Abstract
High pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal technology that can ensure microbial safety without compromising food quality. However, the presence of pressure-resistant sub-populations, the revival of sub-lethally injured (SLI) cells, and the resuscitation of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) cells pose challenges for its further development. The combination of HPP with other methods such as moderate temperatures, low pH, and natural antimicrobials (e.g., bacteriocins, lactate, reuterin, endolysin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase system, chitosan, essential oils) or other non-thermal processes (e.g., CO2, UV-TiO2 photocatalysis, ultrasound, pulsed electric fields, ultrafiltration) offers feasible alternatives to enhance microbial inactivation, termed as "HPP plus" technologies. These combinations can effectively eliminate pressure-resistant sub-populations, reduce SLI or VBNC cell populations, and inhibit their revival or resuscitation. This review provides an updated overview of microbial inactivation by "HPP plus" technologies and elucidates possible inactivation mechanisms.

Use of Essential Oils to Counteract the Phenomena of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock Species. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:163. [PMID: 38391549 PMCID: PMC10885947 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13020163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly widespread phenomenon that is of particular concern because of the possible consequences in the years to come. The dynamics leading to the resistance of microbial strains are diverse, but certainly include the incorrect use of veterinary drugs both in terms of dosage and timing of administration. Moreover, the drug is often administered in the absence of a diagnosis. Many active ingredients in pharmaceutical formulations are, therefore, losing their efficacy. In this situation, it is imperative to seek alternative treatment solutions. Essential oils are mixtures of compounds with different pharmacological properties. They have been shown to possess the antibacterial, anti-parasitic, antiviral, and regulatory properties of numerous metabolic processes. The abundance of molecules they contain makes it difficult for treated microbial species to develop pharmacological resistance. Given their natural origin, they are environmentally friendly and show little or no toxicity to higher animals. There are several published studies on the use of essential oils as antimicrobials, but the present literature has not been adequately summarized in a manuscript. This review aims to shed light on the results achieved by the scientific community regarding the use of essential oils to treat the main agents of bacterial infection of veterinary interest in livestock. The Google Scholar, PubMed, SciELO, and SCOPUS databases were used for the search and selection of studies. The manuscript aims to lay the foundations for a new strategy of veterinary drug use that is more environmentally friendly and less prone to the emergence of drug resistance phenomena.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 103:106771.

Abstract
As an effective non-thermal sterilization method, ultrasound remains at the level of passive bacterial death despite the initial understanding of its sterilization mechanism. Here, we present the perspective that bacteria can choose to actively enter an apoptosis-like death state in response to external ultrasonic stress. In this study, Vibrio parahaemolyticus exhibited apoptotic markers such as phosphatidylserine ectropion and activated caspases when subjected to ultrasound stress. Additionally, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhanced calcium signaling were observed. Further transcriptomic analysis was conducted to investigate the regulatory mechanism of the SOS response in Vibrio parahaemolyticus during an apoptosis-like state. The results showed that the genes encoding the citrate cycle were down-regulated in Vibrio parahaemolyticus cells adapted to ultrasonic stress, leading to an apoptosis-like state and a decrease in production capacity and ability to catabolize carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the level of oxidized glutathione increased, suggesting that the bacteria were engaged in various anti-oxidative stress responses, ultimately leading to apoptosis. Moreover, the ultrasound field activated the regulatory factor CsrA, which facilitates stress survival as cells transition from rapid growth to an apoptotic state through a stringent response and catabolic inhibition system. Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) revealed that the expression of certain key SOS proteins in Vibrio parahaemolyticus was up-regulated following ultrasound treatment, resulting in a gradual adaptation of the cells to external stress and ultimately leading to active cell death. In conclusion, the biological lethal effect of ultrasound treatment is not solely a mechanical cell necrosis process as traditionally viewed, but also a programmed cell death process regulated by cellular adaptation. This enriched the biological effect pathway of ultrasound sterilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional thermal processing is a widely used method to ensure food safety. However, thermal processing leads to a significant decline in food quality, especially in the case of fruits and vegetables. To overcome this drawback, researchers are extensively exploring alternative non-thermal High-Pressure Processing (HPP) technology to ensure microbial safety and retaining the sensory and nutritional quality of food. However, HPP is unable to inactivate the spores of some pathogenic bacteria; thus, HPP in conjunction with moderate- and low-temperature is employed for inactivating the spores of harmful microorganisms. Scope and approach: In this paper, the inactivation effect of high-pressure and high-pressure thermal processing (HPTP) on harmful microorganisms in different food systems, along with the bactericidal kinetics model followed by HPP in certain food samples, have been reviewed. In addition, the effects of different factors such as microorganism species and growth stage, process parameters and pressurization mode, and food composition on microbial inactivation under the combined high-pressure and moderate/low-temperature treatment were discussed. KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The establishment of a reliable bactericidal kinetic model and accurate prediction of microbial inactivation will be helpful for industrial design, development, and optimization of safe HPP and HPTP treatment conditions.

