Changes in inoculated Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Enteritidis and other microbiological qualities of vacuum-packed carrot slices after treatment with aqueous extract of Lobularia maritima. Heliyon 2024; 10:e29065. [PMID: 38576551 PMCID: PMC10990898 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
After harvesting, pathogens can infect fresh vegetables in different ways. Pathogenic bacteria associated with fresh vegetables can cause widespread epidemics associated with foodborne illness. The aim of this study was to assess the microbiological quality of carrot slices after treatment with aqueous extracts of Lobularia maritima (AELm) at different concentrations AELm1 (10 mg/mL), AELm2 (5 mg/mL), AELm3 (2.5 mg/mL) and AELm4 (1.25 mg/mL), and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis, along with vacuum packaging and storage of carrots for 7 days at 4 °C. On days 1. and 7., total viable counts (TVC), and coliforms bacteria (CB), and Salmonella count were all analysed. Microorganisms that were obtained from carrots were identified using MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper Mass Spectrometry. The total viable, coliform bacteria and Salmonella counts were varied by the group of treatment. Higher counts were found in the control group on both days. The most isolated species of bacteria were Salmonella enterica and Pantoea agglomerans on the 1. day and Klebsiella oxytoca on the 7. day. The current study adds useful information for a better understanding of how Salmonella enterica reacts to the effect of AELm and its potential use as a sustainable washing method to eliminate bacteria from freshly cut carrots.

Foods 2024; 13:660. [PMID: 38472772 DOI: 10.3390/foods13050660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Prunella vulgaris L. (PV) is a widely distributed plant species, known for its versatile applications in both traditional and contemporary medicine, as well as in functional food development. Despite its broad-spectrum antimicrobial utility, the specific mechanism of antibacterial action remains elusive. To fill this knowledge gap, the present study investigated the antibacterial properties of PV extracts against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and assessed their mechanistic impact on bacterial cells and cellular functions. The aqueous extract of PV demonstrated greater anti-MRSA activity compared to the ethanolic and methanolic extracts. UPLC-ESI-MS/MS tentatively identified 28 phytochemical components in the aqueous extract of PV. Exposure to an aqueous extract at ½ MIC and MIC for 5 h resulted in a significant release of intracellular nucleic acid (up to 6-fold) and protein (up to 10-fold) into the extracellular environment. Additionally, this treatment caused a notable decline in the activity of several crucial enzymes, including a 41.51% reduction in alkaline phosphatase (AKP), a 45.71% decrease in adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), and a 48.99% drop in superoxide dismutase (SOD). Furthermore, there was a decrease of 24.17% at ½ MIC and 27.17% at MIC in tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity and energy transfer. Collectively, these findings indicate that the anti-MRSA properties of PV may stem from its ability to disrupt membrane and cell wall integrity, interfere with enzymatic activity, and impede bacterial cell metabolism and the transmission of information and energy that is essential for bacterial growth, ultimately resulting in bacterial apoptosis. The diverse range of characteristics exhibited by PV positions it as a promising antimicrobial agent with broad applications for enhancing health and improving food safety and quality.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the inhibitory impact of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on the growth of Morganella psychrotolerans and its ability to form histamine. METHODS AND RESULTS The antimicrobial effect of CGA on M. psychrotolerans was evaluated using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method, revealing an MIC value of 10 mg ml-1. The alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity, cell membrane potential, and scanning electron microscopy images revealed that CGA treatment disrupted cell structure and cell membrane. Moreover, CGA treatment led to a dose-dependent decrease in crude histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity and gene expression of histidine decarboxylase (hdc). Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that CGA interacted with HDC through hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, in situ investigation confirmed the efficacy of CGA in controlling the growth of M. psychrotolerans and significantly reducing histamine formation in raw tuna. CONCLUSION CGA had good activity in controlling the growth of M. psychrotolerans and histamine formation.

