Production of bacterial cellulose-based peptidopolysaccharide BC-L with anti-listerial properties using a co-cultivation strategy. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133047. [PMID: 38857722 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133047] [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: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been found extensive applications in diverse domains for its exceptional attributes. However, the lack of antibacterial properties hampers its utilization in food and biomedical sectors. Leucocin, a bacteriocin belonging to class IIa, is synthesized by Leuconostoc that demonstrates potent efficacy against the foodborne pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes. In the current study, co-culturing strategy involving Kosakonia oryzendophytica FY-07 and Leuconostoc carnosum 4010 was used to confer anti-listerial activity to BC, which resulted in the generation of leucocin-containing BC (BC-L). The physical characteristics of BC-L, as determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), were similar to the physical characteristics of BC. Notably, the experimental results of disc diffusion and growth curve indicated that the BC-L film exhibited a potent inhibitory effect against L. monocytogenes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that BC-L exerts its bactericidal activity by forming pores on the bacterial cell wall. Despite the BC-L antibacterial mechanism, which involves pore formation, the mammalian cell viability remained unaffected by the BC-L film. The measurement results of zeta potential indicated that the properties of BC changed after being loaded with leucocin. Based on these findings, the anti-listerial BC-L generated through this co-culture system holds promise as a novel effective antimicrobial agent for applications in meat product preservation and packaging.

Abstract
Foodborne illnesses occur due to the contamination of fresh, frozen, or processed food products by some pathogens. Among several pathogens responsible for the illnesses, Listeria monocytogenes is one of the lethal bacteria that endangers public health. Several preexisting and novel technologies, especially non-thermal technologies are being studied for their antimicrobial effects, particularly toward L. monocytogenes. Some noteworthy emerging technologies include ultraviolet (UV) or light-emitting diode (LED), pulsed light, cold plasma, and ozonation. These technologies are gaining popularity since no heat is employed and undesirable deterioration of food quality, especially texture, and taste is devoided. This review aims to summarize the most recent advances in non-thermal processing technologies and their effect on inactivating L. monocytogenes in food products and on sanitizing packaging materials. These technologies use varying mechanisms, such as photoinactivation, photosensitization, disruption of bacterial membrane and cytoplasm, etc. This review can help food processing industries select the appropriate processing techniques for optimal benefits, in which the structural integrity of food can be preserved while simultaneously destroying L. monocytogenes present in foods. To eliminate Listeria spp., different technologies possess varying mechanisms such as rupturing the cell wall, formation of pyrimidine dimers in the DNA through photochemical effect, excitation of endogenous porphyrins by photosensitizers, generating reactive species, causing leakage of cellular contents and oxidizing proteins and lipids. These technologies provide an alternative to heat-based sterilization technologies and further development is still required to minimize the drawbacks associated with some technologies.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilm has brought a lot of intractable problems in food and biomedicine areas. Conventional biofilm control mainly focuses on inactivation and removal of biofilm. However, with robust construction and enhanced resistance, the established biofilm is extremely difficult to eradicate. According to the mechanism of biofilm development, biofilm formation can be modulated by intervening in the key factors and regulatory systems. Therefore, regulation of biofilm formation has been proposed as an alternative way for effective biofilm control. This review aims to provide insights into the regulation of biofilm formation in food and biomedicine. The underlying mechanisms for early-stage biofilm establishment are summarized based on the key factors and correlated regulatory networks. Recent developments and applications of novel regulatory strategies such as anti/pro-biofilm agents, nanomaterials, functionalized surface materials and physical strategies are also discussed. The current review indicates that these innovative methods have contributed to effective biofilm control in a smart, safe and eco-friendly way. However, standard methodology for regulating biofilm formation in practical use is still missing. As biofilm formation in real-world systems could be far more complicated, further studies and interdisciplinary collaboration are still needed for simulation and experiments in the industry and other open systems.

Abstract
In vivo biological regulations of the allergenicity of tropomyosin (TM) treated by cold plasma (CP) were investigated by in vivo mouse model. The sensitization models of Balb/c mice were successfully established. CP treatment reduced the allergic symptoms of mice and regulated the Th1/Th2 balance to prevent allergy by activating Treg cells, which was deduced by serum and cytokines analysis. For intestinal flora analysis, allergy occurrence was accompanied by the decreased species abundance and the increased species diversity of intestinal flora. The significant species composition difference between the TM group and the PBS group showed a possible connection between bacterial diversity and allergy. Furthermore, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Parabacteroides, Alloprevotella, Bacteroides, and Lachnospiraceae could relate to allergy occurrence. Intestinal section analysis suggested that allergy occurrence was accompanied by the damaged intestinal structure, and CP treatment could relieve the damage caused by an allergy.

