Definitions
- the present invention relates to a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion (such as lignosulfonate) and a polycation (such as chitosan).
- the invention further relates to methods for producing a processed edible product of the invention.
- microorganisms are a risk causing food-poisoning diseases. Preventing the presence and/or growth of unwanted microorganisms in food and feed is an important issue in industry. There is a continuous need for effective and safe antimicrobials which can be applied in food and feed products.
- the main targets of food and feed preservatives are: (1) spoilage microorganisms which are able to survive and multiply in a product and thus can spoil it; (2) food-poisoning microorganisms or pathogens which form a health risk.
- Examples of food-spoilage microorganisms are many species of moulds, yeast and bacteria.
- Examples of food-poisoning microorganisms are bacteria such as Salmonella species, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter species, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium species, Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli species.
- Other examples of food-poisoning microorganisms are viruses and mycotoxin producing moulds.
- An example of an antifungal compound applied in practice is the polyene antifungal compound natamycin.
- natamycin has been used to prevent fungal growth on food products such as cheeses, sausages, beverages, bakery goods and fruit products.
- natamycin can be applied directly on the product by spraying (e.g. on shredded cheese or bread) or dipping (e.g. cheeses). It can also be mixed through the product (e.g. for beverages and yoghurt).
- natamycin can also be applied via a wax or a coating; e.g. natamycin can be added to an emulsion of a polymer, mostly polyvinyl acetate, in water which can be applied as a coating on e.g. cheese; a casing or spraycoating can be applied on sausages.
- Natamycin can be added in one of the processing steps in the coating production process in case of animal feed.
- Natamycin is a very effective antifungal. Almost all moulds and yeasts occurring in food industry show high sensitivity towards natamycin and thus can be eliminated by natamycin. Natamycin has a MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) of less than 10 ppm for most fungi, thus the dissolved fraction of 30-40 ppm should under normal conditions be sufficient to prevent development of moulds and/or yeasts.
- MIC Minimum Inhibitory Concentration
- the suspension contains usually 1000 to 2000 ppm of natamycin; while emulsions for coating purposes usually contain 50 to 500 ppm of natamycin; when applied in liquid products the concentration is usually 2 to 20 ppm of natamycin.
- Such treatments can be highly effective in preventing fungal growth on the surface of e.g. cheeses and sausages or in liquid products such as beverages and fruit yoghurt.
- Natamycin is poorly soluble in water. In neutral aqueous systems its solubility will be around 30-40 ppm. In these conditions most natamycin is present in crystalline form. These crystals are quite stable under various conditions. Since only dissolved natamycin has antifungal activity, the crystals will not contribute to the antifungal activity of natamycin.
- natamycin will sufficiently protect food products on which it is applied already for decades such as cheeses and sausages.
- new production processes and other types of products e.g. light cheeses or cheeses which less salt
- products which are more susceptible to mould growth e.g. light cheeses or cheeses which less salt
- mould species which are less susceptible to natamycin may sometimes develop.
- An example of such a mould is Penicillium discolor which may cause spoilage problems in modern cheese industry on cheeses treated with natamycin.
- natamycin The availability of active “dissolved” natamycin is determined by its solubility, diffusion of the dissolved fraction to the site of action and its elimination. Elimination will occur when natamycin binds irreversibly to fungal cell membranes or by external factors such as UV light and chemical interactions. In case of high contamination or contamination with high amounts of less sensitive moulds, natamycin will be used up rapidly.
- natamycin In addition, the limiting chemical and physiological characteristics of natamycin and thus its limited efficacy prevents the broader use of natamycin on many other applications; its efficacy is simply not good enough or the required dosages are too high and thus economically not feasible. It can be concluded that its low solubility is a limiting factor for a broader use.
- natamycin The low solubility of natamycin and its limited diffusion from the crystals are real drawbacks in the efficacy and broader use of natamycin.
