Mostafa HS. Banana plant as a source of valuable antimicrobial compounds and its current applications in the food sector. J Food Sci 2021; 86:3778-3797. [PMID: 34337757 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Revised: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Bananas (Musaceae) are one of the world's most common fruit crops and the oldest medicinal plants that are used to treat a variety of infections. There has been recent interest in elucidating the efficiency of the naturally active ingredients, particularly the antimicrobials, in this plant. This review begins with a short background of the banana plant and its cultivars as well as a brief description of its parts. Different experimental tests of the antimicrobial effects and the responsible bioactive compounds of the banana part extracts are then elaborated. A variety of recent and evolving applications of banana parts in the development of functional bakery, dairy, beverage, and meat products as a wheat substitute, fiber/prebiotic source, fat/sucrose substitute, and natural antioxidant are also discussed. Finally, the recent challenges and opportunities presented by different banana parts in creating bio-packaging materials and bactericidal nanoparticles are addressed. This plant contains a variety of antimicrobial substances, including dopamine, gentisic acid, ferulic acid, lupeol, and 3-carene. However, few studies have been conducted on its use as a bio-preservative in food products; it should also be seen as a natural source of both antimicrobial and antioxidant agents. It offers a potentially simple eco-friendly alternative to antibacterial and fungicidal agents rather than chemicals. Low cost, reliable methods for purifying these compounds from banana waste could be useful for food storage and creating more value-added bio-packaging products for perishable food goods.

Effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus on growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in a probiotic Minas Frescal cheese. Food Microbiol 2020; 92:103557. [PMID: 32950151 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2020.103557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2019] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, inoculated alone or in combination on surface of Minas Frescal cheeses, during storage for 21 days at 7 °C. Survival percentages of each individual bacterial species after exposure to in vitro simulated gastrointestinal conditions (SGC) were also determined. The addition of L. rhamnosus did not affect (P > 0.05) pH, moisture, fat, protein and texture profile of Minas Frescal cheeses. L. rhamnosus was able to survive in suitable counts (>6 Log CFU/g) in cheeses from the 7th day of storage, with high survival (>74.6-86.4%) after SGC. An inhibitory effect of L. rhamnosus on L. monocytogenes was observed in cheeses (decrease of 1.1-1.6 Log CFU/g) and after SGC (20% reduction in the survival). No inhibitory effect of L. rhamnosus was observed on S. aureus counts (P > 0.05), and this microorganism did not survive the exposure to SGC. In conclusion, the addition of L. rhamnosus in Minas Frescal cheese has a potential for L. monocytogenes inhibition. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the inhibition process and determine the survival ability of the bacterial species evaluated in in vivo experiments.
