Abstract
Dry-cured meat products are gaining attention owing to their distinctive sensory characteristics and health benefits. In this study, two Debaryomyces hansenii strains were investigated for their potential as starter cultures for dry-cured pork belly products. After preliminary screening, these D. hansenii strains, namely, S20 and S26, both exhibiting with excellent aroma-producing capacity in a dry-cured meat model, were selected as single-strain starter cultures. For comparison, a non-inoculated control was also evaluated. In S20- and S26-inoculated pork belly, yeast dominated the microbiota and improved microbiological safety by suppressing Enterobacteriaceae growth. Compared with the non-inoculated control, the inoculated pork belly yielded higher hardness and redness (a*) values. Starter culture inoculation accelerated proteolysis in pork belly, improving the content of total free amino acids (TFFAs) and several essential free amino acids (Thr, Val, Met, Ile, Leu, and Phe) at the end of processing. Moreover, the inoculated samples exhibited higher levels of fat oxidation-derived aldehydes as well as esters, acids, alcohols and other compounds than the non-inoculated control at the end of the 95-day ripening period. Overall, these findings provide new insights into the application of D. hansenii isolated from dry-cured ham to dry-cured pork belly.

[PMID: 38448091 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Meat dry aging consists in storing unpackaged meat in a cold room, and at a specific and controlled relative humidity (RH), for a period of 1 to 5 weeks or more. This practice has become widespread in recent years due to its positive effect on the tenderness of the meat but also on other organoleptic characteristics and therefore its market value. The objective of this work was to study the bacterial and fungal microbiota of dry-aged beef at the commercial stage by both culture-dependent and -independent approaches. Fifty-eight samples of dry-aged meat from different producer types (meat processing plants, artisanal and supermarket butchers) were studied. The dry-aging conditions (temperature, RH) of the meats, as well as the surface pH and aw, were measured. The main microbial groups were enumerated by culture on various dedicated media. Concerning fungi, isolates of yeasts and molds (n = 257) were identified after dereplication by FTIR spectroscopy and/or sequencing of taxonomically relevant genes (26S rDNA, ITS, β-tubulin, actin). Metagenetic analyzes targeting the V3-V4 regions of 16S rDNA and ITS2 were also performed. Overall, ripening practices were diversified with temperatures and RH between 0.5 and 2.8 °C (median = 2 °C) and 47 and 88 % (median = 70 %), respectively. The aerobic colony count varied between 1.97 and 10.91 log10 CFU/g (median = 8.32 log10 CFU/g) and was similar to that of Pseudomonas spp., indicating that this bacterial group was dominant. Yeast populations varied between <2 and 9.41 log10 CFU/g, while molds showed abundances between <2 and 7.7 log10 TFU/g, the highest values being found in meats matured with a high RH. Bacterial and mold counts were positively correlated with the dry-aging RH and, to a lesser extent, temperature. The main yeast species were Candida zeylanoides and Yarrowia alimentaria as well as Itersonilia pannonica (identified only in metagenetics). The dominant mold species were psychrophilic or psychrotrophic species, namely Mucor complex flavus and Helycostylum elegans/pulchrum that have already been shown to be associated with dry-aged beef meat. This study has identified the main microorganisms associated with dry-aged meat in France, which raises the question of their role in the organoleptic quality of these higher value products.

Abstract
Yeasts are a widespread group of microorganisms that are receiving increasing attention from scientists and industry. Their diverse biological activities and broad-spectrum antifungal activity make them promising candidates for application, especially in postharvest biocontrol of fruits and vegetables and food biopreservation. The present review focuses on recent knowledge of the mechanisms by which yeasts inhibit pathogenic fungi and/or spoilage fungi and bacteria. The main mechanisms of action of bioprotective yeasts include competition for nutrients and space, synthesis and secretion of antibacterial compounds, mycoparasitism and the secretion of lytic enzymes, biofilm formation, quorum sensing, induced systemic resistance of fruit host, as well as the production of reactive oxygen species. Preadaptation of yeasts to abiotic stresses such as cold acclimatization and sublethal oxidative stress can improve the effectiveness of antagonistic yeasts and thus more effectively play biocontrol roles under a wider range of environmental conditions, thereby reducing economic losses. Combined application with other antimicrobial substances can effectively improve the efficacy of yeasts as biocontrol agents. Yeasts show great potential as substitute for chemical additives in various food fields, but their commercialization is still limited. Hence, additional investigation is required to explore the prospective advancements of yeasts in the field of biopreservation for food.

