ABSTRACT Recent outbreaks traced to contaminated flour have created a need in the milling industry for a process that reduces pathogens in wheat while maintaining its functional properties. Vacuum steam treatment is a promising technology for treatment of low-moisture foods. Traditional thermal treatment methods can compromise wheat functionality due to high temperatures; thus, maintaining the functional quality of the wheat protein was critical for this research. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of vacuum steam treatment of hard red spring (HRS) wheat kernels on final flour quality and the overall efficacy of vacuum stream treatment for reducing pathogens on HRS wheat kernels. HRS wheat samples were treated with steam under vacuum at 65, 70, 75, and 85°C for 4 and 8 min. Significant changes in dough and baked product functionality were observed for treatments at ≥70°C. Treatment time had no significant effect on the qualities evaluated. After determining that vacuum steam treatment at 65°C best preserved product quality, HRS wheat was inoculated with Escherichia coli O121 and Salmonella Enteritidis PT 30 and processed at 65°C for 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 min. The treatments achieved a maximum average reduction of 3.57 ± 0.33 log CFU/g for E. coli O121 and 3.21 ± 0.27 log CFU/g for Salmonella. Vacuum steam treatment could be an effective pathogen inactivation method for the flour milling industry. HIGHLIGHTS

Smoke Sample

Liquid smoke extracts have traditionally been used as flavoring agents, are known to possess antioxidant properties, and serve as natural alternatives to conventional antimicrobials. The antimicrobial efficacies of commercial liquid smoke samples may vary depending on their source and composition and the methods used to extract and concentrate the smoke. We investigated the MICs of eight commercial liquid smoke samples against Salmonella Enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. The commercial liquid smoke samples purchased were supplied by the manufacturer as water-based or concentrated extracts of smoke from different wood sources. The MICs of the commercial smokes to inhibit the growth of foodborne pathogens ranged from 0.5 to 6.0% for E. coli, 0.5 to 8.0% for Salmonella, and 0.38 to 6% for S. aureus. The MIC for each liquid smoke sample was similar in its effect on both E. coli and Salmonella. Solvent-extracted antimicrobials prepared using pecan shells displayed significant differences between their inhibitory concentrations depending on the type of solvent used for extraction. The results indicated that the liquid smoke samples tested in this study could serve as effective natural antimicrobials and that their inhibitory effects depended more on the solvents used for extraction than the wood source.

Iceberg lettuce is a major component in vegetable salad and has been associated with many outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. In this study, several combinations of lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide were tested to obtain effective antibacterial activity without adverse effects on sensory characteristics. A five-strain mixture of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis, and Listeria monocytogenes was inoculated separately onto fresh-cut lettuce leaves, which were later treated with 1.5% lactic acid plus 1.5% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at 40°C for 15 min, 1.5% lactic acid plus 2% H2O2 at 22°C for 5 min, and 2% H2O2 at 50°C for 60 or 90 s. Control lettuce leaves were treated with deionized water under the same conditions. A 4-log reduction was obtained for lettuce treated with the combinations of lactic acid and H2O2 for E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Enteritidis, and a 3-log reduction was obtained for L. monocytogenes. However, the sensory characteristics of lettuce were compromised by these treatments. The treatment of lettuce leaves with 2% H2O2 at 50°C was effective not only in reducing pathogenic bacteria but also in maintaining good sensory quality for up to 15 days. A ≤4-log reduction of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Enteritidis was achieved with the 2% H2O2 treatment, whereas a 3-log reduction of L. monocytogenes was obtained. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between pathogen population reductions obtained with 2% H2O2 with 60- and 90-s exposure times. Hydrogen peroxide residue was undetectable (the minimum level of sensitivity was 2 ppm) on lettuce surfaces after the treated lettuce was rinsed with cold water and centrifuged with a salad spinner. Hence, the treatment of lettuce with 2% H2O2 at 50°C for 60 s is effective in initially reducing substantial populations of foodborne pathogens and maintaining high product quality.

Este trabalho reporta o potencial antibacteriano in vitro e toxicológico in vivo das folhas do jambo (Syzygium malaccense) frente a zebrafish (Danio rerio) adulto (ZFa). As folhas de jambo foram submetidas a desidratação (35 ± 2°C) por 24 horas, trituração e posterior extração de metabólitos por decocção, infusão e maceração com água destilada. Os extratos obtidos foram liofilizados e submetidos a análise de atividade antibacteriana in vitro frente a Gram-negativas (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella Enteritidis IAL 1132) e Gram-positivas (Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 e Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 27664), bem como ao potencial toxicológico in vivo frente ao ZFa. O extrato obtido por infusão se mostrou mais promissor, pois apresentou concentração mínima bactericida (CMB) e concentração mínima inibitória (CMI) com maior potencial frente às gram- positivas (CMB - 6,25 e CMI - 6,25 mg/ml), bem como às gram-negativas (CMB - 25,0 e 3,125 e CMI - 3,125 mg/ml). Todos os extratos testados não se mostraram tóxicos frente ao zebrafish adulto e não alteraram o sistema locomotor dos mesmos. Desta forma, conclui-se que o extrato aquoso das folhas do jambo vermelho (Syzygium malaccense) obtido por infusão é seguro e pode ser utilizado como conservante natural com maior ação antibacteriana. Este trabalho nos conduz a novos estudos de isolamento e caracterização de princípios bioativos.

Steam Pasteurization

A laboratory-scale vertical tower steam pasteurization unit was evaluated to determine the antimicrobial effectiveness of different exposure times (0, 3, 6, 12, and 15 s) and steam chamber temperatures (82.2, 87.8, 93.3, and 98.9°C) against pathogens (Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria innocua) inoculated onto prerigor beef tissue. Samples were collected and microbiologically analyzed immediately before and after steam treatment to quantify the effectiveness of each time-temperature combination. The 0-s exposure at all chamber temperatures (cold water spray only, no steam treatment) was the experimental control and provided ≤0.3 log CFU/cm2 reductions. Chamber temperatures of 82.2 and 87.8°C were ineffective (P > 0.05) at all exposure times. At 93.3°C, significant reductions (>1.0 log CFU/cm2) were observed at exposure times of ≥6 s, with 15 s providing approximately 1 log cycle greater reductions than 12 s of exposure. The 98.9°C treatment was consistently the most effective, with exposure times of ≥9 s resulting in >3.5 log CFU/cm2 reductions for all pathogens.

ABSTRACT The effects of high-intensity pulsed-light emissions of high or low UV content on the survival of predetermined populations ofListeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli,Salmonella enteritidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus were investigated. Bacterial cultures were seeded separately on the surface of tryptone soya-yeast extract agar and were reduced by up to 2 or 6 log10 orders with 200 light pulses (pulse duration, ∼100 ns) of low or high UV content, respectively (P < 0.001).
