[PMID: 39335837 PMCID: PMC11431268 DOI: 10.3390/foods13182908] [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: 07/31/2024] [Revised: 09/06/2024] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Milk is an ideal environment for the growth of microorganisms, especially psychrotrophic bacteria, which can survive under cold conditions and produce heat-resistant enzymes. Psychrotrophic bacteria create the great problem of spoiling milk quality and safety. Several ways that milk might get contaminated by psychrotrophic bacteria include animal health, cowshed hygiene, water quality, feeding strategy, as well as milk collection, processing, etc. Maintaining the quality of raw milk is critically essential in dairy processing, and the dairy sector is still affected by the premature milk deterioration of market-processed products. This review focused on the recent detection and control strategies of psychrotrophic bacteria and emphasizes the significance of advanced sensing methods for early detection. It highlights the ongoing challenges in the dairy industry caused by these microorganisms and discusses future perspectives in enhancing milk quality through innovative rapid detection methods and stringent processing controls. This review advocates for a shift towards more sophisticated on-farm detection technologies and improved control practices to prevent spoilage and economic losses in the dairy sector.

Abstract
In this study, possible reasons for an increased level of free fatty acids (FFAs) in Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) treated full fat (3.5% wt/wt) milk and its effect on the frothing properties of milk were investigated. Lipolysis of raw milk from 2 different breeds of cattle (Holstein and Jersey) was induced by mechanical stress and kinetics of lipolysis were compared. Frothing capacity and foam stability of shelf stable milk with different concentrations of FFAs were determined, with a good to medium initial foam volume for up to 4 mEquiv FFA · (100 g fat)-1 fat and poor foam stability with >2 mEquiv FFA · (100 g fat)-1. A combination of mechanical stress and initial condition of fresh raw milk was found to trigger lipolysis and potential sources of mechanical stress during milk processing were identified.

[PMID: 39243606 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.141022] [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: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
The bacterial community dynamics and metabolomic profiles in raw yak (Y) milk and cattle-yak (CY) milk during refrigeration at 4 °C were investigated, followed by the elucidation of interspecific differences in milk storage. Bacterial communities and succession patterns were significantly different between the two milk types during refrigeration, with Lactococcus and Pseudomonas being the key distinguishing genera. Moreover, higher network complexity and tighter interactions were observed for the microbial community in CY milk than in Y milk. Furthermore, 7 proteases and 1 lipase potentially contributed to milk spoilage. The metabolomic profiles significantly differed between the milk types during refrigeration. Extended storage time decreased the relative abundances of organic nitrogen compounds and lipids and lipid-like molecules, with a concomitant increase in organic acids and derivatives, particularly in Y milk. Moreover, 9 metabolites, whose levels gradually increased with storage time, were strongly correlated with psychrophiles and thus considered potential markers of deterioration in plateau-characteristic milk. These findings offer a theoretical foundation for augmenting the quality and safety of plateau-characteristic milk and its derivatives, while also helping us understand the microbial and metabolic dynamics in raw milk under extreme environments.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1198124. [PMID: 37426008 PMCID: PMC10325786 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1198124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Ensuring a safe and adequate food supply is a cornerstone of human health and food security. However, a significant portion of the food produced for human consumption is wasted annually on a global scale. Reducing harvest and postharvest food waste, waste during food processing, as well as food waste at the consumer level, have been key objectives of improving and maintaining sustainability. These issues can range from damage during processing, handling, and transport, to the use of inappropriate or outdated systems, and storage and packaging-related issues. Microbial growth and (cross)contamination during harvest, processing, and packaging, which causes spoilage and safety issues in both fresh and packaged foods, is an overarching issue contributing to food waste. Microbial causes of food spoilage are typically bacterial or fungal in nature and can impact fresh, processed, and packaged foods. Moreover, spoilage can be influenced by the intrinsic factors of the food (water activity, pH), initial load of the microorganism and its interaction with the surrounding microflora, and external factors such as temperature abuse and food acidity, among others. Considering this multifaceted nature of the food system and the factors driving microbial spoilage, there is an immediate need for the use of novel approaches to predict and potentially prevent the occurrence of such spoilage to minimize food waste at the harvest, post-harvest, processing, and consumer levels. Quantitative microbial spoilage risk assessment (QMSRA) is a predictive framework that analyzes information on microbial behavior under the various conditions encountered within the food ecosystem, while employing a probabilistic approach to account for uncertainty and variability. Widespread adoption of the QMSRA approach could help in predicting and preventing the occurrence of spoilage along the food chain. Alternatively, the use of advanced packaging technologies would serve as a direct prevention strategy, potentially minimizing (cross)contamination and assuring the safe handling of foods, in order to reduce food waste at the post-harvest and retail stages. Finally, increasing transparency and consumer knowledge regarding food date labels, which typically are indicators of food quality rather than food safety, could also contribute to reduced food waste at the consumer level. The objective of this review is to highlight the impact of microbial spoilage and (cross)contamination events on food loss and waste. The review also discusses some novel methods to mitigate food spoilage and food loss and waste, and ensure the quality and safety of our food supply.

Proteolytic activity and heat resistance of the protease AprX from Pseudomonas in relation to genotypic characteristics. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 391-393:110147.

