The smoking of foods, especially meats, has been used as a preservation technique for centuries. Today, smoking
methods often involve the use of wood smoke condensates, commonly known as liquid smoke. Liquid smoke is
produced by condensing wood smoke created by the pyrolysis of sawdust or wood chips followed by removal of
the carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The main products of wood pyrolysis are phenols, carbonyls and
organic acids which are responsible for the avor, color and antimicrobial properties of liquid smoke. Several
common food-borne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, pathogenic Escherichia coli and
Staphylococcus have shown sensitivity to liquid smoke in vitro and in food systems. Therefore liquid smoke has
potential for use as an all-natural antimicrobial in commercial applications where smoke avor is desired.
This review will cover the application and effectiveness of liquid smoke and fractions of liquid smoke as
an all-natural food preservative. This review will be valuable for the industrial and research communities in
the food science and technology areas.

preserving food quality with its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, also imparts a desirable color, avor and aroma to smoked foods.
Application of liquid smoke requires less time than traditional smoking,
is more environmentally friendly, and eliminates potentially toxic compounds while still imparting the desired avors and aromas of traditional smoking. Use of condensates or liquid smoke allows the processor
to control the concentration of smoke being applied more readily than
generating smoke by burning of wood (Suen, Fernandez-Galian, &
Aristimuo, 2001). Liquid smoke is traditionally applied to meat, sh
and poultry and it has also been used to impart avor to non-meat
items such as cheese, tofu and even pet food. Because the smoke avor
is concentrated, application of liquid smoke is best suited for use in marinades, sauces or brines or topically to processed meat items such as hot
dogs, sausage, ham and bacon (Rozum, 2009).
According to an annual poll conducted by The Center for Food Integrity consumers have less condence in the safety and quality of the food
supply and are demanding more all-natural and minimally processed
foods with less synthetic chemical additives (Andrews, 2012). Consumers also have increased interest in organic foods because they believe they are healthier, better tasting, or fresher than conventional
products (Wier & Calverley, 2002). However, although free of synthetic
chemicals, organic and all-natural foods are not exempt from bacterial
contamination and may require the addition of an all-natural antimicrobial to insure their safety. All-natural antimicrobials including those
derived from plants, animals and bacteria have been shown to be effective in increasing the safety of food products by destroying or limiting
the growth of bacterial pathogens. Several reviews have been written
on all-natural antimicrobials from bacterial, plant and animal origin
(Davidson, Critzer, & Taylor, 2013; Juneja, Dwivedi, & Yan, 2012; Rai &
Chikindas, 2011), as well as their use in organic poultry and meat production (Ricke, Van Loo, Johnson, & O'Bryan, 2012; Sirsat, Muthaiyan,
& Ricke, 2009). However, these reviews contain little or no information
on the use of liquid smoke as an effective all-natural antimicrobial. The
review by Holley and Patel (2005) provides a nice overview on the use
of liquid smoke as well as its antimicrobial properties in food systems,
especially in sh. This review builds on the information presented in
Holley and Patel (2005) as well as provides a more detailed and up to
date discussion on the effectiveness of liquid smoke as an all-natural
preservative in food products. We will examine the effectiveness of
liquid smoke, including ranges of microbial susceptibility and factors

