Wan H, Zhu Z, Sun DW. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) films based on gelatin as active packaging for moisture regulation in fruit preservation. Food Chem 2024; 439:138114. [PMID: 38100877 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
To develop a novel active packaging for fruit preservation, two different deep eutectic solvents (DESs) comprising choline chloride, betaine and glycerol [ChCl:Gly (1:2) and Be:Gly (1:2)] were prepared and the corresponding DESs-based films (DES@Gel) using gelatin as polymer matrix were fabricated. DES@Gel showed smoother morphologies and better optical and mechanical properties as compared with Gel. Moisture sorption isotherm curves, the enhancement of water vapour permeability (WVP) and the excellent moisture absorption-desorption cyclist performance illustrated the moisture regulation hypothesis mechanism of DES@Gel. Furthermore, cherry tomato preservation experiment was carried out and the groups treated with DES@Gel showed better performances. The moisture regulation property of DES@Gel could broaden new avenues for active packaging.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1058. [PMID: 38674466 PMCID: PMC11054261 DOI: 10.3390/plants13081058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the impact of L-arginine (Arg) on the development of resistance to Alternaria tenuissima (A. tenuissima) in blueberries. The metabolism of reactive oxygen species, pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs), and jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis pathways were analyzed, including changes in activity and gene expression of key enzymes. The results indicated that Arg treatment could prevent the development of Alternaria fruit rot in postharvest blueberries. In addition, it was also found to induce a burst of hydrogen peroxide in the blueberries early on during storage, thereby improving their resistance to A. tenuissima. Arg treatment was observed to increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and ascorbate peroxidase) and related gene expression, as well as the total levels of phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanin in the blueberries. The activity and gene expression of the PRs (chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase) were elevated in Arg-treated blueberries, boosting their resistance to pathogens. Additionally, a surge in endogenous JA content was detected in Arg-treated blueberries, along with upregulated expression of key genes related the JA biosynthesis pathway (VcLOX1, VcAOS1, VcAOC, VcAOC3, VcOPR1, VcOPR3, VcMYC2, and VcCOI1), thereby further bolstering disease resistance. In conclusion, Arg treatment was determined to be a promising prospective method for controlling Alternaria fruit rot in blueberries.

Abstract
This study has investigated the effect of ultrasound (US) as an emerging non-thermal sterilization technique on microbial growth and quality changes in three freshly squeezed pumpkin juices (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne, Cucurbita moschata Duchesne, and Cucurbita pepo L.).The three pumpkin juices were ultrasonicated at different ultrasonic power (0-400 W), time (0-20 min), and temperature (0-30 °C), and the total colony counts of the treated pumpkin juices were less than 5 log CFU/mL, which complied with the food safety and consumption standards. Based on these results, we further investigated the effects of different ultrasonic power (25 kHz, 10 min, 20 °C, 0-400 W) on the physicochemical properties and sensory quality of the three pumpkin juices. The physicochemical properties (color, sugar content, organic acid content, soluble solids, and carotenoids) of treated pumpkin juice were retained or improved to some extent. The antioxidant capacity was also increased by 9.09%, 10.25%, and 16.9% compared to the untreated group. During sonication, the particle size of all samples decreased significantly, the microstructure broke down significantly, and the sensory qualities of pumpkin juice were well preserved after sonication.

FOOD SCI TECHNOL INT 2024:10820132241227009.

