Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes poses significant challenges in the food industry due to its resistance in harsh environments and its ability to form biofilms. Endolysins represent a promising solution for controlling L. monocytogenes in the food industry, with potential applications during both production and storage. This review discusses various endolysins that effectively inhibit L. monocytogenes, emphasizing their optimal conditions and potential uses in food products. When used in combination with current methods such as nisin or high hydrostatic pressure, endolysins enhance food safety by providing synergistic antimicrobial effects. Additionally, cell binding domain enabled specific and rapid L. monocytogenes detection, expanding diagnostic applications through fluorescence tagging and biosensor integration. Advances in engineering endolysins have further improved their lytic efficiency and specificity, making them adaptable to diverse food safety challenges.
期刊介绍：
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
