Abstract
The concentration of nisin in saliva was determined at intervals immediately following ingestion of chocolate milk containing approximately 200 Reading Units/ml. This level is 5-10 times the expected usage of nisin. The majority of nisin disappeared from the saliva within 1 min, and no detectable amounts were present 10 min subsequently. Because of the short residence time, the consumption of nisin-containing products would not be expected to cause a change in the bacterial flora of the oral cavity.Keywords
