AbstractBackgroundStability of low amoxicillin oral dosage form (5 mg) used in reintroduction drug test was not fully documented. Furthermore, the impact of (1) salt moiety of amoxicillin and (2) amoxicillin – excipient interactions upon the antibiotic formulation stability during the storage was not characterized so that the estimation of the pharmaceutical expiration date from shelf-life was uncertain. Thus, the main goal of this study was to estimate the shelf-life of two formulations of amoxicillin, using a semi-predictive methodology.MethodsAmoxicillin sodium (AS) and amoxicillin trihydrate (ATH), corresponding to 5-mg amoxicillin, were compounded with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in oral hard capsules which were, then, submitted to four environmental conditions (25 °C / 60% or 80% relative humidity (RH); 40 °C / 75% RH; 60 °C / 5% RH) in climatic chambers for 45 and 84 days. Therefore, the characterization of amoxicillin-MCC mixture was assessed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) The profiles of amoxicillin content (determined by stability indicating chromatographic method) as a function of storage time, temperature and RH were fitted to pre-defined kinetic models performed by accelerated predictive stability (APS).ResultsATR-FTIR analysis of AS, ATH, MCC and bulk specimens stored in heated and humid atmosphere confirmed water sorption to cellulose described by a broad and unresolved 3600 to 3000 cm−1 band associated with (1) general intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water and hydroxyl groups of the cellulose, and with (2) free hydroxyl in cellulose. Moreover, a dramatic decrease of absorption at 1776 and 1687 cm−1 respectively characteristic of the β-lactam ring (νC=O) and amide group (νC=O), was revealed as a consequence of AS and ATH degradation caused by moisturization of bulk. Amoxicillin degradation was established by chromatographic analysis showing faster AS degradation than ATH throughout time exposure. The combined effects of temperature – RH were successfully modeled by APS, where AS and ATH showed accelerated (auto-catalysis degradation mechanism) and linear degradation, respectively. The faster AS degradation was assumed to be linked to lower hydrogen donor to hydrogen acceptor count ratio and polar surface than ATH, increasing the probability of AS hydrolysis by water adsorption to AS-MCC solid dispersion (e.g., by reduction of protective intramolecular hydrogen bonds between AS molecules). Furthermore, the compounding which involved a drastic homogenization of solids may have affected the crystalline degree of MCC with an increase of amorphous phase more sensitive to water adsorption.ConclusionsThe improvement of amoxicillin compounding for oral dose forms might be rationalized by taking into account the molecular descriptors of salt moiety and excipients, improved by the choice of an appropriate process of production, characterized from infrared vibrational spectroscopy and chromatographic analysis and finally predicted from accelerated stability assays.

The Impact

The aim of this study was to compare the impact of a high-protein meal replacement (HP-MR) versus a control (CON) breakfast on exercise metabolism. In this acute, randomized controlled, cross-over study, participants were allocated into two isocaloric arms: (a) HP-MR: 30% carbohydrate, 43% protein, and 27% fat; (b) CON: 55% carbohydrate, 15% protein, and 30% fat. Following breakfast, participants performed a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise while inside a whole-body calorimetry unit. Energy expenditure, macronutrient oxidation, appetite sensations, and metabolic blood markers were assessed. Forty-three healthy, normal-weight adults (24 males) participated. Compared to the CON breakfast, the HP-MR produced higher fat oxidation (1.07 ± 0.33 g/session; p = 0.003) and lower carbohydrate oxidation (−2.32 ± 0.98 g/session; p = 0.023) and respiratory exchange ratio (−0.01 ± 0.00; p = 0.003) during exercise. After exercise, increases in hunger were lower during the HP-MR condition. Changes in blood markers from the fasting state to post-exercise during the HP-MR condition were greater for insulin, peptide tyrosine-tyrosine, and glucagon-like peptide 1, and lower for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and glycerol. Our primary findings were that an HP-MR produced higher fat oxidation during the exercise session, suppression of hunger, and improved metabolic profile after it.