Abstract
Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state bacteria are difficult to detect in the food industry due to their nonculturable nature and their recovery characteristics pose a potential threat to human health. The results of this study indicated that S. aureus was found to enter the VBNC state completely after induced by citral (1 and 2 mg/mL) for 2 h, and after induced by trans-cinnamaldehyde (0.5 and 1 mg/mL) for 1 h and 3 h, respectively. Except for VBNC state cells induced by 2 mg/mL citral, the VBNC state cells induced by the other three conditions (1 mg/mL citral, 0.5 and 1 mg/mL trans-cinnamaldehyde) were able to be resuscitated in TSB media. In the VBNC state cells induced by citral and trans-cinnamaldehyde, the ATP concentration was reduced, the hemolysin-producing ability was significantly decreased, but the intracellular ROS level was elevated. The results of heat and simulated gastric fluid experiments showed different environment resistance on VBNC state cells induced by citral and trans-cinnamaldehyde. In addition, by observing the VBNC state cells showed that irregular folds on the surface, increased electron density inside and vacuoles in the nuclear region. What's more, S. aureus was found to enter the VBNC state completely after induced by meat-based broth containing citral (1 and 2 mg/mL) for 7 h and 5 h, after induced by meat-based broth containing trans-cinnamaldehyde (0.5 and 1 mg/mL) for 8 h and 7 h. In summary, citral and trans-cinnamaldehyde can induce S. aureus into VBNC state and food industry needs to comprehensively evaluate the antibacterial capacity of these two plant-derived antimicrobial agents.

Inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores, single or composite Escherichia coli and native microbiota in isotonic fruit-flavoured sports drinks processed by UV-C light. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 386:110024. [PMID: 36446270 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2022.110024] [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: 07/03/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Pasteurized sports drinks and other fruit-based beverages are susceptible to deterioration due to thermal processing ineffectiveness to inactivate certain spoilage microorganisms, like Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris. This represents a major challenge for the beverage industry. The goals of this study were to: i) investigate the UV-C inactivation (annular thin film unit, actinometrical delivered fluence: 795-1270 mJ/cm2, 10-15 min, 20 °C, 1.8 L/h, Reh = 391-1067, recirculation mode operation) and the evolution during refrigerated storage of A. acidoterrestris ATCC 49025 spores and single or composite Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 in isotonic sports drinks (ISDs) made from orange (orange-ISD, UVT% = 81) or orange-banana-mango-kiwi-strawberry-lemon juices (multi-fruit-ISD, UVT% = 91), compared to a turbid orange-tangerine juice (OT juice, UVT% = 40); ii) assess the effect of pH, °Brix, A254nm, turbidity, colour and particle size of the ISDs and juice on microbial inactivation, iii) evaluate the evolution of native microbiota during cold storage, iv) investigate the Coroller, biphasic, Weibull, and Weibull-plus-tail models' ability to describe microbial inactivation and v) measure 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) formation. The modified biodosimetry method was used to calculate the germicidal UV-C fluences. Heat pasteurization (T-coil, 80 °C/6 min) was evaluated as the control treatment. UV-C was highly effective at inactivating E. coli as 4.1-5.1 and 4.5-5.6 log reductions were determined in the multi-fruit-ISD and orange-ISD, respectively, barely impacted by the background microbiota. No significant differences were recorded for the inactivation of E. coli in the UV-C and T-coil systems. Whereas, a significantly higher inactivation of A. acidoterrestris spores was achieved by UV-C (3.7-4.0 log reductions), compared to the negligible one achieved by the thermal treatment. Even though E. coli inactivation curves were similar in shape, UV-C was less effective when a cocktail of other E. coli strains was present. In comparison to the OT juice, the ISDs' inactivation kinetics were markedly different in shape, with a rapid decrease in population during the first minutes of treatment. The germicidal fluence (Hd biod) corresponding to A. acidoterrestris (19.1 mJ/cm2) was selected as it was higher than the one obtained for E. coli (11.0 mJ/cm2). UV-C induced 2.8- or 1.3 and 2.3- or 0.8 log-reductions of total aerobes or moulds and yeasts in the multi-fruit-ISD and orange-ISD, respectively. Compared to the other models, the Coroller and biphasic models showed a better fit and more accurate parameter estimates. UV-C-induced HMF production was not significant in the ISDs. The current study found that the UV-C treatment was more effective than typical heat pasteurization for inactivating A. acidoterrestris spores in isotonic drinks, following a similar trend for E. coli and native microbiota.

