Joshi P, Soares JM, Martins GM, Zucolotto Cocca LH, De Boni L, de Oliveira KT, Bagnato VS, Blanco KC. Enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy through curcumin modifications. Photochem Photobiol 2024. [PMID: 39049138 DOI: 10.1111/php.14000] [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: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Curcumin serves as a photosensitizer (PS) in the context of microbial inactivation when subjected to light exposure, to produce reactive oxygen species, which exhibit efficacy in eradicating microorganisms. This remarkable property underscores the growing potential of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the ongoing fight against bacterial infections. Considering this, we investigate the efficacy of various in vitro curcumin formulations within a PDT protocol designed to target Staphylococcus aureus. Specifically, we conduct a comparative analysis involving synthetic curcumin (Cur-Syn) and curcumin derivatives modified with chlorine (Cl), selenium (Se), and iodine (I) (Cur-Cl, Cur-Se, Cur-I). To assess the impact of aPDT, we subject S. aureus to incubation with curcumin, followed by irradiation at 450 nm with energy doses of 3.75, 7.5, and 15 J/cm2. Our investigation encompasses an evaluation of PS uptake and photobleaching across the various curcumin variants. Notably, all three modifications (Cur-Cl, Cur-Se, Cur-I) induce a significant reduction in bacterial viability, approximately achieving a 3-log reduction. Interestingly, the uptake kinetics of Cur-Syn and Cur-Se exhibit similarities, reaching saturation after 20 min. Our findings suggest that modifications to curcumin have a discernible impact on the photodynamic properties of the PS molecule.

Photostability and photodynamic antimicrobial profile of dye extracts from four (4) plants: prospects for eco-friendly low-cost food disinfection and topical biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this study, photostability and photodynamic antimicrobial performance of dye extracts from Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) calyces, Sorghum bicolor (SB) leaf sheaths, Lawsonia inermis (LI) leaves and Curcuma longa (CL) roots were investigated in Acetate-HCl (AH) Buffer (pH 4.6), Tris Base-HCl (TBH) Buffer (pH 8.6), distilled water (dH2O), and Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS, pH 7.2) using Bacillus subtilis as model for gram positive bacteria, Escherichia coli as model for gram negative bacteria, phage MS2 as model for non-envelope viruses and phage phi6 as model for envelope viruses including SARS CoV-2 which is the causative agent of COVID-19. Our results showed that the photostability of the dye extracts is in the decreasing order of LI > CL > SB > HS. The dye extract-HS is photostable in dH2O but bleaches in buffers-AH, TBH and PBS. The rate of bleaching is higher in AH compared to in TBH and PBS. The bleaching and buffers affected the photodynamic and non-photodynamic antimicrobial activity of the dye extracts. The photodynamic antibacterial activity of the dye extracts is in the decreasing order of CL > HS > LI > SB while the non-photodynamic antibacterial activity is in the decreasing order of LI > CL > HS > SB. The non-photodynamic antiviral activity pattern observed is the same as that of non-photodynamic antibacterial activity observed. However, the photodynamic antiviral activity of the dye extracts is in the decreasing order of CL > LI > HS > SB. Given their performance, the dye extracts maybe mostly suitable for environmental applications including fresh produce and food disinfection, sanitation of hands and contact surfaces where water can serve as diluent for the extracts and the microenvironment is free of salts.

Photodynamic Inactivation of Foodborne Bacteria: Screening of 32 Potential Photosensitizers. Foods 2024; 13:453. [PMID: 38338588 PMCID: PMC10855769 DOI: 10.3390/foods13030453] [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: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of novel antimicrobial technologies for the food industry represents an important strategy to improve food safety. Antimicrobial photodynamic disinfection (aPDD) is a method that can inactivate microbes without the use of harsh chemicals. aPDD involves the administration of a non-toxic, light-sensitive substance, known as a photosensitizer, followed by exposure to visible light at a specific wavelength. The objective of this study was to screen the antimicrobial photodynamic efficacy of 32 food-safe pigments tested as candidate photosensitizers (PSs) against pathogenic and food-spoilage bacterial suspensions as well as biofilms grown on relevant food contact surfaces. This screening evaluated the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC), and colony forming unit (CFU) reduction against Salmonella enterica, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas fragi, and Brochothrix thermosphacta. Based on multiple characteristics, including solubility and the ability to reduce the biofilms by at least 3 log10 CFU/sample, 4 out of the 32 PSs were selected for further optimization against S. enterica and MRSA, including sunset yellow, curcumin, riboflavin-5'-phosphate (R-5-P), and erythrosin B. Optimized factors included the PS concentration, irradiance, and time of light exposure. Finally, 0.1% w/v R-5-P, irradiated with a 445 nm LED at 55.5 J/cm2, yielded a "max kill" (upwards of 3 to 7 log10 CFU/sample) against S. enterica and MRSA biofilms grown on metallic food contact surfaces, proving its potential for industrial applications. Overall, the aPDD method shows substantial promise as an alternative to existing disinfection technologies used in the food processing industry.