The present study was conducted to assess the impact of chitosan coating (1%) containing Artemisia fragrans essential oil (500, 1000, and 1500 ppm) as antioxidant and antimicrobial agent on the quality properties and shelf life of chicken fillets during refrigerated storage. After packaging meat samples, physicochemical, microbiological, and organoleptic attributes were evaluated at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days at 4 °C. The results revealed that applied chitosan (CH) coating in combination with Artemisia fragrans essential oils (AFEOs) had no significant (p < 0.05) effects on proximate composition among treatments. The results showed that the incorporation of AFEOs into CH coating significantly reduced (p < 0.05) pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), especially for 1% CH coating + 1500 ppm AFEOs, with values at the end of storage of 5.58, 1.61, and 2.53, respectively. The coated samples also displayed higher phenolic compounds than those obtained by uncoated samples. Coated chicken meat had, significantly (p < 0.05), the highest inhibitory effects against microbial growth. The counts of TVC (total viable counts), coliforms, molds, and yeasts were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in 1% CH coating + 1500 ppm AFEOs fillets (5.32, 3.87, and 4.27 Log CFU/g, respectively) at day 12. Organoleptic attributes of coated samples also showed the highest overall acceptability scores than uncoated ones. Therefore, the incorporation of AFEOs into CH coating could be effectively used for improving stability and shelf life of chicken fillets during refrigerated storage.

The Impact

Phenols are plant metabolites characterised by several interesting bioactive properties such as antioxidant and bactericidal activities. In this study the application of a phenols concentrate (PC) from olive vegetation water to two different fresh products – gilt-head seabream (<em>Sparus aurata</em>) and chicken breast – was described. Products were treated in a bath of PC (22 g/L; chicken breast) or sprayed with two different solutions (L1:0.75 and L2:1.5 mg/mL; seabream) and then stored under refrigeration conditions. The shelf life was monitored through microbiological analyses – quality index method for seabream and a specific sensory index for raw breast. The secondary products of lipid-peroxidation of the chicken breast were determined using the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) test on cooked samples. Multivariate statistical techniques were adopted to investigate the impact of phenols and microbiological data were fitted by DMfit software. In seabream, the levels of PC did not highlight any significant difference on microbiological and sensory features. DMfit models suggested an effect only on H<sub>2</sub>S producing bacteria with an increased lag phase compared to the control samples (C: 87 h <em>vs</em> L2: 136 h). The results on chicken breast showed that the PC bath clearly modified the growth of <em>Pseudomonas</em> and <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em>. The phenol dipping was effective in limiting lipid-peroxidation (TBARs) after cooking. Treated samples disclosed an increase of shelf life of 2 days. These could be considered as preliminary findings suggesting the use of this concentrate as preservative in some fresh products.

Acid Salts

Microbiological and sensory characteristics of treated whole and peeled shrimp from the east coast of Saudi Arabia were evaluated. Shrimp samples were treated with organic acid salts with or without Bifidobacterium breve culture and stored in ice. Peeling alone extended the microbiological shelf life by 4 days. Treatment of whole shrimp with sodium acetate alone or potassium sorbate with bifidobacteria prolonged the microbiological shelf life by 3 days and increased the microbial generation time from 12.8 h (control) to 30.1 h or 31.4 h, respectively. The microbiological and sensory shelf life of peeled shrimp treated with sodium acetate was more than 17 days. Sodium acetate extended the microbial lag phase and lengthened the generation time (38.7 h compared to 15.8 h for the control). Micrococci and coryneforms were the predominant microorganisms in whole shrimp during storage. Treatment with sodium acetate maintained better sensory characteristics for peeled shrimp than potassium sorbate combined with bifidobacteria.