Investigating synergism and mechanism during sequential inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus with ultrasound followed by UV/peracetic acid. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 462:132609.

Abstract
This study explored the inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by ultrasound (US) and peracetic acid (PAA) coupling with UV simultaneously (US/PAA/UV) or sequentially (US→PAA/UV) for the strengthened disinfection. The result showed that US→PAA/UV system had excellent inactivation performance with 5.05-log in a short time. Besides US, UV, PAA and free radicals, the contribution of the synergy of all components to the entire disinfection were obvious under US→PAA/UV system. The inactivation performance of S. aureus significantly decreased with the increase of humic acid (HA) concentration and pH; however, the rising temperature contributes to the enhancement of the inactivation efficiency under the US→PAA/UV system. The disinfection mechanism includes a decrease of cell agglomeration, a loss of intracellular substance, and changes of cell structure and membrane permeability, as evidenced through a nanoparticle size analyzer, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and laser confocal microscopy (LSCM). Furthermore, the inactivation efficiency of the US→PAA/UV system for the total bacteria from actual sewage (the untreated inflow) was high, which reached 3.86-log. In general, the pretreatment of US combined with UV/PAA showed a promising application in the rapid disinfection of sewage.

Abstract
The cellulose-based hydrogel has occupied a pivotal position in almost all walks of life. However, the native cellulose can not be directly used for preparing hydrogel due to the complex non-covalent interactions. Some literature has discussed the dissolution and modification of cellulose but has yet to address the influence of the pretreatment on the as-prepared hydrogels. Firstly, the "touching" of cellulose by derived and non-derived solvents was introduced, namely, the dissolution of cellulose. Secondly, the "conversion" of functional groups on the cellulose surface by special routes, which is the modification of cellulose. The above-mentioned two parts were intended to explain the changes in physicochemical properties of cellulose by these routes and their influences on the subsequent hydrogel preparation. Finally, the "reinforcement" of cellulose-based hydrogels by physical and chemical techniques was summarized, viz., improving the mechanical properties of cellulose-based hydrogels and the changes in the multi-level structure of the interior of cellulose-based hydrogels.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of beef fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum (L) PTCC 1965, Lactiplantibacillus (L) plantarum subsp. plantarum PTCC 1745, and Lactiplantibacillus (L) pentosus PTCC 1872 bacteria on the growth of pathogenic bacteria, including Salmonella (S) Typhi PTCC 1609 and Staphylococcus (S) aureus PTCC 1826. The growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and the effect of fermentation on pathogenic bacteria were studied using Weibull: biphasic linear and competitive models. The results showed that the rate of pH reduction was lower in the early stages and increased as the microbial population grew. The α parameter was lower for L. plantarum subsp. plantarum compared to L. paraplantarum and L. pentosus. The comparison of the α parameter for bacterial growth and pH data showed that the time interval required to initiate the rapid growth phase of the bacteria was much shorter than that for the rapid pH reduction phase. The pH value had a 50% greater effect on the inactivation of S. Typhi when compared to the samples containing L. plantarum subsp. plantarum and L. pentosus. The same parameter was reported to be 72% for the inactivation of St. aureus. In general, during the fermentation process, LAB strains caused a decrease in pH, and as a result, reduced the growth of pathogens, which improves consumer health and increases the food safety of fermented meat.

Abstract
Blueberry is a class of berries with high nutritional and economic value but has short shelf life due to its rapid softening at room temperature. This study investigated the effects of plasma-activated water (PAW) treatment on the softening quality and cell wall pectin metabolism of blueberries stored for 10 d at 25 °C after being immersed in PAW for 10 min. PAW was generated by plasma with different times (1 and 2 min), fixed frequency (10 kHz) and fixed voltage (50 kV). The analysis showed that the firmness of PAW-treated fruit significantly increased (P < 0.05) by 36.4% after 10 d storage. PAW treatment controlled the solubilization of pectin from water-insoluble to water-soluble. The activities of cell wall pectin-degrading enzymes like polygalacturonase (PG), β-galactosidase (β-Gal) and pectin methylesterase (PME) in PAW-treated blueberries decreased by 15.7%, 18.3%, and 27.9%, respectively, on day 10. After PAW treatment, blueberries also maintained better postharvest quality (firmness, colour, soluble solid content and anthocyanin content) and intact epidermal waxy and cell wall structure. These results suggested that PAW showed great potential for postharvest fresh-keeping of blueberry.

