AbstractListeriosis is a food borne disease associated with high hospitalization and fatality rates; in 2014, EU member states reported 2194 cases with 98.9% hospitalization rates and 210 fatalities. Proper risk analysis and the development of effective food safety strategies critically depend on the knowledge of the growth characteristics ofL. monocytogeneson the product in question. Ready-to-eat (RTE) salads present a challenge in this context due to the absence of a heat treatment step before consumption and the interaction of pathogens with the plant microbial microbiota. This study provides challenge-test based data of the growth characteristics ofL. monocytogeneson twelve RTE salads. The food matrix, storage time and storage temperature were factors with a significant impact on the growth ofL. monocytogenes. While most tested salads permitted a significant increase ofL. monocytogenesin at least one of the tested conditions, no growth was observed on celeriac, carrot and corn salad products. There was a considerable increase in growth at 8 °C compared to 5 °C. Our data indicate that the reduction of the storage temperature at retail level to 5 °C and product shelf life could help mitigate the risk ofL. monocytogenesin RTE salads.

Storage Temperatures

We tested the growth potential of Listeria monocytogenes on six RTE fruit products at low (4°C at the factory followed by 8°C retail/home storage) and abusive (4°C followed by 12°C) storage temperatures. Sliced coconut and fresh cut cantaloupe, as well as a fruit mix containing diced pineapple, cantaloupe, apples and grapes supported the growth of L. monocytogenes with a growth potential d>0.5 log CFU/g over six days. Mangoes, a mix of diced kiwi, cantaloupe and pineapple as well as a mix of diced pineapple, mango, grapefruit, kiwi and pomegranate did not support a growth potential that exceeded 0.5 log CFU/g over six days. The growth potential of L. monocytogenes correlated significantly with the pH; no product with a pH below 4 showed a significant growth potential of L. monocytogenes. Time after inoculation was also a significant predictor of the growth potential, while the fruit type and storage temperature were not.

<p><em>Coffee is a beverage that is widely consumed around the world. Proper packaging and storage temperature may extend shelf life of ground coffee. The study aimed to analyze the shelf life of ground Arabica coffee stored in different packaging types and temperature, conducted at smallholder coffee plantations in Garut Regency and the Integrated Laboratory of Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute, Sukabumi, from June to August 2018. A completely randomized design in factorial was used with 3 factors and 2 replications. The first factor was the packaging type  which consisted of 3 types: thick alumunium  foil 65</em><em>m</em><em> (AF65), thick alumunium  foil 130</em><em>m</em><em> (AF130), and thick lamination 114</em><em>m</em><em> (L144). The second factor was the storage temperature which consisted of 3 levels: 25 <sup>o</sup>C, 35 <sup>o</sup>C, and 45 <sup>o</sup>C, while the third factor was the storage period which consisted of 5 levels: coffee unstored, and coffee stored for 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks. The variables observed were the water and fat content, and the analysis of shelf life was carried out using the ASLT (Accelerated Shelf Life Test) method. The results showed that during storage, the water content increased, whereas the fat content decreased. Fat content is a critical variable in determining the shelf life of coffee. The coffee in AF130 packaging has longer shelf life than in AF65 and L144. To extend the shelf life of coffee packaged in AF130 and L144 is best kept at 45<sup> o</sup>C whereas coffee in AF65 packaging  is ideally at 25<sup> o</sup>C.</em></p>

The influence of different cooling techniques (dry ice/ice packs) and storage temperature (-2°C/3°C) to prolong the shelf life of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) fillets were evaluated by sensory analysis, physical methods, chemical and microbial analysis. The effects of storage temperature were stronger than of different cooling agents. Superchilling (-2°C) of fillets packed with dry ice resulted in 6 days extension of shelf life compared to chilling (3°C). The use of dry ice parallel to superchilling prolonged shelf life for 1 day compared to fillets stored with ice packs. No negative effects on quality of the fillets where detected that could be linked to cell destruction caused by partial freezing or to sour taste, caused by absorption of CO2 gas in fish flesh.

