Zhang J, Zhang Q, Li F. Characteristics of key microorganisms and metabolites in irradiated marbled beef. Meat Sci 2023; 199:109121. [PMID: 36724675 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2023.109121] [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: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Insights into changes in microorganisms and metabolites in irradiated marbled beef may help elucidate the beneficial effects of irradiation on prolonging the shelf life of meat. In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and Pearson's correlation analyses were conducted to detect key microorganisms, core metabolites, and potential correlation between the microbiome and metabolome in marbling beef. Microbiome analysis showed that irradiation effectively eradicated the spoilage bacterium Leuconostoc and reduced the proportions of Carnobacterium and Lactobacillus in marbled beef. Additionally, results of metabolomic analysis involving irradiated marbled beef revealed that metabolites with significant differences were mainly organic acids and their derivatives, lipids, and lipid-like molecules, including six core metabolites. Furthermore, a significant correlation between key bacteria and metabolites was observed. Carnobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Leuconostoc affected the accumulation of core metabolites in irradiated marbled beef by influencing amino acid and lipid metabolism. Characterization of the microbiota and metabolites, as well as clarification of their correlation, can contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms whereby irradiation helps maintain meat quality.

Cheng JH, Wang H, Sun DW. An overview of tropomyosin as an important seafood allergen: Structure, cross-reactivity, epitopes, allergenicity, and processing modifications. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2021; 21:127-147. [PMID: 34954871 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
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
The increasing incidence of food allergy cases is a public health problem of global concern. Producing hypoallergenic foods with high quality, low cost, and eco-friendly is a new trend for the food industry in the coming decades. Food irradiation, a non-thermal food processing technology, is a powerful tool to reduce the allergenicity with the above advantages. This review presents a summary of recent studies about food irradiation to reduce the allergenicity of food, including shellfish, soy, peanut, milk, tree nut, egg, wheat and fish. Principles of food irradiation, including mechanisms of allergenicity-reduction, irradiation types and characteristics, are discussed. Specific effects of food irradiation are also evaluated, involving microbial decontamination, improvement or preservation of nutritional value, harmful substances reduction of food products. Furthermore, the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of food irradiation are analyzed. It is concluded that food irradiation is a safety tool to reduce the allergenicity of food effectively, with high nutritional value and long shelf-life, making it a competitive alternative technology to traditional techniques such as heating treatments. Of note, a combination of irradiation with additional processing may be a trend for food irradiation.