Abstract
An efficient microbiological decontamination protocol is required to guarantee safe food products for the final consumer to avoid foodborne illnesses. Ultrasound and non-thermal technology combinations represent innovative methods adopted by the food industry for food preservation and safety. Ultrasound power is commonly used with a frequency between 20 and 100 kHz to obtain an “exploit cavitation effect”. Microbial inactivation via ultrasound derives from cell wall damage, the oxidation of intracellular amino acids and DNA changing material. As an inactivation method, it is evaluated alone and combined with other non-thermal technologies. The evidence shows that ultrasound is an important green technology that has a good decontamination effect and can improve the shelf-life of products. This review aims to describe the applicability of ultrasound in the food industry focusing on microbiological decontamination, reducing bacterial alterations caused by food spoilage strains and relative foodborne intoxication/infection.

Abstract
The toxic reactive oxygen species (toxROS) is the reactive oxygen species (ROS) beyond the normal concentration of cells, which has inactivation and disinfection effects on foodborne bacteria. However, foodborne bacteria can adapt and survive by physicochemical regulation of antioxidant systems, especially through central carbon metabolism (CCM), which is a significant concern for food safety. It is thus necessary to study the antioxidant regulation mechanisms of CCM in foodborne bacteria under toxROS stresses. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide an update and comprehensive overview of the reconfiguration of CCM fluxes in foodborne bacteria that respond to different toxROS stresses. In this review, two key types of toxROS including exogenous toxROS (exo-toxROS) and endogenous toxROS (endo-toxROS) are introduced. Exo-toxROS are produced by disinfectants, such as H2O2 and HOCl, or during food non-thermal processing such as ultraviolet (UV/UVA), cold plasma (CP), ozone (O3), electrolyzed water (EW), pulsed electric field (PEF), pulsed light (PL), and electron beam (EB) processing. Endo-toxROS are generated by bioreagents such as antibiotics (aminoglycosides, quinolones, and β-lactams). Three main pathways for CCM in foodborne bacteria under the toxROS stress are also highlighted, which are glycolysis (EMP), pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). In addition, energy metabolisms throughout these pathways are discussed. Finally, challenges and future work in this area are suggested. It is hoped that this review should be beneficial in providing insights for future research on bacterial antioxidant CCM defence under both exo-toxROS stresses and endo-toxROS stresses.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Previous studies have shown the great potential of using plasma-activated water (PAW) on improving agriculture seed germination, however, information on the influence of PAW on crop plantlet juice remains scanty. In this research, the effect of PAW generated by atmosphere pressure Ar-O2 plasma jet for 1-5 min on wheat seed germination, seedling growth and nutritional properties of wheat plantlet juice was investigated. Results revealed that all PAWs could enhance wheat seed germination and seedling growth in 7 days by improving the germination rate, germination index, fresh weight, dry weight and vigour index, and especially that PAW activated for 3 min (PAW-3) showed the best overall performance. In addition, the application of PAWs enhanced the nutritional properties of wheat plantlet juice from those grown for 14 days by improving total soluble solids, protein content, photosynthetic pigments, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, enzyme activity, free amino acids and minerals content, and the best enhancement was also observed in PAW-3. It was concluded that PAWs would be an effective technique to enhance the growth and nutritional properties of crop sprouts, which could be served as functional foods in many forms.

