Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 423:110829. [PMID: 39047617 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110829] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BAM) was identified as the predominant spoilage bacteria in instant wet noodles (IWNs). The utilization of industrial acid treatment as a long shelf-life strategy resulted in reduced consumer acceptance due to the acidic taste of the products. This study proposed a processing strategy that integrated spore germination (SG) and lactic acid (LA) treatment to effectively reduce the spore survival rate and extend the shelf life of IWNs. L-histidine, d-glucose, and sodium chloride were highly efficient and safe germinants for BAM spores. In IWNs, compound germinants (1.0 % L-histidine, 0.5 % d-glucose, and 1.0 % sodium chloride) boosted the SG rate by 3.61 times. With synergistic LA treatment, the spore lethality increased by 34.41 % -41.68 %. Under the SG and reduced acid-heat conditions of pH 2.30-2.50, the mortality of spores could reach 92.00 %-93.17 %, which was 14.11 %-15.28 % higher than the industrial acid-heat condition of pH 2.10. DPA, ATP, and membrane potential showed that germinants reduced the spore membrane permeability and promoted the occurrence of spore membrane damage under acid-heat conditions. Moreover, this strategy significantly extended the shelf-life of IWNs by 3.00-5.50 times and controlled the pH ≥ 5.50. Additionally, it improved color, texture, and overall sensory evaluation. Accordingly, this strategy solved the contradiction between the long shelf-life of IWNs and the unacceptable acidification in industrial production.

Abstract
Bacillus cereus causes food poisoning by producing toxins that cause diarrhea and vomiting and, in severe cases, endocarditis, meningitis, and other diseases. It also tends to form biofilms and spores that lead to contamination of the food production environment. Citral is a potent natural antibacterial agent, but its antibacterial activity against B. cereus has not been extensively studied. In this study, we first determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum bactericidal concentrations, growth curves, killing effect in different media, membrane potential, intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), reactive oxygen species levels, and morphology of vegetative cells, followed by germination rate, morphology, germination state of spores, and finally biofilm clearance effect. The results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum bactericidal concentrations of citral against bacteria ranged from 100 to 800 μg/mL. The lag phase of bacteria was effectively prolonged by citral, and the growth rate of bacteria was slowed down. Bacteria in Luria-Bertani broth were reduced to below the detection limit by citral at 800 μg/mL within 0.5 h. Bacteria in rice were reduced to 3 log CFU/g by citral at 4000 μg/mL within 0.5 h. After treatment with citral, intracellular ATP concentration was reduced, membrane potential was altered, intracellular reactive oxygen species concentration was increased, and normal cell morphology was altered. After treatment with citral at 400 μg/mL, spore germination rate was reduced to 16.71%, spore morphology was affected, and spore germination state was altered. It also had a good effect on biofilm removal. The present study showed that citral had good bacteriostatic activity against B. cereus vegetative cells and its spores and also had a good clearance effect on its biofilm. Citral has the potential to be used as a bacteriostatic substance for the control of B. cereus in food industry production.

Abstract
Increasing the number of resistant bacteria resistant to treatment is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. These bacteria are created in wounds and injuries and can be transferred through hospital equipment. Various attempts have been made to treat these bacteria in recent years, such as using different drugs and new sterilization methods. However, some bacteria resist drugs, and other traditional methods cannot destroy them. In the meantime, various studies have shown that cold atmospheric plasma can kill these bacteria through different mechanisms, making cold plasma a promising tool to deactivate bacteria. This new technology can be effectively used in the food industry because it has the potential to inactivate microorganisms such as spores and microbial toxins and increase the wettability and printability of polymers to pack fresh and dried food. It can also increase the shelf life of food without leaving any residue or chemical effluent. This paper investigates cold plasma's potential, advantages, and disadvantages in the food industry and sterilization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clostridium perfringens is a well-known spore-forming bacterium that can resist the environment. A mixture of volatile fatty acids or thermal treatments can interact with these bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different volatile fatty acid concentrations and moderate heat treatment on Clostridium perfringens sporulation. METHODS A pure culture of Clostridium perfringens type A in Duncan Strong medium was treated with a mixture of volatile fatty acids at several concentrations. A thermal treatment was also tested. To evaluate the effects, a double staining method was employed, and treatments on Clostridium perfringens were analysed by flow cytometry. RESULTS Moderate heat treatment destroyed vegetative forms but had no effect on sporulating forms. Volatile fatty acids combined with moderate heat treatment inhibited Clostridium perfringens sporulation. CONCLUSIONS The use of flow cytometry as an original method for evaluating the treatment of Clostridium perfringens is of interest because of its simplicity, short time to obtain results, and the level of information provided on the microbial population (impact on metabolism). A combination of mild treatments (moderate heat treatment + volatile fatty acids) to decrease the Clostridium perfringens concentration when these bacteria sporulate is a very promising finding for inhibiting Clostridium perfringens propagation.