Abstract
This research focuses on the effectiveness of electrolyzed water (50 and 100 ppm for 3 min), ultrasonication (80 W for 3 min), and their combinations on fresh strawberries, which are then packaged using microperforated film to enhance their storage stability. The gas composition in the headspace, pH, soluble solids, color (L*, a*, b*, and ΔE* values), anthocyanins, total phenolics, and texture profile was evaluated for the 35 days of storage at +4 °C. The lowest weight loss was measured at about 100 ppm electrolyzed water (EW; 0.47%), and the highest one was in the control group (0.57%) after storage. At the end of the storage, O2 in the headspace decreased from 20.90% to 10.50-8.10% and CO2 was accumulated from 0.03% to 16.4-14.34%. The results showed that soluble solids decreased (9.95 to 8.48-7.85 °Bx) and pH values increased (3.34 to 3.79-3.91) during storage. At the end of the storage, the total phenolics in the control group decreased by the most during storage (from 1209.09 ppm to 808.00 ppm), whereas the 50 ppm EW group had the highest (931.66 ppm). Further, the significantly highest anthocyanin amount was found to be 143.86 ppm in the 100 ppm EW group at the end of 28 days of storage. The EW can significantly delay the degradation of anthocyanin over the storage period. The sonication at 100 ppm EW damages strawberry tissues, reducing their hardness. The lowest decay rate was found in fruits treated with 100 ppm EW (41.67%), followed by 50 ppm EW (58.33%), compared to the control (75.00%). This study reveals that applications of the 50 ppm EW and also 50 pm EW combined with ultrasonication have great potential in the extending storage stability of the fresh strawberries.

Ultrasound treatment alleviates external pericarp browning and improves fruit quality of pomegranate during storage. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:391-399.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound treatment has a beneficial role in horticultural production from harvest to consumption. The quality traits and microbiological load in pomegranate fruit were explored during 30 days' storage at 20 °C after 10 min and 30 min ultrasound treatments. RESULTS Ultrasound treatment significantly reduced the microbiological load during storage, providing a relatively clean and suitable storage environment. This was especially true for the 30 min treatment, which also maintained relatively lower weight loss and kept the browning rate below 5% during storage. Meanwhile, the fruit treated with ultrasound had higher ascorbic acid and anthocyanin content, which provided better antibacterial properties and higher nutraceutical properties until the end of storage. The 30 min ultrasound treatment significantly delayed the decrease in catalase (CAT) enzyme activity and the increase in peroxidase (POD) enzyme activity. Combined with weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and correlation analysis, color indicators and antioxidant activity induced by ultrasound treatment were responsible for the relatively higher fruit quality of pomegranate. CONCLUSION Ultrasound treatment can improve the sensory quality and nutritional characteristics of pomegranate fruits during storage, and reduce the microbiological load. Ultrasound for 30 min was better than 10 min for prolonging the storage life of pomegranate. Our results will provide valuable information for ultrasound application in other horticultural products. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This study investigated the antibacterial effects of ultrasound (US), β-citronellol (CT), and a combination of the two treatments on Listeria monocytogenes. Results showed that US or CT alone did not show apparent antibacterial effect (0.02-0.76 log CFU/mL reduction). The combined treatment showed obviously inactivate effect of L. monocytogenes, the populations of L. monocytogenes decreased by 8.93 log CFU/mL after US (253 W/cm2, 20 kHz) + 0.8 mg/mL CT treatment. US + CT treatment also had a significant (P < 0.05) antibacterial effect on isolates of L. monocytogenes from three different serotypes. In this study, the damage of US + CT on cell morphology had been observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy, while the damage to cell membranes by US + CT was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the uptake of N-phenyl-l-naphthylamine and the absorbance at 260 and 280 nm also indicated that the combined treatment disrupted the permeability and integrity of L. monocytogenes membranes. Reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde assays showed that US + CT exacerbated cellular oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In addition, the US + CT treatment reduced L. monocytogenes by 3.14-4.24 log CFU/g on the surface of carrots. Total phenolic and carotenoid contents in carrots were elevated after US + CT treatment. During storage, compared to control, US + CT did not significantly (P > 0.05) change the surface color of carrots but significantly (P < 0.05) decreased both hardness and weight, and has an impact on the sensory. This study showed that US + CT is a promising cleaning method that will provide new ideas for the preservation of fresh agricultural produce.

