The simulated gastric fluid (SGF)-resistance of
S. Typhimurium was determined by subjecting the bacteria to SGF (pH 2.0 or 3.0) [15 (

2PO
4 (Xilong Scientific Co., Ltd.), 2.05 g/L
NaCl, 0.37 g/L
KCl (Xilong Scientific Co., Ltd.), 0.11 g/L CaCl
2 (Xilong Scientific Co., Ltd.), 0.05 g/L
oxgall (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 1 g/L
lysozyme (Solarbio, Beijing, China), and 13.3/L mg
pepsin (1:3000; Solarbio, Beijing, China). Except for the
oxgall,
lysozyme and
pepsin (sterilized by 0.25-μm filters), all the components were dissolved in deionized water and autoclaved. The solution was adjusted to pH 2 or 3, respectively, with 6.0 M HCl. Homogenized beef samples from the 405-nm LED illuminated and non-illuminated groups were transferred into SGF at a ratio of 1:9 (homogenized sample: SGF solution) and incubated with shaking (130 rpm) at 37 °C. At sampling times, each sample was serially diluted in PBS and plated on XLD-agar at 37 °C for 24 h for colony enumeration.
