Tacias-Pascacio VG, Castañeda-Valbuena D, Tavano O, Murcia ÁB, Torrestina-Sánchez B, Fernandez-Lafuente R. Peptides with biological and technofunctional properties produced by bromelain hydrolysis of proteins from different sources: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127244. [PMID: 37806416 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127244] [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: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Bromelains are cysteine peptidases with endopeptidase action (a subfamily of papains), obtained from different parts of vegetable belonging to the Bromeliaceae family. They have some intrinsic medical activity, but this review is focused on their application (individually or mixed with other proteases) to produce bioactive peptides. When compared to other proteases, perhaps due to the fact that they are commercialized as an extract containing several proteases, the hydrolysates produced by this enzyme tends to have higher bioactivities than other common proteases. The peptides and the intensity of their final properties depend on the substrate protein and reaction conditions, being the degree of hydrolysis a determining parameter (but not always positive or negative). The produced peptides may have diverse activities such as antioxidant, antitumoral, antihypertensive or antimicrobial ones, among others or they may be utilized to improve the organoleptic properties of foods and feeds. Evolution of the use of this enzyme in this application is proposed to be based on a more intense direct application of Bromeliaceae extract, without the cost associated to enzyme purification, and the use of immobilized biocatalysts of the enzyme by simplifying the enzyme recovery and reuse, and also making the sequential hydrolysis using diverse proteases possible.

Abstract
The combination of natural antimicrobial peptide BCp12/phenyllatic acid (BCp12/PLA) presents a more efficient antibacterial effect, but its antibacterial mechanism remains unclear. This study studied the synergistic antibacterial mechanism of BCp12 and PLA against S. aureus. The results demonstrated that the BCp12/PLA combination presented a synergistic antibacterial effect against S. aureus, with a fractional inhibitory concentration of 0.05. Furthermore, flow cytometry and scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that BCp12 and PLA synergistically promoted cell membrane disruption compared with the group treated only with one compound, inducing structural cell damage and cytoplasmic leakage. In addition, fluorescence spectroscopy analysis suggested that BCp12 and PLA synergistically influenced genomic DNA. BCp12 and PLA targeted enzymes related to peptidoglycan and DNA synthesis and interacted by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with mur enzymes (murC, murD, murE, murF, and murG), dihydrofolate reductase, and DNA gyrase. Additionally, the combined treatment successfully inhibited microbial reproduction in the storage of pasteurized milk, indicating that the combination of BCp12 and PLA can be used as a new preservative strategy in food systems. Overall, this study could provide potential strategies for preventing and controlling foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
A multifunctional platform that meets the demands of both bacterial detection and elimination is urgently needed because of their harm to human health. Herein, a "sense-and-treat" biosensor was developed by using immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) and AgPt nanoparticle-decorated PCN-223-Fe (AgPt/PCN-223-Fe, PCN stands for porous coordination network) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The synthesized AgPt/PCN-223-Fe not only exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity but also could efficiently kill bacteria under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. This biosensor enabled the colorimetric detection of E. coli O157:H7 in the range of 103-108 CFU/mL with a limit of detection of 276 CFU/mL, accompanied with high selectivity, good reproducibility, and wide applicability in diverse real samples. Furthermore, the biosensor possessed a highly effective antibacterial rate of 99.94% against E. coli O157:H7 under 808 nm light irradiation for 20 min. This strategy can provide a reference for the design of novel versatile biosensors for bacterial discrimination and antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Rapid, specific, and on-site detection of virulent foodborne pathogenic strains plays a key role in controlling food safety. In this work, an ultrasensitive and specific Phage@DNAzyme signal probe was designed to detect foodborne pathogens. The proposed sensing probe was composed of the selected phage and functionalized DNAzyme, which realized the specific recognition of target foodborne pathogens at the strain level and the efficient catalysis of copper(II) based azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction with fluorescent signal, respectively. As a proof of concept, the virulent Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) as the representative analyte was first enriched and purified from the complex food samples by a 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid-modified gold slide. Following, the Phage@DNAzyme probes were specifically combined with the captured E. coli O157: H7 and catalyzed the click reaction between 3-azido-7-hydroxycoumarin and 3-butyn-1-ol with the assistance of Cu(II) to generate a visual fluorescent signal. Finally, the corresponding fluorescent signals were measured by a smartphone to quantify the target concentrations. Under optimized conditions, the bioassay exhibited a wide linear range from 102 to 108 CFU/mL and the detection limit was 50 CFU/mL (S/N = 3). It was further extended to the detection of another foodborne pathogen Salmonella typhimurium with satisfying sensing performances. This work gives a new path for developing rapid, specific, and on-site detection methods for trace levels of pathogenic strains in foods.