Abstract
In the postharvest storage of Chinese bayberry, microbial loads and exogenous contaminants pose significant challenges, leading to rapid decay and deterioration in quality. This study introduced a synergistic approach, combining ultrasonics and slightly acidic electrolyzed water (US + SAEW), to enhance the postharvest storage quality of Chinese bayberry. This approach was benchmarked against conventional water washing (CW), standalone ultrasonic (US), and slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) processing. Notably, compared to CW, the US + SAEW method enhanced iprodione and procymidone removal rates by 69.62 % and 72.45 % respectively, improved dirt removal efficiency by 122.87 %, repelled drosophila melanogaster larvae by 58.33 %, and curtailed total bacterial, mold & yeast growth by 78.18 % and 83.09 %. Furthermore, it postponed the appearance of sample decay by 6 days, compared to 4 days for both US and SAEW alone. From a physicochemical perspective, compared to CW-treated samples, US + SAEW processing mitigated weight loss and color deviations, retained hardness, amplified the sugar-acid ratio, augmented activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase enzymes, suppressed polyphenol oxidase activity and malondialdehyde synthesis, and preserved total phenolic, anthocyanin, and antioxidant levels. These findings underscore the potential of US + SAEW as a strategic tool to preserve the quality of Chinese bayberry during postharvest storage.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of multi-frequency ultrasound-assisted sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) on fresh-cut scallion stem (FCS) cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaning parameters (frequency mode, frequency amplitude, and the sample to water ratios) were optimized against cleanliness and microbial biomass as evaluation indexes. Under the optimum conditions, the free chlorine residues and quality attributes of FCS were also investigated. The results showed that the cleanliness of FCS improved significantly (p < 0.05) and the total number of microorganisms, especially Escherichia coli, decreased dramatically under the optimized cleaning condition with the simultaneous ultrasound (US) at the sweep frequency (SF) combination of 20 + 28 kHz, the ultrasonic density of 60 W/L, pulse time of 10 s, which indicated that the shelf life of FCS would be extended. Compared to FCS after the 250 ppm NaClO cleaning, the retention of ascorbic acid (AA), color, and texture structure of FCS had no significant difference after ultrasound-assisted NaClO treatment. Meanwhile, the content of allicin increased by 52.5% under ultrasound-assisted cleaning. The integration of US into the cleaning process resulted in a notably reduction of 68% in NaClO concentration, as well as the weight loss and respiration rate (RR) of the scallion stems. Therefore, ultrasound-assisted NaClO cleaning was regarded as a promising and effective approach for cleaning fresh-cut vegetables.

Abstract
Ultrasound generates cavities in liquids with high-energy behaviour due to large pressure variations, leading to (bio)chemical effects and material modification. Numerous cavity-based treatments in food processes have been reported, but the transition from research to industrial applications is hampered by specific engineering factors, such as the combination of several ultrasound sources, more powerful wave generators or tank geometry. The challenges and development of cavity-based treatments developed for the food industry are reviewed with examples limited to two representative raw materials (fruit and milk) with significantly different properties. Both active compound extraction and food processing techniques based on ultrasound are taken into consideration.

Fernandes FAN, Rodrigues S. Ultrasound applications in drying of fruits from a sustainable development goals perspective. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 96:106430. [PMID: 37167783 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
This review focuses on the many contributions of ultrasound technologies for fruit drying toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Along this review, several aspects attained from the application of ultrasound technologies are correlated with the SDGs. The main ultrasonic technologies applied for fruit drying, such as ultrasonic bath, probe ultrasound, air-borne ultrasound air-drying, and ultrasound-assisted contact air-drying, are presented. An in-depth discussion on ultrasound contributions, its advantages, disadvantages, and limitations are made. The effects of ultrasound on water diffusivity in several fruits are presented by correlating this effect with drying time and cost of energy. Ultrasound-assisted fruit drying, like other food processing technologies, directly impacts Zero Hunger, but ultrasound technologies contribute to much more than delivering long shelf-life food. This technology can be used to produce healthy foods and provide well-being, which will be discussed by correlating the effects of ultrasound-assisted air-drying with the concentration of nutritional compounds. Ultrasound-assisted fruit drying reduces wastewater toxicity and energy consumption and improves productivity, potentially improving workplaces and salaries. A walk through the technology is presented from Zero Hunger to No Poverty.