Selection of yeast strains in naturally fermented cured meat as promising starter cultures for fermented cured beef, a traditional fermented meat product of northern China. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:883-891. [PMID: 37698856 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fermented meat products are meat products with a unique flavor, color, and texture as well as an extended shelf life under natural or artificially controlled conditions. Microorganisms or enzymes are used to ferment the raw meat so that it undergoes a series of biochemical and physical changes. Common fermentation strains are lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, staphylococci, molds, and so forth. Studies on the inhibitory effect of yeast fermentation strain on N-nitrosamines in fermented meat products have not been reported. Two excellent yeast starters were identified to solve the problem of nitrosamines in fermented meat products. RESULTS Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Debaryomyces hansenii led to weak acid production, strong resistance to NaCl and NaNO2 , and high tolerance to low acidic conditions. The inoculated fermented beef exhibited decreased lightness, moisture content, water activity, pH, protein content, nitrite content, and N-nitrosamine content in comparison with the control group fermented bacon. M. guilliermondii had a better effect, reducing pH from 5.69 to 5.41, protein content from 254.24 to 221.92 g·kg-1 , nitrite content from 28.61 to 25.33 mg·kg-1 and N-nitrosamine by 18.97%, and giving the fermented beef the desired meat color, mouthfeel, odor, taste, and tissue quality. CONCLUSION In this study, two strains of yeast fermenters that can degrade N-nitrosamine precursors were identified, which to some extent solves the problem of the high risk of generating nitrosamines such as N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) by processing fermented meat products with nitrites as precursors. These two strains are likely to be used as starter cultures for fermented meat products. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Ripened foods of animal origin comprise meat products and dairy products, being transformed by the wild microbiota which populates the raw materials, generating highly appreciated products over the world. Together with this beneficial microbiota, both pathogenic and toxigenic microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium botulinum, Escherichia coli, Candida spp., Penicillium spp. and Aspergillus spp., can contaminate these products and pose a risk for the consumers. Thus, effective strategies to hamper these hazards are required. Additionally, consumer demand for clean label products is increasing. Therefore, the manufacturing sector is seeking new efficient, natural, low-environmental impact and easy to apply strategies to counteract these microorganisms. This review gathers different approaches to maximize food safety and discusses the possibility of their being applied or the necessity of new evidence, mainly for validation in the manufacturing product and its sensory impact, before being implemented as preventative measures in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point programs.

Abstract
3-Methylthio-1-propanol (3-Met) is widely used as a flavoring substance and an essential aroma ingredient in many foods. Producing 3-Met by microbial transformation is green and eco-friendly. In the present study, one strain, YHM-G, which produced a high level of 3-Met, was isolated from the Baijiu-producing environment. Strain YHM-G was identified as Hyphopichia burtonii according to its morphological properties, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and ribosomal large subunit 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 domain sequence analysis. The optimal conditions for 3-Met production by YHM-G were obtained by single factor design, Plackett-Burman design, steepest ascent path design and response surface methodology as follows: 42.7 g/L glucose, pH 6, 0.9 g/L yeast extract, 6 g/L L-methionine (L-Met), culture temperature 28 °C, shaking speed 210 rpm, loading volume 50 mL/250 mL, inoculum size 0.5% (v/v), culturing period 48 h and 2.5 g/L Tween-80. Under these optimal conditions, the 3-Met production by strain YHM-G was 3.16 g/L, a value 88.1% higher than that before optimization. Strain YHM-G can also produce a variety of flavor compounds that are important for many foods. This strain thus has the potential to increase the abundance of 3-Met in some fermented foods and enhance their aroma profiles.

Abstract
The first step in the infection of fungal pathogens in humans is the adhesion of the pathogen to host tissue cells or abiotic surfaces such as catheters and implants. One of the main players involved in this are the expressed cell wall adhesins. Here, we review the Flo adhesin family and their involvement in the adhesion of these yeasts during human infections. Firstly, we redefined the Flo adhesin family based on the domain architectures that are present in the Flo adhesins and their functions, and set up a new classification of Flo adhesins. Next, the structure, function, and adhesion mechanisms of the Flo adhesins whose structure has been solved are discussed in detail. Finally, we identified from Pfam database datamining yeasts that could express Flo adhesins and are encountered in human infections and their adhesin architectures. These yeasts are discussed in relation to their adhesion characteristics and involvement in infections.