Abstract
AprX is an alkaline metalloprotease produced by Pseudomonas spp. and encoded by its initial gene of the aprX-lipA operon. The intrinsic diversity among Pseudomonas spp. regarding their proteolytic activity is the main challenge for the development of accurate methods for spoilage prediction of ultra-high temperature (UHT) treated milk in the dairy industry. In the present study, 56 Pseudomonas strains were characterized by assessing their proteolytic activity in milk before and after lab-scale UHT treatment. From these, 24 strains were selected based on their proteolytic activity for whole genome sequencing (WGS) to identify common genotypic characteristics that correlated with the observed variations in proteolytic activity. Four groups (A1, A2, B and N) were determined based on operon aprX-lipA sequence similarities. These alignment groups were observed to significantly influence the proteolytic activity of the strains, with an average proteolytic activity of A1 > A2 > B > N. The lab-scale UHT treatment did not significantly influence their proteolytic activity, indicating a high thermal stability of proteases among strains. Amino acid sequence variation of biologically-relevant motifs in the AprX sequence, namely the Zn2+-binding motif at the catalytic domain and the C-terminal type I secretion signaling mechanism, were found to be highly conserved within alignment groups. These motifs could serve as future potential genetic biomarkers for determination of alignment groups and thereby strain spoilage potential.

Fatty acids composition and lipolysis of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese: effect of the milk cooling temperature at the farm. Anim Biosci 2023; 36:132-143. [PMID: 35798045 PMCID: PMC9834655 DOI: 10.5713/ab.22.0080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to study the influence of cooling milk at 9°C at the farm versus keeping it at 20°C on Parmigiano Reggiano cheese lipolysis. METHODS A total of six cheesemaking trials (3 in winter and 3 in summer) were performed. In each trial, milk was divided continuously into two identical aliquots, one of which was kept at 9°C (MC9) and the other at 20°C (MC20). For each trial and milk temperature, vat milk (V-milk) and the resulting 21 month ripened cheese were analysed. RESULTS Fat and dry matter and fat/casein ratio were lower in MC9 V-milk (p≤0.05) than in MC20. Total bacteria, mesophilic lactic acid and psychrotrophic and lipolytic bacteria showed significant differences (p≤0.05) between the two V-milks. Regarding cheese, fat content resulted lower and crude protein higher (p≤0.05) both in outer (OZ) and in inner zone (IZ) of the MC9 cheese wheels. Concerning total fatty acids, the MC9 OZ had a lower concentration of butyric, capric (p≤0.05) and medium chain fatty acids (p≤0.05), while the MC9 IZ had lower content of butyric (p≤0.05), caproic (p≤0.01) and short chain fatty acids (p≤0.05). The levels of short chain and medium chain free fatty acids (p≤0.05) were lower and that of long chain fatty acids (p≤0.05) was higher in MC9 OZ cheese. The principal component analysis of total and free fatty acids resulted in a clear separation among samples by seasons, whereas slight differences were observed between the two different milk temperatures. CONCLUSION Storing milk at 9°C at the herd affects the chemical composition of Parmigiano Reggiano, with repercussion on lipolysis. However, the changes are not very relevant, and since the cheese can present a high variability among the different cheese factories, such changes should be considered within the "normal variations" of Parmigiano Reggiano chemical characteristics.

Abstract
Pseudomonas spp. are common microorganisms from cold-storage raw milk, and protease secreted by Pseudomonas spp. can cause the deterioration of stored milk. However, analyses of Pseudomonas spp. diversity and proteolytic activity in raw milk from different regions of China have not been extensively examined. With this aim, the diversity and proteolytic activity of Pseudomonas isolated from 25 raw cow milk samples from Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Gansu, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Chongqing and Hunan of China in different seasons were evaluated by PCR targeting 16S rDNA and rpoD, as well as TNBS method, respectively. A total of 116 Pseudomonas isolates from 25 raw cow milk samples were identified at the species level, including P. fluorescens, P. veronii, P. psychrophila, P. lundensis, P. lactis, P. azotoformans, P. granadensis, P. lurida, P. rhizosphaerae, P. rhodesiae and P. extremorientalis. P. fluorescens accounted for 75.8% of the total. Of all 116 Pseudomonas isolates, 68.9% of them displayed proteolytic activity at 4 °C, 81.9% at 10 °C and 85.3% at 25 °C, respectively. The aprX gene encoded a secreted and heat-resistant metalloprotease that was present in 60.3% of the Pseudomonas isolates tested. The proteases showed residual activity ranged from 73 ± 4% to 84 ± 7% residual activity after the heat treatment at 72 °C for 15 s and 62 ± 3% to 74 ± 2% after the heat treatment at 132 °C for 4 s. This is the first report to compare Pseudomonas spp. diversity and proteolytic activity at species levels in raw milk from different regions of China. The results of this study provide valuable data about the diversity and spoilage potential of Pseudomonas species in raw milk and the thermal resistance of the proteases. Therefore, these findings provide a reference for the importance to prevent Pseudomonas spp. contamination of raw cow milk to ensure the quality and safety of milk and dairy products.

Bacterial Composition and Interactions in Raw Milk and Teat Skin of Dairy Cows. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
The microbiota in raw milk plays an important role in the health of dairy cows and the safety of dairy products, which might be influenced by that in teat skin. However, the microbiota composition in raw milk and teat skin, as well as the bacterial interaction between the two adjacent spatial locations, remains elusive. Here, we investigated the composition, diversity, and co-occurrence network of the bacterial communities in raw milk and on teat skin, as well as the shift of bacterial communities during the teat bath using 469 samples from 156 individual cows. We observed that raw milk and teat skin harbored significantly different bacterial communities according to an assessment of the genera numbers (p < 0.05) and PCoA analysis (ANOSIM p < 0.05). The microbiota in raw milk was dominated by Proteobacteria (58.5% in relative abundance) at the phylum level and by Pseudomonas (51.2%) at the genus level, while that in teat skin was dominated by Firmicutes (46.9%) at the phylum level and by Pseudomonas (11.0%) at the genus level. We observed a massive difference between the bacterial subnetworks in raw milk and teat, and the bacterial abundance in these two adjacent spatial locations was positively correlated (p < 0.05). Using Bayesian algorithms, we identified that 92.1% of bacteria in raw milk were transferred from teat skin, while 63.6% of bacteria on teat skin were transferred from raw milk. Moreover, microbiota composition in teat skin could be affected by the teat bath with iodine disinfectant, which tended to be more similar to that in raw milk after the teat bath (p < 0.05), while the abundance of the dominant genus Pseudomonas significantly increased (p < 0.05). These findings expand our knowledge on the microbiota composition in teat skin and raw milk, as well as the interaction between these two adjacent spatial locations.

Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:892739. [PMID: 35754542 PMCID: PMC9215719 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.892739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Food networks present varying food safety concerns because of the complexity of interactions, production, and handling practices. We investigated total bacteria counts (TBCs) and total coliform counts (TCCs) in various nodes of a Nairobi dairy value chain and identified practices that influence food safety. A value chain analysis framework facilitated qualitative data collection through 23 key informant interviews and 20 focus group discussions. Content thematic analysis identified food safety challenges. Cow milk products (N = 290) were collected from farms (N = 63), collection centers (N = 5), shops/kiosks (N = 37), milk bars (N = 17), roadside vendors (N = 14), restaurants (N = 3), milk vending machines (N = 2), mobile traders (N = 2) and a supermarket (N = 1). Mean values of colony-forming units for TBC and TCC were referenced to East African Standards (EAS). Logistic regression analysis assessed differences in milk acceptability based on EAS. The raw milk from farms and collection centers was relatively within acceptable EAS limits in terms of TBC (3.5 × 105 and 1.4 × 106 respectively) but TCC in the milk from farms was 3 times higher than EAS limits (1.5 × 105). Compared to farms, the odds ratio of milk acceptability based on TBC was lower on milk bars (0.02), restaurants (0.02), roadside vendors (0.03), shops/kiosks (0.07), and supermarkets (0.17). For TCC, the odds that milk samples from collection centers, milk bars, restaurants, roadside vendors, and shops/kiosks were acceptable was less than the odds of samples collected from farms (0.18, 0.03, 0.06, 0.02, and 0.12, respectively). Comparison of raw milk across the nodes showed that the odds of milk samples from restaurants, roadside vendors, and shops/kiosks being acceptable were less than the odds of samples collected the farm for TBC (0.03, 0.04, and 0.04, respectively). For TCC, the odds of raw milk from collection centers, restaurants, roadside vendors, milk bars, and shops/kiosks being acceptable were lower than the odds of acceptability for the farm samples (0.18, 0.12, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.05, respectively). Practices with possible influence on milk bacterial quality included muddy cowsheds, unconventional animal feed sources, re-use of spoilt raw milk, milk adulteration, acceptance of low-quality milk for processing, and lack of cold chain. Therefore, milk contamination occurs at various points, and the designing of interventions should focus on every node.

Abstract
This research project aimed to investigate the physico-chemical, sensory, hygienic and safety characteristics of raw goat milk, whey, brine and traditional goat cheese during the ripening period of 28 days. Physico-chemical parameters included the determination of dry matter, fat, ash, protein, pH, water activity and NaCl content. The presence of Enterobacteriaceae and fungi was estimated on milk and cheese samples, and a sensory panel evaluated the products' features and acceptability during ripening. The results show that the cheese under study belongs to the acid full-fat cheese group. A consumer panel attributed high scores to the goat cheese, until the 21st day of ripening. After this period, the overall features altered significantly, including augmented bitterness, odor intensification and the development of molds on the surface. The presence of fungi, associated with Enterobacteriaceae, suggests that the hygiene of the production processes needs to be improved. Regarding microbial safety, the detection of putative pathogens and antibiotic resistances recommend an active surveillance of traditional foods to avoid foodborne infections and/or the dissemination of resistant microorganisms along the food chain.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of this study was to detect growth enhancing or inhibiting activity between bacterial populations from raw milk under different conditions (temperature, medium). METHODS AND RESULTS The interference of 24 raw milk isolates on growth of each other and on Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus was screened by drop assay and for selected pairs in co-cultivation experiments. By drop assay, antibacterial activity was observed for 40% of the strains. About 30% of the strains showed growth-enhancing activity on other strains. Most of the isolates were well adapted to cold temperatures and showed consistent or even increased inhibiting or enhancing effects on growth of other strains at 10°C. The growth of L. monocytogenes DSM 20600T and S. aureus DSM 1104T was significantly (P < 0·05) reduced in co-cultivation with Pseudomonas protegens JZ R-192. CONCLUSIONS Growth interferences between bacterial populations have an impact on the structure of raw milk microbiota, especially when it develops under cold storage, and it may have an effect on the prevalence of certain foodborne pathogens. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study demonstrates growth-inhibiting and also growth-enhancing interactions between raw milk bacteria, which must be considered when predicting bacterial growth and spoilage in food. A Ps. protegens strain isolated from raw milk showed an antagonistic effect on growth of L. monocytogenes in refrigerated raw milk.