Abstract
This study explores the relationship between the storage quality and bacterial microflora in the mushroom Lyophyllum decastes. The surface bacteria of L. decastes were separated by combining the traditional culture plate separation and 16S rRNA sequencing method, to study the effects of ultrasonic (US) treatment on the surface bacteria of L. decastes during storage. The results demonstrated that Pantoea agglomerans and Pseudomonas fluorescens were among the 15 culturable bacteria isolated with traditional plate method during storage, belonging to 2 phyla and 7 genera. US treatment could inhibit the growth and significantly increase cell membrane permeability, and contents extravasation in P. agglomerans, though its inhibitory effect on P. fluorescens was less. The 16S rRNA sequencing revealed, bacteria from 9 phyla and 35 genera were isolated, and P. fluorescens was the dominant species throughout the storage time. These results indicated that the composition of mushroom surface microflora of Control (CK) and US groups are similar, and the bacterial microflora networks analysis also showed a positive correlation. The KEGG annotation for the functional classification of the bacteria showed that a total of 328 pathways were acquired at the KEGG l3 level, and the relative abundance of membrane transport, amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and energy metabolism pathway was high. Moreover, the relative abundance of the surface bacteria of L. decastes also decreased. Hence, the US treatment had a better bacteriostatic effect, maintained the whiteness index and firmness, and improved the sensory quality of L. decastes during storage.

Abstract
Ultrasonic washing has been proved to be an abiotic elicitor to induce the accumulation of phenolics in some fruit and vegetables. However, the feasibility of ultrasonic washing on the accumulation of phenolics in fresh-cut red cabbages has not yet been reported. Therefore, the effects of ultrasonic washing on the phenolics and related phenolic metabolism enzymes of fresh-cut red cabbages, as well as quality and microbial safety during cold storage, were investigated. Firstly, the single-factor tests were used to optimize the ultrasonic processing parameters, including frequency mode, frequency amplitude, power density, frequency cycle time, and ultrasonic washing. Then the activities of the enzymes related to phenolic metabolisms after optimal ultrasound treatment were investigated, including phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and peroxidase (POD). Additionally, the quality and microbial safety of fresh-cut red cabbages stored at 4°C under the optimal ultrasound treatment were evaluated. The results showed that the content of soluble phenolics (SPs) in fresh-cut red cabbages increased significantly during storage under the optimal conditions (28 ± 2 kHz, 60 W/L, 400 ms, and 20 min) compared with the control (P < 0.05). The PAL activity was activated and the PPO and POD activities were inhibited after ultrasonic washing, which contributed to the increase in the content of SPs. Meanwhile, the storage quality and microbial safety of fresh-cut red cabbages were improved. Ultrasonic washing reduced the weight loss and respiration rate and improved the color and texture characteristics. Additionally, the fresh-cut red cabbages after ultrasonic washing showed more retention of ascorbic acid (AA), total soluble proteins (TSPs), total soluble sugars (TSSs), and total soluble solids (SSs) compared with the control. Finally, ultrasonic washing effectively inhibited the growth of bacteria, molds and yeasts, which is beneficial to the extension of the shelf-life of fresh-cut red cabbages. Therefore, ultrasonic washing can be used as a tool to increase the content of SPs in fresh-cut red cabbages while retaining quality attributes and microbial safety.

Abstract
Antibiotics have been widely used to treat several infectious diseases. However, the overuse of antibiotics has promoted the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in various fields, including the food industry. In this study, the antimicrobial efficacies of two conventional sterilization methods, mild heat, and sonication, were evaluated and optimized to develop a new strategy against ARB. Simultaneous mild heat and sonication (HS) treatment led to a significant reduction in viable cell counts, achieving a 5.58-log reduction in 4 min. However, no remarkable decrease in viable cell counts was observed in individually treated groups. Interestingly, the release of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) increased in a time-dependent manner in the heat-treated and HS-treated groups. The inactivation levels of ARGs increased as the HS treatment time increased from 2 to 8 min, and most ARGs were degraded after 8 min. In contrast, no significant inactivation of ARGs was observed in the heat-treated and sonication-treated groups after 8 min. These results reveal the synergistic effect of the combination treatment in controlling not only ARB but also ARGs. Finally, on applying this newly developed combination treatment to fresh food (cherry tomato and carrot juice), 3.97- and 4.28-log microbial inactivation was achieved, respectively. In addition, combination treatment did not affect food quality during storage for 5 days. Moreover, HS treatment effectively inactivated ARGs in fresh food systems.

