title = "Evaluation of the potential synergistic antimicrobial effects observed using various combinations of agents (nanoparticled and non-nanoparticled) on a selected panel of cheese-derived microorganisms",
abstract = "This objective of this study was to determine if a combination of chemical agents could produce a synergistic antimicrobial effect, by either targeting a greater spectrum of microorganisms, or by reducing the amount of antimicrobial required to cause inhibition. Five agents (nanoparticled solubilisates - sorbic acid, benzoic acid and rosemary, and non-nanoparticled chitosans, two different molecular weights) were selected based on promising antimicrobial activity and/or enhanced solubility. Combinations of these agents were examined against cultures derived from cheese. The study found the top performing antimicrobials contained chitosan and/or rosemary, individually or in combination. These findings encourage their use as active agents in cheese packaging.",