Abstract
In this study, a novel citral nanoemulsion (CLNE) was prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The synergistic antibacterial mechanism of ultrasound combined with CLNE against Salmonella Typhimurium and the effect on the physicochemical properties of purple kale were investigated. The results showed that the combined treatment showed obviously inactivate effect of S. Typhimurium. Treatment with 0.3 mg/mL CLNE combined with US (20 kHz, 253 W/cm2) for 8 min reduced S. Typhimurium populations in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) by 9.05 log CFU/mL. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry (FCM), protein and nucleic acid release assays showed that the US combination CLNE disrupt the integrity of S. Typhimurium membranes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) detection indicated that US+CLNE exacerbated oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in cell membranes. The morphological changes of cells after different treatments by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) illustrated that the synergistic effect of US+CLNE treatment changed the morphology and internal microstructure of the bacteriophage cells. Application of US+CLNE on purple kale leaves for 6 min significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the number of S. Typhimurium, but no changes in the physicochemical properties of the leaves were detected. This study elucidates the synergistic antibacterial mechanism of ultrasound combined with CLNE and provides a theoretical basis for its application in food sterilization.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of dielectric barrier discharge-air cold plasma (DBD-ACP, 15-35 kV, 2-12 min) on the quality of foxtail millets. The L and b* values were evaluated by a digital colorimeter representing that the color of millets was significantly changed at 25 kV for 4-12 min or at 35 kV for 2-12 min. The results were consistent with the change of total yellow pigment in millets, indicating that DBD-ACP damaged the carotenoids if the treatment condition was too high. The activity of lipoxygenase and lipase, involving the oxidation and hydrolysis of lipids of millet, decreased significantly induced by DBD-ACP. For example, the lipoxygenase and lipase activity of Mizhi millet was decreased from 44.0 to 18.7 U g-1min-1, 56.0-15.1 U/(mg pro) (p<0.05) after being exposed to 25 kV for 2-12 min, respectively. Changes of color, lipoxygenase and lipase activity, and malondialdehyde content of millets were determined during accelerated storage (40 ± 2°C and 75% Relative Humidity) for 15 days after being treated by DBD-ACP under 15 and 25 kV for 4 min. Results showed that millets treated by DBD-ACP at 15 kV kept a better color with lower malondialdehyde content, and lower lipoxygenase and lipase activity compared to control. This work implied that DBD-ACP is an underlying approach for the storage of foxtail millets.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of plasma-mediated oxidative stress on the post-treatment viability of Listeria monocytogenes at the physiological and molecular levels. METHODS AND RESULTS 107 CFU/ml L. monocytogenes in 10 ml phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was treated with atmospheric non-thermal plasma for 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 s respectively. Optical diagnostics using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) confirmed that dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma was a significant source of ample exogenous reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). The development of extracellular main long-lived species was associated with plasma exposure time, accompanied by a massive accumulation of intracellular ROS in L. monocytogenes (p < 0.01). With the exception of virulence genes (hly), most oxidation resistance genes (e.g. sigB, perR, lmo2344, lmo2770 and trxA) and DNA repair gene (recA) were upregulated significantly (p < 0.05). A visible fragmentation in genomic DNA and a decline in the secretion of extracellular proteins and haemolytic activity (p < 0.01) were noticed. The quantitate oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) and extracellular acidification rates (ECARs) confirmed the viability attenuation from the aspect of energy metabolism. Survival assay in a real food system (raw milk) further suggested not only the viability attenuation, but also the resuscitation potential and safety risk of mild plasma-treated cells during post-treatment storage. CONCLUSION DBD plasma had the potential to inactivate and attenuate the virulence of L. monocytogenes, and it was recommended that plasma exposure time longer than 120 s was more suitable for attenuating viability and avoiding the recovery possibility of L. monocytogenes in raw milk within 7 days. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The current results presented a strategy to inactivate and attenuate the viability of L. monocytogenes, which could serve as a theoretical basis for better application of non-thermal plasma in food in an effort to effectively combat foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
The bactericidal effect of dielectric barrier discharge-atmospheric cold plasma (DBD-ACP, 20, and 30 kV) against Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris on the saline solution and apple juice was investigated. Results show that DBD-ACP is effective for the inactivation of A. acidoterrestris by causing significant changes in cell membrane permeability and bacterial morphology. The effect of culture temperatures on the resistance of A. acidoterrestris to DBD-ACP was also studied. A. acidoterrestris cells grown at 25°C had the lowest resistance but it was gradually increased as the culture temperature was increased (25–45°C) (p < 0.05). Moreover, results from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) analysis showed that the increase in the culture temperature can gradually cause the decreased level of cyclohexaneundecanoic acid in the cell membrane of A. acidoterrestris (p < 0.05). In contrast, cyclopentaneundecanoic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid showed an increasing trend in which the fluidity of the bacterial cell membrane decreased. This study shows a specific correlation between the resistance of A. acidoterrestris and the fatty acid composition of the cell membrane to DBD-ACP.

Abstract
Hybridising plasma functionalized water and ultrasound pretreatment for the enzymatic hydrolysis (HPUEH) of Larimichthys polyactis was evaluated by adopting Plackett-Burman design for parametric screening of six key variables, and Box-Behnken design for optimizing three most significant variables including plasma generating voltage (PV), ultrasound treatment time (UT), and enzyme concentration (EC). The models developed for predicting the degree of hydrolysis (DoH), protein recovery (PVY), and soluble protein content (SPC) were sufficiently fitted to the experimental data (R2 ≥ 0.966) with non-significant lack of fit and used for determining the optimum conditions as PV of 70 V, UT of 15 min, and EC of 1.787%, with predictive values of 27.74%, 85.62%, and 3.28 mg/mL for DoH, PVY, and SPC, respectively. HPUEH presented hydrolysates with smaller peptide sizes and molecular weights, enhanced DoH, PVY, SPC, amino acids and antioxidant activity, but reduced emulsifying and foaming properties when compared with conventional enzymatic hydrolysis.

