The liquid smoke treatment against L. monocytogenes was dipping for 10-30 min with longest duration being most favorable for inactivation. A thermal treatment of 65°C for 20 min had eliminated by 2- or 4 logs the two levels of inocula. The lower temperature, longer time treatment (30°C, 3 h) was not efficient to control L. monocytogenes, did not eliminate the bacterium and survivors multiplied at 4°C in package bags.