Abstract
Heat-stable endopeptidases in raw milk, especially the alkaline metallopeptidase AprX secreted by Pseudomonas spp., are a well-known challenge for the dairy industry. They can withstand UHT treatment and may cause quality defects over the shelf life of milk products. Therefore, we established an indirect ELISA for the detection of Pseudomonas AprX in milk. We developed a 2-step sample treatment for milk contaminated with AprX to avoid the interference of milk proteins with the detection system. First, casein micelles were destabilized by the detraction of Ca2+ using trisodium citrate; then, AprX was concentrated 10-fold using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The recovery of AprX in spiked milk samples after the 2-step treatment was 43 ± 0.1%. Specific antibodies for purified AprX from Pseudomonas lactis were produced to establish the ELISA. Western blot experiments showed that the binding affinity of these antibodies depended on the sequence homology of the AprX from P. lactis and several other Pseudomonas spp. The indirect ELISA, which was completed in 6 to 7 h, had a limit of detection of 21.0 ng mL-1 and a limit of quantification of 25.7 ng mL-1. Milk proteins or milk endogenous peptidases were not detected by the antibodies. The ELISA had high precision, with a CV between 0.2 and 0.8% measured on the same day (intraday) and 5.6 and 6.8% measured on 5 separate days (interday). Milk samples were spiked with different AprX activity levels [7.5-150 nkat Na-caseinate/o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) mL-1] and evaluated by ELISA. The recovery of the ELISA was 92.3 ± 1.6 to 105 ± 4.7%. The lowest AprX activity quantifiable in the spiked milk samples was 500 pkat Na-caseinate/OPA mL-1. The proof of concept to detect heat-stable Pseudomonas AprX in milk by ELISA was established.

Abstract
Abstract The heat-stable peptidase AprX, secreted by psychrotolerant Pseudomonas species in raw milk, is a major cause of destabilization and premature spoilage of ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk and milk products. To enable rapid detection and quantification of seven frequent and proteolytic Pseudomonas species (P. proteolytica, P. gessardii, P. lactis, P. fluorescens, P. protegens, P. lundensis, and P. fragi) in raw milk, we developed two triplex qPCR assays taking into account species-dependent differences in AprX activity. Besides five species-specific hydrolysis probes, targeting the aprX gene, a universal rpoB probe was included in the assay to determine the total Pseudomonas counts. For all six probes, linear regression lines between Cq value and target DNA concentration were obtained in singleplex as well as in multiplex approaches, yielding R2 values of > 0.975 and amplification efficiencies of 85–97%. Moreover, high specificity was determined using genomic DNA of 75 Pseudomonas strains, assigned to 57 species, and 40 other bacterial species as templates in the qPCR. Quantification of the target species and total Pseudomonas counts resulted in linear detection ranges of approx. 103–107 cfu/ml, which correspond well to common Pseudomonas counts in raw milk. Application of the assay using 60 raw milk samples from different dairies showed good agreement of total Pseudomonas counts calculated by qPCR with cell counts derived from cultivation. Furthermore, a remarkably high variability regarding the species composition was observed for each milk sample, whereby P. lundensis and P. proteolytica/P. gessardii were the predominant species detected. Key points • Multiplex qPCR for quantification of seven proteolytic Pseudomonas species and total Pseudomonas counts in raw milk • High specificity and sensitivity via hydrolysis probes against aprX and rpoB • Rapid method to determine Pseudomonas contamination in raw milk and predict spoilage potential Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00253-021-11109-0.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to generate knowledge on the most important milk quality and safety attributes, including somatic cell count (SCC), total bacterial count (TBC), Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Brucella spp. antibodies and antibiotic residues in milk in the chain from farm to milk collection center (MCC) in Rwanda. In addition, we investigated farm and management factors associated with high TBC, SCC, and Salmonella counts. Raw milk was sampled at the farm and MCC levels. Milk samples were taken from dairy farms linked to 2 selected MCC in each of the 4 provinces in Rwanda. In total, 406 bulk milk samples from 406 farms and 32 bulk milk samples from 8 MCC were collected and analyzed. Farm milk average SCC varied between 180 × 103 and 920 × 103 cells/mL, whereas average SCC in milk samples at MCC varied between 170 × 103 and 1,700 × 103 cells/mL. The mean milk TBC of different farms per MCC varied between 1.1 × 106 and 1.6 × 107 cfu/mL, whereas in milk samples from different MCC, the mean TBC ranged between 5.3 × 105 and 2.4 × 108 cfu/mL. The high TBC in milk from MCC suggests proliferation or recontamination of milk by bacteria during transportation. Escherichia coli was detected in 35 of 385 farm milk samples and ranged between 5 cfu/mL and 1.1 × 104 cfu/mL, whereas in milk samples from the MCC, it was detected in 20 out 32 samples varying between 5 cfu/mL and 2.9 × 103 cfu/mL. Overall farm prevalence of Salmonella in milk samples was 14%, but no milk samples from MCC were positive for Salmonella. Five out of 22 bulk milk samples from different MCC were positive for Brucella spp. antibodies, but no Brucella antibodies were detected in milk samples from farms. The prevalence of antibiotic residues as detected by the Delvotest SP NT (DSM, Delft, the Netherlands) was low: 1.3% in farm milk samples and undetected in MCC milk samples. Lack of a separate milking area was associated with high TBC, whereas offering of supplemental feeds, keeping data of past diseases, and an unhygienic milking area were associated with high SCC. Lack of teat washing before milking was the only factor associated with Salmonella contamination of milk at the farm level. This study indicated high TBC and SCC of milk samples at the farm and MCC levels, which indicates both microbial contamination of milk and poor udder health in dairy cows. Presence of E. coli, Salmonella, and Brucella antibodies in milk was common, but finding antibiotic residues in milk was uncommon.