Abstract
Traditional methods for detecting foodstuff hazards are time-consuming, inefficient, and destructive. Spectral imaging techniques have been proven to overcome these disadvantages in detecting foodstuff hazards. Compared with traditional methods, spectral imaging could also increase the throughput and frequency of detection. This study reviewed the techniques used to detect biological, chemical, and physical hazards in foodstuffs including ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectroscopy, terahertz (THz) spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, and Raman spectroscopy. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques were discussed and compared. The latest studies regarding machine learning algorithms for detecting foodstuff hazards were also summarized. It can be found that spectral imaging techniques are useful in the detection of foodstuff hazards. Thus, this review provides updated information regarding the spectral imaging techniques that can be used by food industries and as a foundation for further studies.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance (AR) and multidrug resistance (MDR) have been confirmed for all major foodborne pathogens: Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. Of great concern to scientists and physicians are also reports of antibiotic-resistant emerging food pathogens-microorganisms that have not previously been linked to food contamination or were considered epidemiologically insignificant. Since the properties of foodborne pathogens are not always sufficiently recognized, the consequences of the infections are often not easily predictable, and the control of their activity is difficult. The bacteria most commonly identified as emerging foodborne pathogens include Aliarcobacter spp., Aeromonas spp., Cronobacter spp., Vibrio spp., Clostridioides difficile, Escherichia coli, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, Salmonella enterica, Streptocccus suis, Campylobacter jejuni, Helicobacter pylori, Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica. The results of our analysis confirm antibiotic resistance and multidrug resistance among the mentioned species. Among the antibiotics whose effectiveness is steadily declining due to expanding resistance among bacteria isolated from food are β-lactams, sulfonamides, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. Continuous and thorough monitoring of strains isolated from food is necessary to characterize the existing mechanisms of resistance. In our opinion, this review shows the scale of the problem of microbes related to health, which should not be underestimated.

Abstract
The current status of microbiological testing methods for the determination of viable bacteria in complex sample matrices, such as food samples, is the focus of this review. Established methods for the enumeration of microorganisms, particularly, the 'gold standard' agar plating method for the determination of total aerobic viable counts (TVC), bioluminescent detection of total ATP, selective molecular methods (immunoassays, DNA/RNA amplification, sequencing) and instrumental methods (flow cytometry, Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, calorimetry), are analyzed and compared with emerging oxygen sensor-based respirometry techniques. The basic principles of optical O2 sensing and respirometry and the primary materials, detection modes and assay formats employed are described. The existing platforms for bacterial cell respirometry are then described, and examples of particular assays are provided, including the use of rapid TVC tests of food samples and swabs, the toxicological screening and profiling of cells and antimicrobial sterility testing. Overall, O2 sensor-based respirometry and TVC assays have high application potential in the food industry and related areas. They detect viable bacteria via their growth and respiration; the assay is fast (time to result is 2-8 h and dependent on TVC load), operates with complex samples (crude homogenates of food samples) in a simple mix-and-measure format, has low set-up and instrumentation costs and is inexpensive and portable.