Two commercially available organic acid salts, potassium lactate (PURASAL HiPure P) and a potassium lactate–sodium diacetate blend (PURASAL Opti.Form PD 4), were assessed as potential inhibitors of Listeria monocytogenes growth in modified atmosphere packaged (MAP) sliced ham in challenge studies. The influence of the initial inoculation level of L. monocytogenes (101 or 103 CFU g−1) and storage temperature (4 or 8°C) was also examined. The addition of either organic acid salt to MAP sliced ham strongly inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes during the normal shelf life of the product under ideal refrigeration conditions (4°C) and even under abusive temperature conditions (i.e., 8°C). During the challenge studies and in the absence of either organic acid salt, L. monocytogenes numbers increased by 1,000-fold after 20 days at 8°C and 10-fold after 42 days at 4°C. Both organic acid salt treatments were found to be listeriostatic rather than listericidal. The addition of either organic acid salt to the MAP ham also reduced the growth of indigenous microflora, i.e., aerobic microflora and lactic acid bacteria. The influence of these compounds on the risk of listeriosis in relation to product shelf life is discussed.

Cold smoked salmon and sushi salmon have been implicated in outbreaks of listeriosis. We performed challenge tests and a durability study with Listeria monocytogenes on different salmon products to determine the growth potential of this important food-borne pathogen. Data from the challenge test showed a significant growth potential of L. monocytogenes on all of the tested salmon products, with faster growth in sushi salmon than in cold smoked salmon. In identical products that were naturally contaminated at low levels, the durability study did not confirm a high growth potential, possibly due to interactions with competing microflora. The injection of sodium lactate (NaL) at a high concentration (30%) into cold smoked salmon significantly reduced the growth potential of L. monocytogenes. In addition to good manufacturing practices, the injection of higher concentrations of NaL may therefore be a useful additional hurdle to prevent growth of L. monocytogenes to high numbers in the tested salmon products.

Argopecten irradians is one of the cultivated species of seafood in China. Frozen, dried, and vacuum-packaged scallops are the main processed forms of this species. Due to their high moisture content, vacuum-packaged scallops are perishable during storage; thus, accurately predicting shelf life according to the storage environment is particularly important for the seafood industry. Vacuum-packaged instant scallops stored at 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 °C were used in the current study. Total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), pH, water activity, color, hardness, and microbiological composition were ascertained during storage. Based on the 10-point hedonic scale, the shelf lives of instant scallops stored at 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 °C were 96, 78, 60, 42, and 32 days, respectively. Using the Arrhenius equation, a mathematic model based on storage temperature, TVB-N, and storage time was established. The Ea and k0 values were 51 kJ/mol and 3.96 × 106. The model can be used to predict the shelf life for any given temperature-time profile.

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the limitations surrounding the yoghurt industry and challenges to producing a bio-yoghurt tablet. The paper looks into challenge facing the yoghurt industry, such as manufacturing and distribution, its short shelf life, heat-sensitivity and relatively heavy weight. It further looks into the selection of strains, excipients and storage conditions with special consideration towards maintaining the viability of the probiotics inside bio-yoghurt tablets. The paper also discusses yoghurt standards and definitions across various countries and suggests a more uniform standard be embraced across countries for ease of categorization and production. Design/methodology/approach The paper is divided into a few major sections; each exploring various aspects of the yoghurt industry. Topics discussed include challenges in yoghurt production and storage; processes involved in bio-yoghurt tablet production, e.g. maximising viability, choice of excipients and more; market trends of yoghurt consumption and potential; and various food standards in countries around the world with a focus on yoghurt. Findings The review finds that yoghurt is a segment of the food industry with big growth potential. Most of the problems associated with yoghurt, i.e. poor shelf life, and heavy weight, can be circumvented by transforming it into a bio-yoghurt tablet. The paper further identifies food standard variations among different countries around the world which could impede yoghurt manufacture and acceptance. Originality/value This paper looks the various challenges surrounding the increased uptake of yoghurt, specifically in the Asian markets and suggests a viable option to overcome this problem, i.e. the use of a bio-yoghurt tablet. Should the worldwide bodies come together and agree to a universal standard involving yoghurt, the industry may see an even bigger expansion.