Abstract
Salmonella and Campylobacter are two of the most common foodborne pathogens associated with poultry meat. Regulatory restrictions and consumer concerns have increased the interest for plant-derived antimicrobials and emerging novel technologies. The objective of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of photoactive compounds curcumin (CUR) and chlorophyllin (CH) followed by activating light exposure for the reduction of Salmonella and Campylobacter. Peroxyacetic acid (PAA) was also evaluated as a poultry industry standard antimicrobial processing aid. CUR and CH were evaluated in 96-well plates at concentrations of 100, 500, and 1,000 ppm, along with PAA at 100, 200, and 300 ppm, or distilled water (DW). Each well was inoculated with 105 CFU/mL of Salmonella Typhimurium or Campylobacter jejuni, and plates were exposed to activating light (430 nm) for 0 or 5 min. No detectable reductions were observed for Salmonella or Campylobacter when treated with CUR, CH, or 100 ppm PAA. However, when Salmonella was treated with 200 ppm PAA, counts were reduced from 4.57 to 2.52 log10 CFU/mL. When Salmonella was treated with 300 ppm PAA, counts were reduced to below detectable levels (5 CFU/mL). Campylobacter was reduced from 4.67 to 2.82 log10 CFU/mL when treated with 200 ppm PAA. However, no further reductions were observed when Campylobacter was treated with 300 ppm PAA (2.50 log10 CFU/mL). These results indicate that CUR and CH were not effective as antimicrobials under the evaluated conditions, particularly in comparison to the commonly used antimicrobial, PAA.

Abstract
The photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a novel and effective nonthermal inactivation technology. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the bactericidal ability of endogenous photosensitizers (PSs)-mediated and exogenous PSs-mediated PDI against planktonic bacteria and their biofilms, as well as fungi. In general, the PDI exhibited a broad-spectrum ability in inactivating planktonic bacteria and fungi, but its potency was usually weakened in vivo and for eradicating biofilms. On this basis, new strategies have been proposed to strengthen the PDI potency in food system, mainly including the physical and chemical modification of PSs, the combination of PDI with multiple adjuvants, adjusting the working conditions of PDI, improving the targeting ability of PSs, and the emerging aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens). Meanwhile, the mechanisms of PDI on eradicating mono-/mixed-species biofilms and preserving foods were also summarized. Notably, the PDI-mediated antimicrobial packaging film was proposed and introduced. This review gives a new insight to develop the potent PDI system to combat microbial contamination and hazard in food industry.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen. It can adhere to food or food contact surface for a long time and form biofilm, which will lead to equipment damage, food deterioration, and even human diseases. As the main form of bacteria to survive, the mixed biofilms often exhibit higher resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics, including the mixed biofilms formed by L. monocytogenes and other bacteria. However, the structure and interspecific interaction of the mixed biofilms are very complex. It remains to be explored what role the mixed biofilm could play in the food industry. In this review, we summarized the formation and influence factors of the mixed biofilm developed by L. monocytogenes and other bacteria, as well as the interspecific interactions and the novel control measures in recent years. Moreover, the future control strategies are prospected, in order to provide theoretical basis and reference for the research of the mixed biofilms and the targeted control measures.

Abstract
Curcumin is a natural plant derived antimicrobial, which was shown to inactivate or inhibit the growth of a broad spectrum of microorganisms through photodynamic inactivation. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the influence of curcumin against commensal spoilage bacteria on chicken, foodborne pathogens, and the chicken skin pH and color. Chicken skin samples were immersed into water, photosensitizer curcumin (PSC), or peracetic acid (PAA). PSC samples were subsequently subjected to illumination by LEDs (430 nm). The PSC treatments did not inhibit the outgrowth of the four groups of spoilage bacteria evaluated. PSC treatment resulted in 2.9 and 1.5 log CFU/cm2 reduction of L. monocytogenes and Salmonella, respectively. Over a 10-d period, population of Salmonella remained significantly lower on PSC treated samples compared to other treatments. PSC treatment resulted in no significant changes in pH or color as compared to water treated samples. This research suggests PSC effectively controlled pathogen outgrowth on chicken without negatively influencing quality; and may be suitable for use in commercial chicken processing.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections can kill 700,000 individuals globally each year and is considered among the top 10 global health threats faced by humanity as the arsenal of antibiotics is becoming dry and alternate antibacterial molecule is in demand. Nanoparticles of curcumin exhibit appreciable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity using unique and novel mechanisms and thus the process deserves to be reviewed and further researched to clearly understand the mechanisms. Based on the antibiotic resistance, infection, and virulence potential, a list of clinically important bacteria was prepared after extensive literature survey and all recent reports on the antibacterial activity of curcumin and its nanoformulations as well as their mechanism of antibacterial action have been reviewed. Curcumin, nanocurcumin, and its nanocomposites with improved aqueous solubility and bioavailability are very potential, reliable, safe, and sustainable antibacterial molecule against clinically important bacterial species that uses multitarget mechanism such as inactivation of antioxidant enzyme, reactive oxygen species-mediated cellular damage, and inhibition of acyl-homoserine-lactone synthase necessary for quorum sensing and biofilm formation, thereby bypassing the mechanisms of bacterial antibiotic resistance. Nanoformulations of curcumin can thus be considered as a potential and sustainable antibacterial drug candidate to address the issue of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Classical approaches for controlling plant pathogens may be impaired by the development of pathogen resistance to chemical pesticides and by limited availability of effective antimicrobial agents. Recent increases in consumer awareness of and/or legislation regarding environmental and human health, and the urgent need to improve food security, are driving increased demand for safer antimicrobial strategies. Therefore, there is a need for a step change in the approaches used for controlling pre- and post-harvest diseases and foodborne human pathogens. The use of light-activated antimicrobial substances for the so-called antimicrobial photodynamic treatment is known to be effective not only in a clinical context, but also for use in agriculture to control plant-pathogenic fungi and bacteria, and to eliminate foodborne human pathogens from seeds, sprouted seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Here, we take a holistic approach to review and re-evaluate recent findings on: (i) the ecology of naturally-occurring photoantimicrobials, (ii) photodynamic processes including the light-activated antimicrobial activities of some plant metabolites, and (iii) fungus-induced photosensitization of plants. The inhibitory mechanisms of both natural and synthetic light-activated substances, known as photosensitizers, are discussed in the contexts of microbial stress biology and agricultural biotechnology. Their modes-of-antimicrobial action make them neither stressors nor toxins/toxicants (with specific modes of poisonous activity), but a hybrid/combination of both. We highlight the use of photoantimicrobials for the control of plant-pathogenic fungi and quantify their potential contribution to global food security.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorophyllin-based photodynamic inactivation (Chl-PDI) on biofilm formation and fresh-cut pakchoi quality during storage. Firstly, Chl-based PDI reduced the amount of biofilm in an in vivo experiment and inactivated the food spoilage bacteria. Antibacterial mechanism analysis indicated that the bacterial extracellular polysaccharides and extracellular proteins were vulnerable targets for attacks by the Chl-based PDI. Then, the food spoilage microorganisms (Pseudomonas reinekei and Pseudomonas palleroniana) were inoculated onto the surface of fresh-cut pakchoi. We used chlorophyllin (1 × 10−5 mol/L) and 405 nm light (22.27 J/cm2 per day) to investigate the effect of Chl-based PDI treatment on fresh-cut pakchoi quality during storage. The results showed that Chl-based PDI increased the visual quality and the content of chlorophyll, VC, total soluble solids, and SOD activity and decreased the occurrence of leaf yellowing and POD activity. These suggest that Chl-based PDI can be used for the preservation of fresh-cut pakchoi and has the potential to inhibit biofilm formation of food spoilage bacteria. It is of great significance for the effective processing and traditional vegetable preservation.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) plays a key role in photodynamic antibacterial activity as a photosensitizer. On the other hand, the antimicrobial potential of graphene oxide (GO) has been reported controversially, and how to improve its antimicrobial ability has become an meaningful study. In this study, we prepared polydopamine-curcumin (PDA-Cur) by pi-pi stacking and loaded it onto the GO surface to obtain GO/PDA-Cur composite nanomaterials. GO/PDA-Cur was characterized by physical and optical means, and GO/PDA-Cur possessed good dispersion and stability in water. In vitro antibacterial results showed that GO/PDA-Cur mediated photodynamic therapy significantly reduced Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by 4 orders of magnitude with a bactericidal rate of 99.99 %. The antibacterial mechanism stems from the fact that GO/PDA-Cur can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under white light irradiation (405-780 nm), which causes bacterial outer membrane breakage and cellular deformation. In addition, GO/PDA-Cur has good biocompatibility. The antibacterial ability of graphene oxide was significantly improved by combining it with PDA-Cur, which allows it to be used as a photodynamic antibacterial material.