Abstract
Combining High-pressure Thermal Treatment (HPTT) and Potassium Sorbate (PS) may have a stronger spore inactivation effect. Spores of Bacillus subtilis were subjected to HPTT at 600 MPa-65 °C/75 °C and a combination of HPTT and PS of 0.1% and 0.2% concentrations. After these treatments, different procedures and techniques were employed to investigate the spore's inactivation. The results revealed that 4.92 ± 0.05 log spores were inactivated after treatment at 600 MPa-75 °C, while 5.97 ± 0.09 log spores were inactivated when the HPTT treatment was combined with 0.2% PS. Changes in permeability of the spore's inner membrane were characterized by OD600 value and release rates of nucleic acids, protein, and dipicolinic acid (DPA). Compared with HPTT treatment at 600 MPa-75 °C, the OD600 value of spores decreased further by about 50% after treatment with a combination of HPTT and 0.2% PS. Additionally, the combined treatments resulted in a significant increase in the OD260 and OD280 values, as well as the DPA release. The spore size analysis indicated a significant decrease in the size of spores treated with a combination of HPTT at 600 MPa-75 °C and PS of 0.2% concentration. Furthermore, the flow cytometry analysis and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis indicated that the inner membrane damage of spores was higher after combined treatments than that after HPTT treatment alone. A significant reduction was also found in the Na+/K+-ATPase activity after the combined treatments. Also, the FTIR analysis revealed that the combined treatments resulted in significant adverse changes in the spores' inner membrane, cell wall, cortex, and nucleic acid. Therefore, the combination of HPTT and PS has a stronger inactivation effect and can be suggested as a promising strategy for the inactivation of Bacillus subtilis spores.

Abstract
Tofu is nutritious, easy to make, and popular among consumers. At present, traditional tofu production has gradually become perfect, but there are still shortcomings, such as long soaking time, serious waste of water resources, and the inability to realize orders for production at any time. Moreover, tofu production standards have not yet been clearly defined, with large differences in quality between them, which is not conducive to industrialized and large-scale production. Ultrasound has become a promising green processing technology with advantages, such as high extraction rate, short processing time, and ease of operation. This review focused on the challenges associated with traditional tofu production during soaking, grinding, and boiling soybeans. Moreover, the advantages of ultrasonic processing over traditional processing like increasing nutrient content, improving gel properties, and inhibiting the activity of microorganisms were explained. Furthermore, the quantification of acoustic fields by real-time monitoring technology was introduced to construct the theoretical correlation between ultrasonic treatments and tofu processing. It was concluded that ultrasonic treatment improved the functional properties of soybean protein, such as solubility, emulsifying properties, foamability, rheological properties, gel strength, and thermal stability. Therefore, the application of ultrasonic technology to traditional tofu processing to optimize industrial parameters is promising.

Abstract
Bacillus cereus spore is one of the most easily contaminated bacterial spores in low-water activity foods such as black pepper. Atmospheric-pressure plasma jet (APPJ) has emerged as an emerging and promising method for microbial inactivation in food processing. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of APPJ in inactivating spores under various treatment parameters and to examine the resulting alterations in spore structures and internal membrane properties. Meanwhile, the practical application of APPJ for spore inactivation in black pepper was also evaluated. The results indicated that air-APPJ had superior spore inactivation capability compared to N2 and O2-APPJ. After 20 min of APPJ treatment (50 L/min, 800 W, and 10 cm), the reduction in spore count (>2 log CFU/g) was significantly greater than that achieved by heat treatment (80℃). The damage of inner membranes was considered as the major reason of the dried spore inactivation by APPJ treatment. Moreover, it achieved a reduction in spore count of > 1 log CFU/g on inoculated black pepper without significantly affecting its color and flavor. Although the antioxidant activity of black pepper was slightly reduced, the overall quality of the product was not considerably affected by plasma treatment. This study concluded that APPJ is an effective technique for spore inactivation, offering promising potential for application in the decontamination of low-water activity foods.