Abstract
The microbiota that spoil long-life micro-filtered milk generally includes species of the genus Microbacterium. The metabolic properties of this of microorganisms that could potentially modify the quality of micro-filtered milk are still unexplored when compared to better-known microorganisms, such as the spore-forming Bacillus and Paenibacillus spp., and Gram-negative contaminants, such as species of the genera Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter. In this preliminary study, two strains of Microbacterium (M. lacticum 18H and Microbacterium sp. 2C) isolated from micro-filtered milk were characterized in depth, both phenotypically and genotypically, to better understand their role in long-term milk spoilage. The study highlights the ability of these strains to produce high cell numbers and low acidification in micro-filtered milk under storage and shelf-life conditions. Phenotypic analyses of the two Microbacterium sp. isolates revealed that both strains have low proteolytic and lipolytic activity. In addition, they have the ability to form biofilms. This study aims to be a preliminary investigation of milk-adapted strains of the Microbacterium genus, which are able to grow to high cellular levels and perform slight but not negligible acidification that could pose a potential risk to the final quality of micro-filtered milk. Furthermore, M. lacticum 18H and Microbacterium sp. 2C were genotypically characterized in relation to the characteristics of interest in the milk environment. Some protein-encoding genes involved in lactose metabolism were found in the genomes, such as β-galactosidase, lactose permease, and L-lactate dehydrogenase. The phenotypically verified proteolytic ability was supported in the genomes by several genes that encode for proteases, peptidases, and peptide transferases.

Abstract
Environmental factors, oxidation and microorganisms contamination, are the major causes for food spoilage, which leads to sensory features alteration, loss of quality, production of harmful chemicals and growth of foodborne pathogens capable to cause severe illness. Synthetic preservatives, traditional conserving methods and food packaging (FP), although effective in counteracting food spoilage, do not allow the real-time monitoring of food quality during storage and transportation and assent a relatively short shelf life. In addition, FP may protect food by the spoilage caused by external contaminations, but is ineffective against foodborne microorganisms. FP preservative functionalities could be improved adding edible natural antioxidants and antimicrobials, but such chemicals are easily degradable. Nowadays, thanks to nanotechnology techniques, it is possible to improve the FP performances, formulating and inserting more stable antioxidant/antimicrobial ingredients, improving mechanical properties and introducing intelligent functions. The state-of-the-art in the field of nanomaterial-based improved FP, the advantages that might derive from their extensive introduction on the market and the main concerns associated to the possible migration and toxicity of nanomaterials, frequently neglected in existing reviews, have been herein discussed.

Abstract
Identification of the most proteolytic Pseudomonas strains that can produce heat-resistant proteases and contribute to the Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk destabilization is of great interest. In the present study, among the 146 Pseudomonas isolates that encoded the aprX gene, five isolates with the highest proteolytic activity were selected and identified based on 16S rRNA, rpoD and gyrB gene sequences data. The identification results were confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on multilocus sequence analysis and identified the representative isolates as P. jessenii (two isolates) and P. gessardii (three isolates). Casein zymography demonstrated the ability of these species to produce heat-resistant enzymes, AprX, with molecular mass of about 48 kDa during storage at 7° C for 72 h. In sterilized milk samples, the residual activity of AprX caused a considerable enhancement in the degree of protein hydrolysis, non-protein nitrogen and non-casein nitrogen contents of the samples during a two-month storage. This enhancement was slightly higher in samples containing enzyme produced by P. jessenii compared to P. gessardii ones, resulting in earlier onset of sterilized milk destabilization. Hence, this study revealed that P. jessenii and P. gessardii can play a considerable role in deterioration of Iranian commercial long-life milk.

Abstract
Psychrotolerant Pseudomonas species are a main cause of proteolytic spoilage of ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk products due to the secretion of the heat-resistant metallopeptidase AprX, which is encoded by the first gene of the aprX-lipA2 operon. While the proteolytic property has been characterized for many different Pseudomonas isolates, the underlying aprX-lipA2 gene organization was only described for a few strains so far. In this study, the phylogenomic analysis of 185 Pseudomonas type strains revealed that the presence of aprX is strongly associated to a monophylum composed of 81 species, of which 83% carried the aprX locus. Furthermore, almost all type strains of known milk-relevant species were shown to be members of the three monophyletic groups P. fluorescens, P. gessardii, and P. fragi. In total, 22 different types of aprX-lipA2 genetic organizations were identified in the genus, whereby 31% of the species tested carried the type 1 operon structure consisting of eight genes (aprXIDEF prtAB lipA2). Other genetic structures differed from type 1 mainly in the presence and location of genes coding for two lipases (lipA1 and lipA2) and putative autotransporters (prtA and prtB). The peptidase activity of 129 strains, as determined on skim milk agar and in UHT-milk, correlated largely with different aprX-lipA2 gene compositions. Particularly, isolates harboring the type 1 operon were highly proteolytic, while strains with other operon types, especially ones lacking prtA and prtB, exhibited significantly lower peptidase activities. In conclusion, the phylogenomic position and the aprX-lipA2 gene organization specify the proteolytic potential of Pseudomonas isolates. In addition, however, an interplay of several environmental factors and intrinsic traits influences production and activity of AprX, leading to strain-specific proteolytic phenotypes.

Abstract
Two strains, WS 5063T and WS 5067, isolated from raw cow’s milk and skimmed milk concentrate, could be affiliated as members of the same, hitherto unknown,
Pseudomonas
species by 16S rRNA and rpoD gene sequences. Multilocus sequence and average nucleotide identity (ANIm) analyses based on draft genome sequences confirmed the discovery of a novel
Pseudomonas
species. It was most closely related to
Pseudomonas synxantha
DSM 18928T with an ANIm of 91.4 %. The DNA G+C content of WS 5063T was 60.0 mol %. Phenotypic characterizations showed that the isolates are rod-shaped, motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and aerobic. Growth occurred at 4–34 °C and at pH values of pH 5.5–8.0. Both strains showed strong β-haemolysis on blood agar. The major cellular polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The dominant quinone was Q-9 (90 %), but noticeable amounts of Q-8 (9 %) and traces of Q-7 were also detected. Fatty acid profiles were typical for
Pseudomonas
species and exhibited C16 : 0 as a major component. Based on these results, we conclude that both strains belong to a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas haemolytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WS 5063T (=DSM 108987T=LMG 31232T) and an additional strain is WS 5067 (=DSM 108988=LMG 31233).