- natamycin When the amount of fungi to be eliminated is high or when fungi that are more tolerant towards natamycin are present, natamycin is used up faster. Further, under negative conditions such as UV light and chemical interactions the average amount of dissolved natamycin can drop below the effective concentration because elimination will not be adequately compensated anymore. In case natamycin is used up in high amounts or when it is inactivated due to negative environmental conditions, it is unlikely that the level of 30-40 ppm of dissolved natamycin will be maintained all the time. Natamycin only dissolves slowly from the crystals.
- the invention provides a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation.
- Said polyanion and the polycation are preferably present in a relative amount of between 1:2 and 60:1 (w/w).
- a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation is an irreversible and insoluble complex. This complex alone does not have antimicrobial efficacy.
- the polyelectrolyte complex has sticky properties and contains polar parts (charges) and apolar parts.
- the aromatic moieties in the complex may have affinity for antimicrobial compounds such as natamycin. In combination with the sticky character of the polyelectrolyte complex, the antimicrobial will be optimally deposited and adhered to the processed edible product.
- Said polyanion is preferably selected from the group consisting of a natural polyanion such as xanthan gum, alginate, a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate, pectin, carrageenan, humate, fulvate, angico gum, gum Kondagogu, sodium alkyl naphtalene sulfonate (Morwet), poly- ⁇ -glutamic acid, maleic starch half-ester, carboxymethyl cellulose, chondroitin sulphate, dextran sulphate, hyaluronic acid and a synthetic polyanion such as poly(acrylic acid), polyphosphoric acid, and poly(L-lactide).
- Said polyanion most preferably is a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate.
- Said polycation is preferably selected from the group consisting of poly-L-lysine, epsilon-poly-L-lysine, poly-L-arginine, poly-allylamine, chitosan oligosaccharide, and chitosan. Said polycation most preferably is chitosan.
- Said at least one antimicrobial compound preferably is or comprises a polyene fungicide, most preferably said at least one antimicrobial compound is natamycin.
- the processed edible product preferably is a dairy product, a meat product, a bakery product, a fruit-derived product, an egg-derived product, a beverage, an animal feed, or a vegetable-derived product.
- said complexes comprising of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex, dramatically improved the antimicrobial effect of antimicrobial compounds such as natamycin against fungi, in comparison with an antimicrobial compound without said polyelectrolyte complex.
- said polyelectrolyte complex may provide improved, longer lasting, adherence of the antimicrobial compound to the processed edible product and/or the adherence to the microbe.
- the invention further provides a method for producing a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation, the method comprising a) providing an aqueous solution of a polyanion, wherein the concentration of said polyanion is from 0.1-60 w/v %, b) providing a polycation, c) adding the polycation to the polyanion solution, thereby forming a precipitate, d) crushing the formed precipitate to form a suspension, and e) adding the suspension to a processed edible product; whereby at least one antimicrobial compound is added to the product of one of steps (a-d) prior to the addition of the suspension to a processed edible product.
- the invention further provides a method for preventing spoilage of a processed edible product, comprising a) providing an aqueous solution of a polyanion, wherein the concentration of said polyanion is from 0.1-60 w/v %, b) providing a polycation, c) adding the polycation to the polyanion solution, thereby forming a precipitate, d) crushing the formed precipitate to form an emulsion, and e) adding the suspension to a processed edible product; whereby at least one antimicrobial compound is added to the product of one of steps (a-d) prior to the addition of the suspension to a processed edible product.
- the invention further provides a method of preventing, reducing and/or eliminating the presence of fungi, bacteria and/or viruses on a processed edible product, comprising a) providing an aqueous solution of a polyanion, wherein the concentration of said polyanion is from 0.1-60 w/v %, b) providing a polycation, c) adding the polycation to the polyanion solution, thereby forming a precipitate, d) crushing the formed precipitate to form an suspension, and e) adding the suspension to a processed edible product; whereby at least one antimicrobial compound is added to the product of one of steps (a-d) prior to the addition of the suspension to a processed edible product.
- the at least one antimicrobial compound in a method of the invention is or comprises a polyene fungicide, preferably natamycin.