Abstract
The quest for bacterial survival is exemplified by spores formed by some Firmicutes members. They turn up everywhere one looks, and their ubiquity reflects adaptations to the stresses bacteria face. Spores are impactful in public health, food safety, and biowarfare. Heat resistance is the hallmark of spores and is countered principally by a mineralized gel-like protoplast, termed the spore core, with reduced water which minimizes macromolecular movement/denaturation/aggregation. Dry heat, however, introduces mutations into spore DNA. Spores have countermeasures to extreme conditions that are multifactorial, but the fact that spore DNA is in a crystalline-like nucleoid in the spore core, likely due to DNA saturation with small acid-soluble spore proteins (SASPs), suggests that reduced macromolecular motion is also critical in spore dry heat resistance. SASPs are also central in the radiation resistance characteristic of spores, where the contributions of four spore features-SASP; Ca2+, with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (CaDPA); photoproduct lyase; and low water content-minimize DNA damage. Notably, the spore environment steers UV photochemistry toward a product that germinated spores can repair without significant mutagenesis. This resistance extends to chemicals and macromolecules that could damage spores. Macromolecules are excluded by the spore coat which impedes the passage of moieties of ≥10 kDa. Additionally, damaging chemicals may be degraded or neutralized by coat enzymes/proteins. However, the principal protective mechanism here is the inner membrane, a compressed structure lacking lipid fluidity and presenting a barrier to the diffusion of chemicals into the spore core; SASP saturation of DNA also protects against genotoxic chemicals. Spores are also resistant to other stresses, including high pressure and abrasion. Regardless, overarching mechanisms associated with resistance seem to revolve around reduced molecular motion, a fine balance between rigidity and flexibility, and perhaps efficient repair.

Abstract
Waterborne pathogens have the risk of spreading waterborne diseases and even pandemics. Some Gram-positive bacteria can form endospores, the hardiest known life form that can withstand heat, radiation, and chemicals. Electrochemical inactivation may offer a promising solution, but is hindered by low inactivation efficiencies resulting from limitation of electrode/endospores interaction in terms of electrochemical reaction selectivity and mass transfer. Herein, these issues were addressed through modifying selectivity of active species formation using electroactive ceramic membrane with high oxygen evolution potential, improving mass transfer property by flow-through operation. In this way, inactivation (6.0-log) of Bacillus atrophaeus endospores was achieved. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrated synergistic inactivation to occur through fragmentation of coat via interfacial electron transfer and electro-produced transient radicals (•OH primarily, •Cl and Cl2•- secondarily), thereby increasing cell permeability to facilitate penetration of electro-produced persistent active chlorine for subsequent rupture of intracellular structures. Numbering-up electrode module strategy was proposed to scale up the system, achieving average 5.3-log inactivation of pathogenic Bacillus anthracis endospores for 30 days. This study demonstrates a proof-of-concept manner for effective inactivation of waterborne bacterial endospores, which may provide an appealing strategy for wide-range applications like water disinfection, bio-safety control and defense against biological warfare.

Inactivation of Bacillus cereus endospores on black pepper by pulsed superheated steam system. Food Res Int 2023; 167:112649.

Abstract
In this study, a superheated steam (SHS) system was constructed to inactivate Bacillus cereus endospores on the surface of black pepper, and continuous and pulsed treatment was applied to compare sporicidal effects. Additionally, inactivation mechanisms were analyzed to investigate the differences between pulsed and continuous SHS treatments. SHS at 250 °C and 300 °C for 1 min achieved more than a 3 log reduction, whereas SHS at 200 °C for 1 min achieved less than 2 log reduction in the number of endospores. In addition, higher microbicidal effects were confirmed with pulsed SHS treatment with a shorter duty ratio. To elucidate the inactivation mechanisms, inner membrane damage (dipicolinic acid release), intracellular enzyme activities, and DNA integrity were measured after 300 °C SHS pulsed or continuous treatments. After pulsed SHS treatment for up to 20 s, intracellular enzymes were inactivated more rapidly than after continuous treatment, and more DPA was released after 40 s of treatment, indicating that enzyme inactivation occurred prior to inner membrane damage, and pulsed treatment accelerated this mode of action. DNA integrity was significantly lower after 60 s of pulsed or continuous treatment; however, there was no difference in between pulsed and continuous treatments.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in using green technologies in the food industry. As a green processing technique, ultrasound has a great potential to be applied in many food applications. In this review, the basic mechanism of ultrasound processing technology has been discussed. Then, ultrasound technology was reviewed from the application of assisted food processing methods, such as assisted gelation, assisted freezing and thawing, assisted crystallization, and other assisted applications. Moreover, ultrasound was reviewed from the aspect of structure and property modification technology, such as modification of polysaccharides and fats. Furthermore, ultrasound was reviewed to facilitate beneficial food reactions, such as glycosylation, enzymatic cross-linking, protein hydrolyzation, fermentation, and marination. After that, ultrasound applications in the food safety sector were reviewed from the aspect of the inactivation of microbes, degradation of pesticides, and toxins, as well inactivation of some enzymes. Finally, the applications of ultrasound technology in food waste disposal and environmental protection were reviewed. Thus, some sonoprocessing technologies can be recommended for the use in the food industry on a large scale. However, there is still a need for funding research and development projects to develop more efficient ultrasound devices.