Combination of ultrasound-peracetic acid washing and ultrasound-assisted aerosolized ascorbic acid: A novel rinsing-free disinfection method that improves the antibacterial and antioxidant activities in cherry tomato. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 86:106001. [PMID: 35405541 PMCID: PMC9011114 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Traditional ultrasound (US)-assisted disinfection is only effective during washing. Coating is an effective method to control microbial growth after washing; however, cross-contamination can occur during immersion in the coating aqueous solution. Tap water (TW) rinsing is generally used to remove sanitizer residues after US-assisted washing; however, the Food and Drug Administration stated that rinsing is unnecessary when the peracetic acid (PAA) concentration does not exceed 80 ppm. In this study, we proposed a novel US-assisted hurdle technology of 80 ppm PAA combined with low-frequency US (25 kHz) during washing, followed by US-assisted aerosolization processing (nonimmersion coating). Ascorbic acid (AA), a safe and low-cost agent, was selected as the aerosolization solution. Cherry tomatoes were selected as the model, and the proposed method was compared with traditional US-assisted disinfection methods (US-10 ppm free chlorine washing + TW rinsing and US-5 ppm chlorine dioxide washing + TW rinsing) to analyze the disinfection efficacy and quality changes. During storage, US-PAA + 1%AA facilitated additional 0.7-0.9, 0.6-0.8, 0.7-1.0, and 0.5-1.0 log CFU/g reductions in the counts of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, aerobic mesophilic counts, and molds and yeasts, respectively, as compared with traditional US-assisted methods. Sensory properties, color index, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and weight loss were not negatively affected by any of the treatments. Firmness was slightly reduced after all treatments; however, the firmness of the samples was maintained during storage, in contrast with the decreased firmness observed in the control. Phenolic content and antioxidant activity significantly increased after all treatments. Further analysis of two key enzymes (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase) involved in phenolic synthesis showed that their levels significantly increased following all treatments, leading to an increase in phenolic content and antioxidant activity. This result also indicated that US-assisted washing could act as an abiotic elicitor to increase nutritional content. Overall, US-PAA + 1%AA treatment served as an effective method for disinfecting produce during washing and for controlling microbial growth after washing without prolonging the processing time, which is an advantage over traditional US-assisted washing.

Abstract
The influence of ultrasound (US) pretreatments combined with infrared (IRD) and hot-air (HAD) drying on drying kinetics, mathematical modeling, bioactive compounds (antioxidant activities, Vitamin C, phenolics, and flavonoid contents), qualitative properties (β-carotene, total carotenoids, color indexes, textural profile), enzyme inactivation, and exergetic analysis of sweet potatoes. The US pretreatment at 40 kHz combined with IRD and HAD (70 °C) significantly lessened the drying time and water contents. Besides, it did not affect the sweet potato's bioactive components and other quality-related attributes. The samples' activation energy (Ea) ranged from 17.60 to 29.86 kJ/mol for both dryers, with R2 (0.999-0.9809). Control samples had the highest specific energy consumption (SEC) due to the extended drying period, whereas ultrasound (40 kHz) treated samples had the lowest SEC during HAD and IRD at 80 °C. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that increasing the drying temperature lowers the enthalpy and Gibbs free energy, while entropy resulted in negative values. HAD had better textural qualities (hardness and resilience). The US pretreatments followed by HAD or IRD may lead to an energy-efficient method with acceptable quality maintenance.