Abstract
Controlling microbial contamination in foods using effective clean and green technologies is important in producing food with less contaminants. This study investigates the effect of photosensitization treatment using naturally occurring curcumin on inactivating Aspergillus flavus spores on peanuts. Light dosages of 76.4 J/cm2 and 114.5 J/cm2 at 420 nm were employed in combination with curcumin concentrations from 25 to 100 μM. The inactivation efficiency of the treatment towards spores in suspension achieved a maximum 2 log CFU/mL reduction in viable spores with 75 μM of curcumin at a light dosage of 114.5 J/cm2 (p < 0.05). The in vivo study was then designed using the optimum conditions from the in vitro experiment. The photosensitization treatment at three different curcumin concentrations (50, 75, 100 μM) extended the shelf-life of raw peanuts by 7 days when treated with 75 μM of curcumin combined with a 114.5 J/cm2 light dosage and stored at 25 °C. The treatment effectively reduced average levels of aflatoxin B1 (AF-B1) on peanuts stored for 7 days at 25 °C from 9.65 mg/kg of untreated samples to 0.007 and 0.006 mg/kg for 75 and 100 μM curcumin (p < 0.05) respectively. The results show the potential use of curcumin-based photosensitization treatment in inactivating fungal growth and reducing AF-B1 concentration on raw peanuts.

Abstract
Unsafe food causes more than 200 diseases and therefore poses a threat to the health of millions of people worldwide. Children under 5 years of age carry about 40% of the foodborne disease burden. With a rapidly growing world population, the supply of nutritious, safe, and healthy food represents a high challenge for the coming centuries. Photodynamic decontamination of food (PDc) is based on the photosensitizer (PS)-mediated and light-induced overproduction of reactive oxygen species, which kill microorganisms irrespective of their resistance to conventional treatment. Several natural substances approved as food additives such as curcumin or chlorophyllin are photoactive. Thus, PDc based on these compounds is a promising approach to improve food safety.In this chapter, two experimental protocols to investigate the antimicrobial efficacy of PDc on flat objects like lettuce or slices of cucumber or round objects like mung beans in situ are described in detail, which allow for quantitative analysis of the decontamination effect. Both methods are also applicable for other radiation-based decontamination, such as UV- or γ-treatment of food.

Abstract
Nowadays, food safety issues have drawn increased attention due to the continual occurrence of infectious diseases caused by foodborne pathogens, which is an important factor causing food safety hazard. Meanwhile, the emergence of an increasing number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is a worrisome phenomenon. Therefore, it is imperative to find new technologies with low-cost to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms and prevent cross-contamination. Compared with traditional preservatives, photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has emerged as a novel and promising strategy to eliminate foodborne pathogens with advantages such as non-toxic and low microbial resistance, which also meets the demand of current consumers for green treatment. Over the past few years, reports of using this technology for food safety have increased rapidly. This review summarizes recent progresses in the development of photodynamic inactivation of foodborne microorganisms. The mechanisms, factors influencing PDI and the application of different photosensitizers (PSs) in different food substrates are reviewed.