- the invention further provides the use of a complex of an antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation for preventing, reducing and/or eliminating fungi, bacteria and/or viruses on a processed edible product.
- Preferred processed edible products are processed food- and feed-products including, but are not limited to, dairy products such as hard/semi-hard and soft cheese, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, ice cream and dairy desserts such as yoghurt and fruit yoghurt; meat products such as dry fermented sausages, salami, smoked ham and smoked fish; bakery products such as bread, cake, pre-baked bread, toppings and bakery fillings; fruit-derived products such as fruit pulp, marmalade, fruit salads and juices; liquid egg products such as egg yolk, cooled liquid eggs, concentrated frozen and deep frozen eggs; alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages such as ice-tea, lemonade, bear and wine; animal feed such as broiler feed and pet food; and vegetable-derived products such as ketchup, paste, olive and soya oil, soup, for example tomato soup, and processed starch products such as pasta.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion (such as lignosulfonate) and a polycation (such as chitosan). The invention further relates to methods for producing a processed edible product of the invention.
- It has been estimated that about 25% of the world's food supply is lost as a result of microbial spoilage of food and feed. Also from a consumer safety point of view, microorganisms are a risk causing food-poisoning diseases. Preventing the presence and/or growth of unwanted microorganisms in food and feed is an important issue in industry. There is a continuous need for effective and safe antimicrobials which can be applied in food and feed products. The main targets of food and feed preservatives are: (1) spoilage microorganisms which are able to survive and multiply in a product and thus can spoil it; (2) food-poisoning microorganisms or pathogens which form a health risk.
- Examples of food-spoilage microorganisms are many species of moulds, yeast and bacteria. Examples of food-poisoning microorganisms are bacteria such as Salmonella species, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter species, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium species, Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli species. Other examples of food-poisoning microorganisms are viruses and mycotoxin producing moulds.
- Most spoilage is caused by moulds. Therefore combatting moulds is an important issue in food and feed industry. An example of an antifungal compound applied in practice is the polyene antifungal compound natamycin.
- For almost 40 years, natamycin has been used to prevent fungal growth on food products such as cheeses, sausages, beverages, bakery goods and fruit products. There are several ways to treat food and feed with natamycin. Natamycin can be applied directly on the product by spraying (e.g. on shredded cheese or bread) or dipping (e.g. cheeses). It can also be mixed through the product (e.g. for beverages and yoghurt). On for example cheeses and sausages, natamycin can also be applied via a wax or a coating; e.g. natamycin can be added to an emulsion of a polymer, mostly polyvinyl acetate, in water which can be applied as a coating on e.g. cheese; a casing or spraycoating can be applied on sausages. Natamycin can be added in one of the processing steps in the coating production process in case of animal feed.
- Natamycin is a very effective antifungal. Almost all moulds and yeasts occurring in food industry show high sensitivity towards natamycin and thus can be eliminated by natamycin. Natamycin has a MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) of less than 10 ppm for most fungi, thus the dissolved fraction of 30-40 ppm should under normal conditions be sufficient to prevent development of moulds and/or yeasts.
- In case of treatment by immersion of a suspension of natamycin in water, the suspension contains usually 1000 to 2000 ppm of natamycin; while emulsions for coating purposes usually contain 50 to 500 ppm of natamycin; when applied in liquid products the concentration is usually 2 to 20 ppm of natamycin.
- Such treatments can be highly effective in preventing fungal growth on the surface of e.g. cheeses and sausages or in liquid products such as beverages and fruit yoghurt. Natamycin is poorly soluble in water. In neutral aqueous systems its solubility will be around 30-40 ppm. In these conditions most natamycin is present in crystalline form. These crystals are quite stable under various conditions. Since only dissolved natamycin has antifungal activity, the crystals will not contribute to the antifungal activity of natamycin.
