| Abstract | E. coli O157:H7 is a bacterium frequently found on vegetable surfaces, such as cucumber, that can pose a significant threat to consumers. In the present work, proteinase K (PK) and thyme oil (TO) were used to inactivate E. coli O157:H7 biofilms. Both PK and TO were encapsulated in liposomes to improve their chemical stability and to allow for a controlled release. The optimal PK/TO-loaded liposomes (particle size of 170.4 nm, polydispersity index of 0.309, zeta potential of −29.8 mV and entrapment efficiency of 33.2%) were engineered. The antibacterial activities of the PK/TO liposomes against E. coli O157:H7 biofilms in vitro and on the cucumber were observed. Compared to free PK, free TO, and free PK/TO and TO liposome treatments, PK/TO-liposomes exhibited a higher antibiofilm activity and longer action duration. Specifically, the counts of viable E. coli O157:H7 on cucumbers were reduced by 1.23, 2.32 and 2.44 Logs after treatment with 400 mg mL−1 of PK/TO liposomes for 3 d, at 5, 15 and 25 °C, respectively. Colorimetric analysis and sensory tests showed that the PK/TO-liposome treatment had almost no impact on food quality after 1 d. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
