A model to predict the fate of Listeria monocytogenes in different cheese types – A major role for undissociated lactic acid in addition to pH, water activity, and temperature

Undissociated lactic acid has been shown to play a major role in complete growth inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes in Gouda cheese. In addition, low water activity conditions may contribute to growth inhibition. In the current study, it was assessed whether the major factors that inhibit growth o...