- Under normal conditions natamycin will sufficiently protect food products on which it is applied already for decades such as cheeses and sausages. However, new production processes and other types of products (e.g. light cheeses or cheeses which less salt) may result in products which are more susceptible to mould growth. Also mould species which are less susceptible to natamycin may sometimes develop. An example of such a mould is Penicillium discolor which may cause spoilage problems in modern cheese industry on cheeses treated with natamycin.
- The availability of active “dissolved” natamycin is determined by its solubility, diffusion of the dissolved fraction to the site of action and its elimination. Elimination will occur when natamycin binds irreversibly to fungal cell membranes or by external factors such as UV light and chemical interactions. In case of high contamination or contamination with high amounts of less sensitive moulds, natamycin will be used up rapidly.
- In addition, the limiting chemical and physiological characteristics of natamycin and thus its limited efficacy prevents the broader use of natamycin on many other applications; its efficacy is simply not good enough or the required dosages are too high and thus economically not feasible. It can be concluded that its low solubility is a limiting factor for a broader use.
- The low solubility of natamycin and its limited diffusion from the crystals are real drawbacks in the efficacy and broader use of natamycin. When the amount of fungi to be eliminated is high or when fungi that are more tolerant towards natamycin are present, natamycin is used up faster. Further, under negative conditions such as UV light and chemical interactions the average amount of dissolved natamycin can drop below the effective concentration because elimination will not be adequately compensated anymore. In case natamycin is used up in high amounts or when it is inactivated due to negative environmental conditions, it is unlikely that the level of 30-40 ppm of dissolved natamycin will be maintained all the time. Natamycin only dissolves slowly from the crystals. Together with its limited diffusion, this means that it simply takes time before the whole surface of e.g. a cheese will be protected again with the required concentration of 30-40 ppm dissolved natamycin. Too low levels of dissolved natamycin will result in spoilage of the product by moulds and/or yeasts.
- Spoilage by moulds causes considerable economic losses; fungal spoilage can also be a health risk due to the formation of mycotoxins. There is a severe need for a more efficient antimicrobial system to prevent spoilage of food and feed products. Natamycin inhibits almost all moulds which can spoil these products. Unfortunately its efficacy and thus its use are limited due to the drawbacks of its poor solubility and dissolution characteristics. The availability of active dissolved natamycin can be enhanced by using extreme alkaline or acidic conditions or by using solvents. However, natamycin will be rapidly inactivated under such conditions and thus these compositions have to be used immediately after preparation. Alkaline or acidic solutions will have limited efficacy on most food products which of course usually do not have an extremely high or extremely low pH. It is obvious that the use of solvents is usually not permitted for food and feed applications.
- It can be concluded that there is no suitable method for food and feed applications to enhance the activity of natamycin.
- Unexpectedly it has been found that the activity of natamycin towards fungi can be markedly enhanced if natamycin is complexed according to the method of the invention. Moreover it has been found that the complexes of this invention are very stable under aqueous conditions.
- The invention provides a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation. Said polyanion and the polycation are preferably present in a relative amount of between 1:2 and 60:1 (w/w).
- A polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation is an irreversible and insoluble complex. This complex alone does not have antimicrobial efficacy. The polyelectrolyte complex has sticky properties and contains polar parts (charges) and apolar parts. The aromatic moieties in the complex may have affinity for antimicrobial compounds such as natamycin. In combination with the sticky character of the polyelectrolyte complex, the antimicrobial will be optimally deposited and adhered to the processed edible product.
- Said polyanion is preferably selected from the group consisting of a natural polyanion such as xanthan gum, alginate, a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate, pectin, carrageenan, humate, fulvate, angico gum, gum Kondagogu, sodium alkyl naphtalene sulfonate (Morwet), poly-γ-glutamic acid, maleic starch half-ester, carboxymethyl cellulose, chondroitin sulphate, dextran sulphate, hyaluronic acid and a synthetic polyanion such as poly(acrylic acid), polyphosphoric acid, and poly(L-lactide). Said polyanion most preferably is a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate.

