International audience. This study assessed the bioprotective effect of Carnobacterium maltaromaticum (CM) against Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF) and Brochothrix thermosphacta (BT) in ground beef and sliced cooked ham stored in high- and low-oxygen-modified atmospheres (66/4/30% O2/N2/CO2 and 70/30% N2/CO2, respectively). Both meat products were inoculated with CM, PF, and BT individually or in combination and stored for 7 days (3 days at 4 °C + 4 days at 8 °C) for ground beef and 28 days (10 days at 4 °C + 18 days at 8 °C) for sliced cooked ham. Each food matrix was assigned to 6 treatments: NC (no bacterial inoculation, representing the indigenous bacteria of meat), CM, BT, PF, CM + BT, and CM + PF. Bacterial growth, pH, instrumental color, and headspace gas composition were assessed during storage. CM counts remained stable from inoculation and throughout the shelf-life. CM reduced the population of inoculated and indigenous spoilage bacteria, including BT, PF, and enterobacteria, and showed a negligible impact on the physicochemical quality parameters of the products. Furthermore, upon simulating the shelf-life of ground beef and cooked ham, a remarkable extension could be observed with CM. Therefore, CM could be exploited as a biopreservative in meat products to enhance quality and shelf-life.