Abstract
The effect of thermal pasteurization (TP), high temperature long time (HTLT), ultra-high temperature instantaneous (UHT), high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and thermosonication (TS) sterilization on the physicochemical, sensory and functional properties of black carrot juice (BCJ) were studied. And for the first time, the comprehensive quality of sterilized BCJ was quantified by mathematical modeling. UHT was the least suitable sterilization method for BCJ resulting from the most severe deterioration in functional properties. TS had adverse effects on sensory and physicochemical properties, but significantly increased the total flavonoids and anthocyanins contents (p < 0.05) and showed the strongest antioxidant activity, making it a nutritional high-value processing method. TP and HHP balanced the improvement of sensory properties and the retention of functional properties, which were the most suitable sterilization methods for BCJ. This study determined the optimal sterilization methods of BCJ, and provided a scientific solution for the screening of high quality processing methods.

Abstract
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Treatment (aPDT) is a non-thermal sterilization technology, which can inactivate common foodborne pathogens. In the present study, photodynamic inactivation on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with different concentrations of curcumin and light dose was evaluated and the mechanisms were also investigated. The results showed that curcumin-based aPDT could inactivate S. aureus cells by 6.9 log CFU/mL in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Moreover, the modified Gompertz model presented a good fit at the inactivation data of S. aureus. Photodynamic treatment caused cell membrane damage as revealed by analyzing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. Leakage of intracellular constituents further indicated that cell membrane permeability was changed. Flow cytometry with double staining demonstrated that cell membrane integrity and the activity of nonspecific esterase were destroyed. Compared with the control group, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels caused by photodynamic treatment significantly increased. Furthermore, curcumin-based aPDT reduced S. aureus by 5 log CFU/mL in juices. The color of the juices was also tested using a Chromatic meter, and it was found that b* values were the most markedly influenced by photodynamic treatment. Overall, curcumin-based aPDT had strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus. This approach has the potential to remove foodborne pathogens from liquid food.

Abstract
Fruit and vegetable juices (FVJ) are rich in nutrients, so they easily breed bacteria, which cause microbial pollution and rapid deterioration of their quality and safety. Sterilization is an important operation in FVJ processing. However, regardless of whether thermal sterilization or non-thermal sterilization is used, the effect and its impact on the overall quality of FVJ are strongly dependent on the processing parameters, microbial species, and FVJ matrix. Therefore, for different types of FVJ, an understanding of the impacts that different sterilization technologies have on the overall quality of the juice is important in designing and optimizing technical parameters to produce value-added products. This article provides an overview of the application of thermal and non-thermal technique in the field of FVJ processing over the past 10 years. The operating principle and effects of various technologies on the inactivation of microorganisms and enzymes, nutritional and functional characteristics, physicochemical properties, and sensory quality of a wide range of FVJ are comprehensively discussed. The application of different combinations of hurdle technology in the field of FVJ sterilization processing are also discussed in detail. Additionally, the advantages, limitations, and current application prospects of different sterilization technologies are summarized.