Abstract
Linear (first-order) and non-linear (Weibull, biphasic, and log-logistic) models were evaluated for predicting the inactivation kinetics of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes on grass carp treated by a novel technique (UPFB) combining ultrasound (US) with plasma functionalized buffer (PFB). Results showed that UPFB was more effective for inactivating bacteria when compared with individual applications of US or PFB with reductions of 3.92 and 3.70 log CFU/g for Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes, respectively. Compared with the linear model, the three non-linear models presented comparable performances and were more suitable for describing the inactivation kinetics with superior adj-R2 (0.962-0.999), accuracies (0.970-1.006) and bias factors (0.995-1.031), and by assessing the strengths of evidence, weights of evidence and evidence ratios for the models, the biphasic model was identified as the best fit model. The current study provided new insights into the effective evaluation of decontamination methods.

Abstract
Colletotrichum asianum (C. asianum) is a new pathogenic fungus that causes mango anthracnose. Cold plasma is a novel non-thermal decontamination technology, which has been proven to be effective in controlling postharvest fungus. Herein, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma was used to treat C. asianum spores in sterile phosphate-buffered saline, the damages in subcellular structures of C. asianum and inhibition of mango anthracnose were evaluated. Results showed that after 9 min treatment, the spore germination rate and spore viability were decreased by 95.48% and 98.82%, respectively, and the subcellular structures were damaged (P < 0.05), leading to spores death. Besides, DBD plasma treatments could control mango anthracnose and maintain mango quality, and the disease incidence and lesion diameter of mango treated for 9 min were decreased by 48.00% and 62.95%, respectively. Therefore DBD plasma inactivated C. asianum spore, providing an alternative technique for preventing and controlling mango anthracnose.

Functional Genomics Identified Novel Genes Involved in Growth at Low Temperatures in Listeria monocytogenes. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0071022.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a foodborne pathogen that can cause severe human illness. Standard control measures for restricting bacterial growth, such as refrigeration, are often inadequate as Lm grows well at low temperatures. To identify genes involved in growth at low temperatures, a powerful functional genomics method Tn-seq was performed in this study. This genome-wide screening comprehensively identified the known and novel genetic determinants involved in low-temperature growth. A novel gene lmo1366, encoding rRNA methyltransferase, was identified to play an essential role in Lm growth at 16°C. In contrast, the inactivation of lmo2301, a gene encoding the terminase of phage A118, significantly enhanced the growth of Lm at 16°C. The deletion of lmo1366 or lmo2301 resulted in cell morphology alterations and impaired the growth rate in milk and other conditions at low temperatures. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the Δlmo1366 and Δlmo2301 mutants exhibited altered transcriptional patterns compared to the wild-type strain at 16°C with significant differences in genes involved in ribosome structural stability and function, and membrane biogenesis, respectively. This work uncovered novel genetic determinants involved in Lm growth at 16°C, which could lead to a better understanding of how bacteria survive and multiply at low temperatures. Furthermore, these findings could potentially contribute to developing novel antibacterial strategies under low-temperature conditions. IMPORTANCEListeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive pathogen that contributes to foodborne outbreaks due to its ability to survive at low temperatures. However, the genetic determinants of Lm involved in growth at low temperatures have not been fully defined. Here, the genetic determinants involved in the low-temperature growth of Lm were comprehensively identified on a genome-wide scale by Tn-seq. The gene lmo1366, encoding rRNA methyltransferase, was identified essential for growth under low-temperature conditions. On the other hand, the gene lmo2301, encoding terminase of phage A118, plays a negative role in bacterial growth at low temperatures. The transcriptomic analysis revealed the potential mechanisms. These findings lead to a better understanding of how bacteria survive and multiply at low temperatures and could provide unique targets for novel antibacterial strategies under low-temperature conditions.

Abstract
The effects of plasma functionalized water (PFW) and its combination with ultrasound (UPFW) on the functional and bioactive properties of small yellow croaker protein hydrolysates (SYPHs) produced from three enzymes were investigated. Fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy indicated that SYPHs tended to unfold with increasing intensity and shift in wavelengths to more flexible conformations under PFW and UPFW treatments. Particle size distribution and microstructure analysis revealed that treatments could disrupt aggregation of protein molecules to increase the roughness, specific surface area, and decrease the particle size of peptides during hydrolysis. The partially denatured structure of SYPHs induced by treatments increased the susceptibility of the fish proteins to exogenous enzymes, thereby accelerating the hydrolytic process to yield peptides with improved solubility, decreased emulsifying and foaming properties, and improved enzyme-specific antioxidant properties. The results revealed that the functionality of SYPHs was influenced by the treatment method and the enzyme type employed.