Abstract
The use of high pressure processing (HPP) for the treatment of dry-cured ham and other meat products has considerably increased worldwide. Its well-documented lethal effect on pathogenic and spoilage bacteria ensures the microbial safety of dry-cured ham and extends its shelf life. However, the effects of HPP on the volatile compounds, odor and aroma of dry-cured ham are less known. In the present review, the effects of HPP on the enzymes and microorganisms responsible for the generation of volatile compounds in dry-cured ham and the changes in the levels of the main groups of volatile compounds resulting from different HPP treatments are discussed. Particular attention is devoted to the fate of odor-active compounds after HPP treatments and throughout further commercial storage. The use of efficient sensory techniques yielding odor and aroma outputs closer to those perceived by consumers is encouraged. Needs for future research on the volatile compounds, odor and aroma of HPP-treated dry-cured ham are highlighted.

Abstract
Yeasts can have additional genetic information in the form of cytoplasmic linear dsDNA molecules called virus-like elements (VLEs). Some of them encode killer toxins. The aim of this work was to investigate the prevalence of such elements in D. hansenii killer yeast deposited in culture collections as well as in strains freshly isolated from blue cheeses. Possible benefits to the host from harboring such VLEs were analyzed. VLEs occurred frequently among fresh D. hansenii isolates (15/60 strains), as opposed to strains obtained from culture collections (0/75 strains). Eight new different systems were identified: four composed of two elements and four of three elements. Full sequences of three new VLE systems obtained by NGS revealed extremely high conservation among the largest molecules in these systems except for one ORF, probably encoding a protein resembling immunity determinant to killer toxins of VLE origin in other yeast species. ORFs that could be potentially involved in killer activity due to similarity to genes encoding proteins with domains of chitin-binding/digesting and deoxyribonuclease NucA/NucB activity, could be distinguished in smaller molecules. However, the discovered VLEs were not involved in the biocontrol of Yarrowia lipolytica and Penicillium roqueforti present in blue cheeses.

Abstract
This is the first human infection caused by Hyphopichia burtonii, resulting in peritonitis in a patient on peritoneal dialysis initially diagnosed as sterile peritonitis, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. This pathogen posed a challenging diagnosis, causing low-grade peritonitis and difficulty to culture with standard bacterial broth. Moreover, automated platforms for pathogenic yeast identification could not specify the species, but broad-range PCR targeting rDNA followed by DNA sequencing successfully solved the etiology.

Abstract
The yeast species Hyphopichia is common in nature and strongly competitive under harsh environmental conditions. Here, we characterized Hyphopichia burtonii KJJ43 and H. pseudoburtonii KJS14, which exhibit strong halotolerance, using genomic and transcriptomic analyses. The genomes of H. burtonii and H. pseudoburtonii comprised eight chromosomes with 85.17% nucleotide identity and significant divergence in synteny. Notably, both Hyphopichia genomes possessed extended gene families of amino acid permeases and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, whose dynamic expression patterns during osmotic stress were revealed using transcriptome profiling. Intriguingly, we found unique features of the HOG pathway activated by Hog1p even under non-osmotic stress conditions and the upregulation of cytosolic Gpd1 protein during osmotic stress. Associated with hyperfilamentation growth under high osmotic conditions, a set of genes in the FLO family with induced expression in response to NaCl, KCl, and sorbitol supplementation were identified. Moreover, comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the NaCl-specific induction of genes involved in amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism, particularly BAT2. This suggests the potential association between oxoacid reaction involving branched-chain amino acids and osmotolerance. The combined omics analysis of two Hyphopichia species provides insights into the novel mechanisms involved in salt and osmo-stress tolerance exploited by diverse eukaryotic organisms.

Abstract
This study aimed to the variations of fungal diversity and community structure in different parts of traditional homemade Sichuan pork bacon. A total of seven phyla and 91 fungal genera were identified. Among them, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the first and second most abundant phyla in the bacon tissues. In addition, five dominant genera (Aspergillus, Candida, Debaryomyces, Malassezia, and Penicillium) were shared by all bacon tissues. The numbers of OTUs unique to individual groups were 14, 67, and 65 for the muscle tissue, the adipose tissue, and pork skin, respectively. Linear discriminant analysis showed that a total of 31 taxa significantly differed among the groups. Results of redundancy analysis indicated that fat content, protein content, aw, and pH of bacon tissue shaped the bacon fungal communities. Results of network analysis also indicated that tissue type was a crucial factor influencing the fungal interactions in different tissues. This study can lay a foundation for further isolation and identification of fungi in the product and provides a basis for further research of food health in homemade traditional pork bacon.