Antimicrobial mechanism of linalool against Brochothrix thermosphacta and its application on chilled beef. Food Res Int 2022; 157:111407. [PMID: 35761661 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.111407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
This work aimed to explore the antibacterial ability and potential mechanism of linalool against Brochothrix thermosphacta (B. thermosphacta), providing knowledge of the preservation of chilled beef with linalool. The results found that linalool had an encouraging inhibitory effect on B. thermosphacta with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.5 mL/L. Results of FESEM and zeta potential combined with probe labeling confirmed that linalool destroyed the cell structure thereby causing the leakage of intracellular components (AKP, protein, nucleic acid and ion). In addition, linalool caused respiratory disturbance by measuring the key enzyme activities including PK, SDH, MDH and ATPase. Energy limitation also appeared under linalool stress as seen from changes in ATP content (decreased by 56.06% and 69.24% in MIC and 2MIC groups, respectively). The respiratory inhibition rate of linalool to B. thermosphacta was 23.58% and the superposing rate with malonic acid was minimal (35.52%), suggesting that respiratory depression was mainly caused by the TCA cycle. Furthermore, accumulation of ROS and increase in MDA content (increased by 71.17% and 78.03% in MIC and 2MIC groups, respectively) accompanied by decreased activities of detoxification enzymes CAT and POD suggested that oxidative stress contributed to the bactericidal mechanism. Finally, linalool has been shown to effectively inhibit quality deterioration of chilled beef during storage by measuring pH, TVB-N and TVC without affecting sensory acceptability. All these highlight the great promise of using linalool as natural preservative for food industry.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial properties and mechanisms of a high-voltage static electric field (HVEF) in Acinetobacter johnsonii, which were assessed from the perspective of biochemical properties and stress-related genes. The time/voltage-kill assays and growth curves showed that an HVEF decreased the number of bacteria and OD600 values. In addition, HVEF treatment caused the leakage of cell contents (nucleic acids and proteins), increased the electrical conductivity and amounts of reactive oxygen substances (ROS) (16.88 fold), and decreased the activity of Na+ K+-ATPase in A. johnsonii. Moreover, the changes in the expression levels of genes involved in oxidative stress and DNA damage in the treated A. johnsonii cells suggested that HVEF treatment could induce oxidative stress and DNA sub-damage. This study will provide useful information for the development and application of an HVEF in food safety.

Selection of Microbial Targets for Treatments to Preserve Fresh Carrot Juice. BEVERAGES 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/beverages8010017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Fresh carrot juice presents nutritional and organoleptic qualities which have to be preserved. However, it is a fast perishable beverage, and its low-acidic pH promotes the development of foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. This study aims to assess the modification and variability of physicochemical and microbial indicators during storage of carrot juice, and to isolate and select microorganisms to be used as promoters of spoilage to quantify the effect of preservation treatments. To achieve that, 10 batches of carrot Daucus carota cv. Maestro juice were prepared independently, stored up to 14 days at 4 °C and analyzed. Volatile compound composition differed mainly according to the analyzed batch. During storage, an increase of the content of ethanol, ethyl acetate or 2-methoxyphenol, which are produced by different microorganisms, was noticed. Isolation of bacteria revealed Pseudomonas, lactic acid bacteria, and enterobacteria, some of them provoking odor modification of carrot juice at 4 °C. Assays in carrot juice with isolated yeasts and molds showed the ability of Meyerozyma guillermondii to induce texture modification and some isolates, e.g., Pichia guillermondii, resulted in gas production. Selected isolates able to induce spoilage are useful to test preservative treatments of fresh carrot juice under controlled conditions.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a kind of high molecular polymer with antibacterial properties. A copolymer with high bacteriostatic activity can be formed by grafting phenolic acid compounds into the chitosan molecular chain, which can inhibit the growth of dominant spoilage bacteria in aquatic products. The study aimed to investigate the antibacterial effect and mechanism of chitosan-grafted-phenolic acid copolymers on Shewanella putrefaciens (S. putrefaciens). CS-grafted-protocatechuic acid (CS-g-PA) and CS-grafted-gallic acid (CS-g-GA) were attained by EDC/NHS coupling reaction. The antibacterial tests indicated that CS-g-PA and CS-g-GA had the same minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (1.25 mg/mL) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) (5.0 mg/mL) against S. putrefaciens. According to the change trend of growth curve, the growth of S. putrefaciens was significantly restrained under 2MIC graft copolymers (P < 0.05). Moreover, the increment of alkaline phosphatase (AKPase) activity and electrical conductivity demonstrated that the cell wall and membrane permeability of S. putrefaciens were damaged respectively. In addition, the increase of lactate dehydrogenase (LDHase) activity, protein and nucleic acid absorbance and the decrease of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity suggested that the cell membrane was incomplete and poor fluidity. The irregular shape of bacteria and the outflow of intercellular contents were also observed from scanning electron microscope (SEM). The above results manifested a great potential of CS-g-PA and CS-g-GA for use as food preservatives to aquatic products.

