Abstract

This study investigated the antibacterial effects of S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine (SNAC) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) against Escherichia coli and their application in beef sausages. Both SNAC and NaNO2 demonstrated pH-responsive antibacterial activity, with SNAC showing greater efficacy than NaNO2 (p < 0.05) at the same pH (3, 5, and 7). The reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) induced in E. coli by SNAC were significantly higher than those induced by NaNO2 (p < 0.05), and both ROS and RNS values increased as the pH decreased. In addition, a lower pH led to more pores on the E. coli cell surface and increased membrane permeability, resulting in a more pronounced inhibitory effect. When applied to a beef sausage, SNAC-treated sausages had significantly lower total colony counts and carbonyl content compared to NaNO2-treated ones (p < 0.05). Consequently, SNAC shows great potential as a replacement for NaNO2 in meat products.