Abstract
The microbial community is one of the most important factors in shaping the characteristics of fermented food. Nuodeng ham, traditionally produced and subjected to 1-4 years of fermentation, is a dry fermented food product with cultural and economic significance to locals in southwestern China. In this study, we aimed to characterize the microbiota and physicochemical profiles of Nuodeng ham across different stages of fermentation. Ham samples from each of the four years were analyzed by sequencing bacterial 16S rRNA gene and fungal internal transcribed spacer sequence, in order to characterize the diversity and composition of their microflora. A total of 2,679,483 bacterial and 2,983,234 fungal sequences of high quality were obtained and assigned to 514 and 57 genera, respectively. Among these microbes, Staphylococcus and Candida were the most abundant genera observed in the ham samples, though samples from different years showed differences in their microbial abundance. Results of physicochemical properties (pH, water, amino acid, NaCl, nitrate and nitrite contents, and the composition of volatile compounds) revealed differences among the ham samples in the composition of volatile compounds, especially in the third year samples, in which no nitrite was detected. These results suggest that the structure and diversity of microbial communities significantly differed across different stages of fermentation. Moreover, the third year hams exhibits a unique and balanced microbial community, which might contribute to the special flavor in the green and safe food products. Thus, our study lends insights into the production of high quality Nuodeng ham.

Effect of a Debaryomyces hansenii and Lactobacillus buchneri Starter Culture on Aspergillus westerdijkiae Ochratoxin A Production and Growth during the Manufacture of Short Seasoned Dry-Cured Ham. Microorganisms 2020; 8:E1623.

Abstract
Recently, specific dry-cured hams have started to be produced in San Daniele and Parma areas. The ingredients are similar to protected denomination of origin (PDO) produced in San Daniele or Parma areas, and include pork leg, coming from pigs bred in the Italian peninsula, salt and spices. However, these specific new products cannot be marked as a PDO, either San Daniele or Parma dry cured ham, because they are seasoned for 6 months, and the mark PDO is given only to products seasoned over 13 months. Consequently, these products are called short-seasoned dry-cured ham (SSDCH) and are not branded PDO. During their seasoning period, particularly from the first drying until the end of the seasoning period, many molds, including Eurotium spp. and Penicillium spp., can grow on the surface and work together with other molds and tissue enzymes to produce a unique aroma. Both of these strains typically predominate over other molds. However, molds producing ochratoxins, such as Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium nordicum, can simultaneously grow and produce ochratoxin A (OTA). Consequently, these dry-cured hams may represent a potential health risk for consumers. Recently, Aspergillus westerdijkiae has been isolated from SSDCHs, which could represent a potential problem for consumers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to inhibit A. westerdijkiae using Debaryomyces hansenii or Lactobacillus buchneri or a mix of both microorganisms. Six D. hansenii and six L. buchneri strains were tested in vitro for their ability to inhibit A. westerdijkiae. The strains D. hansenii (DIAL)1 and L. buchneri (Lb)4 demonstrated the highest inhibitory activity and were selected for in situ tests. The strains were inoculated or co-inoculated on fresh pork legs for SSDCH production with OTA-producing A. westerdijkiae prior to the first drying and seasoning. At the end of seasoning (six months), OTA was not detected in the SSDCH treated with both microorganisms and their combination. Because both strains did not adversely affect the SSDCH odor or flavor, the combination of these strains are proposed for use as starters to inhibit OTA-producing A. westerdijkiae.