Abstract
Non-thermal technologies can maintain fruit and vegetable products quality better than traditional thermal processing. Pulsed light (PL) is a non-thermal method for microbial inactivation (vegetative cells and spores) in fruits and vegetables. The PL treatment involves the application of intense and short-duration pulses of broad spectrum wavelengths ranging from UV to near-infrared (100-1100 nm). This review summarized application of PL technology to control microbial contamination and increasing shelf-life of some fruits and vegetables including apple, blueberries, grape, orange, strawberries, carrot, lettuce, spinach, and tomato. The microbial inactivation in very short treatment times, low energy used by this system, flexibility for solid or liquid samples, few residual compounds and no synthetic chemicals that cause environmental pollution or harm humans, is benefits of PL technique. The efficiency of PL disinfection is closely associated with the input voltage, fluence (energy dose), composition of the emitted light spectrum, number of lamps, the distance between samples and light source, and frequency and number of applied pulses. The PL treatments control pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, so it facilitates the growth and development of the starter microorganisms affecting product quality.

Abstract
Pulsed light (PL) is a polychromatic radiation-based technology, among many other non-thermal processing techniques. The microbiological lethality of the PL technique has been explored in different food matrices along with their associated mechanisms. Pasteurization of fruit juice requires a 5-log cycle reduction in the resistant pathogen in the product. The manufacturers look toward achieving the microbial safety and stability of the juice, while consumers demand high-quality juice. Enzymatic spoilage in fruit juice is also a crucial factor that needs attention. The retailers want the processed juice to be stable, which can be achieved by inactivating the spoilage enzymes and native microflora inside it. The present review argued about the potential of PL technology to produce a microbiologically safe and enzymatically stable fruit juice with a minimal loss in bioactive compounds in the product. Concise information of factors affecting the PL treatment (PLT), primary inactivation mechanism associated with microorganisms, enzymes, the effect of PLT on various quality attributes (microorganisms, spoilage enzymes, bioactive components, sensory properties, color), and shelf life of fruit juices has been put forward. The potential of PL integrated with other non-thermal and mild thermal technologies on the microbial safety and stability of fruit juices has been corroborated. The review also provides suggestions to the readers for designing, modeling, and optimizing the PLT and discusses the use of various primary, secondary kinetic models in detail that have been utilized for different quality parameters in juices. Finally, the challenges and future need associated with PL technology has been summarized.

Abstract
Ultrasound has the potential to be broadly applied in the field of agricultural food processing due to advantages such as environmental friendliness, low energy costs, no need for exogenous additives and ease of operation. High-frequency ultrasound is mainly used in medical diagnosis and in the food industry for the identification of ingredients and production line quality testing, while low-frequency ultrasounds is mainly used for extraction and separation, accelerating chemical reactions, auxiliary microbial fermentation and quality enhancement in food industry. Magnetic fields have many advantages of convenient use, such as non-toxic, nonpolluting and safe. High-intensity pulsed magnetic fields are widely used as a physical non-thermal sterilization technology in food processing, while weak magnetic fields are better at activating microorganisms and promoting their growth. Ultrasound and magnetic fields, due to their positive biological effects, have a wide range of applications in the food processing industry. This paper provides an overview of the research progress and applications of ultrasound and magnetic fields in food processing from the perspectives of their biological effects and mechanisms of action. Additionally, with the development and application of physical field technology, physical fields can now be used to provide significant technical advantages for assisting fermentation. Suitable physical fields can promote the growth of microbial cells, improve mycelial production and increase metabolic activity. Furthermore, the current status of research into the use of ultrasound and magnetic field technologies for assisting the fermentation of rare edible fungi, is discussed.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q0 (CoQ0) has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects; however, the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of CoQ0 against Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium are unknown. Thus, we investigated the bacteriostatic and antibiofilm activities, along with the underlying mechanism, of CoQ0 against S. Typhimurium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CoQ0 against S. enterica serovars Typhimurium was 0.1–0.2 mg/mL (549–1098 µM), and CoQ0 at MIC and 2MIC decreased viable S. Typhimurium counts below detectable limits within 6 and 4 h, respectively. CoQ0 at 20MIC (4 mg/mL) reduced S. Typhimurium on raw chicken by 1.5 log CFU/cm3 within 6 h. CoQ0 effectively disrupted cell membrane integrity and induced morphological changes in the cell, resulting in hyperpolarization, decreased intracellular ATP concentrations, and cellular constituents leakage. Biofilm-associated S. Typhimurium cells were killed by CoQ0 treatment. These findings suggest that CoQ0 could be applied as a natural antibacterial substance for use against S. Typhimurium by the food industry.

