Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation has been considered to be an important determinant of its pathogenicity in most infections. The antibiofilm activity of trans-cinnamaldehyde (TC) against P. aeruginosa was investigated in this study. Results demonstrated that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of TC against P. aeruginosa was 0.8 mg/mL, and subinhibitory concentrations (SICs) was 0.2 mg/mL and below. Crystal violet staining showed that TC at 0.05-0.2 mg/mL reduced biofilm biomass in 48 h in a concentration-dependent mode. The formation area of TC-treated biofilms was significantly declined (p < 0.01) on the glass slides observed by light microscopy. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy further demonstrated that TC destroyed the biofilm morphology and structure. Confocal laser scanning microscopic observed the dispersion of biofilms and the reduction of exopolysaccharides after TC treatment stained with concanavalin A (Con-A)-fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate and Hoechst 33258. Meanwhile, TC caused a significant decrease (p < 0.01) in the component of polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA in extracellular polymeric substance. The swimming and swarming motility and quorum sensing of P. aeruginosa was also found to be significantly inhibited (p < 0.01) by TC at SICs. Furthermore, SICs of TC repressed the several genes transcription associated with biofilm formation as determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Overall, our findings suggest that TC could be applied as natural and safe antibiofilm agent to inhibit the biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa.

J Food Sci 2022; 87:5042-5053. [PMID: 36181370 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16346] [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: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Meat and poultry are prone to contamination with foodborne pathogens sourced from the livestock or introduced from the processing environments. In this study, for retention of meat quality while assuring microbial food safety, mild levels of high hydrostatic pressure were hurdled with food-grade additives (i.e., allyl isothiocyanate [AITC] and acetic acid [AA], functioned as antimicrobials) to inactivate pathogenic Escherichia coli in ground chicken. The reductions of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O157:H7 and uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) were described as a function of high hydrostatic pressure (200-350 MPa), process-holding time (10-25 min), AITC concentration (0.05-0.20% w/w), and AA concentration (0.10--0.30% w/w) using a full factorial design. The antimicrobials had little influence on bacterial inactivation without high pressure. Without the antimicrobials, a high-pressure treatment at 300 MPa and 4°C for 15 min reduced E. coli O157:H7 and UPEC by 1.52 and 2.52 log, respectively. A 5-log reduction was achieved when AITC and AA were combined with high pressure, indicating a synergistic effect. The survivors were further reduced to below the detection limit of 1 log CFU/g after subsequent storage tests at 4 and 10°C for 10 days. The STEC O157:H7 was found slightly more resistant than UPEC in our test matrix. The developed models showed good fits with experimental data (R2 > 0.95 for linear models; Pr > F (<0.0001) for dimensionless nonlinear models); which may help processors find/optimize the processing parameters to achieve target foodborne pathogens reduction for food safety requirement. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Models were developed to predict the inactivation of pathogenic Escherichia coli in ground chicken by high-pressure processing (HPP) in combination with natural antimicrobial compounds. These models can be used to estimate/determine the HPP operation parameters and antimicrobial usage levels (i.e., allyl isothiocyanate and acetic acid) needed to achieve a specific microbial log reduction within the selected factor ranges. The operation parameters and clean-label ingredients are of interest in the food industry, which may benefit from the application of the models in achieving microbial safety, process optimization, and operation cost reduction.

Abstract
The last two decades saw a steady increase of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) used for treatment of foods. Although the science of biomaterials exposed to high pressure started more than a century ago, there still seem to be a number of unanswered questions regarding safety of foods processed using HHP. This review gives an overview on historical development and fundamental aspects of HHP, as well as on potential risks associated with HHP food applications based on available literature. Beside the combination of pressure and temperature, as major factors impacting inactivation of vegetative bacterial cells, bacterial endospores, viruses, and parasites, factors, such as food matrix, water content, presence of dissolved substances, and pH value, also have significant influence on their inactivation by pressure. As a result, pressure treatment of foods should be considered for specific food groups and in accordance with their specific chemical and physical properties. The pressure necessary for inactivation of viruses is in many instances slightly lower than that for vegetative bacterial cells; however, data for food relevant human virus types are missing due to the lack of methods for determining their infectivity. Parasites can be inactivated by comparatively lower pressure than vegetative bacterial cells. The degrees to which chemical reactions progress under pressure treatments are different to those of conventional thermal processes, for example, HHP leads to lower amounts of acrylamide and furan. Additionally, the formation of new unknown or unexpected substances has not yet been observed. To date, no safety-relevant chemical changes have been described for foods treated by HHP. Based on existing sensitization to non-HHP-treated food, the allergenic potential of HHP-treated food is more likely to be equivalent to untreated food. Initial findings on changes in packaging materials under HHP have not yet been adequately supported by scientific data.
