Abstract

Abstract: The present study was conducted to determine the characterization and antibacterial activity of peppermint essential oil‐loaded solid lipid nanoparticle (PEO–SLN) and its impact on the quality of trout fillet stored at 4 ± 1°C for 12 days. The SLNs were prepared through a bath sonication technique. PEO–SLNs contained 0.2% (w/v) PEO in 2% of lipid phase glycerol monostearate (GMS) and tween 80 (1% w/v) used as a surfactant in the aqueous phase. The characterization parameter of PEO–SLN was evaluated, and the antibacterial activity of PEO–SLNs was conducted under in vitro conditions. Trout samples were analyzed for inoculated Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 during refrigerated storage. The mean particle size of PEO–SLNs was 154.83 ± 1.21 nm with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.35 ± 0.01 and zeta potential was about −24.16 ± 0.51 mV. The results indicated that PEO–SLN had higher antibacterial activity than the free form of PEO and also when used in combination with gelatin coating (gel + PEO–SLN) had a significant effect on preventing microbial growth in trout fillets ( p < 0.05). The most decreasing rate of P. aeruginosa (1.92 log CFU/g), E. coli O157:H7 (0.71 log CFU/g), and L . monocytogenes count (1.69 log CFU/g) was seen in gel + PEO–SLN. These findings illustrated that PEO–SLNs could potentially be utilized in the food industry to increase the shelf life of fish fillets.