Abstract
Hydrophobic cellulose laurate (CL) with high degree of substitution has been successfully synthesized. The mechanical property, water-resistance, antimicrobial activity, barrier properties and food decontamination of cellulose-laurate-curcumin films (CL-Cux, x = 0.1, 0.5, and 1) were investigated. The results showed that the mechanical properties of CL-Cux hardly change after soaking in water for 24 h, probably due to the strong hydrophobicity of cellulose laurate. CL-Cu1 represented a good photoinduced antibacterial effect against S. aureus. After irradiation of white light at 60 mW·cm-2 for 20 min, the inhibition efficiency reached to 95 ± 2.02%, probably owing to the generated active 1O2. In comparison with CL-Cu1 stored in natural light, the bacteriostatic effect of CL-Cu1 in dark storage was better, and the inhibition rate of CL-Cu1 remained 80 ± 1.22 at 60th day. The stabler excited state of curcumin in hydrophobic cellulose laurate was probably assigned to inhibition of tautomerism or conformational transition, which was beneficial to the generation of singlet oxygen. CL-Cu1 can significantly inhibit the growth of TVBN and TVC values of chilled meat upon white light irradiation, indicating the potential application of cellulose-laurate-curcumin films in food decontamination.

Abstract
Biofilms cause problems in the food industry due to their persistence and incompetent hygiene processing technologies. Interest in photodynamic inactivation (PDI) for combating biofilms has increased in recent years. This technique can induce microbial cell death, reduce cell attachment, ruin biofilm biomolecules and eradicate structured biofilms without inducing microbial resistance. This review addresses microbial challenges posed by biofilms in food environments and highlights the advantages of PDI in preventing and eradicating microbial biofilm communities. Current findings of the antibiofilm efficiencies of this technique are summarized. Additionally, emphasis is given to its potential mechanisms and factors capable of influencing biofilm communities, as well as promising hurdle strategies.

Abstract
Staphylococcus saprophyticus, the food-borne bacteria present in dairy products, ready-to-eat food and environmental sources, has been reported with antibiotic resistance, raising concerns about food microbial safety. The antimicrobial resistance of S. saprophyticus requires the development of new strategies. Light- and photosensitizer-based antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a promising approach to control microbial contamination, whereas there is limited information regarding the effectiveness of PDI on S. saprophyticus biofilm control. In this study, PDI mediated by natural bioactive compound (curcumin) associated with LED was evaluated for its potential to prevent and disrupt S. saprophyticus biofilms. Biofilms were treated with curcumin (50, 100, 200 µM) and LED fluence (4.32 J/cm2, 8.64 J/cm2, 17.28 J/cm2). Control groups included samples treated only with curcumin or light, and samples received neither curcumin nor light. The action was examined on biofilm mass, viability, cellular metabolic activity and cytoplasmic membrane integrity. PDI using curcumin associated with LED exhibited significant antibiofilm activities, inducing biofilm prevention and removal, metabolic inactivation, intracellular membrane damage and cell death. Likewise, scanning electronic microscopy observations demonstrated obvious structural injury and morphological alteration of S. saprophyticus biofilm after PDI application. In conclusion, curcumin is an effective photosensitizer for the photodynamic control of S. saprophyticus biofilm.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain types of fungi that contaminate food and feed, posing serious health risks to human and livestock. This study evaluated the combination of blue light with curcumin to inactivate Aspergillus flavus spores, its effect on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production and maintaining carotenoid content in three maize varieties. The study was first conducted in vitro, and the spore suspensions (104 CFU·mL−1) were treated with four curcumin concentrations (25 and 50 µM in ethanol, 1000 and 1250 µM in propylene glycol) and illuminated at different light doses from 0 to 130.3 J·cm−2. The photoinactivation efficiency was light-dose dependent with the highest photoinactivation of 2.3 log CFU·mL−1 achieved using 1000 µM curcumin at 104.2 J·cm−2. Scanning electron microscopy revealed cell wall deformations as well as less density in photosensitized cells. Photosensitization of maize kernels gave rise to a complete reduction in the viability of A. flavus and therefore inhibition of AFB1 production, while no significant (p > 0.05) effect was observed using either light or curcumin. Moreover, photosensitization did not affect the carotenoids in all the studied maize varieties. The results suggest that photosensitization is a green alternative preservation technique to decontaminate maize kernels and reduce consumer exposure to AFB1 without any effect on carotenoid content.

Abstract
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a fast and effective non-heat sterilization technology. This study established an efficient blue light-emitting diode (LED) PDI with the photosensitizer sodium magnesium chlorophyllin (SMC) to eradicate Staphylococcus aureus in food. The antibacterial mechanisms were determined by evaluating DNA integrity, protein changes, morphological alteration, and the potency of PDI to eradicate S. aureus on lettuce was evaluated. Results showed that planktonic S. aureus could not be clearly observed on the medium after treatment with 5.0 μmol/L SMC for 10 min (1.14 J/cm2). Bacterial cell DNA and protein were susceptible to SMC-mediated PDI, and cell membranes were found to be disrupted. Moreover, SMC-mediated PDI effectively reduced 8.31 log CFU/mL of S. aureus on lettuce under 6.84 J/cm2 radiant exposure (30 min) with 100 μmol/L SMC, and PDI displayed a potent ability to restrain the weight loss as well as retard the changes of color difference of the lettuce during 7 day storage. The study will enrich our understanding of the inactivation of S. aureus by PDI, allowing for the development of improved strategies to eliminate bacteria in the food industry.