Abstract
Cholera and milder diarrheal disease are caused by Vibrio cholerae and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and are still a prominent public health concern. Evaluation of suspicious isolates is essential for the rapid containment of acute diarrhea outbreaks or prevention of epidemic cholera. Existing detection techniques require expensive equipment, trained personnel and are time-consuming. Antibody-based methods are also available, but cost and stability issues can limit their applications for point-of-care testing. This study focused on the selection of single stranded DNA aptamers as simpler, more stable and more cost-effective alternatives to antibodies for the co-detection of AB5 toxins secreted by enterobacteria causing acute diarrheal infections. Cholera toxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin, the key toxigenicity biomarkers of these bacteria, were immobilized on magnetic beads and were used in a SELEX-based selection strategy. This led to the enrichment of sequences with a high % GC content and a dominant G-rich motif as revealed by Next Generation Sequencing. Enriched sequences were confirmed to fold into G-quadruplex structures and the binding of one of the most abundant candidates to the two enterotoxins was confirmed. Ongoing work is focused on the development of monitoring tools for potential environmental surveillance of epidemic choleraand milder diarrheal disease.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and resveratrol (RS) on Listeria monocytogenes and their application in chicken meat preservation. BITC combined with RS (BR) significantly enhanced the antimicrobial activity and inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes within 24 h compared to individual treatment, as well as suppressing bacterial swimming and swarming motility, reducing biofilm formation by 56.4%, increasing cell membrane disruption, and inducing intracellular ROS surges. Synergistic effects were associated with the inhibition of biofilm formation, cell membrane destruction, and ROS production. Biofilm removal facilitated the direct antimicrobial action of BR. RS disrupted cell membrane permeability, allowing more BITC into the cells, resulting in increased intracellular antibacterial levels, cell membrane hyperpolarization, and rapid ROS accumulation. Furthermore, BR visibly slowed the microbial growth in chicken flesh stored at 25 °C and 4 °C. Therefore, BR is expected to be a new strategy for food preservation.

A universal approach for sensitive and rapid detection of different pathogenic bacteria based on aptasensor-assisted SERS technique. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:1529-1543.

Abstract
An assembled-aptasensor based on Fe3O4@Au@Ag nanocomposites grafting onto the gold foil was prepared, which can be developed into a universal approach for sensitive and rapid detection of various pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), and Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri). Firstly, the gold foil paper was modified with thiolated capture probe and SERS tag in proportion, and at the same time, the specific thiolated aptamer probe for corresponding pathogenic bacteria was fixed with Fe3O4@Au@Ag nanocomposites. An obvious Raman signal can be subsequently increased about 106 times by the external electromagnetic field enhancement at the "hot spots" caused by the hybridization of aptamer and capture probe. But in the presence of target pathogenic bacteria, Raman intensity will decrease as Fe3O4@Au@Ag nanocomposites are dissociated from gold foil. Thus, all of the concentrations of the six kinds of pathogenic bacteria both in PBS and liquorice extract showed an obvious negative linear correlation with the Raman intensity of SERS tag in the range of 10-107 CFU/mL with detection limits were all lower than 10 CFU/mL. And there was no significant difference between our method and the plate counting method. Besides, the assembled-aptasensor had superior specific recognition ability even in the mixed interfering bacteria. Our study showed that this assembled-aptasensor had good specific detection ability to a variety of foodborne pathogens based on magnetic field-assisted SERS technique, which can be used for rapid and sensitive detection of a variety of pathogens in complex substrates.

Abstract
A series of hybrid peptides were designed by connecting an antimicrobial peptide Ce(1-8) with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-targeting peptide Lf(28-34) via different linkers. Antimicrobial experimental results indicated that linkers play an essential role in the anti-Gram-negative bacterial activity of the hybrid peptides. Among these hybrid peptides, peptide CL5 with dipeptide rigid linker LP exhibited excellent activity and selectivity against Gram-negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of CL5 against the tested Gram-negative bacteria were 4-32 μM, while the toxicity toward HEK-293 cells was relatively low. It was found that the interactions of the peptides with LPS were crucial for peptide activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Antimicrobial mechanistic studies showed that peptide CL5 contributed to the death of Gram-negative bacterial cells by disrupting the integrity of the bacterial membranes. This study revealed the importance of linker selection in the design of hybrid peptides and provides the basis for the further development of antimicrobial peptides.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination is a primary threat to food safety. Therefore, the persistent development of natural antibacterial agents has become essential work. The present essay attempts to establish a systematic antibacterial activity database to instruct the food application of brevilaterins, promising antibacterial lipopeptides from Brevibacillus laterosporus S62-9. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) were systematically collected from 43 species of standard bacteria and 140 strains of isolated bacteria (food spoilage bacteria and antibiotic-resistant bacteria) using a broth dilution method. The results showed that brevilaterins performed a broad-spectrum inhibitory (0.5~128 μg/mL) and bactericidal activity (1~256 μg/mL), especially efficient against Gram-positive bacteria and spoilage bacteria from grain products. Moreover, brevilaterins not only inhibit and kill multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria but do not readily develop resistance, with a small specific value of MBC/MIC (1~8). Furthermore, brevilaterins would interact with negatively charged sodium dodecyl sulfate and bind amphipathic soybean phospholipid with an affinity constant of KD = 4.70 × 10−4 M. No significant activity difference was found between brevilaterin B and brevilaterin C. Collectively, this work contributed rich antibacterial data of brevilaterins and revealed the antibacterial regularity beneath these data, which can be used as an activity handbook to instruct their application in food safety.