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

Abstract
The effects of combined treatment (PAL-U) of plasma-activated liquid (PAL) including plasma-activated water (PAW) and plasma-activated buffer solution (PABS) and ultrasound (U) for the degradation of chlorothalonil fungicide on tomato fruit was investigated. Distilled water and buffer solution were activated by radiofrequency plasma jet for durations of 1, 3, 5, and 10 min to obtain PAL1 to PAL10. Fruits were immersed in PAL for 15 min and also in distilled water with sonication for 15 min for individual treatments, and in PAL with sonication for 15 min for combined treatments. The maximum chlorothalonil fungicide residues were reduced by 89.28 and 80.23% for PAW10-U and PABS10-U, respectively. HPLC-MS characterization revealed chlorothalonil degradation pathway and formation of 2,4,5-trichloroisophthalonitrile, 2,4-dichloroisophthalonitrile, 4-chloroisophthalonitrile, isophthalonitrile and phenylacetonitrile as degradation products. Treatments also showed no negative effects on tomato quality. Therefore, PAL and PAL-U treatments could serve as effective methods for degrading pesticides on tomatoes.

Abstract
Tropomyosin (TM) is a major allergen in crustaceans, which often causes allergy and is fatal to some consumers. Currently, the most effective treatment is to avoid ingesting TM, although most adverse events occur in accidental ingestion. In this review, the molecular characterization, epitopes, cross-reactivity, and pathogenesis of TM are introduced and elucidated. Modification of TM by traditional processing methods such as heat treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, and innovative processing technologies including high-pressure treatment, cold plasma (CP), ultrasound, pulsed electric field (PEF), pulsed ultraviolet, microwave and irradiation are discussed in detail. Particularly, enzymolysis, PEF, and CP technologies show great potential for modifying TM and more studies are needed to verify their effectiveness for the seafood industry. Possible mechanisms and the advantages/disadvantages of these technologies for the mitigation of TM allergenicity are also highlighted. Further work should be conducted to investigate the allergenicity caused by protein segments such as epitopes, examine the interaction sites between the allergen and the processing techniques and reveal the reduction mechanism of allergenicity.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate effects of plasma-activated solution (PAS) on the cell biology of Staphylococcus aureus and qualities of fresh lettuce leaves. PAS was prepared by dielectric barrier discharge plasma and incubated with S. aureus for 10–30 min or with lettuces for 10 min. Effects on cell biology were evaluated with microscopic images, cell integrity, and chemical modification of cellular components. Effects on lettuce quality were estimated with the viable microbial counts, color, contents of vitamin C and chlorophyll, and surface integrity. PAS reduced S. aureus population by 4.95-log and resulted in increased cell membrane leakage. It also resulted in increased contents of reactive oxygen species in cells, C=O bonds in peptidoglycan, and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine content in cellular DNA, and reduced ratios of unsaturated/saturated fatty acids in the cell membrane. PAS treatment reduced bacterial load on fresh lettuce and had no negative effects on the quality. Data suggest that PAS can be used for the disinfection of ready-to-eat fresh vegetables.

Abstract
Cellulose is a most abundant natural biopolymer, however, the strong hydrogen bonding system makes cellulose hard to dissolve, limiting its further applications. In this study, an innovative cold plasma (CP) technology was used to modify cellulose from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) bagasse pulp. Dissolution, structure, and surface chemistry of cellulose before and after CP treatment were investigated. Results showed that the dissolution rate of cellulose after different CP treatment time (3-12 min) and operating voltage (40-70 kV) was significantly improved. Roughness, even holes (CP treatment 9 min with 50 kV) and breakage (CP treatment 9 min with 70 kV) were observed on the surface. The crystallinity index decreased from 62.31% (control) to 60.88% (CP treatment 3 min with 50 kV). The hydrogen bonding force was weakened and the peak intensity of CO and CO stretching vibration groups were enhanced. Therefore, CP-modified cellulose may be applied more in future, such as biological films for food future packaging.