Abstract
Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized peptides to inhibit food spoilage bacteria, which are widely used as a kind of food biopreservation. The role of bacteriocins in therapeutics and food industries has received increasing attention across a number of disciplines in recent years. Despite their advantages as alternative therapeutics over existing strategies, the application of bacteriocins suffers from shortcomings such as the high isolation and purification cost, narrow spectrum of activity, low stability and solubility and easy enzymatic degradation. Previous studies have studied the synergistic or additive effects of bacteriocins when used in combination with other hurdles including physics, chemicals, and microbes. These combined treatments reduce the adverse effects of chemical additives, extending the shelf life of food products while guaranteeing food quality. This review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of bacteriocins in food preservation. It then reviews the combined effect and mechanism of different hurdles and bacteriocins in enhancing food preservation in detail. The combination of bacterioncins and other hurdles provide potential approaches for maintaining food quality and food safety.

Abstract
High pressure processing (HPP) as a nonthermal processing (NTP) technology can ensure microbial safety to some extent without compromising food quality. However, for vegetative microorganisms, the existence of pressure-resistant subpopulations, the revival of sublethal injury (SLI) state cells, and the resuscitation of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state cells may constitute potential food safety risks and pose challenges for the further development of HPP application. HPP combined with selected hurdles, such as moderately elevated or low temperature, low pH, natural antimicrobials (bacteriocin, lactate, reuterin, endolysin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase system, chitosan, essential oils), or other NTP (CO2 , UV-TiO2 photocatalysis, ultrasound, pulsed electric field, ultrafiltration), have been highlighted as feasible alternatives to enhance microbial inactivation (synergistic or additive effect). These combinations can effectively eliminate the pressure-resistant subpopulation, reduce the population of SLI or VBNC state cells and inhibit their revival or resuscitation. This review provides an updated overview of the microbial inactivation by the combination of HPP and selected hurdles and restructures the possible inactivation mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A combination of high-pressure processing (HPP) and antimicrobials is a well-known approach for enhancing the microbiological safety of foods. However, few studies have applied multiple antimicrobials simultaneously with HPP, which could be an additional hurdle for microbial inactivation. The present study applied a full factorial design to investigate the impact of HPP (225-325 MPa; 10-20 min), allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) (0.3-0.9 g kg-1 ) and trans-cinnamaldehyde (tCinn) (1.0-2.0 g kg-1 ) on the inactivation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 and uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) in ground chicken meat. RESULTS The regulatory requirement of 5-log reduction was achieved at 305 MPa, 18 min, 0.8 g kg-1 AITC and 1.7 g kg-1 tCinn for STEC O157:H7 and at 293 MPa, 16 min, 0.6 g kg-1 AITC and 1.6 g kg-1 tCinn for UPEC, as specified by response surface analysis and verified via experiments. The surviving population was eliminated by post-treatment storage of 9 days at 10 °C. The developed linear regression models showed r2 > 0.9 for the E. coli inactivation. The developed dimensionless non-linear regression models covered a factorial range slightly wider than the original experimental limit, with probability Pr > F (< 0.0001). CONCLUSION Simultaneous use of AITC and tCinn reduced not only the necessary concentration of each compound, but also the intensity of high-pressure treatments, at the same time achieving a similar level of microbial inactivation. STEC O157:H7 was found to be more resistant than UPEC to the HPP-AITC-tCinn stress. The developed models may be applied in commercial application to enhance the microbiological safety of ground chicken meat. Published 2020.

Abstract
There is a need to develop food processing technologies with enhanced antimicrobial capacity against foodborne pathogens. While considering the challenges of adequate inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms in different food matrices, the emerging technologies are also expected to be sustainable and have a minimum impact on food quality and nutrients. Synergistic combinations of food processing technologies and food-grade compounds have a great potential to address these needs. During these combined treatments, food processes directly or indirectly interact with added chemicals, intensifying the overall antimicrobial effect. This review provides an overview of the combinations of different thermal or nonthermal processes with a variety of food-grade compounds that show synergistic antimicrobial effect against pathogenic microorganisms in foods and model systems. Further, we summarize the underlying mechanisms for representative combined treatments that are responsible for the enhanced microbial inactivation. Finally, regulatory issues and challenges for further development and technical transfer of these new approaches at the industrial level are also discussed.