Abstract
Panxian ham, a traditional Chinese dry-cured ham, is protected by national geographical indication. Similar to other fermented foods, the microbial population of dry-cured ham is pivotal to taste and flavor formation. This study aimed to establish the relationship between microorganisms and metabolites during the spontaneous fermentation of Panxian ham. Multivariate analysis based on metabolomics data revealed that continuous metabolic changes occurred during the entire fermentation process, with the most significant changes occurring in the initial stage of ripening. Thirty-one significantly different metabolites (SDMs) were identified as discriminant factor, and pathway analysis suggested that these metabolites were involved in 30 pathways, including alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; and arginine and proline metabolism. Microbial community analysis using the Illumina MiSeq platform indicated that the bacterial community was more complex than the fungal community, and their succession regulation differed during processing. At the genus level, 11 bacteria and five fungi were identified as core microbes, of which Staphylococcus was the dominant bacteria and Debaryomyces and Aspergillus were the dominant fungi. Further, statistical redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that Staphylococcus, Debaryomyces, and Chromohalobacter promoted the production of amino and fatty acids; Cobetia and Aspergillus were associated with sugar metabolism, and Kushneria, Penicillium, and Yamadazyma were closely related with organic acids. These findings provide fundamental knowledge regarding the metabolically active microorganisms in Panxian ham, helping industrial processors to develop effective strategies for standardizing quality parameters.

Abstract
Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms which have a long history in the biotechnology of food production, as they have been used since centuries in bread-making or in the production of alcoholic beverages such as wines or beers. Relative to this importance, a lot of research has been devoted to the study of yeasts involved in making these important products. The role of yeasts in other fermentations in association with other microorganisms - mainly lactic acid bacteria - has been relatively less studied, and often it is not clear if yeasts occurring in such fermentations are contaminants with no role in the fermentation, spoilage microorganisms or whether they actually serve a technological or functional purpose. Some knowledge is available for yeasts used as starter cultures in fermented raw sausages or in the production of acid curd cheeses. This review aimed to summarize the current knowledge on the taxonomy, the presence and potential functional or technological roles of yeasts in traditional fermented plant, dairy, fish and meat fermentations.

Abstract
Dry-cured meat products, such as dry-cured ham or dry-fermented sausages, are characterized by their particular ripening process, where a mould population grows on their surface. Some of these moulds are hazardous to the consumers because of their ability to produce mycotoxins including aflatoxins (AFs). The use of native yeasts could be considered a potential strategy for controlling the presence of AFs in dry-cured meat products. The aim of this work was to evaluate the antagonistic activity of two native Debaryomyces hansenii strains on the relative growth rate and the AFs production in Aspergillus parasiticus. Both D. hansenii strains significantly reduced the growth rates of A. parasiticus when grown in a meat-model system at different water activity (aw) conditions. The presence of D. hansenii strains caused a stimulation of AFs production by A. parasiticus at 0.99 aw. However, at 0.92 aw the yeasts significantly reduced the AFs concentration in the meat-model system. The relative expression levels of the aflR and aflS genes involved in the AFs biosynthetic pathway were also repressed at 0.92 aw in the presence of both D. hansenii strains. These satisfactory results were confirmed in dry-cured ham and dry-fermented sausage slices inoculated with A. parasiticus, since both D. hansenii strains significantly reduced AFs amounts in these matrices. Therefore, both tested D. hansenii strains could be proposed as biocontrol agents within a HACCP framework to minimize the hazard associated with the presence of AFs in dry-cured meat products.

Abstract
The behaviour of two combined starter cultures and their influence on the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of dry-cured ham have been evaluated. Three lots of dry-cured hams were tested during processing (0, 9, 48, 74, 112, 142, 166 and 211 days). Lot 1 had no added starter culture. Lot 2 contained a starter culture of Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium nalgiovense, Debaryomyces hansenii, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Micrococcus varians was and lot 3 had L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, P. pentosaceus and M. varians. The use of a selected starter culture based on a combination of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and fungal strains with a demonstrated proteolytic activity such as P. chrysogenum and D. hansenii (lot 2) did not affect the main characteristics of dry-cured ham processing, even enhancing some desirable aspects, like its non-protein nitrogen contents. LAB strains were not significantly affected by combining them with fungal starter, and better counts were found with respect to control. A higher thiobarbituric acid reactive substances content was described in lot inoculated only with LAB (lot 3). Potentially pathogenic microorganisms were not detected in any of the lots studied. The starter culture used in lot 2 showed a potential interest for use in dry-cured ham production.

