Background: One of the main objectives of the food industry is the shelf life extension of food products, taking into account the safety requirements and the preference of consumers attracted by a simple and clear label. Following this direction, many researchers look to find out antimicrobials from natural sources. Methods: Tomato, carrot, and melon by-products were used as substrates for lactic acid fermentation using seven strains belonging to the Lactobacillus genus, L. plantarum, L. casei, L. paracasei, and L. rhamnosus. The obtained fermented by-products were then extracted and the antimicrobial activity toward fourteen pathogenic strains of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, and Bacillus cereus was tested through agar well diffusion assay. Results: All the extracts obtained after fermentation had highlighted antimicrobial activity against each pathogen tested. In particular, a more effective activity was observed against Salmonella spp., L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, and B. cereus, while a lower activity was observed against E. coli. Conclusion: Lactic acid fermentation of vegetable by-products can be a good strategy to obtain antimicrobials useful in food biopreservation.

Zapatera spoilage was reproduced in Spanish-style green olive brines adjusted to pH 5 and with a concentration of 5% (wt/vol) NaCl. A relationship between the formation of the compound responsible for the zapatera off odor, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, and consumption of a new compound isolated from olive brines, 4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid, was established. When the latter compound was added to a synthetic medium inoculated with a concentrated microbial suspension from a zapatera brine, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was formed. 4-Hydroxy-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was not detected in fresh olives, NaOH solutions, or water washes. In normal fermentation brines it was not detected after 30 days of brining, its concentration increasing in a progressive manner thereafter during typical lactic acid fermentation of Spanish-style green olives.
