. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) has been widely utilized to change the conformational structure (secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure) of MP so as to improve the quality of meat products. However, a systematic summary of the relationship between the conformational structure (secondary and tertiary structure) changes in MP, gel properties and product quality under HHP is lacking. Hence, this review provides a comprehensive summary of the changes in the conformational structure and gel properties of MP under HHP and discusses the mechanism based on previous studies and recent progress. The relationship between the spatial structure of MP and meat texture under HHP is also explored. Finally, we discuss considerations regarding ways to make HHP an effective strategy in future meat manufacturing.
