Plant-derived essential oil components in combination with nisin and diglycerol fatty acid esters were investigated for their antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes. Carvacrol and thymol were found to have the strongest antilisterial properties, followed by eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and isoeugenol. The antilisterial activity of the other essential oils (limonene, pinene, ally lisothiocyanate and linalool) was found to be low, even at the highest concentration used (0.1%). Among the diglycerol esters of fatty acids with different carbon chain lengths, diglycerol monolaurate was the most active against L. monocytogenes. A combined antilisterial effect was observed between nisin and the essential oils (carvacrol, thymol and eugenol); moreover, the addition of diglycerol monolaurate as a third preservative factor led to further combined antilisterial activities between the essential oil constituents (carvacrol, thymol and eugenol) and nisin even at lower, sub-lethal concentrations. These results indicate that nisin and diglycerol monolaurate can be used to enhance the antilisterial activity of essential oils, allowing for a reduction in the dosage used in food preservation and thereby resulting in the reduction of undesirable flavors.
