The film characteristics and microbiological properties of sausage samples were evaluated. Sausage samples were packaged in polyethylene bags (vacuum condition) and analysed during 45 days of storage at 4 °C. Control sausages were also treated with 120 ppm sodium nitrite. Polyamide-alginate films containing 100 ppm nisin and 500 ?-PL nanoparticles had the highest ultimate tensile strength compared to other films. However, 100 ppm nisin and 500 ?-PL nanoparticles decreased water vapour permeability of films. The results also revealed that nisin nanoparticles had significantly (p < 0.05) low inhibitory effects against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, molds and yeasts and total viable counts compared to control and ?-PL nanoparticles. Furthermore, 1000 ppm ?-PL nanoparticles displayed the highest antimicrobial activity. Based on the obtained results, the films containing ?-PL nanoparticle could be considered as a promising packaging for frankfurter-type sausages.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPolyamide-alginate FilmNanoparticleNisin?-polylysineFrankfurterPlant ExtractActive PackagingAntimicrobial Polyamide-Alginate Casing Incorporated with Nisin and ?-Polylysine Nanoparticles Combined with Plant Extract for Inactivation of Selected Bacteria in Nitrite-Free Frankfurter-Type SausageArticle105--10.3390/foods1005100334064386Q1WOS:000653868600001Q1