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of different activity levels of a thermoresistant protease, produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens (ATCC 17556), on the cheesemaking properties of milk and proteolysis levels. Sterilized reconstituted skim milk powder was inoculated with the bacteria, and after incubation, centrifuged to obtain a supernatant-containing protease. Raw milk was collected and inoculated to obtain a protease activity of 0.15, 0.60, and 1.5 U/L of milk (treatments P1, P4, and P10, respectively). One sample was not inoculated (control) and noninoculated supernatant was added to a fifth sample to be used as a negative control. Samples were stored at 4°C for 72 h. After 0, 48, and 72 h, the rennet coagulation properties and proteolysis levels were assessed. The protease produced was thermoresistant, as no significant differences were observed in the activity in the pasteurized (72°C for 15 s) and nonpasteurized supernatants. The chromatograms and electrophoretograms indicated that the protease preferably hydrolyzed κ-casein and β-casein, and levels of proteolysis increased with added protease activity over storage time. The hydrolysis of αS-caseins and major whey proteins increased considerably in P10 milk samples. At 0 h, the increase in the level of protease activity decreased the rennet coagulation time (RCT, min) of the samples, possibly due to synergistic proteolysis of κ-casein into para-κ-casein. However, over prolonged storage, hydrolysis of β-casein and αS-casein increased in P4 and P10 samples. The RCT of P4 samples increased over time and the coagulum became softer, whereas P10 samples did not coagulate after 48 h of storage. In contrast, the RCT of P1 samples decreased over time and a firmer coagulum was obtained, possibly due to a lower rate of hydrolysis of β-casein and αS-casein. Increased levels of protease could result in further hydrolysis of caseins, affecting the processability of milk over storage time.

Abstract
In the current study, the extracellular endopeptidases from Pseudomonas lundensis and Pseudomonas proteolytica were investigated. The amino acid sequence identity between both endopeptidases is 68%. Both endopeptidases were purified to homogeneity and partially characterized. They were classified as metallopeptidases with a maximum activity at pH 10.0 ( P. lundensis) or 8.5 ( P. proteolytica) at 35 °C. Both remained active in skim milk with 39.7 ± 2.4% and 24.5 ± 3.3%, respectively, of the initial enzyme activity after UHT processing (138 °C for 20 s), indicating the relevance for milk destabilization. The transition points in buffer were determined at 50 °C ( P. lundensis) and 43 °C ( P. proteolytica) using circular dichroism spectroscopy. The loss of the secondary structure at different temperatures was correlated with residual peptidase activities after heat treatment. The ability to destabilize UHT milk was proven by supplementation of skim milk with endopeptidase and storage for 4 weeks.

Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, we investigated the contamination of refrigerated raw milk produced in the western region of Paraná, southern Brazil, with psychrotrophic microorganisms, aiming to assay the proteolytic activity of the isolates and to identify Pseudomonas fluorescens, the main proteolytic species associated with the spoilage of milk products. Raw milk samples from 50 dairy farms were submitted to the counting of psychrotrophic microorganisms, being the microbiota characterized by its mesophilic behavior and proteolytic capacity, besides molecular identification of P. fluorescens. Of the samples evaluated, 94% had psychrotrophic counts ranging from 3 to 7.1 log CFU mL-1, and 48.5% of these showed mesophilic behavior. Of the isolates, 48.0% had proteolytic activity in at least one evaluated temperature (21 and 30°C), and 39.3% had proteolytic activity in both temperatures. Among the 61 isolates submitted to molecular identification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 86.8% contained the expression of the 16S gene characteristic for P. fluorescens. In this study, we demonstrated that P. fluorescens is the most prevalent psychrotrophic bacteria species in raw refrigerated milk and their proteolytic ability poses high risks to the dairy industry.

Abstract
The control of bacterial growth during milk processing is crucial for the quality maintenance of commercial milk and milk products. During a period of cold storage prior to heat treatments, some psychrotrophic bacteria grow and produce extracellular heat-resistant lipases and proteases that cause product defects. The use of lytic bacteriophages (phages) that infect and kill bacteria could be a useful tool for suppressing bacterial growth during this cold storage phase. In this study, we isolated a Pseudomonas lactis strain and a phage from raw cow's milk. Quantitative characterization of the phage was used to elucidate whether this phage was active under low temperatures and neutral pH and whether it was inactivated during pasteurization. Phage titer determination was possible under conditions ranging from pH 4 to 9 and from 3°C to 25°C; the phage was inactivated under pasteurization conditions at 63°C for 30 min. Furthermore, we showed that this phage reduced viable bacterial cell counts in both skim and whole milk. The results of this study represent the potential uses of phages for controlling psychrotrophic bacterial growth in raw cow's milk during cold storage.IMPORTANCE Suppression of bacterial growth in raw milk under cold storage is crucial for the quality control of commercially supplied milk. The use of lytic phages as low-cost microbicides is an attractive prospect. Due to strict host specificities, phages must be isolated from the raw milk where the host bacteria are growing. We first isolated the P. lactis bacterial strain and then the phage infecting that strain. Partial phage genomic analysis showed that this is a newly isolated phage, different from any previously reported. This study reports a lytic phage for P. lactis, and we have presented evidence here that this phage reduced viable bacterial cell counts not only in rich medium but also in skim and whole milk. As a result, we have concluded that the phage reported in this study would be useful in milk processing.