Abstract
Recent developments in preservation technologies allow for the delivery of food with nutritional value and superior taste. Of special interest are low-acid, shelf-stable foods in which the complete control or inactivation of bacterial endospores is the crucial step to ensure consumer safety. Relevant preservation methods can be classified into physicochemical or physical hurdles, and the latter can be subclassified into thermal and nonthermal processes. The underlying inactivation mechanisms for each of these physicochemical or physical processes impact different morphological or molecular structures essential for spore germination and integrity in the dormant state. This review provides an overview of distinct endospore defense mechanisms that affect emerging physical hurdles as well as which technologies address these mechanisms. The physical spore-inactivation technologies considered include thermal, dynamic, and isostatic high pressure and electromagnetic technologies, such as pulsed electric fields, UV light, cold atmospheric pressure plasma, and high- or low-energy electron beam.

High pressure processing (HPP) and treatment with the essential oil extract carvacrol had synergistic inactivation effects on Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes in fresh ground chicken meat. Seven days after HPP treatment at 350 MPa for 10 min, Salmonella treated with 0.75% carvacrol was reduced to below the detection limit (1 log CFU/g) at 4°C and was reduced by ca. 6 log CFU at 10°C. L. monocytogenes was more sensitive to these imposed stressors, remaining below the detection limit during storage at both 4 and 10°C after HPP treatment at 350 MPa for 10 min following treatment with 0.45% carvacrol. However, pressure-injured bacterial cells may recover and lead to an overestimation of process lethality when a selective medium is used without proper justification. For HPP-stressed Salmonella, a 1- to 2-log difference was found between viable counts on xylose lysine Tergitol 4 agar and aerobic plate counts, but no significant difference was found for HPP-stressed L. monocytogenes between polymyxin-acriflavine-lithium chloride-ceftazidime-esculin-mannitol (PALCAM) agar and aerobic plate counts. HPP-induced bacterial injury and its recovery have been investigated by comparing selective and nonselective agar plate counts; however, few investigations have addressed this issue in the presence of essential oil extracts, taking into account the effect of high pressure and natural antimicrobial compounds (e.g., carvacrol) on bacterial survival in various growth media. Use of selective media may overestimate the efficacy of bacterial inactivation in food processing evaluation and validation studies, and the effects of various media should be systematically investigated.

Abstract
A laboratory-based study testing 9 Listeria innocua strains independently and a cocktail of 11 Listeria monocytogenes strains was carried out. The aim was to identify suitable L. innocua strain(s) to model L. monocytogenes in inactivation experiments. Three separate inactivation procedures and a hurdle combination of the three were employed: thermal inactivation (55°C), UV-C irradiation (245 nm), and chemical sanitizer (TsunamiTM 100, a mixture of acetic acid, peroxyacetic acid, and hydrogen peroxide). The responses were strain dependent in the case of L. innocua with different strains responding differently to different regimes and L. innocua isolates generally responded differently to the L. monocytogenes cocktail. In the thermal inactivation treatment, inactivation of all strains including the L. monocytogenes cocktail plateaued after 120 min. In the case of chemical sanitizer, inactivation could be achieved at concentrations of 10 and 20 ppm with inactivation increasing with contact time up to 8 min, beyond which there was no significant benefit. All L. innocua strains except PFR16D08 were more sensitive than the L. monocytogenes cocktail to the hurdle treatment. PFR16D08 almost matched the resistance of the L. monocytogenes cocktail but was much more resistant to the individual treatments. A cocktail of two L. innocua strains (PFR 05A07 and PFR 05A10) had the closest responses to the hurdle treatment to those of the L. monocytogenes cocktail and is therefore recommended for hurdle experiments.