Food Res Int 2023; 163:112185.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect and mechanism of cinnamaldehyde on Bacillus cereus spores in ready-to-eat beef. The colour difference and texture of the ready-to-eat beef supplemented with cinnamaldehyde did not differ greatly from the colour and texture of the blank beef. However, cinnamaldehyde has an effective antibacterial effect on the total number of bacterial colonies and B. cereus spores in ready-to-eat beef. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that the cell membrane of B. cereus was disrupted by cinnamaldehyde, leading to leakage of intracellular components. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) indicated that the B. cereus spore resistance regulation system (sigB, sigW, rsbW, rsbV, yfkM and yflT) and phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (PTS) (ptsH, ptsI and ptsG) respond positively to cinnamaldehyde in an adverse environment. Intracellular disorders due to damage to the cell membrane involve some transporters (copA, opuBA and opuD) and some oxidative stress systems (ywrO, scdA and katE) in the regulation of the body. However, downregulation of K+ transport channels (kdpD and kdpB), osmotic pressure regulation (opuE) and some oxidative stress (norR and srrA)-related genes may accelerate spore apoptosis. In addition, cinnamaldehyde also effectively inhibits the spore germination-related genes (smc, mreB and gerE). This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanism of the antibacterial effect of cinnamaldehyde on B. cereus spores in ready-to-eat beef.

Abstract
Clostridium perfringens is a major pathogen causing foodborne illnesses. In this experiment, the inactivation effects of heat and lactic acid (LA) treatments on C. perfringens spores was investigated. Heat treatment (80 °C, 90 °C and 100 °C), LA (0.5% and 1%), and combined LA and heat treatments for 30 and 60 min were performed. Residual spore counts showed that the count of C. perfringens spores was below the detection limit within 30 min of treatment with 1% LA and heat treatment at 90 °C. Scanning electron microscopy and confocal scanning laser microscopy results showed that the surface morphology of the spores was severely disrupted by the co-treatment. The particle size of the spores was reduced to 202 nm and the zeta potential to −3.66 mv. The inner core of the spores was disrupted and the co-treatment resulted in the release of 77% of the nuclear contents 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid. In addition, the hydrophobicity of spores was as low as 11% after co-treatment with LA relative to the control, indicating that the outer layer of spores was severely disrupted. Thus, synergistic heating and LA treatment were effective in inactivating C. perfringens spores.

Abstract
The majority of acidic fruits are perishable owing to their high-water activity, which promotes microbial activity, thus exhibiting metabolic functions that cause spoilage. Along with sanitary practices, several treatments are used during processing and/or storage to inhibit the development of undesirable bacteria. To overcome the challenges caused by mild heat treatment, juice manufacturers have recently increased their involvement in developing novel non-thermal processing procedures. Ultrasonication alone or in combination with other hurdle technologies may be used to pasteurize processed fruit juices. Multifrequency ultrasound has gained popularity due to the fact that mono-frequency ultrasound has less impact on bacterial inactivation and bioactive compound enhancement of fruit juice. Here, we present and discuss the fundamental information and technological knowledge of how spoilage bacteria, specifically Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, assemble resistant spores and inactivate and germinate dormant spores in response to nutrient germinants and physical treatments such as heat and ultrasound. To the authors' knowledge, no prior review of ultrasonic inactivation and germination of A. acidoterrestris in fruit juice exists. Therefore, this article aims to provide a review of previously published research on the inactivation and germination of A. acidoterrestris in fruit juice by ultrasound and heat.

Mechanism insights into bacterial sporulation at natural sphalerite interface with and without light irradiation: The suppressing role in bacterial sporulation by photocatalysis. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 168:107460.