The Impact

It is well established that storing hatching eggs over a longer period of time affects its quality. The current study evaluated the impact of egg storage duration in-relation to two different temperature conditions (room and refrigerator) to determine the bacterial load and shelf life of viable eggs. One hundred and twenty eggs were used for this study, 60 were boiled and 60 were raw. Thirty of the boiled eggs were stored at room temperature and the other 30 eggs were kept in the refrigerator. Similarly, 30 raw eggs were each stored at room and optimal refrigeration temperatures for eggs (< 7 oC) respectively, while the egg weight, viability and sensory tests were performed daily on the eggs. However, the eggs kept in the refrigerator were viable for longer and relatively maintained higher physical appearance and sensory quality compared to eggs kept at room temperature. In the investigation of bacterial load, the total viable count ranged from 6.0× 103 to 11.9 × 103 coliform forming unit per millilitre (cfu/ml) and 1.0 × 103 to 6.5 × 103 cfu/ml for the boiled eggs kept at room and refrigeration temperatures (BRT and BFT) respectively. More so, the bacterial counts in raw eggs obtained at room and refrigerator storage ranged from 4.8 × 103 to 6.5 × 103 cfu/ml. Subsequently, the characterization and identification of bacterial isolates indicated the presence of Salmonella pullorum, Proteus mirabilis and Pseudomonas sp. The Salmonella pullorum was isolated from all the egg samples (BRT, BFT, RRT and RFT). The Proteus mirabilis was isolated from boiled eggs kept in both room and refrigerator temperatures (BRT and BFT) while Pseudomonas sp. was obtained only from raw eggs stored in the refrigerator (RFT). In addition, the boiled eggs at room temperature started deterioration on Day 9, while its counterpart in the refrigerator began spoilage or decrease in quality from Day 16. The weight of the viable eggs in relation to the non-viable ones was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The refrigeration of eggs increases its longevity while proper hygiene and adequate boiling of eggs reduces the risk of acquiring infections through bacterial contamination.

Chagalapoli fruit (Ardisia compressa) is similar to Vaccinium myrtillus (berries) with high-polyphenol content. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of Chagalapoli fruit and to determine the conditions for the preparation of a fermented beverage using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, evaluating the impact on sensory properties. The fermentation process lasted 4 days at 27 &deg;C, with absence of light and a fixed pH of 3.8. The phenolic contents obtained in samples according to chromatograms were 1.27 mg(EPI)/mL in filtered juice, 1.59 mg(EPI)/mL in filtered fermented beverage, 1.91 mg(EPI)/mL in partially filtered juice and 3.19 mg(EPI)/mL in partially filtered fermented beverage. An affective test was carried out to determine the sensory acceptability of the final product, evaluating the flavor, color and aroma parameters. The fermented beverage with the greatest preference on color and flavor attributes was the partially filtered fermented beverage.

Potato, the third most important food crop worldwide, is rich in nutrients but low in protein. By contrast, milk is rich in protein. Yogurts produced through the cofermentation of potatoes and milk is a highly nutritious food. In addition, the quality and shelf life of yogurts are hot topics in the dairy industry. The objective of this study was to explore the effect of the addition of essential oil (EO) on the shelf life and quality of potato yogurt. The antimicrobial effects of several EOs were compared, the effect of perilla leaf EO (PLEO) content on potato yogurt was discussed, and the volatile flavor components of PLEO and PLEO potato yogurt were detected. Furthermore, the effects of storage time and temperature on the pH, microbial counts, and sensory characteristics of PLEO potato yogurt were analyzed to establish a shelf life model. Results showed that PLEO had a good antimicrobial effect and was the appropriate EO. A total of 69 compounds were detected in PLEO, with limonene being the main compound. PLEO had an effect on the pH, sensory characteristics, and viable counts of potato yogurt during storage. The best PLEO addition amount was 0.04%. PLEO had a considerable influence on volatile flavor components, and the consumer acceptance of 0.04% PLEO potato yogurt was better than that of potato yogurt without PLEO in the later stage of storage. Moreover, the shelf life of potato yogurt with PLEO was 6 days longer than that of the control yogurt. PLEO also improved the content of active terpene substances in potato yogurt. The prediction models based on pH and sensory scores at 5 °C were established as A = A 0 e 0.00323 t  and A = A 0 e 0.00355 t , respectively. Comparing the accuracy factor and deviation factor of the models revealed that the sensory prediction model was more rational than the pH prediction model. Data from this study provided support to the potential industrial application and shelf life prediction of EO yogurt.