Abstract
ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas, the main genus of gram-negative microorganisms isolated from milk, is psychrotrophic, biofilm-forming, and thermo-resistant deteriorating enzyme producers. The aim of this study was to quantify Pseudomonas spp. in goat’s and cow’s milk produced in the Paraná state, Brazil, to evaluate the deteriorating activity of the isolates at mesophilic and psychrotrophic conditions and to identify, at the species level, the isolates with alkaline metalloprotease (aprX gene) production potential. Microbiological, biochemical and molecular methods were used for isolating, confirming and identifying of isolates. The mean counts were 1.6 (±6.3)x104 and 0.89(±3)x102 CFU/mL for goat and bovine milk samples, respectively, immediately after milking. Of the Pseudomonas colonies isolated from goat milk (n=60), 91.7% showed proteolytic potential when incubated at 35°C/48 h and 80% at 7°C/10 days, and lipolytic potential was observed in 95% of the isolates incubated in mesophilic and 78.3% at refrigeration conditions. From the isolates of bovine milk (n=20), 35% showed proteolytic activity only when incubated at 35°C/48 h, and lipolytic potential was observed in 25% of the isolates incubated at 7°C/10d and 35°C/48h. It was observed that 83.3% and 25% of the isolates genetically confirmed as Pseudomonas spp. of goat and bovine milk showed the potential for alkaline metalloprotease production, with the species P. azotoformans, P. koreensis, P. gessardii, P. monteilii and P. lurida being the most frequent in goat milk and P. aeruginosa the only species identified in cow milk.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of milk collection frequency (24 h versus 48 h) and milking dayshift (morning and evening) on total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB) and psychrotrophic bacteria (PSY) counts in raw milk samples. MAB counts were determined by flow cytometry (BactoScan) and PSY counts by the plate counting agar method. An univariate statistical analysis was performed to find out significant differences among the studied factors. Results obtained showed that collecting milk every 24 h was effective in reducing MAB and PSY counts by 32 and 18%, respectively, compared to 48 h milk collection. This positive impact allowed reducing up to 4°C the temperature of the heat treatment in the dairy industry, thus involving energy savings of 22%. Milking during the mornings showed a significant reduction of MAB counts in comparison to milking performed during the evenings (P<0.05). These results are highly useful for the improvement of milk quality through the optimization of collection and milking systems set at primary production.

Abstract
Cheese is a typical handcrafted fermented food in Kazak minority from the Uighur Autonomy Region in China and Central Asia. Among the microbial community that is responsible for Kazak cheese fermentation, yeasts play important role in flavor formation during ripening. To develop ripening cultures, we isolated 123 yeasts from 25 cheese products in Kazak, and identified 87 isolates by the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit rRNA gene sequence. Pichia kudriavzevii was the dominant yeast in Kazak cheese, followed by Kluyveromyces marxianus and Kluyveromyces lactis. Of these, the ability to exhibit enzyme of dominant isolates and contribution to the typical flavor of cheeses was assessed. Enzyme producing yeast strains were inoculated in Hazak cheese‐like medium and volatile compounds were identified by head space solid phase micro extraction coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Pichia kudriavzevii N‐X displayed the strongest extracellular proteolytic and activity on skim milk agar and produced a range of aroma compounds (ethanol, ethyl acetate, 3‐methylbutanol, and acetic acid) for Kazak cheese flavor, could be explored as ripening cultures in commercial production of Kazak cheeses.

Abstract
Milk spoilage is caused by the presence of proteolytic enzymes produced by Pseudomonas spp. during storage at low temperatures. The aim of this study was to identify Pseudomonas spp. in raw milk and investigate their associated proteolytic properties at low temperatures. Raw milk samples (n = 87) were collected from 87 bulk tanks in Shaanxi Province in China. Pseudomonas spp. were identified using Pseudomonas specific 16S, universal 16S rRNA sequencing, and rpoB gene sequencing. The proteolytic properties of Pseudomonas spp. were examined using milk agar, quantitative trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid assay, and by the presence of alkaline metallopeptidase gene (aprX). A total 143 isolates from all 87 samples were confirmed as Pseudomonas, and were identified as belonging to 14 Pseudomonas species. Of these, 40 (28.0%) isolates revealed proteolysis on milk agar at 2°C, 74 (51.8%) at 4°C, 104 (72.7%) at 7°C, and 102 (71.3%) at 10°C. However, proteolytic activity of 45 (31.5%) isolates exceeded 2 μmol of glycine equivalents per mL at 7°C, followed by 43 (30.1%) at 10°C, 18 (12.6%) at 4°C, and 7 (4.9%) at 2°C. The results reveal proteolytic activity of Pseudomonas spp. present in milk and their spoilage potential at different temperatures.

Abstract
Lipases secreted by psychrotrophic bacteria are known to be heat resistant and can remain active even after the thermal processing of milk products. Such enzymes are able to destabilize the quality of milk products by causing a rancid flavor. Rapid detection of a small amount of heat-resistant lipase-producing psychrotrophic bacteria is crucial for reducing their adverse effects on milk quality. In this study, we established and optimized a novel loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Pseudomonas fluorescens in raw cow milk, as the most frequently reported heat-resistant lipase-producing bacterial species. Pseudomonas fluorescens-specific DNA primers for LAMP were designed based on the lipase gene sequence. Reaction conditions of the LAMP assay were tested and optimized. The detection limit of the optimized LAMP assay was found to be lower than that of a conventional PCR-based method. In pure culture, the detection limit of the LAMP assay was found to be 4.8 × 101 cfu/reaction of the template DNA, whereas the detection limit of the PCR method was 4.8 × 102 cfu/reaction. Evaluation of the performance of the method in P. fluorescens-contaminated pasteurized cow milk revealed a detection limit of 7.4 × 101 cfu/reaction, which was 102 lower than that of the PCR-based method. If further developed, the LAMP assay could offer a favorable on-farm alternative to existing technologies for the detection of psychotrophic bacterial contamination of milk, enabling improved quality control of milk and milk products.