Abstract
The effect of curcumin-mediated blue light-emitting diode (LED) photodynamic inactivation (PDI) for preserving the quality of salmon contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes was investigated by microbiological, physical, chemical and histological methods during sample storage at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃. The results showed that PDI decelerated the proliferation of L. monocytogenes on salmon during storage at 25 ℃, with the maximum inhibition reaching 4.0 log10 CFU/g (99.99%), compared to the negative control. Moreover, PDI greatly retarded the increase in pH (P < 0.05) and the production of TVB-N, retarded the accumulation of free fatty acids, and decelerated the degradation of proteins, ultimately preserving the high nutritional value of the salmon. In addition, PDI effectively prevented a change in colour and retarded the loss of water from the salmon, thereby conserving its texture and sensory properties. Therefore, PDI is a promising and valid non-thermal technology to use for fish preservation.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
As considered highly resistant to antibiotics like mecillinam, the rise of Staphylococcus saprophyticus (S. saprophyticus) contamination of fresh foods and food processing environments necessitates the development of a new antimicrobial approach for food safety control. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effect of food-grade curcumin (CUR) and blue light-emitting diode (LED) on S. saprophyticus.
Materials and Methods
S. saprophyticus was subjected to the synergistic treatment at 4 and 25 °C. The influence of parameters, including CUR concentration, light dose, and pH incubation time on the inactivation of S. saprophyticus was characterized through plate counting method.
Results:
The combined treatment of CUR and blue light irradiation significantly (P < 0.05) reduced bacterial counts and the antimicrobial effect was in a CUR concentration and light dose-dependent manner. Moreover, refrigeration temperature (4 °C) significantly (P < 0.05) enhanced the antibacterial effect at neutral pH condition (6.2–7.2), resulting in approximately 6.0 log reductions. Under acidic condition (pH 2.2–5.2), there was no significant difference in bacterial population reduction between treatments at both temperatures.
Conclusions
These findings proposed that synergistic interaction of CUR and 460 nm LED under refrigerated temperature could enhance the inactivation of S. saprophyticus at neutral pH condition.

Abstract
Blue light primarily exhibits antimicrobial activity through the activation of endogenous photosensitizers, which leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species that attack components of bacterial cells. Current data show that blue light is innocuous on the skin, but may inflict photo-damage to the eyes. Laboratory measurements indicate that antimicrobial blue light has minimal effects on the sensorial and nutritional properties of foods, although future research using human panels is required to ascertain these findings. Food properties also affect the efficacy of antimicrobial blue light, with attenuation or enhancement of the bactericidal activity observed in the presence of absorptive materials (for example, proteins on meats) or photosensitizers (for example, riboflavin in milk), respectively. Blue light can also be coupled with other treatments, such as polyphenols, essential oils and organic acids. While complete resistance to blue light has not been reported, isolated evidence suggests that bacterial tolerance to blue light may occur over time, especially through gene mutations, although at a slower rate than antibiotic resistance. Future studies can aim at characterizing the amount and type of intracellular photosensitizers across bacterial species and at assessing the oxygen-independent mechanism of blue light-for example, the inactivation of spoilage bacteria in vacuum-packed meats.

Abstract
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an essential transcription factor that maintains the cell's redox balance state and reduces inflammation in different adverse stresses. Under the oxidative stress, Nrf2 is separated from Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), which is a key sensor of oxidative stress, translocated to the nucleus, interacts with the antioxidant response element (ARE) in the target gene, and then activates the transcriptional pathway to ameliorate the cellular redox condition. Curcumin is a yellow polyphenolic curcuminoid from Curcuma longa (turmeric) that has revealed a broad spectrum of bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-viral activities. Curcumin significantly increases the nuclear expression levels and promotes the biological effects of Nrf2 via the interaction with Cys151 in Keap1, which makes it a marvelous therapeutic candidate against a broad range of oxidative stress-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancers, viral infections, and more recently SARS-CoV-2. Currently, the multifactorial property of the diseases and lack of adequate medical treatment, especially in viral diseases, result in developing new strategies to finding potential drugs. Curcumin potentially opens up new views as possible Nrf2 activator. However, its low bioavailability that is due to low solubility and low stability in the physiological conditions is a significant challenge in the field of its efficient and effective utilization in medicinal purposes. In this review, we summarized recent studies on the potential effect of curcumin to activate Nrf2 as the design of potential drugs for a viral infection like SARS-Cov2 and acute and chronic inflammation diseases in order to improve the cells' protection.