Abstract
The quality of packaged fruit juices is affected during their processing, packaging and storage that might cause deteriorative biological, chemical and physical alterations. Consumption of spoiled juices, either from biological or non-biological sources can pose a potential health hazard for the consumers. Sensitive and reliable methods are required to ensure the quality of fruit juices. Standard analytical methods such as chromatography, spectrophotometry, electrophoresis and titration, that require sophisticated equipment and expertise, are traditionally used to assess the quality of fruit juices. Using biosensors, that are simple, portable and rapid presents a promising alternative to the tedious analytical methods for the detection of various degradation and spoilage indicators formed in the packaged fruit juices. Here, we review the challenges in maintaining the quality of fruit juices and the recent developments in techniques and biosensors for quick analysis of fruit juice components.

Abstract
The concern with food safety in the milk chain begins with the quality of the raw milk. Due to the health hazard that this food can carry when contaminated, the focus of studies has turned to microbiological and chemical contaminants that may be present in raw milk. There is an essential concern about conventional pathogens (Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp., and coagulase-positive Staphylococcus spp.) and emerging pathogens (Arcobacter butzleri, Yersinia enterocolitica, Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis, Helicobacter pylori, and Cronobacter sakazakii) found in raw milk and dairy products. In addition, a growing public health issue has been raised regarding antimicrobial-resistant pathogens and commensal strains found in milk and dairy products. The antibiotic residues in milk can also damage health, such as allergies, and cause technological problems in dairy products processing. This health issue extends to other chemical contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, melamine, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, plasticizers, and additives in milk and dairy products. Other chemical substances formed by microorganisms are also of high importance, such as biogenic amines and mycotoxins. Therefore, this chapter aimed to revise and discuss relevant biological and chemical risks to ensure the safety and quality of raw milk and dairy products.

Abstract
Food contains a variety of poisonous and harmful substances that have an impact on human health. Therefore, food safety is a worldwide public concern. Food detection approaches must ensure the safety of food at every step of the food supply chain by monitoring and evaluating all hazards from every single step of food production. Therefore, early detection and determination of trace-level contaminants in food are one of the most crucial measures for ensuring food safety and safeguarding consumers’ health. In recent years, various methods have been introduced for food safety analysis, including classical methods and biomolecules-based sensing methods. However, most of these methods are laboratory-dependent, time-consuming, costly, and require well-trained technicians. To overcome such problems, developing rapid, simple, accurate, low-cost, and portable food sensing techniques is essential. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a type of porous materials that present high porosity, abundant functional groups, and tunable physical and chemical properties, demonstrates promise in large-number applications. In this regard, MOF-based sensing techniques provide a novel approach in rapid and efficient sensing of pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals, food illegal additives, toxins, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), veterinary drugs, and pesticide residues. This review focused on the rapid screening of MOF-based sensors for food safety analysis. Challenges and future perspectives of MOF-based sensors were discussed. MOF-based sensing techniques would be useful tools for food safety evaluation owing to their portability, affordability, reliability, sensibility, and stability. The present review focused on research published up to 7 years ago. We believe that this work will help readers understand the effects of food hazard exposure, the effects on humans, and the use of MOFs in the detection and sensing of food hazards.

Synergistic antibacterial activity and mechanism of action of nisin/carvacrol combination against Staphylococcus aureus and their application in the infecting pasteurized milk.

