Long-Term Preservation of Bacteriophage Antimicrobials Using Sugar Glasses
Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of LISTEX P100, Salmonella CG4, and E. coli AG10 bacteriophages were preserved in pullulan-trehalose mixture as dried films and as coatings on food packaging. The phages encapsulated in pullulan-trehalose films were able to retain infectivity for up to 3 months at ambient storage conditions. Various buffers, disaccharides and disaccharide concentrations were investigated to optimize the long-term stability of the …