Abstract
Food safety is veryimportant in our daily life. In food processing or disinfection, microorganisms are commonly exposed to oxidative stress perturbations. However, microorganisms can adapt and respond to physicochemical interventions, leading to difficulty and complexity for food safety assurance. Therefore, understanding the response mechanisms of microbes and providing an overview of the responses under oxidative stress conditions are beneficial for ensuring food safety for the industry. The current review takes the metabolomics approach to reveal small metabolite signatures and key pathway alterations during oxidative stress at the molecular and technical levels. These alterations are involved in primary oxidative stress responses due to inactivation treatments such as using hypochlorite (HOCl), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), electrolyzed water (EW), irradiation, pulsed light (PL), electron beam (EB), and secondary oxidative stress responses due to exposures to excessive conditions such as heat, pressure, acid, and alkaline. Details on the putative origin of exogenous or endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) are discussed, with particular attention paid to their effects on lipid, amino acid, nucleotide, and carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, mechanisms on counteracting oxidative stresses, stabilization of cell osmolality as well as energy provision for microbes to survive are also discussed.

Inactivation kinetics and cell envelope damages of foodborne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Enteritidis treated with cold plasma. Food Microbiol 2021; 101:103891.

Abstract
In recent years, more attention has been paid to the application of cold plasma (CP) in eliminating foodborne pathogenic bacteria. This work investigated CP effects on inactivation kinetics and cell envelopes of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis). Bacterial suspensions were treated with dielectric barrier discharge atmospheric CP at 75 kV for different treatment time. Three regression models were tested for estimating inactivation kinetics. Reactive species generated in plasma, the appearance and integrity of bacterial cells, the activity and secondary structure of enzymes in the cell envelope, and molecular docking, were measured for evaluating the envelope damages. Results indicated that Log-linear model was suitable for L. monocytogenes and the Weibull model was suitable for S. Enteritidis. S. Enteritidis was more sensitive to short-lived reactive species (such as OH radicals) in plasma than L. monocytogenes, and the cell envelope of S. Enteritidis was more severely damaged (the increased membrane permeability and leakage of intracellular substances) after plasma treatment. Interestingly, compared with S. Enteritidis, the decrease in the activity of enzymes existing in the cell envelope of L. monocytogenes did not contribute significantly to the death of bacteria. Molecular docking further suggested that the decrease in the enzyme activity might be due to the modification of the enzyme, by the interaction between reactive species in plasma (H2O2) and amino acid residues of the enzyme through the hydrogen bond.

Abstract
A novel technique for treating grass carp by combining plasma functionalized liquids and ultrasound to inactivate bacteria was developed. The effects of the plasma functionalized liquids (PFL) including plasma functionalized water (PFW) and buffer (PFB) and their respective combination with ultrasound treatment (USPFW and USPFB) on the oxidative and physical qualities of grass carp were also investigated. Individual applications of PFW and PFB significantly reduced the populations of Escherichia coli and Shewanella putrefaciens in the range of 0.31-1.18 log CFU/g, compared with the control with a reduction of 0.18 log CFU/g, while combined treatments of USPFW and USPFB presented additional reductions of 0.05-0.65 log CFU/g, with potential synergy demonstrated for PFW and ultrasound. The treatment resulted in improved biomedical index and nutritional value of fatty acids and lipids, protein structural unfolding, increased lipid oxidation and protein degradation with values within the acceptable limits, and the combined treatment was more effective for retarding the hardness reduction in grass carp, while the colour change was also significantly affected, resulting in increased whiteness. The results indicated that the combined treatments may be a promising approach to improving the quality of seafood products.

Abstract
A novel method of thermoultrasound-assisted plasma functionalized buffer (PFB) for decontaminating grass carp was evaluated using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) with processing variables including PFB generating voltage (PV), ultrasound treatment time (UT) and temperature (TP). The predicted models were found to be significant (p < 0.05) and displayed sufficient fitness with experimental data as indicated by non-significant (p > 0.05) lack of fit and high coefficient of determination (R2≥0.97) values. The optimum decontamination conditions for the responses of S. putrefaciens and S. Typhimurium were PV of 66 V, UT of 14.90 min and TP of 60 ℃, achieving reductions of 4.40 and 3.97 log CFU/g, respectively, with a desirability of 0.998. Among the variables, temperature presented higher significance for inactivating bacteria and the production of volatile basic nitrogen and lipid peroxidation under the optimized conditions were within the limits of freshness for grass carp. Additionally, the effects of PFB and the optimized thermoultrasound-assisted PFB decontamination were mild on the microstructure of grass carp with slight ruptures and loose myofibril structures, indicating the potential of thermoultrasound-assisted PFB for seafood products decontamination with reduced processing time.