Abstract
Synergistic antibacterial effect is a promising way to overcome the challenge of microbial contamination in food. In this study, we detected the synergistic interactions of nisin and carvacrol. The MIC of nisin and carvacrol against S. aureus were 60 and 125 μg/mL, respectively. The FICI and FBCI were 0.28125 and 0.09375, which suggested that the nisin/carvacrol combination presented synergistic antibacterial effect against S. aureus. The antibacterial activity of nisin/carvacrol combination was much higher than their individuals and the dose of antibacterials was obviously reduced. The combination could completely kill S. aureus within 8 h, accelerate the destruction of cell membrane, and inhibit formation of biofilm. Under the intervention of nisin, more CAR could enter cell to hunt intracellular targets, leading to an increase in intracellular antibacterial level. Besides, in the storage of pasteurized milk, the combinational treatment successfully inhibited microbial reproduction at 25 °C and 4 °C. Thus, the combination of nisin and carvacrol was a potential synergistic strategy for food preservation.

Abstract
In this article, we report in detail the use of protective gases to extend the shelf-life of polymer-film-packed foodstuff and reduce the most typical bacteria and microorganisms that negatively affect the quality and lifetime of a given packaging. This article provides significant information about the most important advantages of using protective gases and examples of gases or gas mixtures which can be used for almost every kind of foodstuff depending on the application. We also discuss how protective gases change the level of microorganisms in food using gases and how the shelf-life of food can be enhanced using correct gases or gas mixtures. The article also provides imperative information on the selection of correct protective gases for specific applications, especially for food production, to preserve against the most typical threats which can appear during the packaging or production process. Packaging innovations can reduce the environmental impact of food and polymer packaging waste by prolonging products’ shelf-lives and by reducing waste along the production and distribution chain and at the household level.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus causes a foodborne intoxication due to the production of enterotoxins and shows antimicrobial resistance, as in the case of methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA). Herein, we analyzed 207 ready-to-eat foods collected in Algeria, reporting a S. aureus prevalence of 23.2% (48/207) and respective loads of coagulase positive staphylococci (CPS) ranging from 1.00 ± 0.5 to 5.11 ± 0.24 Log CFU/g. The 48 S. aureus isolates were widely characterized by staphylococcal enterotoxin gene (SEg)-typing and 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer region (ISR)-PCR, as well as by detecting tst and mecA genes, genetic determinants of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 and methicillin resistance, respectively. We found that the S. aureus isolates belonged to seven different SEg-types harboring the following combinations of genes: (1) selW, selX; (2) egc (seG, seI, seM, seN, seO), selW, selX; (3) seA, seH, seK, seQ, selW, selX; (4) seB, selW, selX; (5) seD, selJ, seR, selW, selX; (6) seH, selW, selX, selY; and (7) seA, egc, selW, selX, while among these, 2.1% and 4.2% were tst- and mecA- (staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec-type IV) positive, respectively. Selected strains belonging to the 12 detected ISR-types were resistant towards antimicrobials including benzylpenicillin, ofloxacin, erythromycin, lincomycin, tetracyclin, kanamycin, oxacillin, and cefoxitin; 8.3% (1/12) were confirmed as MRSA and 16.7% (2/12) were multidrug resistant. The present study shows the heterogeneity of the S. aureus population in Algerian ready-to-eat foods as for their toxigenic potential and antimicrobial resistance, shedding the light on the quality and safety related to the consume of ready-to-eat foods in Algeria.

Abstract
Contamination of meats and meat products with foodborne pathogenic bacteria raises serious safety issues in the food industry. The antibacterial activities of phosphorous-fluorine co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (PF-TiO2) were investigated against seven foodborne pathogenic bacteria: Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella Typhimurium, Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, Shewanella putrefaciens, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. PF-TiO2 NPs were synthesized hydrothermally at 250 °C for 1, 3, 6 or 12 h, and then tested at three different concentrations (500 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 20 μg/mL) for the inactivation of foodborne bacteria under UVA irradiation, daylight exposure or dark conditions. The antibacterial efficacies were compared after 30 min of exposure to light. Distinct differences in the antibacterial activities of the PF-TiO2 NPs, and the susceptibilities of tested foodborne pathogenic bacterium species were found. PF-TiO2/3 h and PF-TiO2/6 h showed the highest antibacterial activity by decreasing the living bacterial cell number from ~106 by ~5 log (L. monocytogenes), ~4 log (EHEC), ~3 log (Y. enterolcolitca, S. putrefaciens) and ~2.5 log (S. aureus), along with complete eradication of C. jejuni and S. Typhimurium. Efficacy of PF-TiO2/1 h and PF-TiO2/12 h NPs was lower, typically causing a ~2–4 log decrease in colony forming units depending on the tested bacterium while the effect of PF-TiO2/0 h was comparable to P25 TiO2, a commercial TiO2 with high photocatalytic activity. Our results show that PF-co-doping of TiO2 NPs enhanced the antibacterial action against foodborne pathogenic bacteria and are potential candidates for use in the food industry as active surface components, potentially contributing to the production of meats that are safe for consumption.