Abstract
Raw bovine milk is highly nutritious as well as pH-neutral, providing the ideal conditions for microbial growth. The microbiota of raw milk is diverse and originates from several sources of contamination including the external udder surface, milking equipment, air, water, feed, grass, feces, and soil. Many bacterial and fungal species can be found in raw milk. The autochthonous microbiota of raw milk immediately after milking generally comprises lactic acid bacteria such as Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, and Leuconostoc species, which are technologically important for the dairy industry, although they do occasionally cause spoilage of dairy products. Differences in milking practices and storage conditions on each continent, country and region result in variable microbial population structures in raw milk. Raw milk is usually stored at cold temperatures, e.g., about 4°C before processing to reduce the growth of most bacteria. However, psychrotrophic bacteria can proliferate and contribute to spoilage of ultra-high temperature (UHT) treated and sterilized milk and other dairy products with a long shelf life due to their ability to produce extracellular heat resistant enzymes such as peptidases and lipases. Worldwide, species of Pseudomonas, with the ability to produce these spoilage enzymes, are the most common contaminants isolated from cold raw milk although other genera such as Serratia are also reported as important milk spoilers, while for others more research is needed on the heat resistance of the spoilage enzymes produced. The residual activity of extracellular enzymes after high heat treatment may lead to technological problems (off flavors, physico-chemical instability) during the shelf life of milk and dairy products. This review covers the contamination patterns of cold raw milk in several parts of the world, the growth potential of psychrotrophic bacteria, their ability to produce extracellular heat-resistant enzymes and the consequences for dairy products with a long shelf life. This problem is of increasing importance because of the large worldwide trade in fluid milk and milk powder.

Impacts of Seasonal Housing and Teat Preparation on Raw Milk Microbiota: a High-Throughput Sequencing Study. Appl Environ Microbiol 2016; 83:AEM.02694-16.

Abstract
In pasture-based systems, changes in dairy herd habitat due to seasonality results in the exposure of animals to different environmental niches. These niches contain distinct microbial communities that may be transferred to raw milk, with potentially important food quality and safety implications for milk producers. It is postulated that the extent to which these microorganisms are transferred could be limited by the inclusion of a teat preparation step prior to milking. High-throughput sequencing on a variety of microbial niches on farms was used to study the patterns of microbial movement through the dairy production chain and, in the process, to investigate the impact of seasonal housing and the inclusion/exclusion of a teat preparation regime on the raw milk microbiota from the same herd over two sampling periods, i.e., indoor and outdoor. Beta diversity and network analyses showed that environmental and milk microbiotas separated depending on whether they were sourced from an indoor or outdoor environment. Within these respective habitats, similarities between the milk microbiota and that of teat swab samples and, to a lesser extent, fecal samples were apparent. Indeed, SourceTracker identified the teat surface as the most significant source of contamination, with herd feces being the next most prevalent source of contamination. In milk from cows grazing outdoors, teat prep significantly increased the numbers of total bacteria present. In summary, sequence-based microbiota analysis identified possible sources of raw milk contamination and highlighted the influence of environment and farm management practices on the raw milk microbiota. IMPORTANCE The composition of the raw milk microbiota is an important consideration from both a spoilage perspective and a food safety perspective and has implications for milk targeted for direct consumption and for downstream processing. Factors that influence contamination have been examined previously, primarily through the use of culture-based techniques. We describe here the extensive application of high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies to study the relationship between the milk production environment and the raw milk microbiota. The results show that the environment in which the herd was kept was the primary driver of the composition of the milk microbiota composition.

Abstract
We previously identified the microbiota present during cheese ripening and observed high protease and lipase activity in Divle Cave cheese. To determine the contribution of individual isolates to enzyme activities, we investigated a range of species representing this microbiota for their proteolytic and lipolytic ability. In total, 17 fungal, 5 yeast and 18 bacterial strains, previously isolated from Divle Cave cheese, were assessed. Qualitative protease and lipase activities were performed on skim-milk agar and spirit-blue lipase agar, respectively, and resulted in a selection of strains for quantitative assays. For the quantitative assays, the strains were grown on minimal medium containing irradiated Divle Cave cheese, obtained from the first day of ripening. Out of 16 selected filamentous fungi, Penicillium brevicompactum, Penicillium cavernicola and Penicillium olsonii showed the highest protease activity, while Mucor racemosus was the best lipase producer. Yarrowia lipolytica was the best performing yeast with respect to protease and lipase activity. From the 18 bacterial strains, 14 and 11 strains, respectively showed protease and lipase activity in agar plates. Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus stratosphericus, Brevibacterium antiquum, Psychrobacter glacincola and Pseudomonas proteolytica displayed the highest protease and lipase activity. The proteases of yeast and filamentous fungi were identified as mainly aspartic protease by specific inhibition with Pepstatin A, whereas inhibition by PMSF (phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) indicated that most bacterial enzymes belong to serine type protease. Our results demonstrate that aspartic proteases, which usually have high milk clotting activity, are predominantly derived from fungal strains, and therefore fungal enzymes appear to be more suitable for use in the cheese industry. Microbial enzymes studied in this research might be alternatives for rennin (chymosin) from animal source because of their low cost and stable availability. Future studies will aim to purify these enzymes to test their suitability for use in similar artisanal cheeses or in large scale commercial cheeses.