- It was surprisingly found that said complexes, comprising of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex, dramatically improved the antimicrobial effect of antimicrobial compounds such as natamycin against fungi, in comparison with an antimicrobial compound without said polyelectrolyte complex. Without being bound by theory, said polyelectrolyte complex may provide improved, longer lasting, adherence of the antimicrobial compound to the processed edible product and/or the adherence to the microbe.

- The invention further provides a method of preventing, reducing and/or eliminating the presence of fungi, bacteria and/or viruses on a processed edible product, comprising a) providing an aqueous solution of a polyanion, wherein the concentration of said polyanion is from 0.1-60 w/v %, b) providing a polycation, c) adding the polycation to the polyanion solution, thereby forming a precipitate, d) crushing the formed precipitate to form an suspension, and e) adding the suspension to a processed edible product; whereby at least one antimicrobial compound is added to the product of one of steps (a-d) prior to the addition of the suspension to a processed edible product.
- It is preferred that the at least one antimicrobial compound in a method of the invention is or comprises a polyene fungicide, preferably natamycin.
- The invention further provides the use of a complex of an antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation for preventing, reducing and/or eliminating fungi, bacteria and/or viruses on a processed edible product.
- Preferred processed edible products are processed food- and feed-products including, but are not limited to, dairy products such as hard/semi-hard and soft cheese, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, ice cream and dairy desserts such as yoghurt and fruit yoghurt; meat products such as dry fermented sausages, salami, smoked ham and smoked fish; bakery products such as bread, cake, pre-baked bread, toppings and bakery fillings; fruit-derived products such as fruit pulp, marmalade, fruit salads and juices; liquid egg products such as egg yolk, cooled liquid eggs, concentrated frozen and deep frozen eggs; alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages such as ice-tea, lemonade, bear and wine; animal feed such as broiler feed and pet food; and vegetable-derived products such as ketchup, paste, olive and soya oil, soup, for example tomato soup, and processed starch products such as pasta.
- The present invention provides a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation.
- The term “polyelectrolyte” refers to a molecule consisting of a plurality of charged groups that are linked to a common backbone. In the context of this application, the term “polycation” is interchangeable with the term “positively charged polyelectrolyte” and the term “polyanion” is interchangeable with the term “negatively charged polyelectrolyte”.
- The term “polyelectrolyte complex” refers to a complex of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (a polyanion and a polycation) which form strong electrostatic links, thus avoiding the use of covalent cross-linkers. The complex is not soluble.
- According to the invention, a polyelectrolyte complex that is formed between a polyanion, preferably xanthan gum, humate, alginate or lignosulfonate, most preferably lignosulfonate, and a polycation, preferably chitosan, in a relative amount of between 1:2 and 60:1 (w/w) improves the activity of the antimicrobial compound such as natamycin, resulting in a reduction of the amount of e.g. natamycin that is required to protect a processed edible product from spoilage.
- The polyelectrolyte complex comprises a polyanion, such as a lignin-compound, xanthan gum, humate and alginate, and a polycation, such as chitosan or poly-allylamine, in a relative amount of between 1:2 and 60:1 (w/w), more preferred between 1:1 and 50:1, more preferred between 2:1 and 30:1, such as about 2:1, about 5:1, about 10:1; about 15:1, about 20:1, about 25:1 and about 30:1 (w/w). The relative amount of a polyanion, preferably a lignin compound, and a polycation, preferably a chitosan, in a polyelectrolyte complex is most preferred about 5:1 (w/w).
- A preferred complex comprises an antimicrobial compound, preferably a polyene fungicide, preferably natamycin, optionally at least one additional antimicrobial compound, and a polyelectrolyte complex between a polycation, preferably chitosan, and a polyanion, preferably lignosulfonate. In a watery solution at a pH of about 4.5, polycations such as chitosan polymers are positively charged and the cationic amino groups on the glucosamine subunits can interact electrostatically with anionic groups (usually sulfonic acid groups) of polyanions such as lignosulfonate to form polyelectrolyte complexes.