Abstract
Humiria balsamifera (Aubl), commonly known as "mirim", is a plant of the Humiriaceae family, which consists of 39 species divided between eight genera: Duckesia, Endopleura, Humiria, Humiriastrum, Hylocara, Sacoglottis, Schistostemon, and Vantenea. This study aimed to characterize H. balsamifera extracts by LC-MS/MS and evaluate their antimicrobial potential through in vitro and in vivo assays. The leaves and stem bark of H. balsamifera were collected and dried at room temperature and then ground in a knife mill. The extracts were prepared with organic solvents in order to increase the polarity index (hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol). The antimicrobial effects of these extracts were evaluated against the following bacterial strains: Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313, Salmonella enterica Typhimurium ATCC 14028, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. The best activity was observed in the ethyl acetate (EALE = 780 µg/mL), methanol (MLE = 780 µg/mL), and hexane (HLE = 1560 µg/mL) leaf extracts against S. aureus. Considering the results for both antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities, the EALE extract was chosen to proceed to the infection assays, which used Tenebrio molitor larvae. The EALE treatment was able to extend the average lifespan of the larvae (6.5 days) in comparison to S. aureus-infected larvae (1 day). Next, the samples were characterized by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer, allowing the identification of 11 substances, including seven flavonoids, substances whose antimicrobial activity is already well-reported in the literature. The number of bioactive compounds found in the chemical composition of H. balsamifera emphasizes its significance in both traditional medicine and scientific research that studies new treatments based on substances from the Brazilian flora.

Abstract
Viable pathogenic bacteria cause serious human diseases via systemic infections and food poisoning. Herein, we constructed a light-up RNA aptamer signaling-CRISPR-Cas13a assay enabling mix-and-read detection of viable pathogenic bacteria. Directly targeting pathogen RNAs via CRISPR-Cas13a allows precisely discriminating viable bacteria from dead bacteria. We introduced a light-up RNA aptamer, Broccoli, serving as the substate of activated CRISPR-Cas13a to monitor the presence of pathogen RNAs, eliminating the need to use chemically labeled RNA substrate. Sequentially, the assay allows a reverse transcription-free, nucleic acid amplification-free, and label-free quantification of RNA targets and viable pathogenic bacteria. It could detect as low as 10 CFU of Bacillus cereus and precisely quantify viable bacteria with a content ranging from 0% to 100% in 105 CFU total bacteria. The quantification of viable bacteria allows more accurately estimating the ability of B. cereus to spoil food. The RNA assay promises its use in point-of-use detection of viable pathogens and biosafety control.

Abstract
Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger technology and is expected to face some difficulties and challenges in various industries due to its transparency, decentralization, tamper-proof nature, and encryption security. Food safety has been paid increasing attention in recent years with economic development. Based on a systematic literature critical analysis, the causes of food safety problems and the state-of-the-art blockchain technology overview, including the definition of blockchain, development history, classification, structure, characteristics, and main applications, the feasibility and application prospects of blockchain technology in plant food safety, animal food safety, and processed food safety were proposed in this review. Finally, the challenges of the blockchain technology itself and the difficulties in the application of food safety were analyzed. This study contributes to the extant literature in the field of food safety by discovering the excellent potential of blockchain technology and its implications for food safety control. Our results indicated that blockchain is a promising technology toward a food safety control, with many ongoing initiatives in food products, but many food-related issues, barriers, and challenges still exist. Nevertheless, it is expected to provide a feasible solution for controlling food safety risks.

