Zhang Y, Yang J, Peng L, Liao E, Wang H. Behavior of Spoilage Bacterial Communities in Different Cuts of Enshi Black Pork under Refrigerated Storage (4 °C). Foods 2024; 13:2081. [PMID: 38998587 PMCID: PMC11241765 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132081] [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: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The Enshi black pig is a Chinese native breed known for its rich nutrition content and high quality, which has notable traction in the consumer market. In this study, the potential impact of the main commercial cuts from Enshi black pork carcasses (ham, loin, and belly) on the bacteria community of spoiled meat under refrigerated storage (4 °C) was assessed by using a high-throughput sequencing method. Moreover, the spoilage potential of isolated strains from spoiled pork was investigated. The results demonstrated significant differences (p < 0.05) in bacterial community diversity and composition among spoiled ham, loin, and belly samples. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis revealed a total of 20 significantly different potential bacterial biomarkers, with the dominant genera of Pseudomonas, Psychrobacter, Shewanella and Carnobacterium. Additionally, C. divergens THT1-5, isolated from spoiled ham samples, displayed cold adaptation and higher spoilage potential in Enshi black pork. These findings are helpful for identifying key factors contributing to spoilage in Enshi black pork and developing strategies to inhibit bacterial growth during preservation.

Abstract
Novel and sustainable approaches are required to curb the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Within the last decades, antimicrobial peptides, especially bacteriocins, have received increased attention and are being explored as suitable alternatives to antibiotics. Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria as a self-preservation method against competitors. Bacteriocins produced by Staphylococcus, also referred to as staphylococcins, have steadily shown great antimicrobial potential and are currently being considered promising candidates to mitigate the AMR menace. Moreover, several bacteriocin-producing Staphylococcus isolates of different species, especially coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), have been described and are being targeted as a good alternative. This revision aims to help researchers in the search and characterization of staphylococcins, so we provide an up-to-date list of bacteriocin produced by Staphylococcus. Moreover, a universal nucleotide and amino acid-based phylogeny system of the well-characterized staphylococcins is proposed that could be of interest in the classification and search for these promising antimicrobials. Finally, we discuss the state of art of the staphylococcin applications and an overview of the emerging concerns.

[PMID: 37048251 PMCID: PMC10093799 DOI: 10.3390/foods12071430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The control of spoilage microorganisms and foodborne pathogens in meat and meat products is a challenge for food producers, which potentially can be overcome through the combined use of biopreservatives, in the form of a mix of various microbial hurdles. The objective of this work is to systematically review the available knowledge to reveal whether various microbial hurdles applied in combination can pose an effective decontamination strategy for meat and meat products. PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were utilized to identify and evaluate studies through February 2023. Search results yielded 45 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The most common meat biopreservatives were combinations of various starter cultures (24 studies), and the use of mixtures of non-starter protective cultures (13 studies). In addition, studies evaluating antimicrobial combinations of bacteriocins with other bacteriocins, BLIS (bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance), non-starter protective cultures, reuterin, and S-layer protein were included in the review (7 studies). In one study, a biopreservative mixture comprised antifungal protein PgAFP and protective cultures. The literature search revealed a positive effect, in most of the included studies, of the combination of various bacterial antimicrobials in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria in meat products. The main advantages of the synergistic effect achieved were: (1) the induction of a stronger antimicrobial effect, (2) the extension of the spectrum of antibacterial action, and (3) the prevention of the regrowth of undesirable microorganisms. Although further research is required in this area, the combination of various microbial hurdles can pose a green and valuable biopreservation approach for maintaining the safety and quality of meat products.

Abstract
Currently, the problem of pollution due to plastic waste is a major one. The food industry, and especially that of meat and meat products, is intensely polluting, both due to the raw materials used and also to the packaging materials. The aim of the present study was to develop, test, and characterize the biopolymeric materials with applications in the meat industry. To obtain natural materials which are completely edible and biodegradable, different compositions of agar, sodium alginate, water and glycerol were used, thus obtaining 15 films. The films were tested to identify physical properties such as smell, taste, film uniformity and regularity of edges, microstructure, color, transmittance, and opacity. These determinations were supplemented by the evaluation of mechanical properties and solubility. According to the results obtained and the statistical interpretations, three films with the best results were used for packing the slices of dried raw salami. The salami was tested periodically for three months of maintenance in refrigeration conditions, and the results indicate the possibility of substituting conventional materials with the biopolymer ones obtained in the study.