Abstract
The tomato is one of the most important species in the food sector. For farmers, the increase in yield in greenhouse conditions by keeping a high quality of fruits represents a goal which is very difficult to achieve in these conditions. Therefore, the present study evaluates the influence that a continuous electric current might have on some biometrical, physiological and quality parameters of tomato fruits. The study was carried out in a greenhouse where tomato plants belonging to Qualitet F1 hybrid were treated with different continuous electric currents, under 5 DC sources, stabilized by the laboratory 0–30 V/0–5 A. During the research, the tomato plants were exposed to different electric current intensities or voltages on the plants or in the soil (T1-0.15 A; T2-0.30 A; T3-0.45 A; T4-1.5 V; T5-1.5 V-soil). The tomato plant samples were compared with an untreated control. In order to determine the influence of a continuous electric current, observations and determinations were made on tomato plants and fruits. The results highlighted significant differences between the treated and not treated plants, regarding the plant height, yield, firmness, acidity, total soluble solids, antioxidant activity, crude and dietary fibres, tannins, oxalates, saponins, α-amylase inhibitors, K, Mg, Fe and Zn content. Depending on the intensity of the electric current and the manner of application, the biometrical, physiological and quality parameters of tomato fruits were differently influenced. Both positive and negative influences were registered. More experiments are needed in order to establish a relation between the electric current intensity and the manner of application which can lead to better and higher tomato yields and quality in greenhouse conditions.

This study investigated the effect of single and dual frequency ultrasound washing on freshly cut cauliflower, by pulsed and sweep frequency modes, with or without the addition of zinc acetate (ZA), tea saponin (TS) and ethanol (ET). Results showed that the surface microorganisms were efficiently decreased by sweep dual frequency ultrasound washing. Moreover, the use of 0.5% ZA, or 0.06% TS or 5% ET as washing solution improved the bacterial reduction efficiency. Reducing the interfacial tension, viscosity and contact angle of washing solution may strengthen ultrasound cavitation. Nearly 2.0 log CFU/g natural microorganisms were decreased, and shelf life was extended from 2 to 4-8 days under 4 °C. Physicochemical parameters of bioactive compounds content, enzyme activity, antioxidant ability, freshness were analyzed. Results showed that 0.5% ZA as washing solution of ultrasound washing was beneficial to the quality maintenance during storage period.

Abstract
Effects of ultrasound (US, 300, 400, and 500 W) and slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW, 10, 30, and 50 mg/L) combination on inactivating Rhizopus stolonifer in sweet potato tuberous roots (TRs) were investigated. US at 300, 400, and 500 W simultaneous SAEW with available chlorine concentration of 50 mg/L at 40 and 55 °C for 10 min significantly inhibited colony diameters (from 90.00 to 6.00-71.62 mm) and spores germination (p < 0.05). US + SAEW treatment could destroy cell membrane integrity and lead to the leakage of nucleic acids and proteins (p < 0.05). Scanning and transmission electron microscopy results showed that US + SAEW treatment could damage ultrastructure of R. stolonifer, resulted in severe cell-wall pitting, completely disrupted into debris, apparent separation of plasma wall, massive vacuoles space, and indistinct intracellular organelles. US500 + SAEW50 treatment at 40 and 55 °C increased cell membrane permeability, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential of R. stolonifer. In addition, US500 + SAEW50 at 40 °C and US300 + SAEW50 at 55 °C controlled R. stolonifer growth in sweet potato TRs during 20 days of storage, suggesting effective inhibition on the infection of R. stolonifer. Therefore, US + SAEW treatment could be a new efficient alternative method for storing and preserving sweet potato TRs.

High-Pressure Processing and Ultrasonication of Minimally Processed Potatoes: Effect on the Colour, Microbial Counts, and Bioactive Compounds. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26092614.

Abstract
HPP at 600 MPa alone, and in combination with US at 20 kHz (200 W), was applied to minimally processed potatoes of two commonly grown cultivars in Ireland. Changes in colour and microbial load (Enterobacteriaceae, total aerobic count, Salmonella, yeasts, and moulds) were monitored in vacuum-packaged potatoes during 14 days of storage at 4 °C. HPP and HPP/US significantly (p < 0.05) affected the colour parameters a*, b*, L*, and ΔE of minimally processed potatoes compared to the controls. Microbial growth was delayed in most of the treated samples with respect to those untreated (controls), while HPP completely inactivated Enterobacteriaceae in both cultivars. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activities were not altered in the treated samples of both varieties when compared to the controls. The levels of chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and caffeic acid were decreased after both treatments, with a significant (p < 0.05) increase in quinic acid in the treated samples as opposed to those untreated. A significant (p < 0.05) decrease in the levels of glycoalkaloids, namely α-chaconine and α-solanine, in HPP- and HPP/US-treated potatoes was also observed. These findings suggest that HPP and US can extend the shelf-life of minimally processed potatoes with a negligible impact on their antioxidant activity and phenolic content.