been shown to cause birth defects when pregnant mice were exposed to
more than 300 ppm in food. Foods containing levels greater than
900 ppm led to liver and blood defects in test animals (EPA, 2008).
The European Union (EU) regulations limit the amount of PAH allowed
in food while the US Food and Drug Administration has not set an upper
limit for PAH exposure (Dolan, Matulka, & Burdock, 2010). Because data
has shown that it is possible to reach lower levels of B(a)P in smoked
meats, acceptable levels of regulated PAH, specically B(a)P, will drop
from 0.005 to 0.002 ppm in 2014 for these foodstuffs sold in the EU
((EC) No. 835/2011). The 2014 level of PAH is set 150,000 times
below the levels known to cause birth defects. Although PAH are extremely toxic, they have low water solubility which allows liquid
smoke manufacturers to easily separate out these compounds from
their nished products using phase separation and ltration techniques.
For more information on PAH in liquid smoke see Guilln and Sopelana
(2003) and Simon, de la Calle, Palme, Meier, and Anklam (2005).
3. Antimicrobial activity of liquid smoke
Different woods generate different levels of phenols, carbonyls and
organic acids upon pyrolysis which affect their antimicrobial properties
(see Table 2). Liquid smokes from 20 different types of woods including
redwood, black walnut, birch, hickory, aspen, white oak, cherry
and chestnut were assessed for their antimicrobial properties against
Staphylococcus aureus and Aeromonas hydrophila in broth culture
(Boyle, Sofos, & Maga, 1988; Sofos, Maga, & Boyle, 1988). It was found
that wood smoke generated from Douglas r sapwood was inhibitory
to both the bacterial strains in that it delayed initiation of growth and
growth rates of these organisms while smoke from mesquite or lodge
pole pine did little to inhibit these pathogens (Boyle et al., 1988; Sofos
et al., 1988). In a separate study, liquid smoke from white mangrove,
mahogany and abura were shown to inhibit S. aureus and Escherichia
coli. Red mangrove and alstonia were able to inhibit S. aureus, but not
E. coli, indicating that not only does the type of wood affect the antimicrobial properties of liquid smoke but also that pathogenic organisms
have varying degrees of sensitivity to the ingredients of the liquid
smoke (Asita & Campbell, 1990). The susceptibility of major food
borne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, E. coli and Staphylococcus to liquid smoke in laboratory media as well as in model meat systems will be reviewed. Table 3 summarizes the in vitro results of liquid
smoke against several food borne pathogens while Table 4 is a summary
of the antimicrobial activity of liquid smoke against pathogens in model
food systems.
3.1. Possible mechanisms of antimicrobial action of liquid smokes
Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms may behave differently to exposure to liquid smoke or fractions of liquid smoke and there
may be varying susceptibility within differing strains of the same organism thus making it difcult to identify the mechanism and compounds
responsible for microbial inhibition (Sofos et al., 1988). The amount of
phenols present in liquid smoke condensates has been reported to
be approximately 9.911.1 mg/mL (Ramakrishnan & Moeller, 2002).

both two and four weeks of cold storage. All liquid smoke fractions tested contained similar phenol concentrations (0.3 to 0.6 mg/mL) while
carbonyl concentrations ranged from 110 to 200 mg/mL for fractions
S1, S2 and S3 and from 100 to 110 mg/mL for S4. Fraction S4 was also
lower in acidity (0 to 1.4%) and higher in pH (6 to 7.4) than the other
samples (acidity range1.5 to 5.9% and pH 2 to 4.3). Again, the data
suggest that phenols contribute little to the bacteriostatic properties of
liquid smoke and that carbonyl compounds and acidity levels are
important in assessing the antimicrobial properties of liquid smoke
products. The authors also reported that food product composition
also plays an important role in bacterial survival in that the lower end
turkey rolls were apparently able to support bacterial growth better
than the high end turkey rolls or roast beef cuts (Milly, Toledo, &
Chen, 2008).
Liquid smoke has demonstrated ability at reducing foodborne
pathogens including L. monocytogenes, E. coli, S. aureus and Salmonella
in RTE foods and other food products. The exact mechanism of action
is unknown, and both phenolic compounds and carbonyl compounds
are thought to contribute to its antimicrobial properties. Table 4 lists
the chemical components of several commercial liquid smokes and
other liquid smoke fractions discussed below.
4. Antimicrobial activity of liquid smoke against Listeria
L. monocytogenes is a Gram-positive food borne bacterium. Listeria
has the ability to grow to infective doses at low temperatures, high
salt concentrations, and under acidic and microaerophilic conditions,
which make it difcult to control on many ready-to-eat (RTE), refrigerated foods. The infective dose of L. monocytogenes is dependent upon
several factors including the bacterial strain and susceptibility of the individual to the bacterium, but it can be as low as 1000 bacteria (SchmidHempel & Frank, 2007). Consumption of an infective dose of Listeria
may lead to the food borne infection, listeriosis, in humans especially
in older adults or persons who are immunocompromised as well as
pregnant women and newborns. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever,
muscle aches, nausea or diarrhea and may result in meningitis, premature labor, miscarriage or even death. In the US, 1651 cases of listeriosis
and 292 deaths or fetal losses as a result of Listeria infection were reported between 2009 and 2011 (CDC, 2011).
4.1. In vitro effects on Listeria
Pittman et al. (2012) studied the effects of individual stressors of
cold smoking including freezing, thawing, salt exposure, exposure to
liquid smoke and cold storage on virulent and avirulent Listeria. Two

avor and also has inhibitory effects on food borne pathogens. The
preservative effect of liquid smokes is achieved by antimicrobial and
antioxidant compounds such as aldehydes, carboxylic acids and phenols.
Liquid smoke also has several advantages over traditional smoking techniques including ease of application, speed of smoking process, good reproducibility of desired characteristics obtained in the nal smoked
food, and omission of hazardous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