Abstract
Consumer awareness on the side effects of chemical preservatives has increased the demand for natural preservation technologies. An efficient and sustainable alternative to current conventional preservation techniques should guarantee food safety and retain its quality with minimal side effects. Photosensitization, utilizing light and a natural photosensitizer, has been postulated as a viable and green alternative to the current conventional preservation techniques. The potential of curcumin as a natural photosensitizer is reviewed in this paper as a practical guide to develop a safe and effective decontamination tool for industrial use. The fundamentals of the photosensitization mechanism are discussed, with the main emphasis on the natural photosensitizer, curcumin, and its application to inactivate microorganisms as well as to enhance the shelf life of foods. Photosensitization has shown promising results in inactivating a wide spectrum of microorganisms with no reported microbial resistance due to its particular lethal mode of targeting nucleic acids. Curcumin as a natural photosensitizer has recently been investigated and demonstrated efficacy in decontamination and delaying spoilage. Moreover, studies have shown the beneficial impact of an appropriate encapsulation technique to enhance the cellular uptake of photosensitizers, and therefore, the phototoxicity. Further studies relating to improved delivery of natural photosensitizers with inherent poor solubility should be conducted. Also, detailed studies on various food products are warranted to better understand the impact of encapsulation on curcumin photophysical properties, photo-driven release mechanism, and nutritional and organoleptic properties of treated foods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the effectiveness of an efficient therapeutic protocol for the total mouth antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) mediated by 450 nm blue LED associated with curcumin in individuals with AIDS. METHODS Patients were selected by exclusion criteria and randomly distributed in groups to test the effectiveness of antimicrobial aPDT with curcumin 0.75 mg/mL associated with the blue LED (67 mW/cm2, 20.1 J/cm2). Before and after the treatments, samples were collected from the saliva being processed in duplicate in selective culture media. The colonies were counted and the results obtained in log10 CFU/mL were statistically tested (T-paired statistical test, 5%). RESULTS The log10 CFU/mL of Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., and total count of microorganisms showed statistically significant (p = 0.023; p = 0.001 and p = 0.017, respectively) reduction after treatment in patients with aPDT. CONCLUSION aPDT was effective in reducing Streptococcusspp. in addition to reducing Staphylococcusspp., enterobacteria and the total count of microorganisms when considering the numbers of TCD4 and TCD8 lymphocytes. The aPDT in the studied protocol was able to control clinically important intraoral microorganisms for AIDS patients, both those with TCD4 lymphocytes above or below 25% of normal and those with TCD8 lymphocytes above 25% of normal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is a challenging pathogen due to the rapid development of antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation against biofilms of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii isolated from clinical, abattoir and aquatic sources. METHODS The isolates were tested for susceptibility to imipenem, meropenem, tigecycline and colistin using autoSCAN-4 automated system and rechecked by the E-test. Methylene blue, Protoporphyrin IX, and a halogen lamp were used in the in vitro assay against biofilms of the isolates. The antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation was assessed by counting colony-forming units (CFU). RESULTS The isolates from abattoir and aquatic sources were resistant to carbapenems (>64 μg/mL) but susceptible to tigecycline (2 μg/mL) and colistin (Abattoir, 0.35 μg/mL and Aquatic, 0.24 μg/mL), whereas the clinical isolate was susceptible to only colistin (0.5 μg/mL) using the E-test. The log survival percentages of the control group at a concentration of 20 μM were 5 × 10-6 % for Protoporphyrin IX and 2 × 10-6 % for Methylene blue. Therefore, Methylene blue showed higher bacterial reduction of 7.0 log10 colony forming units than 6.0 log10 for Protoporphyrin IX. No significant difference was observed with respect to the origin of isolates and the minimum inhibitory concentrations. CONCLUSION The results indicate that antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation could be an alternative strategy for the control of infections caused by multi-drug resistant A. baumannii by significantly reducing biofilm growth at a sub-lethal concentrations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND About one-third of the food produced in the world is lost or wasted every year. Contamination can cause significant food loss throughout the entire supply chain, including harvesting, processing, storage, and transport to consumers. This study evaluated ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light and curcumin-mediated photodynamic inactivation (PDI) for the decontamination of meat and fruit. METHODS The cut pieces of food samples contaminated with E. coli or S. aureus were submitted to photonic treatments. For UV-C, samples were irradiated with UV-C lamps (254 nm) for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 min. For PDI, samples were incubated using 40 and 80 μM curcumin and irradiated with 450 nm at 5, 10, and 15 J/cm2 of light doses. The microbiological analysis was performed by counting the colony-forming unit (CFU). RESULTS UV-C irradiation reduced the number of E. coli in beef by (1.0 ± 0.2) log10 CFU/mL after 5 min of exposure. In chicken and pork, the numbers of E. coli were reduced by (1.6 ± 0.7) log10 CFU/mL and (1.6 ± 0.4) log10 CFU/mL after 4 and 10 min of irradiation, respectively. In apple the reductions were (3.2 ± 0.4) and (3.8 ± 0.2) log10 CFU/mL after 5 and 10 min of UV-C irradiation, respectively. PDI (40 μM, 15 J/cm2) reduced the number of S. aureus by (1.5 ± 0.2), (1.4 ± 0.2) and (0.6 ± 0.4) log10 CFU/mL in beef, chicken, and pork meat samples, respectively. In apple the greatest reduction was (2.0 ± 0.4) log10 CFU/mL using 80 μM and 10 J/cm2. CONCLUSION UV-C irradiation and PDI had an anti-microbial effect in food and our findings indicated that the greatest effect was achieved in apples. Therefore, these techniques may be useful to reduce E. coli and S. aureus contamination levels on the surface of meats and fruits, being promising for applications in the field of microbiological food safety.

Abstract
Sprouted seeds are gaining popularity worldwide due to their high nutritional value. At the same time, they are among the most highly contaminated fresh produce and have been recognized as the primary source of food-borne pathogens, such as E. coli O157 and harmful microfungi. The antifungal and antibacterial properties of chlorophyllin-based photosensitization in vitro together with successful application of this treatment for microbial control in wheat sprouts have been investigated. First, we examined the antimicrobial efficiency of chlorophyllin (Chl, 1.5 × 10-5-5 × 10-3 M) activated in vitro by visible light (405 nm, radiant exposure: 18 J cm-2) against the food-borne pathogen Escherichia coli and plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. Results revealed that this treatment (1.5 × 10-5 M Chl, incubation time 1 h, 405 nm, radiant exposure: 18 J cm-2) can reduce the E. coli population by 95%. Moreover, at higher chlorophyllin concentrations (5 × 10-4-5 × 10-3 M Chl), it is possible to delay the growth of F. oxysporum by 51-74%. The decontamination of wheat seeds by chlorophyllin-based photosensitization (5 × 10-4 M Chl, 405 nm, radiant exposure: 18 J cm-2) remarkably reduced the viability of surface-attached mesophilic bacteria (∼2.5log CFU g-1), E. coli (∼1.5log CFU g-1) and yeasts/fungi (∼1.5log CFU g-1). Moreover, SEM images confirmed that this treatment did not damage the grain surface microstructure. Most importantly, Chl-based photosensitization did not reduce the seed germination rate or seedling growth and had no impact on the visual qualities of sprouts. In conclusion, the chlorophyllin-based photosensitization treatment, being nonthermal, environmentally friendly and cost-effective, has huge potential for microbial control of highly contaminated germinated wheat sprouts and seeds used to produce sprouts, especially in organic farming.

