Irradiation as a Promising Technology to Improve Bacteriological and Physicochemical Quality of Fish. Microorganisms 2023; 11:1105.

Abstract
Fish is an excellent source of protein and other essential minerals and vitamins; nevertheless, several food-borne disease outbreaks have been linked to the consumption of different types of fish. Therefore, we aimed to overcome these health threats by evaluating gamma radiation as a good fish preservation method. The aerobic plate count (APC), identification of most common pathogenic bacteria, organoleptic properties, proximate composition, and other chemical evaluations were detected in both untreated and gamma-treated fish. The overall grades of organoleptic evaluations ranged from good to very good. Fortunately, the overall chemical analysis of all examined fish samples was accepted. For the untreated fish samples, the APC was within and above the permissible limit (5 × 107 CFU/g). Pathogenic bacteria were detected with a high prevalence rate, especially S. aureus, which was found in high percentages among examined untreated fish samples. Regarding the treated fish samples, APC and pathogenic bacterial counts were reduced in a dose-dependent manner, and the irradiation at dose 5 KGy resulted in complete eradication of the aerobic plate count (not detectable) with a mean reduction percentage equal to 100%. However, gamma irradiation has no significant effect on proximate composition; particularly, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids were not significantly affected by low and medium doses of radiation. Therefore, gamma irradiation is a highly effective fish preservation method without any effect on fish quality. Additionally, gamma irradiation as a cold process is an attractive technology for solving the problem arising from fish-borne pathogens, and it has been purposed in this study as a cheap and safe method for reducing microbial contamination of fish.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High microbial load is a serious concern in terms of the health-related safety of products of animal origin. In this study, the microbial loads of commercial frozen duck-meat products, including bone-in whole raw, boneless sliced raw, and boneless whole smoked, were investigated for pathogenic contamination. The application of electron beam irradiation was also investigated. RESULTS The samples revealed a serious microbial threat (102 -105 CFU g-1 for total aerobic bacteria and positive for foodborne pathogens), which required effective decontamination technology. Electron-beam irradiation (0, 1, 3, and 7 kGy) could potentially improve the hygienic quality of duck-meat samples. The D10 values for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhi were 0.47 and 0.51 kGy, respectively. A direct epifluorescent filter technique and aerobic plate count (DEFT/APC) method was used for screening, while electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry were effective as confirmatory techniques to identify radiation-induced markers in frozen duck meat. CONCLUSION Electron-beam irradiation has the potential to ensure the microbial safety and hygienic quality of commercial duck meats. Identification of the samples for their irradiation history was also possible using radiation-induced detection markers, including the DEFT/APC, hydroxyapatite ESR radicals, and hydrocarbons. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This study was performed in order to select volatile compounds to predict the off-odour and overall assessment of raw beef's freshness Maronesa breed, using multivariate analysis. M. longissimus dorsi packed in vacuum and MAP (70 % O2/20 % CO2/10 % N2) stored at 4 ºC were examined for off-odour perception as well as the overall assessment of freshness at 10 and 21 days post mortem. The results achieved in this study demonstrated that the selected volatile compounds could be considered as volatile indicators of beef spoilage, enclosing information for discrimination of Maronesa beef samples in sensory classes of odour corresponding to unspoiled and spoiled levels. Fifty-four volatile compounds were detected. A significant increase of aldehydes, ketones and alcohols were observed during storage in MAP. 2 and 3-methylbutanal, 2 and 3-methylbutanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 2,3-octanedione, 3,5-octanedione, octanal and nonanal were suggested as indicators of beef spoilage. 3-methylpentane was considered as a marker in the first stages of spoilage in beef, decreasing during storage. Data were examined using PCR and PLSR models for different optimal subsets of volatile compounds. The simplicity and usefulness of the technique in using 0/1 data in preserving high levels of accuracy was also prevalent. The powerful analytical methodologies for reducing variables and the choice of optimal subsets could be advantageous in both basic research and the routine quality control of chilled beef.