Abstract
Unveiling the mechanisms of bacterial sporulation at natural mineral interfaces is crucial to fully understand the interactions of mineral with microorganism in aquatic environment. In this study, the bacterial sporulation mechanisms of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) at natural sphalerite (NS) interface with and without light irradiation were systematically investigated for the first time. Under dark condition, NS was found to inactivate vegetative cells of B. subtilis and promote their sporulation simultaneously. The released Zn2+ from NS was mainly responsible for the bacterial inactivation and sporulation. With light irradiation, the photocatalytic effect from NS could increase the bacterial inactivation efficiency, while the bacterial sporulation efficiency was decreased from 8.1 % to 4.5 %. The photo-generated H2O2 and O2- played the major roles in enhancing bacterial inactivation and suppressing bacterial sporulation process. The intracellular synthesis of dipicolinic acid (DPA) as biomarker for sporulation was promoted by NS in dark, which was suppressed by the photocatalytic effect of NS with light irradiation. The transformation process from vegetative cells to spores was monitored by both 3D-fluerecence EEM and SEM observations. Compared with the NS alone system, the NS/light combined system induced higher level of intracellular ROSs, up-regulated antioxidant enzyme activity and decreased cell metabolism activity, which eventually led to enhanced inactivation of vegetative cells and suppressed bacterial sporulation. These results not only provide in-depth understanding about bacterial sporulation as a new mode of sub-lethal stress response at NS interface, but also shed lights on putting forward suitable strategies for controlling spore-producing bacteria by suppressing their sporulation during water disinfection.

Abstract
Background Natural products represent important sources of antimicrobial compounds. Propolis and compounds from essential oils comprise good examples of such substances because of their inhibitory effects on bacterial spores, including bee pathogens. Methods Ethanol extracts of propolis (EEP) from Apis mellifera were prepared using different methods: double ultrasonication, double maceration and maceration associated with ultrasonication. Together with the antimicrobial peptides nisin and melittin, and compounds present in the essential oils of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), assays were carried out on one Bacillus subtilis isolate and Paenibacillus alvei (ATCC 6344) against vegetative and sporulated forms, using the resazurin microtiter assay. Synergism with all the antimicrobials in association with tetracycline was verified by the time-kill curve method. Potassium and phosphate efflux, release of proteins and nucleic acids were investigated. Results EEPs showed the same MIC, 156.25 µg/mL against B. subtilis and 78.12 µg/mL against P. alvei. The peptides showed better activities against B. subtilis (MIC of 12 µg/mL for melittin and 37.50 µg/mL for nisin). Antimicrobials showed similar inhibitory effects, but cinnamaldehyde (39.06 µg/mL) showed the best action against P. alvei. Melittin and nisin showed the greatest capacity to reduce spores, regarding B. subtilis there was a 100% reduction at 6.25 and 0.78 µg/mL, respectively. Concerning P. alvei, the reduction was 93 and 98% at concentrations of 80 µg/mL of melittin and 15 µg/mL of nisin. EEPs showed the highest effects on the protein release against B. subtilis and P. alvei. Nucleic acid release, phosphate and potassium efflux assays indicated bacterial cell membrane damage. Synergism between antimicrobials and tetracycline was demonstrated against both bacteria. Conclusion All antimicrobials tested showed antibacterial activities against vegetative and sporulated forms of P. alvei and B. subtilis, especially nisin and melittin. Synergism with tetracycline and damage on bacterial cell membrane also occurred.

Abstract
Food safety and food waste have always been hot topics of discussion in recent years. However, the infection of human pathogenic bacteria and the waste of food resources caused by microbial-contaminated food remains common. Although traditional sterilization technology has been very mature, it causes changes in food flavor and excessive energy consumption to a certain extent. Moreover, the widespread bacterial resistance has also sounded a warning for researchers and finding a new alternative to antibiotics is urgently needed. The application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in medical treatment has aroused the interest of researchers. It provides ideas for new food sterilization technology. As a new non-thermal sterilization technology, sonodynamic sterilization technology has strong penetration, safety, less residue and by-products, and will less change the quality of the food itself. Therefore, sonodynamic sterilization technology has great potential applied in food sterilization technology. This review describes the concept of sonodynamic sterilization technology, the sterilization mechanism of sonodynamic sterilization and the inactivation mechanism of various pathogens, the classification and application of sonosensitizers, and the ultrasonic technology in sonodynamic sterilization in the application over the recent years. It provides a scientific reference for the application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in the field of food sterilization.