Abstract
The present study clearly demonstrated the significant antifungal activity of chlorophyllin-chitosan complex (Chl-CHS) after activation with visible light. This phenomenon afterwards was successfully applied for better microbial control of highly popular food- germinated wheat sprouts. Obtained results indicated that photoactivated Chl-CHS complex (0.001% Chl-0.1% CHS and 0.005% Chl-0.5% CHS, 405 nm, 76 J/cm2) considerably inhibited (83%) the growth of dominating sprout pathogenic microfungus Fusarium graminearum in vitro. Moreover, obvious delay of fungus growth by 4 days after treatment was observed. The efficiency of antifungal treatment strongly depended on used Chl-CHS complex concentration. The coating of wheat grains with Chl-CHS (0.005% Chl-0.5% CHS) and illumination with visible light (405 nm; 76 J/cm2) inactivated the molds on the surface of grains by 79%. It is important to note, that no grain surface microstructure damage observed by SEM imaging have been found. No inhibiting effects on seed germination process, viability, average weight of grains, length of seedlings and content of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in the seedlings or eventually visual quality after Chl-CHS coating of grains and illumination with visible light have been observed. In conclusion, chlorophyllin-chitosan coating in the concert with visible light has great potential as cost-effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable strategy for better microbial control of highly contaminated sprouts.

Abstract
Efficiency of blue (462 ± 3 nm) light emitting diode (LED) illumination to inactivate Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the presence of exogenous photosensitizer (curcumin) was studied in freshly squeezed orange juice. Further, the combinational effect of ultrasound (US), photosensitizer (PS) and blue light (BL) on inactivation of microbes was evaluated. The effect of process parameters such as concentration of PS, US and volume of the juice on E. coli and S. aureus inactivation was also investigated. The US alone and PS + BL treatments resulted in 3.02 ± 0.52 and 1.06 ± 0.13 log reduction of E. coli; 0.18 ± 0.14 and 2.34 ± 0.13 log reduction of S. aureus, respectively. The combination of PS + US + BL treatment at optimized conditions resulted in 2.35 ± 0.16 log reduction of S. aureus. An additive effect on the inactivation of E. coli (4.26 ± 0.32 log reduction) was observed with PS + US + BL combination treatment. The US treatment showed significant change in cloud value, colour and browning index of orange juice. The combinational non-thermal processes (PS + BL and PS + US + BL) did not have any significant effect on total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and hesperidin content of the orange juice. However, these processes affected ascorbic acid content and antioxidant activity negatively. Thus, this study indicated that photodynamic inactivation of E. coli and S. aureus using LED-based photosensitization in fruit juices could be a potential method for microbial inactivation. Nevertheless, the effect on quality parameters needs to be considered while optimizing the process.

Abstract
The ever growing world-population poses challenges concerning the need for more food free of pesticide residues. The most common means to control plant pathogens is through the application of pesticides, which raises concerns over safety for humans and the environment. Recently, Photodynamic Inactivation (PDI) of microorganisms using natural photosensitizers has shown itself to be a powerful tool to combat bacteria and fungi. This study investigates the efficacy of PDI against the Gram(+) bacterial plant pathogen Rhodococcus fascians and Gram(-) Xanthomonas axonopodis and Erwinia amylovora using two chlorin e6 derivatives as photosensitizers: anionic sodium magnesium chlorophyllin (Chl, approved as food additive E140) in combination with cell wall permeabilizing agents (Na2EDTA or Polyaspartic acid sodium salt (PA)) and B17-0024, a mixture of chlorin e6 derivatives with cationic moieties at physiological pH. Both photosensitizers show excellent efficacy against R. fascians, whereby B17-0024 is phototoxic at a one order of magnitude lower concentration than Chl (10 μM B17-0024: relative inactivation (r.i.) >7.5 × 106, 100 μM Chl: r.i. 2.2 × 106, illumination with 26.6 J cm-2, 395 nm). The phototreatment of Gram(-) bacteria with Chl requires the obligatory use of cell wall permeabilizing agents like Na2EDTA (X. axonopodis) or PA (E. amylovora) to induce significant killing (more than 7 log units at 100 μM). On the other hand, B17-0024 proves to be a highly effective photosensitizer inducing bacterial inactivation at very low concentrations (10 μM for R. fascians and X. axonopodis, 100 μM for E. amylovora) without additives. In summary, PDI using both the natural photosensitizer Chl in combination with cell wall permeabilizing agents is effective and environmentally friendly. As an alternative, B17-0024 is highly photoactive against all model strains tested - even without cell wall permeabilizing agents. The photodynamic approach based on chlorin e6 derivatives should add to the growers' toolbox as a preferred alternative for the control of phytopathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photoactivity, though known for centuries, is only recently shifting back into focus as a treatment option against cancer and microbial infections. The external factor light is the ingenious key-component of this therapy: Since light activates the drug locally, a high level of selectivity is reached and side effects are avoided. The first reported photoactive medicines were plant extracts. Synthetic entities (so-called photosensitizers PSs), however, paved the route towards the clinical approval of the so-called photodynamic therapy (PDT), and thus natural PSs took a backseat in the past. HYPOTHESIS Many isolated bioactive phytochemicals hold a hidden photoactive potential, which is overlooked due to the reduced common awareness of photoactivity. METHODS A systematic review of reported natural PSs and their supposed medicinal application was conducted by employing PubMed, Scifinder, and Web of Science. The identified photoactive natural products were compiled including information about their natural sources, their photoyield, and their pharmacological application. Furthermore, the common chemical scaffolds of natural PS are shown to enable the reader to recognize potentially overlooked natural PSs. RESULTS The literature review revealed over 100 natural PS, excluding porphyrins. The PSs were classified according to their scaffold. Thereby it was shown that some PS-scaffolds were analyzed in a detailed way, while other classes were only scarcely investigated, which leaves space for future discoveries. In addition, the literature revealed that many PSs are phytoalexins, thus the selection of the starting material significantly matters in order to find new PSs. CONCLUSION Photoactive principles are ubiquitous and can be found in various plant extracts. With the increasing availability of light-irradiation setups for the identification of photoactive natural products, we anticipate the discovery of many new natural PSs in the near future. With the accumulation of chemically diverse PSs, PDT itself might finally reach its clinical breakthrough as a promising alternative treatment against multi-resistant microbes and cancer types.