Abstract
Experiments were carried out to study the effect of different doses of gamma irradiation (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kilo gray; kGy) on some nutritive components and chemical aspects pertaining to quality of fish meal and meat-bone meal. The radiation doses required to reduce the total microbial load and Salmonella sp. one log cycle (D(10)) in fish meal and meat-bone meal were determined. Results indicated that gamma irradiation of fish meal and meat-bone meal with 5-20 kGy doses had no effects on the total acidity values but increased the values of lipid oxidation and total volatile basic nitrogen. D(10) of total microbial load and Salmonella sp. were 833 and 313 Gy for fish meal and 526 Gy and 278 Gy for meat-bone meal, respectively. It can be concluded that radiation processing could be employed in the recycling of fish and meat-bone meals by using them as feedstuffs in poultry diets with no fear of losing their nutritive components.

Abstract
The effect of gamma-radiation (0.5, 1, and 2 kGy) on the shelf life of fresh skinless chicken breast fillets stored aerobically at 4 degrees C was evaluated. Microbiological, chemical, and sensorial changes occurring in chicken samples were monitored for 21 days. Irradiation reduced populations of bacteria, i.e., total viable bacteria, Brochothrix thermosphacta, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and the effect was more pronounced at the highest dose (2 kGy). Pseudomonads, yeasts and molds, and Enterobacteriaceae were highly sensitive to gamma-radiation and were completely eliminated at all doses. Of the chemical indicators of spoilage, thiobarbituric values for nonirradiated and irradiated aerobically packaged chicken samples were in general low (<1 mg of malonaldehyde per kg of muscle) during refrigerated storage for 21 days. With regard to volatile amines, both trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N) and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) values for nonirradiated aerobically packaged chicken increased steeply, with final values of ca. 20.3 and 58.5 mg N/100 g of muscle, respectively. Irradiated aerobically packaged chicken samples had significantly lower TMA-N and TVB-N values (P < 0.05) of ca. 2.2 to 3.6 and 30.5 to 37.1 mg N/100 g of muscle, respectively, during refrigerated storage for 21 days. Of the biogenic amines monitored, only putrescine and cadaverine were detected in significant concentrations in both nonirradiated and irradiated chicken samples, whereas histamine formation was noted only in nonirradiated samples throughout storage. On the basis of sensorial evaluation, low-dose irradiation (0.5 and 1.0 kGy) in combination with aerobic packaging extended the shelf life of fresh chicken fillets by ca. 4 to 5 days, whereas irradiation at 2.0 kGy extended the shelf life by more than 15 days compared with that of nonirradiated chicken.

Abstract
An article is presented describing the background information on the use of ozone, bacteriocins and irradiation for destroying pathogens in food products. Their effectiveness on some pathogens of importance in food processing systems and issues of concern are highlighted. It could be concluded that although each one has the potential for use as an alternative preservation technology in specific food processing applications, no single method, except irradiation, is likely to be effective against all food spoilage and food poisoning microorganisms in all food matrices. However, the synergistic effect of one of these methods and other 'hurdles' or modes of food preservations could be used to ensure the microbial safety and prevention of the development of undesirable sensory and chemical changes in some food products. Bacteriocins may contribute an additional barrier in the 'hurdle concept' of food safety.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes, a psychrotrophic foodborne pathogen, is a frequent postprocessing contaminant of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products, including frankfurters and bologna. Ionizing radiation can eliminate L. monocytogenes from RTE meats. When they are incorporated into fine-emulsion sausages, sodium diacetate (SDA) and potassium lactate (PL) mixtures inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes. The radiation resistance of L. monocytogenes, and its ability to proliferate during long-term refrigerated storage (9 degrees C), when inoculated into beef bologna that contained 0% SDA-0% PL, 0.07% SDA-1% PL, and 0.15% SDA-2% PL, were determined. The radiation doses required to eliminate 90% of the viable L. monocytogenes cells were 0.56 kGy for bologna containing 0% SDA-0% PL, 0.53 kGy for bologna containing 0.07% SDA-1% PL, and 0.46 kGy for bologna containing 0.15% SDA-2% PL. L. monocytogenes was able to proliferate on bologna containing 0% SDA-0% PL during refrigerated storage, but the onset of proliferation was delayed by the addition of the SDA-PL mixtures. An ionizing radiation dose of 3.0 kGy prevented the proliferation of L. monocytogenes and background microflora in bologna containing 0.07% SDA-1% PL and in bologna containing 0.15% SDA-2% PL over 8 weeks of storage at 9 degrees C. Little effect on lipid oxidation and color of the control bologna, or bologna containing SDA-PL mixtures, was observed upon irradiation at either 1.5 or 3.0 kGy.
