In the present paper, we examined the antioxidant activity of a defatted grape seeds flour of different grape varieties locally grown in Bulgaria. The seeds are retrieved after alcoholic fermentation and the antioxidant activity of the flour was assessed by using four different methods, namely DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and CUPRAC. The results are presented in mM TE/g extract. The values are 586,08 (±41,55); 945,41 (±90,97); 553,39 (±45,57) and 667,73 (±64,30), respectively. The results are also showed in mM TE/g flour. The values are 58,67 (±4,16); 94,64 (±9,11); 55,40 (±4,56) and 66,85 (±6,44), respectively. During three-month storage of the flour in plastic bags (temperature 25 ºC and relative humidity 75%), no living cells of pathogenic organisms (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp.) or apparent molding were detected. The flour particle size has not changed either.

Pattern minas cheese is a product developed with pasteurized milk, fermented with mesophilic cultures, and with the final addition of rennet. This cheese undergoes an artisanal maturation process and possesses a firm shell of yellowish color and striking and acidic flavor. Our study objective was to evaluate the microbiological quality of pattern minas cheese. We collected 40 samples from two micro regions (Uberlândia and Patos de Minas) of the Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba mesor regions of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The microbiological test results were recorded as counts of enterobacteria, Escherichia coli, coliforms at 35°C, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus and Salmonella spp. In the Patos de Minas micro region, the results were 45%, 35%, 20%, and 20% higher than 103 CFU/g for the counts of enterobacteria, Escherichia coli, coliforms at 35°C, and Staphylococcus coagulase-positive, respectively. Five percent of the analyzed samples were positive for Salmonella spp. in the Uberlândia micro region. Based on the findings of the microbiota in the cheese analyzed from the micro regions (Uberlândia and Patos de Minas), we concluded that the hygiene conditions in the manufacturing, handling, transport, and storage stages were precarious, requiring the implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) systems, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).

Composition and antioxidant activity of grape seed extract (GSE) obtained from red grape varietes are very well documented, in contrast to the white varietes. This paper presents the results of polyphenols content of ethyl acetate extract of grape seeds, obtained from two white grape varieties, Italian Riesling and Zupljanka, and their antioxidant activity on the stable DPPH radical. The influence of the addition of GSE to raspberry juice on the DPPH radical was also examined. Content of total polyphenols in GSEs ranged between 81.6 and 82.8% (w/w), and the contetn of flavan-3-ols between 66.2 and 91.0% (w/w). HPLC results showed that the most abundant components in the extract were (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin for both grape varieties. All tested GSEs exhibited good antioxidant activity. IC50 values for the GSEs of Italian Riesling and Zupljanka were 0.79 and 0.95 mg sample/mg DPPH radical, respectivelly. Since the GSE of Italian Riesling possesed stronger antioxidant activity, it was used for further experiments. The IC50 value for raspberry juice was 4.18 mg raspberry juice/mg DPPH. The raspberry juice with addition of 0.60 ?g/mL of GSE showed antioxidant activity of 39.2%. The same juice with the threefold concentration of vitamin C (1.81 ?g/ml) exhibited similar antioxidant activity (33.9%). Antioxidant activity of the same amount of juice without added antioxidants was lower (15.7%). The results showed that the GSE of white varietes could be considered as a good functional food ingredient.

The paper investigates the effect of the enzymatic pre-treatment of grape seeds from six Romanian cultivars on the oil extracted. The grape seeds of some white and red Romanian grape varieties were separated from winery waste, washed, dried and ground, with the oil then obtained by extraction with petroleum ether. The extraction was performed directly or after a preliminary treatment with a commercial pectin lyase. The enzymatic procedure applied was more cost effective compared to other treatments previously described in which a cocktail of enzymes was used. The quantity of the extracted oil was measured in both types of processing, with an increase being observed for pre-treated samples. The fatty acid profiles (FAPs) of the oils resulted for the treated and untreated seeds were determined. No change in the composition was noticed. The reductive power of these oils was also investigated. Compared to the untreated samples for the same variety, the enzyme pre-treatment resulted in a superior antioxidant capacity.

