In this paper, we use capabilities of cellular automata such as simplicity of structure, being formulated, produce interesting and complex behaviorof simple cells, to provide a model for checking of antibacterial effect of nano-encapsulated nisin on the shelf life and reduction of listeria monocytogenespopulation in feta cheese. For this purpose, after determining the characteristics and rules that are relating to each of Listeria monocytogenes, nisin and capsul, we simulated system in an artificial environment by using software Netlogo. Then, to evaluate the model,we compare the results of the model with real worldbehavior (laboratory results), in the form of diagram. The results of the model such as the performed laboratory results witness against is that action of encapsulating of nisin in the nano-capsules has had significant effect in the control of Listeria population