Abstract
This study was carried out to characterize antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and the phenolic and flavonoids profile of postbiotic of Pediococcus acidilactici and to evaluate the effects of postbiotics (10% and 50%) alone and in combination with chitosan coating (1%) on the microbial and chemical quality of chicken breast fillets during storage at 4 °C. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of the postbiotics were found to be 1291.02 ± 1.5 mg/L TEAC and 2336.11 ± 2.36 mg/L GAE, respectively. The most abundant phenolic was vanillic acid, followed by t-caffeic, gallic, and caftaric acids. The postbiotic-chitosan (50% + 1%) combination decreased L. monocytogenes and S. Typhimurium counts by 1.5 and 2.1 log10 CFU/g, respectively, compared to the control (P < 0.05). This combination decreased the total viable count (TVC), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and psychrotrophic bacteria count compared to the control (P < 0.05). No differences were found in thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values among the samples during storage (P > 0.05). Postbiotic treatment did not significantly change the pH values and color properties of the breast fillets (P > 0.05). Postbiotic-chitosan combinations extended the shelf-life by up to 12 days compared to the control. In conclusion, the postbiotic-chitosan combination can be used to preserve and improve the microbial quality of chicken meat products.

Abstract
This study was aimed at providing new insights on the response of bacterial cell membranes to ultrasound exposure. Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 cells were exposed to different ultrasound treatments (power intensities of 64, 191, 372, and 573 W/cm2, frequency of 20 kHz, pulsed mode of 2 sec: 2 sec) and the dynamic changes in cell viability within 27 min were assessed. With an increase in ultrasonic intensity and prolonged duration, a 0.76-3.52 log CFU/mL reduction in E. coli populations was attained. The alterations in the sensitivity of ultrasound-treated cells to antimicrobial compounds were evaluated by exposure to thyme essential oil nanoemulsion (TEON). The treatment reduced the E. coli population by 2.16-7.10 log CFU/mL, indicating the effects of ultrasonic field on facilitating the antibacterial efficacy of TEON. Ultrasonic-treated E. coli cells also displayed remarkable morphological and ultrastructural damages with destroyed membrane integrity and misshaped cell structures, which was observed by electron microscopy analysis. Significant increase in outer and inner membrane permeability, along with the cytoplasmic leakage and membrane depolarization were assessed utilizing spectrophotometry. For the first time, significant reduction in the membrane fluidity in response to ultrasound exposure were investigated. Additional efforts in exploring the effect of ultrasonic field on some bacterial membrane compositions were performed with infrared spectroscopy. In this study, multiple lines of evidence effectively served to elucidate the alterations on cellular membrane structure and property during exposure to sonication that could extend our understanding of the antimicrobial molecular mechanisms of ultrasound.

Abstract
Effects of plasma-activated solution (PAS) on the colour and structure of metmyoglobin (metMb) and oxymyoglobin (oxyMb) were investigated and the relationship between discolouration and structure changes was clarified for the first time. Results showed that the colour of PAS-treated metMb faded first, followed by green discolouration, while PAS-treated oxyMb turned from bright red to reddish-brown and then towards green in the end. It was due to the accumulation of H2O2, nitrite and nitrate in PAS with prolonging plasma treatment times. Also, the low concentrations of active species in PAS cannot influence the colour and structure of metMb and oxyMb. The accumulation of active species of H2O2 in PAS was the main reason for destructing myoglobin structure and transforming its colour with prolonging treatment time. Therefore, the concentration of H2O2 should be adjusted to a low level for treating red meats as their colour appearance is mainly determined by metMb and oxyMb.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of plasma-activated liquid (PAL) including plasma-activated water (PAW) and plasma-activated buffer solution (PABS) for the reduction of chlorothalonil (CTL) and thiram (THM) pesticide residues on tomato fruit. Results revealed that the PAL obtained by using atmospheric air as the feed gas, CTL residues were decreased to 85.3% and 74.2% and THM residues decreased to 79.47 and 72.21% after treatments with PAW10 and PABS10, respectively, and increasing the activation time caused a significant reduction in fungicide residues. In addition, CTL and THM residues were also decreased while increasing the activation time of PAL using Ar/O2 as the feed gas, the concentrations of the CTL residues were decreased to 75.07 and 69.89% for PAW10 and PABS10, respectively and THM residues decreased to 65.89 and 61.91% for PAW10 and PABS10, respectively. Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and electrical conductivity (EC) were increased significantly after plasma treatment, while pH values of both solutions were decreased significantly with activation time. NO3- and NO2- concentrations of PAW increased significantly, while for PABS, NO3- concentration decreased but NO2-, with increasing the plasma activation time. Additionally, washing with PAW and PABS caused no notable negative impact on tomato fruit. Results confirmed that PAL treatments showed a significant reduction of CTL and THM fungicide residues (p < 0.05) in tomato without affecting the quality.