Abstract
Cured raw hams are a valuable and popular group of meat products. The consumption and international trade have increased during the last years, therefore new technologies to accelerate the production process and to increase product quality and safety are needed. In the current review, an overview of European protected cured raw hams is presented. Furthermore, traditional methods for cured raw ham production together with recent advantages in the techniques for pretreatment (trimming, blade tenderization, and freeze-thawing), curing/salting (tumbling, vacuum impregnation, pulsed pressure, ultrasound, pulsed electric fields, simultaneous thawing/salting), drying/ripening (Quick-Dry-Slice-process, oil drop application, high temperature short time process) and postprocessing (vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging, high hydrostatic pressure, high pressure carbon dioxide, high pressure carbon dioxide with ultrasound) are described. Moreover, application techniques and effects of protective cultures and starter cultures, such as molds, yeasts, coagulase-negative staphylococci and lactic acid bacteria, on cured raw ham quality and safety are reviewed.

Abstract
Three yeast strains belonging to Debaryomyces and Hyphopichia spp., isolated from dry-cured hams and previously tested for biocontrol activity against toxigenic Penicillium nordicum, were investigated for ability in colonising ham surface. Hams were twice yeast-inoculated onto the unskinned muscle surface during ripening and processed up to full maturation in two manufacturing plants. The yeast strains and the manufacturing plants differed (P < 0.05) in surface populations, volatile compounds and sensory descriptors of matured hams. Sensory scores for each of the yeast-inoculated groups were higher or similar to the non-inoculated ones (controls). Debaryomyces strains were regarded as those most fit to colonise the ham surface under the ecological conditions of dry-curing rooms, hence to qualify as biocontrol agents against the growth of undesired mould and preserve the typical sensory properties of dry-cured hams.

Abstract
The ‘Nduja of Spilinga protected geographical indication (PGI) is a spreadable italian salami, obtained by using fat (50%), lean of pork (25%), chili pepper (25%) and NaCl, stuffed into natural pork casing. Its predominant flora is represented by yeasts, reaching at the end of seasoning values of 6 log CFU/g. Considering the need to enhance and protect traditional local products, it seemed interesting to carry out a characterisation of yeasts of the ‘Nduja of Spilinga PGI. A total of 127 strains of yeast isolated from samples of ‘Nduja of Spilinga PGI (79 strains from samples at different days of curing and 48 from samples of commerce) was subjected to morphological identification, hydrolysis of urea, lipolytic activity and identification with API 20C AUX, ID 32C and simplified identification systems. One hundred twenty three (96.8%) strains were attributable to the phylum Ascomycetes (urease-negative), the remaining 4 strains (3.2%) were Basidiomycetes (urease-positive). Debaryomyces hansenii and its anamorph shape, Candida famata, represented the most prevalent species (61.42 and 17.32% respectively), followed by Candida glabrata (8.66%), Pichia (Candida) guilliermondii (5.17%), Candida parapsilosis and Rhodotorula glutinis (1.57%). Candida catenulata, Criptococcus uniguttulatus, Rhodotorula minuta, Candida zeylanoides and Candida utilis were observed with 0.79%. The lipolytic activity was observed only in 10 strains of D. hansenii and in one of C. zeylanoides. Further investigation will contribute to the selection of indigenous strains that could be used for the creation of specific starter, useful to improve the process of characterisation of the ‘Nduja of Spilinga and also to guarantee its safety.

Abstract
Yeast populations of dry-cured Iberian ham isolated from seven industries in the province of Badajoz were characterized by ISSR-PCR using the (CAG)4 primer and PCR-RFLP of the ITS1-5.8S rRNA-ITS2 fragment, and identified by DNA sequencing. A total of 242 isolates were analyzed, indicating the primary species present was Debaryomyces hansenii at 80.9% of the isolates followed by Candida zeylanoides at 10.3% of the isolates. The remainders of isolates were identified as Yamadazyma triangularis, Sporobolomyces roseus, Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Rhodotorula slooffiae, and Cryptococcus victoriae. The ISSR-PCR method was a fast and reliable method which was able to discriminate species at a level comparable to restriction analyses of the ITS1-5.8S rRNA-ITS2 region. This method allowed for strain typing of D. hansenii, yielding 29 different PCR patterns within 196 isolates. Moreover, ISSR-PCR using the (CAG)4 primer indicated that this technique could be a promising tool for rapid discrimination of yeast starter cultures and spoilage species in dry-cured Iberian ham.

