Comparative assessment of antibacterial activity of Matricaria chamomilla L. extract, nisin and of its combination against Alicyclobacillus spp. Food Microbiol 2024; 124:104597. [PMID: 39244376 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2024.104597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
Alicyclobacillus spp. is a potential spoiling agent of acidic products and citrus drinks, leading to sensory alterations in contaminated products and consequent economic losses. Treatments such as pasteurization eliminate vegetative cells, but also create a favorable atmosphere for spore germination. To guarantee quality and safety, the application of natural substances as bioconservatives is a considerable and promising alternative for the food industry. This study evaluated the effect of hexane extract of Matricaria chamomilla L. (HE), Nisin (N) and their combination (HE + N). These compounds are present in some studies describing their antibacterial action, but no studies were found on the association of these compounds against the species Alicyclobacillus spp. This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant activity (AA) for the DPPH• (0,23 μmol Trolox/mg) and ABTS (27.93 μmol Trolox/mg), the Checkboard test revealed synergism between HE and N with a fractional inhibitory index (FIC) of 0.068., and to study the antibacterial and sporicidal effect. The antibacterial and sporicidal activity was satisfactory against Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris with MIC and MBC of 1.95 μg/mL and MSC of 7.81 μg/mL in analyzes using HE + N. The application in orange juice proved to be effective, with an MBC of 0.007 μg/mL. The MIC results served as a parameter for other tests carried out in this study, such as flow cytometry and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and for the evaluation of sensory characteristics with Electronic Nose (E-nose).

Ulfadillah SA, Chang SH. Antibacterial effects of various molecular weight chitosans against Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris in orange juice. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130214. [PMID: 38367781 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris has been gaining attention due to its unique thermo-acidophilic properties and being associated with the deterioration of pasteurized beverages. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of chitosan with various molecular weights (MWs) (164, 85, 29.2, and 7.1 kDa) and concentrations (0-100 μg/mL) against A. acidoterrestris and its effect on guaiacol production. Various chitosan MWs were co-incubated for 7 days, and the bacterial growth, guaiacol, and vanillic acid contents during storage were determined. The chitosans performed antibacterial effects against A. acidoterrestris. Further, 164 kDa chitosan showed excellent results in controlling the growth and guaiacol formation in A. acidoterrestris. These findings demonstrated the efficacy of chitosan antibacterial activity against A. acidoterrestris and mitigating the guaiacol formation. Chitosan's antibacterial properties are attributed to the elimination of cells and suppression of guaiacol production. This study introduces a new approach for reducing A. acidoterrestris contamination in fruit juices, with potential product quality and safety advantages.

Abstract
Tea bags have been extensively used in the food industry and daily life as an efficient way to pack tea. However, the large pores of the commercial tea bags not only lead to the inner contents of tea bag susceptible to bacteria and moisture but also result in the faster water infusion which is undesired during tea brewing. In this study, the polylactic acid (PLA)-PLA/sodium alginate (SA)/bromelain (BL) bilayer fiber membrane imitating the asymmetric wetting structure of lotus leaf blades was fabricated to avoid the above disadvantages of commercial tea bag. The PLA/SA/BL skin-core nanofiber membrane which imitating the skin-core structure of lotus leaf stems was first prepared as the hydrophilic and support layer, then a hydrophobic PLA layer was deposited on top via electrospinning. The PLA-PLA/SA/BL bilayer fiber membrane had a breaking strength of 5.5 MPa and started to decompose at 260 °C. Using this bilayer membrane, tea bags were designed with a novel structure where the hydrophobic PLA layer was placed in the same direction. The novel structure endow the those tea bags a slow and directional water transfer property. Therefore, the PLA-PLA/SA/BL bilayer fiber membrane has great potential for applications as tea bags.

Abstract
Bromelain is a major sulfhydryl proteolytic enzyme found in pineapple plants, having multiple activities in many areas of medicine. Due to its low toxicity, high efficiency, high availability, and relative simplicity of acquisition, it is the object of inexhaustible interest of scientists. This review summarizes scientific reports concerning the possible application of bromelain in treating cardiovascular diseases, blood coagulation and fibrinolysis disorders, infectious diseases, inflammation-associated diseases, and many types of cancer. However, for the proper application of such multi-action activities of bromelain, further exploration of the mechanism of its action is needed. It is supposed that the anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective and anti-coagulatory activity of bromelain may become a complementary therapy for COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 patients. During the irrepressible spread of novel variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, such beneficial properties of this biomolecule might help prevent escalation and the progression of the COVID-19 disease.

Metabolic extract of the endophytic fungus Flavodon flavus isolated from Justicia brandegeana in the control of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris in commercial orange juice. Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 338:109019. [PMID: 33310341 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2020.109019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
In this work, the antibacterial activity of a crude extract of the endophytic fungus Flavodon flavus (JB257), isolated from leaves of Justicia brandegeana, was evaluated against both the vegetative and sporulated forms of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris. The microdilution technique was performed in order to determine the antibacterial activity of the crude extract alone as well as in combination with the bacteriocin, nisin. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the crude extract and nisin alone against A. acidoterrestris vegetative forms were 250 μg/mL and 31.5 μg/mL, respectively, while the minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were 1000 μg/mL and 62.5 μg/mL,respectively. For A. acidoterrestris spores, treatment with the crude extract at a concentration of 500 μg/mL caused a 47% reduction in growth, while nisin at 62.5 μg/mL could reduce 100% of the growth. The in vitro evaluation of the crude extract combined with nisin against A. acidoterrestris by the Checkerboard method showed a synergistic interaction between the two compounds. In addition, greater selectivity towards bacterial cells over host cells, a human hepatocyte cell line, was achieved when the crude extract was combined with nisin, Using scanning electron microscopy, interferences in the cell membrane of A. acidoterrestris could be observed after treatment with the crude extract. The results presented in this study indicate that the crude extract of the endophyte F. flavus has biotechnological potential in the food industry, especially for the treatment of orange juices through the control of A. acidoterrestris.

Abstract
Using a solvent formed of alkali and urea, chitosan was successfully dissolved in a new solvent via the freezing⁻thawing process. Subsequently, quaternized chitosan (QC) was synthesized using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) as the cationic reagent under different incubation times and temperatures in a homogeneous system. QCs cannot be synthesized at temperatures above 60 °C, as gel formation will occur. The structure and properties of the prepared QC were characterized and quaternary groups were comfirmed to be successfully incorporated onto chitosan backbones. The degree of substitution (DS) ranged from 16.5% to 46.8% and the yields ranged from 32.6% to 89.7%, which can be adjusted by changing the molar ratio of the chitosan unit to CHPTAC and the reaction time. QCs inhibits the growth of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris effectively. Thus, this work offers a simple and green method of functionalizing chitosan and producing quaternized chitosan with an antibacterial effect for potential applications in the food industry.