Abstract
Several families of herbicides, especially diphenyl ether (DPE) and pyrimidinedione, target the plant tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathways and in particular one key enzyme, protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO). When plants are treated with DPE or pyrimidinedione, an accumulation of protoporphyrin IX, the first photosensitizer of this pathway, is observed in cytosol where it becomes very deleterious under light. Indeed these herbicides trigger plant death in two distinct ways: (i) inhibition of chlorophylls and heme syntheses and (ii) a huge accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in cytosol. Recently, a strategy based on plant transgenesis that induces deregulation of the tetrapyrrole pathway by up- or down-regulation of genes encoding enzymes, such as glutamyl-[Formula: see text]RNA reductase, porphobilinogen deaminase and PPO, has been developed. Against all expectations, only transgenic crops overexpressing PPO showed resistance to DPE and pyrimidinedione. This herbicide resistance of transgenic crops leads to the hypothesis that the overall consumption of herbicides will be reduced as previously reported for glyphosate-resistant transgenic crops. In this review, after a rapid presentation of plant tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, we show how only PPO enzyme can be the target of DPE and how transgenic crops can be further resistant not only to herbicide but also to abiotic stress such as drought or chilling. Keeping in mind that this approach is mostly prohibited in Europe, we attempt to discuss it to interest the scientific community, from plant physiologists to chemists, who work on the interface of photosensitizer optimization and agriculture.

Abstract
There is a critical unmet need to improve microbial safety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Current sanitation approaches cannot achieve >2 log inactivation of bacteria on fresh produce. Thus, there is a need to develop antimicrobial strategies that can consistently achieve >2 logs of bacterial inactivation on the surface of diverse fresh produce. Furthermore it is highly desired that these antimicrobial strategies have reduced environmental impact and are clean label solutions for food products. In this study, we evaluated the combination of curcumin and UV-A light radiation for the inactivation of inoculated E. coli O157:H7 and L. innocua bacterial cells on the surface of spinach, lettuce and tomatoes. Curcumin was deposited on the surface of fresh produce by either aerosolization or conventional spray-atomization methods before exposing the contaminated produce to UV-A light for 10 min (total light fluence of 20.4 kJ m-2). Results showed that the proposed combination of aerosolized or sprayed curcumin and UV-A light radiation can reduce the initial Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria innocua load from 6 log CFU cm-2 to approximately 3 log CFU cm-2 on spinach, lettuce and tomato surfaces. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in bacterial reduction between the different types of inoculated fresh produce surfaces (P > .05). Interestingly, subsequent curcumin deposition and UV-A light exposure cycles were not able to further reduce the bacterial load below the observed threshold of approximately 3 log CFU cm-2. Lastly, the combination of aerosolized curcumin and UV-A light radiation did not affect the color or the texture of the treated fresh produce samples. The findings described in this study illustrate the potential of applying aerosolized or sprayed curcumin under UV-A light illumination to improve microbial safety of fresh produce products.

Abstract
Considering increasing number of pathogens resistant towards commonly used antibiotics as well as antiseptics, there is a pressing need for antimicrobial approaches that are capable of inactivating pathogens efficiently without the risk of inducing resistances. In this regard, an alternative approach is the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). The antimicrobial effect of aPDT is based on the principle that visible light activates a per se non-toxic molecule, the so-called photosensitizer (PS), resulting in generation of reactive oxygen species that kill bacteria unselectively via an oxidative burst. During the last 10-20 years, there has been extensive in vitro research on novel PS as well as light sources, which is now to be translated into clinics. In this review, we aim to provide an overview about the history of aPDT, its fundamental photochemical and photophysical mechanisms as well as photosensitizers and light sources that are currently applied for aPDT in vitro. Furthermore, the potential of resistances towards aPDT is extensively discussed and implications for proper comparison of in vitro studies regarding aPDT as well as for potential application fields in clinical practice are given. Overall, this review shall provide an outlook on future research directions needed for successful translation of promising in vitro results in aPDT towards clinical practice.