Abstract
In this study, linalool, one of the principal components of essential oils, was used as an antibacterial agent to investigate the antibacterial activity and mechanism of linalool against Pseudomonas fluorescens. The reduction in membrane potential (MP), leakage of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and the release of macromolecules, including DNA, RNA and protein confirmed that damage to cell wall membrane structure and leakage of cytoplasmic contents were due to the linalool treatment. Furthermore, the decrease of enzyme activity, including the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), pyruvate kinase (PK), and ATPase indicated that linalool could lead to metabolic dysfunction and inhibit energy synthesis. In addition, the activity of respiratory chain dehydrogenase and metabolic activity of respiration indicated that linalool inhibits cellular respiration. These results revealed that linalool had strong antibacterial activity against P. fluorescens via membrane damage, bacterial metabolic and oxidative respiratory perturbations, interfering in cellular functions and even causing cell death. It was suggested that linalool may be a new potential source as food antiseptics in food systems.

Abstract
Recently, natural essential oils have been extensively studied for anti-bacterial application in foods due to their safety and high biological activity. Herein, Litsea cubeba essential oil (LC-EO) was applied as a natural anti-bacterial agent for exploring its anti-bacterial mechanism against Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157:H7). The LC-EO could effectively inhibit the growth of EHEC O157:H7 and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 0.5 mg/mL. In the study of anti-bacterial mechanism, the LC-EO was proved with good membrane penetration ability, which could destroy bacterial cell structure and disorder membrane permeability, thereby causing the leakage of intracellular organic matters. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of LC-EO on physiological metabolism of EHEC O157:H7, including respiratory metabolism, enzyme activity, the replication of nucleic acid and the transcription level of main virulence genes (stx1, stx2, ehxA, eae), were also demonstrated in this study. Specially, the possible action mechanism of different components of LC-EO on bacterial genetic material was revealed deeply on molecular level by the molecular docking technology. Finally, the results of application evaluation indicated that the addition of LC-EO at MIC in different vegetable juices could maintain anti-bacterial rate above 99.9% for 4 days without remarkable influence on foods sensory quality. The information in this study provides the necessary theoretical foundation for extending the application of LC-EO in food preservation.

Abstract
Ultrasonic sterilization (US), as a promising non-thermal sterilization method, exhibits unique superiorities than traditional sterilization methods. In this study, the inactivation mechanism of E. coli O157:H7 under US was investigated in cucumber and bitter gourd vegetable juices. Results revealed that the US treatment showed good antibacterial ability in countering E. coli O157:H7. Through determinations of conductivity and β-galactosidase activity, significant augmentation in membrane permeability of the bacteria was confirmed after the US treatment. The morphologies of the US treated E. coli O157:H7 demonstrated that the integrity of the cell membrane was disrupted by US treatment. SDS-PAGE and LSCM data further proved the disruptive action of US, leading to the leakage of proteins and DNA through the breakage on cell membrane. The decrease of metabolic-related enzyme activity was verified through investigation of bacterial metabolism. The antibacterial mechanism analysis indicated that the US can generate free radicals which resulted in the rise of intracellular oxidative stress, attenuation of energy metabolism and inhibition of hexose monophosphate pathway. As the application verification, the US treatment can cause the deprivation of E. coli O157:H7 cell viability in vegetable juices without obvious impact on the sensory quality.