Abstract
Twelve yeast strains isolated from the surface of Italian typical dry-cured hams, belonging to D. hansenii, D. maramus, C. famata, C. zeylanoides and H. burtonii species, and previously selected for their ability to grow in dry-cured ham-like substrates, were screened for antagonistic activity against a toxigenic strain of P. nordicum and inhibition of ochratoxin A (OTA) biosynthesis. On average, yeast inhibitory activity was lowered by increasing fungal inoculum and enhanced by NaCl presence. In the assay conditions, H. burtonii and C. zeylanoides were the most effective, both in inhibiting P. nordicum growth and OTA production. D. hansenii was the species with the lowest inhibitory activity, especially in the absence of salt. OTA production dropped from the range < LOD - 5000 ppb in P. nordicum control plates to the range < LOD - 200 ppb in yeast-added plates. OTA production increased in the presence of NaCl in P. nordicum control plates, while salt enhanced inhibition against OTA production in yeast-added plates.

Abstract
Quality of fermented sausages is affected by acidifying lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and colour- and flavour-promoting coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), whether or not used as starter culture. Artisan fermented sausages are often perceived as superior to industrial variants, partially because of the specific microbiota due to spontaneous acidification, which may be considered as an artisan characteristic. Therefore, two kinds of spontaneously acidified Belgian sausages were prepared (Belgian-type salami and Boulogne sausage), but with addition of a Staphylococcus carnosus culture. The Belgian-type salami was made from pork and beef, whereas the Boulogne sausage contained pork and horse meat. In all cases, Lactobacillus sakei was the dominant LAB species present on the raw materials and during fermentation, whereas enterococci remained present in the background. Enterobacteriaceae vanished after fermentation. The CNS species diversity on the raw materials was large and differed between the pork, beef, and horse meat. Nevertheless, this species diversity was annihilated during fermentation by the added S. carnosus culture. The volatiles fraction was mainly composed of aldehydes that originated from lipid oxidation and spices-derived compounds. Aromatic compounds that are typically associated to CNS activity, such as end-products from the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, were not present in the Belgian-type salami and only marginally present in the Boulogne sausage. In conclusion, spontaneous acidification of Belgian-type fermented sausages leads to dominance of L. sakei and is no guarantee for bacterial contribution to the aroma profile when S. carnosus is added as a starter culture.

Abstract
The efficiency of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction analysis and random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR to characterize yeasts growing on dry-cured Iberian ham was evaluated. Besides, the distribution of the main species and biotypes of yeasts in the different ripening areas of this product was investigated. MtDNA restriction analysis allowed yeast characterization at species and strain level. RAPD-PCR with the primers (GACA)(4) and (GAC)(5) was inappropriate for characterization at species level. Most of the mtDNA restriction patterns detected in dry-cured Iberian ham were consistent with Debaryomyces hansenii. Several yeasts biotypes were associated to specific geographic areas of dry-cured Iberian ham ripening.

Abstract
Protocols were developed to apply Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to the dry-curing of Italian Parma ham. NMR relaxation analyses were performed on dry-cured hams at different processing stages to evaluate the ranges of variation of (1)H relaxation times T(1) and T(2) in representative ham muscle tissues, due to dehydration and salt uptake. MRI maps of the same ham sections were acquired, allowing T(1) and T(2) average values to be computed in selected Regions of Interest (ROI) inside muscle Semimembranosus, Semitendinosus and Biceps femoris. Chloride and moisture were determined by conventional chemical methods on the same ROIs, and MRI T(1) and T(1)/T(2) ratio were selected in a model (R(2)=0.90, P<0.05) fitting the salt content of the analysed muscle cores. Short Time Inversion Recovery (STIR) sequences were also applied to green and cured hams, but on fresh samples only, a bright image, displaying a clear separation between lean and fat tissue, was obtained.

Abstract
Even though petroleum-degrading microorganisms are widely distributed in soil and water, they may not be present in sufficient numbers to achieve contaminant remediation. In such cases, it may be useful to inoculate the polluted area with highly effective petroleum-degrading microbial strains to augment the exiting ones. In order to identify a microbial strain for bioaugmentation of oil-contaminated soil, we isolated a microbial strain with high emulsification and petroleum hydrocarbon degradation efficiency of diesel fuel in culture. The efficacy of the isolated microbial strain, identified as Candida catenulata CM1, was further evaluated during composting of a mixture containing 23% food waste and 77% diesel-contaminated soil including 2% (w/w) diesel. After 13 days of composting, 84% of the initial petroleum hydrocarbon was degraded in composting mixes containing a powdered form of CM1 (CM1-solid), compared with 48% of removal ratio in control reactor without inoculum. This finding suggests that CM1 is a viable microbial strain for bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil with food waste through composting processes.