Abstract
Difficulty of Pomegranate fruit peeling and arils separation are the main motivations of progressive ready-to-eat pomegranate fresh arils industry. Also, extracted pomegranate arils are highly perishable due to water loss and microbial contamination expose. The aim of the current work was then to evaluate the effect of ultrasound for 15 and 30 min on maintenance of bioactive compounds and microbial load reduction of pomegranate arils cv. Rabbab. Treated arils were kept at 5 °C and analyzed during 15 days of storage. The most and least weight loss of arils obtained in control and 30 min treated samples, respectively. After 12 days of storage, all samples were decayed except those treated for 15 and 30 min. The ultrasound treatment significantly prevented degradation of anthocyanin and ascorbic acid compounds. Total phenol and antioxidant activity decreased during storage. At the end of storage, the most total phenol content (3898.6 mg GAE L-1) was found in arils treated for 30 min whereas the most anthocyanin (91.93 mg L-1), total antioxidant activity (82.65%), and ascorbic acid (2.53 mg L-1) were found in arils treated for 15 min. Ultrasound treated arils had lower microbial load (total mesophilic bacteria in control and 30-min treated samples) in each stage during storage. At the end of storage, the microbial load in treated and control arils was 0.7 and 0.2 Log CFU g-1, respectively). Overall, ultrasound treatment effectively reduced weight loss and preserved bioactive compounds during storage.

Abstract
Ultraviolet-C radiation and ultrasound technology are widely accepted and continuously being appraised as alternatives to conventional thermal techniques for decontamination of fruits and vegetables. However, studies in these areas have presented challenges related to quality, safety, limited capability, and cost of energy. This review paper presents an up-to-date summary of applications of ultraviolet-C radiation and ultrasound technology for postharvest handling of fruits and vegetables from relevant literature. The limitations associated with applications of ultraviolet-C radiation and ultrasound technology individually has prompted their combination alongside other antimicrobial strategies for enhanced bactericidal effect. The combination of ultraviolet-C radiation and ultrasound technology as a hurdle approach also provides enhanced efficiency, cost effectiveness, and reduced processing time without compromising quality. The review includes further scope of industrial-led collaboration and commercialization of ultraviolet-C radiation and ultrasound technology such as scale-up studies and process optimization.

Abstract
Development of novel and effective decontamination technologies to ensure the microbiological safety of fresh produce has gained considerable attention, mainly driven by numerous outbreaks. This work presented the first approach regarding to the application of the previously reported hurdle technologies on the sanitization of artificially contaminated cherry tomatoes. Thyme (Thymus daenensis) essential oil nanoemulsion (TEON, 8.28 nm in diameter with a narrow size distribution) was formulated via ultrasonic nanoemulsification, showing remarkably improved antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7, compared to the coarse emulsion. The antimicrobial effect of ultrasound (US), thyme essential oil nanoemulsion (TEON) and the combination of both treatments was assessed against E. coli O157:H7. The remarkable synergistic effects of the combined treatments were achieved, which decontaminated the E. coli populations by 4.49-6.72 log CFU/g on the surface of cherry tomatoes, and led to a reduction of 4.48-6.94 log CFU/sample of the total inactivation. TEON combined with US were effective in reducing the presence of bacteria in wastewater, which averted the potential detrimental effect of cross-contamination resulted from washing wastewater in fresh produce industry. Moreover, the treatments did not noticeably alter the surface color and firmness of cherry tomatoes. Therefore, ultrasound combined with TEON is a promising and feasible alternative for the reduction of microbiological contaminants, as well as retaining the quality characteristics of cherry tomatoes.