- Without being bound by theory, it is thought that the addition of an antimicrobial compound to a polyelectrolyte complex results in the reversible binding of the antimicrobial compound to the polyelectrolyte complex, resulting in an improved, longer lasting, adherence of the natamycin to the processed edible product and/or the microbe. In addition, it is thought that the polyelectrolyte complex provides a slow, continuous release of the antimicrobial compound over time, thereby providing a longer lasting antimicrobial activity of the antimicrobial compound.
- Said polyanion is preferably selected from the group consisting of a natural polyanion such as xanthan gum, alginate, a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate, pectin, carrageenan, humate, fulvate, angico gum, gum Kondagogu, sodium alkyl naphtalene sulfonate (Morwet), poly-γ-glutamic acid, maleic starch half-ester, carboxymethyl cellulose, chondroitin sulphate, dextran sulphate, hyaluronic acid and a synthetic polyanion such as poly(acrylic acid), polyphosphoric acid, and poly(L-lactide). Preferably, said polyanion is selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, alginate, humate and lignosulfonate. A most preferred polyanion is or comprises a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate. Said polyanion may comprise two or more distinct polyanions such as, for example, xanthan gum and a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate or pectin and a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate.
- The term “lignin compound” refers to a compound that is derived from naturally occurring lignin or lignen by a process that includes sulphonation. The resulting sulfonic acids are strong acids and lignin compounds are therefore negatively charged at pH values below 7.
- A preferred lignin compound is selected from Kraft lignin, organosolv lignin and/or lignosulfonate.
- A Kraft lignin is a polyphenolic product from the Kraft pulping process for the conversion of wood into wood pulp. Included are derivatives from Kraft lignin obtained by oxidation or other chemical modification as is known to the skilled person.
- An organosolv lignin is a polyphenolic product from delignification processes using organic solvents. Included are derivatives from organosolv lignin obtained by oxidation or other chemical modification as is known to the skilled person.
- Lignosulfonate (also termed lignosulphonate, lignosulfate, lignin sulfonate, ligninsulfonate, ligninsulfonic acid, lignosulfonic acid, lignosulfuric acid, or LST 7) is a water-soluble anionic polymer which is, for example, formed as a by-product in the sulphite pulping process. Lignosulfonates generally have a wide molecular weight distribution, typically in the range of about 500 to about 150,000. Lignosulfonates may comprise different metal or ammonium ions as counter cations of the sulfonate groups such as, for example, copper, zinc, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and aluminium. Suitable examples of lignosulfonates comprise sodium lignosulfonate (e.g. sold as BORRESPERSE NA®, Borregaard LignoTech Ltd, Germany), calcium lignosulfonate (e.g. sold as BORRESPERSE CA®, Borregaard LignoTech Ltd, Germany), ammonium lignosulfonate, potassium lignosulfonate, modified lignosulfonate, derivatives of lignosulfonate, or mixtures thereof. Modified lignosulfonates, and derivatives of lignosulfonates are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,639,263, 3,923,532, 4,006,779, 4,017,475, 4,019,995, 4,069,217, 4,088,640, 4,133,385, 4,181,652, 4,186,242, 4,196,777, 4,219,471, 4,236,579, 4,249,606, 4,250,088, 4,267,886, 4,269,270, 4,293,342, 4,336,189, 4,344,487, 4,594,168, 4,666,522, 4,786,438, 5,032,164, 5,075,402, 5,286,412, 5,401,718, 5,446,133, 5,981,433, 6,420,602, and 7,238,645, which are incorporated herein by reference.

- As used herein, the term “chitosan” refers to a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). Chitosan is produced by deacetylation of chitin. The term “chitosan” relates to chitosan, chitosan derivatives and mixtures of chitosan and chitosan derivatives.
- The term chitosan relates to linear p-(1→4)-linked glucosamin and N-acetylglucosamin. It may be produced from chitin or its sodium salt (e.g. originating from shrimp) by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide at elevated temperatures, or by enzymatic treatment with, for example, a chitin deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.41). Further sources of chitin are fungi, including Basidiomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Phycomycetes, where it is a component of cell walls and structural membranes of mycelia, stalks, and spores. A most preferred chitosan is from fungi or derived from fungi.