Abstract
Pesticide residues in food matrices, threatening the survival and development of humanity, is one of the critical challenges worldwide. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess excellent properties, which include excellent adsorption capacity, tailorable shape and size, hierarchical structure, numerous surface-active sites, high specific surface areas, high chemical stabilities, and ease of modification and functionalization. These promising properties render MOFs as advantageous porous materials for the extraction and detection of pesticides in food samples. This review is based on a brief introduction of MOFs and highlights recent advances in pesticide extraction and detection through MOFs. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects in this field are also described.

Abstract
This review aims to cover the uses of the commercially available protease Alcalase in the production of biologically active peptides since 2010. Immobilization of Alcalase has also been reviewed, as immobilization of the enzyme may improve the final reaction design enabling the use of more drastic conditions and the reuse of the biocatalyst. That way, this review presents the production, via Alcalase hydrolysis of different proteins, of peptides with antioxidant, angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory, metal binding, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities (among other bioactivities) and peptides that improve the functional, sensory and nutritional properties of foods. Alcalase has proved to be among the most efficient proteases for this goal, using different protein sources, being especially interesting the use of the protein residues from food industry as feedstock, as this also solves nature pollution problems. Very interestingly, the bioactivities of the protein hydrolysates further improved when Alcalase is used in a combined way with other proteases both in a sequential way or in a simultaneous hydrolysis (something that could be related to the concept of combi-enzymes), as the combination of proteases with different selectivities and specificities enable the production of a larger amount of peptides and of a smaller size.

Abstract
Almost all known foodborne pathogens are able to form biofilms as one of the strategies for survival under harsh living conditions, to ward off the inhibition and the disinfection during food production, transport and storage, as well as during cleaning and sanitation of corresponding facilities. Biofilms are communities where microbial cells live under constant intracellular interaction and communication. Members of the biofilm community are embedded into extracellular matrix that contains polysaccharides, DNA, lipids, proteins, and small molecules that protect microorganisms and enable their intercellular communication under stress conditions. Membrane vesicles (MVs) are produced by both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. These lipid membrane-enveloped nanoparticles play an important role in biofilm genesis and in communication between different biofilm members. Furthermore, MVs are involved in other important steps of bacterial life like cell wall modeling, cellular division, and intercellular communication. They also carry toxins and virulence factors, as well as nucleic acids and different metabolites, and play a key role in host infections. After entering host cells, MVs can start many pathologic processes and cause serious harm and cell death. Prevention and inhibition of both biofilm formation and shedding of MVs by foodborne pathogens has a very important role in food production, storage, and food safety in general. Better knowledge of biofilm formation and maintaining, as well as the role of microbial vesicles in this process and in the process of host cells' infection is essential for food safety and prevention of both food spoilage and host infection.

Abstract
In addition to pathogenic bacteria and viruses, some bioactive compounds and natural toxins such as biogenic amines (BAs) can be responsible for food poisoning. These compounds, produced mainly by bacteria through the action of decarboxylases, represent a risk for consumers' health and are involved in several pathogenic syndromes, with histamine and tyramine being the most dangerous ones. Since the presence of dangerous amounts of BAs is associated with the relevant growth of spoiling decarboxylating microorganisms, BA content has been proposed as a food quality index in fresh products. Several factors, both intrinsic and technological, can regulate BA accumulation in foods influencing the decarboxylase-positive bacteria population and proteolysis phenomena, especially in fermented products where strains belonging to different species and genera, commonly found in these foods, have been characterized for their decarboxylase activities and have been associated with high levels of BAs. Due to their impact on human health and food quality, both the development of simple and rapid methods for BA detection and the increase of knowledge of factors involved in BA accumulation are needed to face new challenges in food chains and to reduce health concerns regarding food poisoning.

Abstract
In this study the phenotypic and genomic characterization of two Arcobacter butzleri (Ab) strains (Ab 34_O and Ab 39_O) isolated from pre-cut ready-to-eat vegetables were performed. Results provided useful data about their taxonomy and their overall virulence potential with particular reference to the antibiotic and heavy metal susceptibility. These features were moreover compared with those of two Ab strains isolated from shellfish and a genotaxonomic assessment of the Ab species was performed. The two Ab isolated from vegetables were confirmed to belong to the Aliarcobacter butzleri species by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, MLST and genomic analyses. The genome-based taxonomic assessment of the Ab species brought to the light the possibility to define different subspecies reflecting the source of isolation, even though further genomes from different sources should be available to support this hypothesis. The strains isolated from vegetables in the same geographic area shared the same distribution of COGs with a prevalence of the cluster "inorganic ion transport and metabolism", consistent with the lithotrophic nature of Arcobacter spp. None of the Ab strains (from shellfish and from vegetables) metabolized carbohydrates but utilized organic acids and amino acids as carbon sources. The metabolic fingerprinting of Ab resulted less discriminatory than the genome-based approach. The Ab strains isolated from vegetables and those isolated from shellfish endowed multiple resistance to several antibiotics and heavy metals.