Glutathione (GSH, γ-L-Glutamyl-L-Cysteinyl Glycine) is a tripeptide of L-glutamate, L-cysteine and glycine. GSH in wine is derived from either grapes or yeast, during alcoholic fermentation. The GSH concentration in wine is very variable and depends on the environmental conditions as well as viticultural practices. During winemaking GSH has a significant role in oxidation prevention due to its unique redox and nucleophilic properties. Since GSH is very reactive it is highly important to prepare samples immediately and under inert conditions just prior to the determination of the GSH concentration. Therefore the aim of this research was to implement a method for the quantitative determination of GSH levels in grape juices (musts) made from different Austrian grape varieties and to investigate the influence of yeast on the GSH content in wine after aging. The results of this research have shown that monitoring with nitrogen gas, sulphur dioxide and freezing process at −25 ºC led to a good protective effect on the free glutathione amount in wine and grape samples. The GSH concentration in the samples was variable. Levels were ranging from non-detectable to up to 23.10 mg/l, and it showed that grape variety has no impact on GSH concentration in the must. Furthermore the results suggest that the choice of yeast has an impact on GSH content in wine even after 6 and 18 months of aging.

This study examined the effects of adaptation to acid and storage temperature on the survival of a nonpathogenic Escherichia coli strain, three strains of E. coli O157:H7, and three strains of Salmonella spp. in ketchup, mustard, and sweet pickle relish. Stationary-phase cells were adapted to acidic conditions in pH 5.0 Trypticase soy broth for 4 h at 37°C. Samples inoculated with individual strains (105 CFU/g for E. coli and 106 CFU/g for Salmonella spp.) were stored at 5 and 23°C. Numbers of surviving cells were determined by plating on Trypticase soy agar. Acid adaptation enhanced the survival of all three Salmonella strains (ATCC 6962, 13311, and 25957) and all three E. coli O157:H7 strains (ATCC 43889, 43894, and 43895), with the magnitude of the effect depending on the strain and storage temperature. Acid adaptation enhanced survival of the nonpathogenic E. coli strain at 5°C, but not at 23°C. Cells of all tested strains survived longer at 5°C than at 23°C. In general, the E. coli O157:H7 strains survived longer than the Salmonella and nonpathogenic E. coli strains. Nonadapted E. coli O157:H7 cells were recovered from ketchup stored for I to 7 days at 5°C, whereas only low numbers of nonadapted Salmonella strain ATCC 25957 were recovered after 1 day at 5°C and no nonadapted Salmonella strains survived 2 days at 5°C. All of the E. coli and Salmonella strains died within 1 h in mustard and sweet pickle relish stored at 5 and 23°C. This study showed that adaptation to acid and low temperature enhanced the survival of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella strains in ketchup but not in mustard or sweet pickle relish.

Bioactive compounds in grapes vary in terms of cultivar and processing conditions. Raw juice and treated grape juices from locally grown Israel blue and locally available, imported, Red Globe and Michele Palieri varieties in Sri Lanka were used for the analysis. Grape juices were subjected to different processing conditions such as pasteurization and pectinase enzyme treatment. Total Monomeric Anthocyanin content (TAC), Total Phenolic Content (TPC), and antioxidant activity were analyzed. Compared to the imported grape varieties, the locally grown, pectinase enzyme-treated Israel blue grape juice with 2% pectinase enzyme concentration, 40 0C incubation temperature, and 2 hours incubation time, under dark condition had the significantly highest values (p < 0.05) for TAC at 177.03±4.15 mg/L of malvidin-3-O-glucoside (M3G), TPC at 527.07 ± 3.55 mg/L of Gallic acid equivalents and antioxidant activity in terms of DPPH radical scavenging assay with IC50 value at 7.05±0.35 mg/mL Gallic acid equivalents and ABTS radical scavenging assay with IC50 value at 0.31±0.01 mg/mL of Trolox equivalents. TAC, TPC, and antioxidant activity of three grape varieties showed the highest values in pectinase enzyme-treated grape juice which was followed by raw juice and the pasteurized juice respectively. This research has taken an approach to enhance the bioactivity of grape juices via pectinase enzyme treatment and evaluate the suitability of locally grown Israel blue grape variety in Sri Lanka to form as a functional beverage to meet nutritional and health requirements.
