The resistance of Listeria innocua, as a model microorganism for Listeria monocytogenes, to high hydrostatic pressure in liquid whole egg was studied at several pressures (300, 350, 400, and 450 MPa), temperatures (−15, 2, and 20°C), and times (5, 10, and 15 min). Listeria innocua was added to liquid whole egg at approximately 106 CFU/ml. Listeria innocua was not totally inactivated in any of the treatments. In general, reduction was better at 2°C than at room temperature, but the greatest inactivation was obtained at 450 MPa at 20°C for 15 min (over 5 log of reduction). The results indicate that microbial inactivation was increased with prolonged exposure to pressure. D values for Listeria innocua were obtained at 400 MPa for two temperatures (2 and 20°C), and different times (0 to 20 min). The microbial inactivation followed apparent first-order kinetics, exhibiting a decimal reduction time of 7.35 min at 2°C and 8.23 min at 20°C.

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.

Samples prepared from liquid egg yolk (LEY), liquid egg white (LEW) and liquid whole egg (LWE) were processed by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) using different holding times (60, 180, 300, 420 and 600 s). The aim of our experiment was to examine how different holding times influences technofunctional attributes of liquid egg products. The color of samples changed after 60 s HHP treatment, but visible changes were evaluated just after 180­ 300 s. The pH of samples was stable, there were no significant changes caused by HHP (one-way ANOVA, a=0,05). The apparent viscosity was measured by a rotational viscometer as a function of shear rate. The shearthinning behavior of LEY and pseudopastic behavior of LEW and LWE were fitted well into HerschelBulkley model (with a satisfying correlation of R2 > 0.96). For the selected shearing rate, viscosity was measured in relation to shearing time. Thixotropic behavior of samples was increased by longer holding time of HHP treatments.
