Data on the prevalence and growth of Listeria monocytogenes in lightly preserved fish products from subtropical and tropical regions are very scarce. Our research describes L. monocytogenes that was detected in 5% of the packages of cold-smoked surubim, a native Brazilian freshwater fish that we analyzed, and shows that the strains isolated were of the same random amplified polymorphic DNA subtype as the strains that were isolated from the same factory 4 years earlier. A bacteriocinogenic strain of Carnobacterium piscicola (strain C2), isolated from vacuum-packed cold-smoked surubim, and two C. piscicola strains, isolated from vacuum-packed, cold-smoked salmon, were capable of limiting or completely inhibiting the growth of an L. monocytogenes (strain V2) isolated from surubim in fish peptone model systems incubated at 10°C. Mono-cultures of L. monocytogenes reached 108 CFU/ml (g), whereas the growth of L. monocytogenes was completely inhibited by C. piscicola C2. The bacteriocinogenic C. piscicola A9b+ and its nonbacteriocinogenic mutant A9b− reduced maximum Listeria levels by 2 to 3 log units. Both bacteriocinogenic C. piscicola strains prevented listerial growth in cold-smoked fish juices (surubim and salmon). Although the carnobacteria grew poorly on cold-smoked surubim at 10°C, the strains were able to reduce maximum Listeria counts by 1 to 3 log units in an artificially inoculated product (surubim). We conclude that Brazilian smoked fish products harbor L. monocytogenes and should be stabilized against the growth of the organism. C. piscicola C2 has the potential for use as a bioprotective culture in surubim and other lightly preserved fish, but further studies are required to optimize its effect.

Listeria monocytogenes inhibition by Carnobacterium strains and crude bacteriocins on sterile and commercial vacuum-packed cold-smoked salmon stored at 4°C and 8°C was investigated. Carnobacterium piscicola V1 was bactericidal against L. monocytogenes at the two temperatures, whereas Carnobacterium divergens V41 presented a bacteriostatic effect. C. piscicola SF668 delayed L. monocytogenes growth at 8°C and had a bacteriostatic effect at 4°C. Listeria growth was not affected by a non–bacteriocin-producing C. piscicola. Crude extracts of piscicocins were bactericidal at 4°C and 8°C. Listeria growth was delayed by divercin V41 at 8°C and was inhibited at 4°C. Nisin delayed Listeria growth at 8°C and was bacteriostatic at 4°C. The present study demonstrates that L. monocytogenes growth could be prevented on vacuum-packed cold-smoked salmon by Carnobacterium and associated bacteriocins at chilled temperatures. Moreover, no product spoilage could be observed with the use of such bacteriocin-producing strains as demonstrated by good sensorial analyses and low biogenic amine production.

Strain CS526 was isolated from frozen surimi and identified as a bacteriocin producer that had strong inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes. Strain CS526 was identified as Carnobacterium piscicola by partial 16S rDNA sequence similarity. The ability of this bacteriocinogenic strain and nonbacteriocinogenic C. piscicola JCM5348 to inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes was examined in culture broth incubated at 12°C and cold-smoked salmon stored at 4, 12, and 20°C. L. monocytogenes viable counts in the culture broth rapidly declined from 106 colony-forming units per ml to less than 10 colony-forming units per ml within 1 day at 12°C in the presence of C. piscicola CS526. At 4 and 12°C, inhibition of L. monocytogenes on salmon depended on the initial inoculum level of C. piscicola CS526. However, C. piscicola CS526 was bactericidal to L. monocytogenes within 21 and 12 days at 4 and 12°C in cold-smoked salmon, respectively, even when the initial inoculum levels were low. C. piscicola CS526 suppressed the maximum cell number of L. monocytogenes by two and three log cycles, even at 20°C. However, C. piscicola JCM5348 did not prevent the growth of the pathogen, except at 4°C. Bacteriocin was detected in the samples coinoculated with C. piscicola CS526. The study shows that C. piscicola CS526 might have potential for biopreservation of refrigerated foods against L. monocytogenes.

A Lactobacillus sake strain LKE5 and four strains of Carnobacterium piscicola were evaluated as biopreservation cultures to control the growth of Listeria monocytogenes on vacuum-packed, cold-smoked salmon stored at 5°C. All five strains were antilisterial as live cultures in an agar diffusion assay. Cell-free supernatants of two strains of C. piscicola and L. sake LKE5 were also antilisterial because of the production of bacteriocins. The presence of high cell numbers of strains of C. piscicola had no influence on the sensory quality of cold-smoked salmon stored at 5°C, but L. sake LKE5 caused strong sulfurous offflavors and was rejected as a culture for biopreservation of cold-smoked salmon. A bacteriocin-producing strain of C. piscicola (A9b) initially caused a 7-day lag phase of L. monocytogenes, followed by a reduction in numbers of L. monocytogenes from 103 CFU/ml to below 10 CFU/ml after 32 days of incubation, coinciding with the detection of antilisterial compounds. The presence of a nonbacteriocin-producing strain of C. piscicola (A10a) prevented the growth of L. monocytogenes during the 32-day incubation. The growth of L. monocytogenes was strongly repressed on cold-smoked salmon in the presence of C. piscicola A9b and A10a, respectively. The initial cell numbers of L. monocytogenes that were found on Oxford plates incubated at 25°C reached low maximum cell counts of 104 and 2 × 103 after 14 and 20 days of storage in mixed culture with C. piscicola A9b and A10a.

L. monocytogenes was inoculated onto the surface of brined salmon steaks and heat processed in a commercial smokehouse to simulate a hot process for preparing smoked fish. The minimum temperature required for inactivation of L. monocytogenes was 153°F (67.2°C) when generated smoke was applied throughout the entire process. When generated smoke was added only during the last half of the process, L. monocytogenes was recovered from steaks heated to temperatures as high as 176°F (80.0°C). When smoke was not applied during the process, L. monocytogenes survived on steaks heated to internal temperatures between 131°F and 181°F (55.0 to 82.8°C) but was not isolated from steaks heated above 181°F (82.8°C). When liquid smoke CharSol C-l0 was applied as a full-strength (100%) dip before processing, L. monocytogenes was inactivated in samples processed at temperatures as low as 138°F (58.9°C). When liquid smoke l0-Poly or CharSol C-l0 was applied at a concentration of 50%, the lethal temperature was increased to the range of 145 to 150°F (62.8 to 65.6°C). With further dilution of C-l0 to 25% and 10% the inactivation temperatures increased to 156°F (68.9°C) and 163°F (72.8°C). A full-strength dip of CharOil, the oil-soluble fraction of CharSol C-l0, was less effective, and L. monocytogenes survived in salmon steaks processed to an internal temperature of 166°F (74.4°C), the highest temperature tested with this liquid smoke. This study provides evidence that heat alone is not reliable for inactivation of L. monocytogenes during the hot-smoking process. The proper stage and duration of smoke application or proper composition and concentration of liquid smoke in combination with heat are critical for inactivation of the organism.