Abstract
Ultrasound requires high power and longer treatment times to inactivate microorganisms when compared to ultrasound combined with other technologies. Also, the antimicrobial efficiency of aqueous ozone increases with an increase in its concentration and exposure time, but with a detrimental effect on the quality of the treated food. In this study, the effect of aqueous ozone at low concentration, multi-mode frequency irradiation and their combination on microbial safety and nutritional quality of cherry tomato was investigated. Individual washing with aqueous ozone and mono-mode frequency irradiation resulted in <1 log CFU/g reduction in the spoilage microorganisms, while dual-mode frequency irradiation (DMFI) resulted in higher microbial reduction (1.3-2.6 1 log CFU/g). The combined system (20/40 kHz + aqueous ozone) on the other hand, resulted in >3 log CFU/g microbial reduction. The application of DMFI enhanced the antimicrobial efficiency of aqueous ozone without any detrimental effect on the physicochemical properties (except the firmness), bioactive compounds, and antioxidants of the cherry tomato during 21 days refrigerated storage. The result obtained indicates the promising substitute to the single washing technique for microbial safety as well as preserving the nutritional quality and enhancing the shelf life of cherry tomato.

Fan K, Zhang M, Jiang F. Ultrasound treatment to modified atmospheric packaged fresh-cut cucumber: Influence on microbial inhibition and storage quality. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2019; 54:162-170. [PMID: 30755388 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2019.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 95] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Revised: 02/01/2019] [Accepted: 02/02/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Influence of ultrasound treatment on microorganisms and the quality of modified atmospheric packaged fresh-cut cucumber during storage were investigated. Fresh-cut cucumber was treated with ultrasound (US, 20 kHz) in different time (5, 10 and 15 min) and then modified atmospheric packaged as well as stored at 4 °C for 15 d. The results showed that US treatment inhibited the growth of total number of colonies, mold and yeast in modified atmospheric packaged fresh-cut cucumber during storage. US treatment for 10 min effectively reduced the loss of weight, firmness, total soluble solids and total color change (ΔE), the increase of MDA content and the degradation of ascorbic acid content and flavor, as well as decreased water mobility and maintained cell wall integrity in fresh-cut cucumber during storage. Therefore, these results demonstrated that US treatment was helpful for inhibiting microorganisms and improving storage quality, and could be an effective method to enhance the preservative effect of modified atmospheric packaged fresh-cut cucumber.

Effects of ultrasound, osmotic dehydration, and osmosonication pretreatments on bioactive compounds, chemical characterization, enzyme inactivation, color, and antioxidant activity of dried ginger slices. J Food Biochem 2019; 43:e12832. [PMID: 31353512 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.12832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2018] [Revised: 02/06/2019] [Accepted: 02/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The effect of ultrasound (US), osmotic dehydration (OD), and osmosonication (OS) pretreatments on total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content, (TFC), phytochemical constituents (gingerol derivatives and diarylheptanoids), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), cupric ion reducing capacity (CUPRAC), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power capacity (FRAP), and color of ginger slices dried under relative humidity convective dryer was investigated. OS pretreatment improved the preservation of TPC (13.80-34.79 mg GAE/g d.w), TFC (26.46-62.16 mg CE/g d.w), ABTS (30.37%-86.10%), CUPRAC (36.89-73.97 mg/g), DPPH (50.57%-92.60%), FRAP (26.44-83 mg/g), and phytochemical constituents than US and OD. The OS-treated sample was more effective in inactivating both PPO (12.09%-35.93%) and POD (16.21%-39.58%) enzymes compared to US and OD-treated samples. However, US pretreatment retained the color quality of dried ginger slices than the OS and OD treatments. OS pretreatment (5.43) also increased the total color change (ΔE) of the dried ginger samples compared to US (2.81) and OD (4.60). PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Ginger is commonly used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries owing to their distinctive flavor and various health potentials. However, its high moisture content makes its inappropriate for long-term storage which results in its high perishability. Drying is one of the most common techniques to prolong its shelf life. Hence, any pretreatment for ginger that reduces the moistures content and lessens the drying time by preserving the quality of the crop is of vital importance. Ultrasound, osmotic dehydration, and osmosonication are novel pretreatment techniques that are widely used prior to drying of various agricultural products due to its numerous advantages over conventional methods. Its application in drying of foods could help shorten the drying time, reduce processing costs, improve energy consumption and efficiency, and preserve the physical and nutritional properties of the dried product. The current findings will also offer more information for selecting pretreatment techniques for ginger drying.
