Notizen:
Several proteins, lipids and waxes were tested as edible coatings on sweet corn. Only zein, a natural constituent of corn, gave a continuous adhesive and stable coating with satisfactory sensory properties. After 8 days at 10 °C, the population of L. monocytogenes was 10-fold lower on coated sweet corn than on non-coated sweet corn indicating a barrier effect of zein coating. Sorbic acid was incorporated in the coating at a concentration required to inhibit L. monocytogenes growth (approximately 1 mg sorbic acid/g of sweet corn). The inhibitory concentration was the same for both coated and non-coated sweet corn. Zein coating therefore did not improve the preservative effect of sorbic acid.