- Typically, deacetylation as determined by colloidal titration is from 50 to 99.9%, preferably from 70 to 99.8% and most preferably from 90 to 99.7%, as compared to chitin. Chitosan derivatives can be prepared by reactions at the amino group (e.g. by N-acylation, formation of N-alkylidene and N-arylidene derivatives, N-alkylation and N-arylation) or at hydroxy groups, as is known to the skilled person.
- It was found that a polyanion, for example a lignin compound such as lignosulfonate, forms a stable polyelectrolyte complex with a polycation such as chitosan. A polyelectrolyte complex may comprise a mixture of two or more lignin compounds and/or a mixture of two or more chitosan polymers.
- The term “antimicrobial compound”, as is used herein, refers to a natural or chemical substance capable of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, inhibiting the germination of spores of microorganisms and/or eliminating the microorganisms or their spores. Said antimicrobial compound can be any compound active against moulds, yeasts, bacteria and/or viruses which is applied in food products, feed products, cosmetic products, pharmaceutical products and forestry products. Such an antimicrobial compound can be an antifungal, antibacterial or antivirus compound or a compound having a broader spectrum of activity against fungi and/or bacteria and/or viruses. Said antimicrobial compound is preferably an antifungal, antibacterial or antivirus compound, or a compound having a broad spectrum of activity against fungi and/or bacteria and/or viruses.
- The at least one antimicrobial compound is or comprises an antimicrobial compound that is commonly applied in food and feed industry to inhibit or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms and/or moulds, yeasts and food spoilage bacteria. An example of such at least one antimicrobial compound is provided by a weak acid preservative such as sorbic acid or an alkali or alkali earth metal salt thereof; sodium chloride; a bacteriocin such as nisin; an enzyme such as lysozyme; an extract from one or more plants, a herbs and/or a spice such as carvacrol and cinnamic acid; a disinfectant such as chlorine and hydrogen peroxide, and a polyene fungicide, preferably natamycin.
- A preferred antimicrobial compound is an antimicrobial compound that is usually applied as a food preservative in food and feed industry to inhibit or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms and/or moulds, yeasts and food spoilage bacteria. Preferred food preservatives are weak acid preservatives such as sorbic acid, propionic acid, benzoic acid, hydroxybenzoic acids, lactic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, or an alkali or alkali earth metal salt thereof; sodium chloride; inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid; sulphor dioxide and sulfites; nitrate and nitrite; bacteriocins such as nisin or pediocin; polyene fungicides; enzymes or enzyme systems such as lysozyme, cell wall degrading enzymes such as chitinases and glucanases, lactoperoxidase and glucose oxidase; epsilon-poly-L-lysine; extracts from plants, herbs and spices such as carvacrol, cinnamic acid, cinnamic aldehyde, limonene, especially D-limonene, orange oil, eugenol and thymol; disinfectants such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and trisodiumphosphate.

A preferred derivative is a salt or a solvate of a polyene fungicide and/or a modified form of a polyene fungicide such as e.g. different shaped crystal forms such as the needle-shaped crystal of natamycin described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,727,966.
- The effective amount of an antimicrobial compound together with the polyelectrolyte complex depends on the type of antimicrobial compound and the product to which the antimicrobial compound is added. Thus, the required concentration may differ depending on the efficacy of the individual antimicrobial compound in or on a certain product and the required level of protection for that product, as is well known to the person skilled in the art.
- For example, in the case of natamycin: cheese coatings usually contain 100 to 1000 ppm of natamycin, clipping suspensions applied on dry sausages or cheese usually contain 1000 to 3000 ppm of natamycin; a concentration of 2 to 10 ppm of natamycin is usually sufficient to prevent spoilage by yeast or moulds in beverages.