Abstract
Target cell recognition is an important issue in the realization of bacteriocin's activity. In this report, we provide genetic and biochemical evidence of durancin GL, a new bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus durans 41D, and use ⅡC subunit in the mannose phosphotransferase system (Man-PTS) of Listeria monocytogenes as target/receptor. First, the L. monocytogenes mutants with Man-PTS IIC or IID deletion were constructed with the vector pHoss1. Then, the utilization of glucose and mannose and the sensitivity to durancin GL of the mutant strains were investigated. Afterward, the interactions between durancin GL and the subunits of IIC or IID in Man-PTS of L. monocytogenes were characterized by yeast two-hybrid system. The results showed that the L. monocytogenes mutants with either IIC or IID deletion were not only resistant to durancin GL, but also their absorption and utilization of glucose and mannose were not disturbed by the presence of durancin GL. Finally, in situ detection of the interaction between durancin GL and Man-PTS subunits of IIC or IID by yeast two-hybrid system revealed that there was a strong interaction between durancin GL and Man-PTS subunit IIC. However, the interaction between durancin GL and Man-PTS subunit IID was not present or weak. Based on the experimental evidence above, the Man-PTS subunit IIC is responsible for the sensitivity of L. monocytogenes to bacteriocin durancin GL.

Abstract
Food safety issues across the global food supply chain have become paramount in promoting public health safety and commercial success of global food industries. As food regulations and consumer expectations continue to advance around the world, notwithstanding the latest technology, detection tools, regulations and consumer education on food safety and quality, there is still an upsurge of foodborne disease outbreaks across the globe. The development of the Electronic nose as a noninvasive technique suitable for detecting volatile compounds have been applied for food safety and quality analysis. Application of E-nose for pathogen detection has been successful and superior to conventional methods. E-nose offers a method that is noninvasive, fast and requires little or no sample preparation, thus making it ideal for use as an online monitoring tool. This manuscript presents an in-depth review of the application of electronic nose (E-nose) for food safety, with emphasis on classification and detection of foodborne pathogens. We summarise recent data and publications on foodborne pathogen detection (2006-2018) and by E-nose together with their methodologies and pattern recognition tools employed. E-nose instrumentation, sensing technologies and pattern recognition models are also summarised and future trends and challenges, as well as research perspectives, are discussed.

Abstract
Arcobacter (A.) butzleri is an emerging pathogenic microorganism, whose taxonomy has been recently suggested to be emended to the Aliarcobacter (Al.) butzleri comb. nov. Despite extensive taxonomic analysis, only few fragmented studies have investigated the occurrence and the prevalence of virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants of this species in strains isolated from shellfish. Herein we report for the first time the whole genome sequencing and genomic characterization of two A. butzleri strains isolated from shellfish, with particular reference to the antibiotic, heavy metals and virulence determinants. This study supported the taxonomic assignment of these strains to the Al. butzleri species, and allowed us to identify antibiotic and metal resistance along with virulence determinants, also additional to those previously reported for the only two A. butzleri strains from different environments genomically characterized. Moreover, both strains showed resistance to β-lactams, vanocomycin, tetracycline and erythromycin and susceptibility to aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin. Beside enlarging the availability of genomic data to perform comparative studies aimed at correlating phenotypic differences associated with ecological niche and geographic distribution with the genetic diversity of A. butzleri spp., this study reports the endowment of antibiotic and heavy metal resistance and virulence determinants of these shellfish-isolated strains. This leads to hypothesize a relatively high virulence of A. butzleri isolated from shellfish and prompt the need for a wider genomic analysis and for in vitro and in vivo studies of more strains isolated from this and other ecological niches, to unravel the mechanism of pathogenicity of this species, and the potential risk associated to their consumption.