Abstract
AbstractChanging consumers’ taste for chemical and thermally processed food and preference for perceived healthier minimally processed alternatives is a challenge to food industry. At present, several technologies have found usefulness as choice methods for ensuring that processed food remains unaltered while guaranteeing maximum safety and protection of consumers. However, the effectiveness of most green technology is limited due to the formation of resistant spores by certain foodborne microorganisms and the production of toxins. Cold plasma, a recent technology, has shown commendable superiority at both spore inactivation and enzymes and toxin deactivation. However, the exact mechanism behind the efficiency of cold plasma has remained unclear. In order to further optimize and apply cold plasma treatment in food processing, it is crucial to understand these mechanisms and possible factors that might limit or enhance their effectiveness and outcomes. As a novel non-thermal technology, cold plasma has emerged as a means to ensure the microbiological safety of food. Furthermore, this review presents the different design configurations for cold plasma applications, analysis the mechanisms of microbial spore and biofilm inactivation, and examines the impact of cold plasma on food compositional, organoleptic, and nutritional quality.

Abstract
The effects of thermosonication processing (TS, 90 °C, ultrasound powers of 200, 400, and 600 W) on the quality parameters of Jamun fruit dairy dessert compared to conventional heating processing (high-temperature short time, (HTST), 90 °C/20 s) were evaluated. Microbiological inactivation and stability, rheological parameters, physical properties, volatile and fatty acid profiles, and bioactive compounds were assessed. TS provided more significant microbial inactivation (1 log CFU mL-1) and higher microbial stability during storage (21 days) than HTST, with 3, 2, and 2.8 log CFU mL-1 lower counts for yeasts and molds, aerobic mesophilic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria, respectively. In addition, TS-treated samples showed higher anti-hypertensive (>39%), antioxidant (>33%), and anti-diabetic (>27%) activities, a higher concentration of phenolic compounds (>22%), preservation of anthocyanins, and better digestibility due to the smaller fat droplet size (observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy). Furthermore, lower TS powers (200 W) improved the fatty acid (higher monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid contents, 52.78 and 132.24%) and volatile (higher number of terpenes, n = 5) profiles and decreased the atherogenic index. On the other hand, higher TS powers (600 W) maintained the rheological parameters of the control product and contributed more significantly to the functional properties of the products (antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, and anti-diabetic). In conclusion, TS proved to be efficient in treating Jamun fruit dairy dessert, opening space for new studies to define process parameters and expand TS application in other food matrices.

Sporicidal mechanism of the combination of ortho-phthalaldehyde and benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride as a disinfectant against the Bacillus subtilis spores. Braz J Microbiol 2022; 53:547-556.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the combination disinfectant, Ortho-phthalaldehyde and benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (ODB), can effectively kill a variety of microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. To observe the sporicidal ability and mechanism of ODB for spores, Bacillus subtilis spores were used as the research object in this experiment. TEM images revealed that ODB destroyed the integrity of the coat, cortex, and inner membrane of the spores after 0.5-h treatment, and the nuclear material was also broken and exuded after 4-h treatment. The broken structure led to the release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) in large amount. The results show that B. subtilis spores can be effetely killed by ODB through destroying the structure of the spores.

Abstract
The rational design of high antibacterial efficiency are urgently needed as the occurrence of drug-resistance issues. Hence, Ni/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite (Ni/rGO) with different amounts of oxygen vacancies were fabricated for efficient disinfection. The optimized Ni/rGO (A100) exhibited highly effective inactivation efficacy of 99.6% and 99.5% against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis within 8 min near-infrared (NIR) irradiation through the synergistic effects of photothermal therapy and oxidative damage, which were much higher than single treatment. The A100 nanocomposite achieved an extraordinary photothermal conversion efficiency (35.78%) under the 808 nm irradiation for enhanced photothermal hyperthermia, thereby destroying the cell membrane and accelerating the GSH depletion. The radical scavenger experiment confirmed that •O2- and •OH play the chief role in photodisinfection reaction. Besides, A100 could exert significant damage on the ATP synthesis. The excellent photothermal performance and photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the appropriate oxygen vacancy density, which improves the absorption of NIR light and facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Besides, the higher NiO content of A100 contributed to improving the photocatalytic effect. Our work demonstrated a promising strategy for efficient water pollution purification caused by pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
High pressure processing (HPP) is a promising non-thermal processing method for food production. However, extremely high pressure and temperature are often required to achieve spores inactivation and commercial sterilization using HPP. In this study, the combined treatment of HPP, moderate temperature, and peptidoglycan fragments (PGF) for spore inactivation was investigated. The combined treatment of 200 MPa and 1 mg/mL PGF at 80 °C for 20 min resulted in 8.6 log inactivation of Bacillus subtilis 168 and more than 5 log reductions of Clostridium sporogenes PA3679 spores, respectively. A strong synergistic effect on spore inactivation among HPP, PGF, and temperature was observed. By comparing the effect of the treatment on the fluidity of the inner membrane and structural change of spores using fluorescence assay, a probable inactivation mechanism was proposed. It was concluded that the spores were firstly triggered to enter the Stage I of the germination process by HPP and PGF, and then immediately inactivated by the mild heat. This novel processing method could be an alternative to ensure commercial sterilization in the food industry.

