Characterization, yield optimization, scale up and biopreservative potential of fermencin SA715, a novel bacteriocin from Lactobacillus fermentum GA715 of goat milk origin

Table 5 Effect of fermencin SA715 on surface bacterial count and shelf life of banana

Bacteriocin	Bacterial count (CFU/ml) after 5 days of storage				Shelf-life (days)
	A		R		A	R
	Total	LAB	Total	LAB	A	R
F	2.36 × 10³	1.20 × 10³	2.14 × 10³	1.31 × 10³	6	9
C	4.00 × 10⁷	2.10 × 10³	3.70 × 10⁵	9.4 × 10²	3	5

Fermencin SA715 was topically applied on fresh bananas and subsequently stored at different conditions. Total bacterial count, LAB count, morphological changes and shelf life were measured
F, fermencin SA715; C, negative control; A, ambient condition; R, refrigeration condition