Abstract
Essential oil constituents (EOCs) derived from antimicrobial plant extracts can be used for organic preservation of food products. However, the characteristic flavor resulting from EOCs limit the concentration that can be used in high-pH beverages. This work provides an innovative approach of organically preserving a high-pH beverage (watermelon juice) with a natural blend of low-pH fruits (apples and lemons) and EOCs simultaneously. This low-pH fruit blend not only lowers the pH of the food to below critical pH (4.6), but also reduces the potential off-flavors of EOCs, offering a good preservation approach. This was verified using a sensory trial (n = 50) coupled with storage studies and evaluation of various quality parameters using an extreme vertices mixture design with varying proportions of the fruit-base (watermelon juice), the acidulant (apple-lemon juice blend), and the antimicrobial agent (EOC blend). EOC and acidulant containing juices received better sensory scores than those without acidulant, but lower than when EOCs were absent. Microbial load of juices with EOCs after 14 days of storage did not deviate from day 0, while those without EOCs increased 3-fold on a logarithmic scale. Juices containing EOCs also had higher total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. However, presence of EOCs did not impact pH, total soluble solids, titratable acidity or color, while acidification had significant effects on pH and titratable acidity. Optimum composition of juice formulations were prescribed according to a multi-parameter optimization algorithm. We concluded that the process of natural acidification (with apple-lemon juice blend) coupled with antimicrobial plant extracts is successful in extending the shelf-life of fruit juices with minimal effects on quality/sensory parameters. PRACTICAL APPLICATION This research proposes using a unique method for organic preservation of juices using very small amounts of essential oil constituents and acidification. Off-flavors that may arise can be mitigated without the use of chemical additives, but rather with a blend of tart fruit juices, such as apple and lemon juices. The EOCs and the acidulant act synergistically as a hurdle to inhibit microbial growth, so that thermal processing does not need to be employed.

Abstract
Since the first application of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) for food preservation more than 100 years ago, a wealth of knowledge has been gained on molecular mechanisms underlying the HHP-mediated destruction of microorganisms. However, one observation made back then is still valid, i.e. that HHP alone is not sufficient for the complete inactivation of bacterial endospores. To achieve "commercial sterility" of low-acid foods, i.e. inactivation of spores capable of growing in a specific product under typical storage conditions, a combination of HHP with other hurdles is required (most effectively with heat (HPT)). Although HPT processes are not yet industrially applied, continuous technical progress and increasing consumer demand for minimally processed, additive-free food with long shelf life, makes HPT sterilization a promising alternative to thermal processing.In recent years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the response of spores of the model organism B. subtilis to HPT treatments and detailed insights into some basic mechanisms in Clostridium species shed new light on differences in the HPT-mediated inactivation of Bacillus and Clostridium spores. In this chapter, current knowledge on sporulation and germination processes, which presents the basis for understanding development and loss of the extreme resistance properties of spores, is summarized highlighting commonalities and differences between Bacillus and Clostridium species. In this context, the effect of HPT treatments on spores, inactivation mechanism and kinetics, the role of population heterogeneity, and influence factors on the results of inactivation studies are discussed.

Abstract
The inactivation of bacterial spores generally proceeds faster and at lower temperatures when heat treatments are conducted under high pressure, and high pressure high temperature (HPHT) processing is, therefore, receiving an increased interest from food processors. However, the mechanisms of spore inactivation by HPHT treatment are poorly understood, particularly at moderately elevated temperature. In the current work, we studied inactivation of the spores of Bacillus cereus F4430/73 by HPHT treatment for 5 min at 600MPa in the temperature range of 50-100°C, using temperature increments of 5°C. Additionally, we investigated the effect of the natural antimicrobial carvacrol on spore germination and inactivation under these conditions. Spore inactivation by HPHT was less than about 1 log unit at 50 to 70°C, but gradually increased at higher temperatures up to about 5 log units at 100°C. DPA release and loss of spore refractility in the spore population were higher at moderate (≤65°C) than at high (≥70°C) treatment temperatures, and we propose that moderate conditions induced the normal physiological pathway of spore germination resulting in fully hydrated spores, while at higher temperatures this pathway was suppressed and replaced by another mechanism of pressure-induced dipicolinic acid (DPA) release that results only in partial spore rehydration, probably because spore cortex hydrolysis is inhibited. Carvacrol strongly suppressed DPA release and spore rehydration during HPHT treatment at ≤65°C and also partly inhibited DPA release at ≥65°C. Concomitantly, HPHT spore inactivation was reduced by carvacrol at 65-90°C but unaffected at 95-100°C.

Abstract
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP), a non-thermal technology, which typically uses water as a pressure transfer medium, is characterized by a minimal impact on food characteristics (sensory, nutritional, and functional). Today, this technology, present in many food companies, can effectively inactivate bacterial cells and many enzymes. All this makes HHP very attractive, with very good acceptance by consumers, who value the organoleptic characteristics of products processed by this non-thermal food preservation technology because they associate these products with fresh-like. On the other hand, this technology reduces the need for non-natural synthetic additives of low consumer acceptance.