Abstract
Sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT), which relies on a combination of low-intensity ultrasound and chemotherapeutic agents termed sonosensitizers, has been explored as a promising alternative for microbial inactivation. Such treatment has superior penetration ability, high target specificity, and can overcome resistance conferred by the local microenvironment. Taken of these advantages, SACT has been endowed with an extensive application prospect in the past decade and attracted more and more attention. This review focusses on the current understanding of the mechanism of SACT, the interaction of sonodynamic action on different microbes, the factors affecting the efficacy of SACT, discusses the findings of recent works on SACT, and explores further prospects for SACT. Thus, a better understanding of sonodynamic killing facilitates the scientific community and industry personnel to establish a novel strategy to combat microbial burden.

Abstract
Inactivation of bacterial spores is a key objective for developing novel food preservation technologies. In this work, the removal properties of filtering materials based on silica microparticles functionalized with essential oil components (EOCs) (carvacrol, eugenol, thymol, and vanillin) against Bacillus subtilis, a spore-forming bacterium, in two liquid matrices were investigated. The viability of vegetative cells and spores after treatment was also evaluated. The results exhibited marked removal effectiveness against B. subtilis vegetative cells and spores after filtration with the different silica supports coated with EOCs in either sterile water or nutrient broth, with reductions of 3.2 to 4.9 log units and 3.7 to 5.0 log units for vegetative cells and spores, respectively. The fluorescent viability images revealed the poor viability of the treated B. subtilis vegetative cells and spores due to damage to the cell envelope when coming into contact with the immobilized antimicrobials. The culture counts results revealed the great inhibitory capacity of the EOC-functionalized silica microparticles against B. subtilis vegetative cells and spores after a single filtration. Hence, the present work suggests the feasibility of using EOC-functionalized supports as filtering aids to enhance the microbial quality of liquid matrices with spore-forming microorganisms. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The developed antimicrobial-coated filters have shown remarkable removal properties against an important spore-forming bacterium in food industry. These filters may be used as a potential sterilization technique for preservation of different beverages alone or in combination with other mild-thermal or nonthermal techniques.

Abstract
The effect of ultrasound treatment (100 W, 30 kHz; 50 and 100% amplitudes) on inactivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Byssochlamys fulva in pomegranate juice and shelf life of the juice during storage at different temperatures (5, 15 and 30 °C) for 30 days was modeled using predictive and thermodynamics models. The Baranyi and square root type models were implemented to determine the growth rate of microorganisms. It was predicted that the minimum growth temperature (Tmin) of B. fulva increased by increasing sonication amplitude, however, the Tmin of S. cerevisiae was not function of sonication amplitude. The predicted shelf life was shown to be in good agreement with the measured sensorial shelf life. Increasing the temperature from 5 to 35 °C, reduced the shelf life from 17.5 to 3.5 days for B. fulva and from 15 to 5 days for S. cerevisiae. Moreover, for B. fulva, the activation energy (Ea) decreased from 43.4 to 27.5 kJ/mol by increasing the amplitude, while no significant change was observed for S. cerevisiae. Besides, thermodynamics properties of the shelf life such as enthalpy (ΔH++), entropy (ΔS++) and Gibbs free energy (ΔG++) were proven to be suitable measures to determine the microbial spoilage reaction.

Abstract
Nowadays celiac disease is becoming more common. It is the autonomic genetic disease that is accompanied by damage to the intestines due to a reaction to eating some proteins. People who are suffering from celiac disease cannot eat food containing gluten, including dough made from gluten-containing seeds. But the gluten-free dough has commonly bad rheological properties and cannot be used for automatic molding the dumplings. In this article, we propose the ultrasonic-assisted technology to fabricate the gluten-free dough with improved rheological properties acceptable for automatic molding of the dumplings. Application of ultrasonic treatment at a frequency of 35 kHz during the dough preparation leads to the homogenization of the dough structure and changing the rheological properties of the dough. The ultrasound induces mechanical, physical and chemical/biochemical changes of the dough components through cavitation. The sonication causes a doubled dough volume increase followed by an additional mass yield of the dumplings equal 2-10% per kilogram of dough. Besides extra beneficial economic effect, our technology provides an additional sterilization effect of the fabricated dough.