- Two antimicrobial compounds that are widely applied in the food industry are sorbic acids and benzoic acids or their salts sorbates or benzoates. In beverages, these antimicrobials may be used at concentrations from 100 to 1000 ppm, more preferably from 200 to 500 ppm. In most other food products, however, these antimicrobials may be used to concentrations up to 5000 ppm or even higher.
- Another example of an antibacterial compound is nisin. This antimicrobial peptide inhibits bacteria such as spore-forming bacteria belonging to the genera of Bacillus and Clostridium, Listeria monocytogenes and lactic acid bacteria. Nisin is applied in e.g. cheese against Clostridium species and in meat products against spoilage bacteria in concentrations from 10 up to 500 ppm.

The suspension may also be added in a processing step for the production of a wax or coating. Examples of waxes and coatings are cheese waxes, cheese coatings of the polyvinylacetate type, edible cheese coatings, oil-in-water or water-in-oil type of coatings, and casings for sausages. The suspension can also be applied by soaking of e.g. casings applied for sausages. In case of a processed animal feed, a composition according to the invention can be added in one of the processing steps of the production process.
- In an embodiment of the invention a composition of the invention can be applied on food products and feed products, cosmetic products, pharmaceutical products and forestry products.
- An aqueous solution of a polyanion, such as a lignin compound, is preferably prepared by dissolving the polyanion, such as a lignin compound, preferably lignosulfonate, in an aqueous solution, preferably water.
- An aqueous solution of a polycation, preferably chitosan, is preferably prepared by solubilizing the polycation in an aqueous acidic solution comprising an acid such as, for example, lactate, hydrochloric acid, phosphorous acid and/or ascorbic acid. The amount of acid that is required to solubilize the polycation, preferably chitosan, depends on the polycation, as is known to the skilled person. For example, for solubilizing chitosan, in general, about 6 ml 37% HCl is required to obtain a solution of 10 gram chitosan in 1 liter in water. As an alternative, a polycation, preferably chitosan, is dissolved in an aqueous solution, preferably water, for example by gently shaking at 20-23° C. overnight, whereby a salt, preferably NaCl, is preferably added to the aqueous solution at a concentration between 1 mM and 1 M, preferably about 100 mM.

If required, the pH is kept between pH 1 and pH 5.5 by the addition of an acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, phosphorous acid, nonanoic acid or acetic acid. The pH is more preferably kept between pH 2.0 and pH 5.0, more preferably between pH 3.0 and pH 4.5 during the formation of a polyelectrolyte complex.

- 10 gram of Chitosan was suspended in 885 mL water, 5 gram 37% HCl was added to completely dissolve the chitosan. Then 100 gram Calcium-Lignosulfonate was added portion wise to the solution. A milky solution appeared immediately and solids precipitated from the solution. When 40-50 grams of the Ca-LS was added a rise in viscosity was observed and the aqueous solution thickened and the polyelectrolyte clearly separated as a solid from the aqueous phase. By addition of the remaining 50 gr Ca-LS the aqueous phase became less viscous. The solid was settled overnight.
- This example illustrates the improved efficacy of natamycin when applied using a composition of the present invention towards Penicillium discolor on cheese.
- Pieces of cheese of 5×5×5 cm are cut from a freshly brined wheel of Gouda cheese. The pieces are clipped into a bath of melted paraffin at 80° C. in such a manner that the original surface area remains free of paraffin.
- Spores of Penicillium discolor are prepared using well known methods and use to inoculate on the surface of the cheese (103 spores/cm2) using well known methods. The pieces of cheese are stored overnight in closed plastic boxes at 4° C.
- On each piece of cheese, a composition according to the invention (see table 1 and table 2) is applied using well known methods (n=5). The pieces of cheese are incubated at room temperature in closed plastic boxes. Every day, the number of visible colonies on each piece of cheese is counted for a total period of two weeks.
- The results show that the compositions of the present invention protect the pieces of cheese better against fungal growth compared to the activity of the active compound natamycin when applied individually.
