Table 1.

Relevant data on the synergic uses of different substances with lysozyme, in order to enhance the susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria.

Combined Use with Application/Claimed Use Antibiotic Activity Evaluated Against/On Refs.
Cinnamaldehyde Storage of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) fillets/lowered total viable count S. putrefaciens and P. fluorescens [177]
Acidic electrolyzed oxidizing water To prolong the shelf life of carp fillets from a microbiological point of view Total viable count, Enterobacteriaceae count, and anaerobic mesophilic count [178]
Heat treatment and dilution with hydrogen peroxide associated with packaging in a controlled atmosphere To extend the shelf life of pork meat by more than 20%, compared with the control sample without lysozyme Aerobic plate count, Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas spp., and lactic acid bacteria [179]
High hydrostatic pressure Not significant enough to differentiate lethality of lysozyme without additives in cheeses made from raw milk B. cereus [180]
Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate salt Buffalo meat in refrigerated conditions Total viable mesophilic count, total viable psychrotrophic count, lactic acid
bacteria, Pseudomonas spp., and B. thermosphacta
[181]
Chitooligosaccharides The microbiological quality of minced meat stored in refrigerated conditions was improved Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus [183]
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt To reduce the growth of Y. enterocolitica in orange beverages Y. enterocolitica [188]
Layer-by-layer chitosan-organic rectorite composites and negative charged sodium alginate. The sensory analysis and physicochemical analysis applied to assess the effects of layer-by-layer film coating confirmed a higher score for the packaged pork (4 °C for 21 days) E. coli and S. aureus [184]
EDTA in anti-microbial starch-based active food packaging films Cooked rice with pulses/effective to inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms Contaminated from the open environmental sources (mainly Gram-negative cocci) [185]
EDTA A different lysozyme activity against the tested microorganisms was observed, increasing the ratio of lysozyme/EDTA from 11.14:8.14 mg/mL to 11.14:14.14 mg/mL. Micrococcus lysodeikticus and Escherichia coli [182]
Enterocin AS-48 Synergy confirmed in liquid whole eggs, egg whites, and egg yolks, at 4 °C and 28 °C B. cereus and S. aureus [186]
Pomegranate peel extract To maintain the quality of mackerel fillets wrapped with gelatin/polycaprolactone composite film and to prolong the shelf life of the product Total mesophilic counts and psychrotrophic bacteria counts [187]