Abstract
Thermosonication (TS) impacts numerous characteristics of spores, such as morphology, cell metabolism, and stress resistance. However, relevant mechanisms need to be clarified. In the present study, the effect of TS treatment on Bacillus subtilis spores was investigated at phenotypic and proteomic levels. The results showed that TS treatment induced significant changes to spores in growth kinetics and morphology. A total of 167 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were obtained after TS treatment at 6.67 W/mL and 80 °C. Among these proteins, 80 were up-regulated, whereas 87 were down-regulated. These DEPs were classed into 20 functional categories. Enrichment analysis of the proteome revealed that the major categories were associated with metabolic functions, including energy metabolic processes, amino acids biosynthesis and metabolism, translation and ribosomal protein. In summary, B. subtilis spores showed alteration primarily in the proteins that were associated with metabolism under TS treatment. These findings could be applied to the development and optimization of TS-based sporicidal treatment.

Abstract
There is a neoteric and rising demand for nutritional and functional foods which behooves food processors to adopt processing techniques with optimal conservation of bioactive components in foods and with minimal pernicious impacts on the environment. Ultrasonication, a mechanochemical technique has proven to be an efficacious panacea to these concerns. In this review, an analytic exploration of recent researches and designs regarding ultrasound methodology and equipment on diverse food systems, technological scales, procedural parameters and outcomes of such experimentations optimally scrutinized. The relative effects of ultrasonication on food formulations, components and attributes such as nanoemulsions, nanocapsules, proteins, micronutrients, sensory and mechanical characteristics are evaluatively delineated. In food systems where ultrasonication was employed, it was found to have a remarkable effect on one or more quality parameters. This review is a supplementation to the pedagogical awareness to scholars on the suitability of ultrasonication for research procedures, and a call to industrial food brands on the adoption of this technique for the development of foods with optimally sustained nutrient profiles.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) is one of the most used analgesics and antipyretic agents in the world. Intoxication with APAP is the main cause of acute liver toxicity in both the US and Europe. Spore-forming probiotic bacteria have the ability to resist harsh gastric and intestinal conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effect of Bacillus (B) species (sp) spores (B. licheniformis, B. indicus, B. subtilis, B. clausii, B. coagulans) against hepatotoxicity induced by APAP in rats. A total of 35 rats were randomly divided into seven groups: group I served as control; group II received silymarin; group III received MegaSporeBioticTM (MSB); group IV received APAP and served as the model of hepatotoxicity; group V received APAP and silymarin; group VI received APAP and MSB; group VII received APAP, silymarin and MSB. The livers for histopathological examination and blood samples were collected on the last day of the experiment. We determined aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels and zonula occludens (ZO-1), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) expression. APAP overdose increased AST and ALT. It slowly decreased TAC compared to the control group, but pretreatment with silymarin and MSB increased TAC levels. Elevated plasma concentrations were identified for ZO-1 in groups treated with APAP overdose compared with those without APAP or receiving APAP in combination with silymarin, MSB or both. The changes were positively correlated with the levels of other proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β). In addition, histopathological hepatic injury was improved by preadministration of MSB or silymarin versus the disease model group. Bacillus sp spores had a protective effect on acute hepatic injury induced by APAP. Pretreatment with MSB resulted in a significant reduction in serum AST, ALT, TNF-α, IL-1β, ZO-1, TAC and also hepatocyte necrosis, similar to the well-known hepatoprotective agent—silymarin.

Food Res Int 2019; 129:108887. [PMID: 32036906 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2019.108887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Revised: 11/22/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, the action mechanism of ultrasound (US) combined with sodium hypochlorite (SH) against Escherichia coli was illustrated by different analysis, including reduction, particle size distribution, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), K+ leakage, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and fluorescence spectroscopy of Escherichia coli. The results showed that ultrasound improved the antimicrobial effect of SH in control of E. coli. No significant difference was obtained in reduction of E. coli, CLSM analysis and K+ leakage between US + SH30 (US + 30 ppm SH) and SH50 (50 ppm SH) treatment. Smaller particle size was recorded in US and US + SH30 treatment. The changes of morphology and intracellular organization of E. coli cells as a result of these treatments were confirmed by SEM and TEM analyses. Fluorescence spectroscopy results indicated SH30, US + SH30 and SH50 treatment caused the burial of tyrosine residues and tryptophan residues as well as increase of hydrophobicity. Therefore, the mechanism of US + SH30 treatment against E. coli involved decreased particle size, damaged membrane and changes of intracellular organization and protein conformation.
