Lee EJ, Kim SH, Park SH. Effect of high hydrostatic pressure treatment on the inactivation and sublethal injury of foodborne pathogens and quality of apple puree at different pH. Food Microbiol 2023; 114:104302. [PMID: 37290878 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the survival of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)-treated Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes in apple puree, as well as to determine the levels of HHP-induced cell injury according to the pressure level, holding time, and pH of apple puree. Apple puree was inoculated with three foodborne pathogens and treated at pressures of 300-600 MPa for up to 7 min at 22 °C using HHP equipment. Increasing the pressure level and lowering the pH of apple puree led to larger microbial reductions, and E. coli O157:H7 showed higher resistance compared to S. Typhimurium and L. monocytogenes. Besides, approximately 5-log injured cells of E. coli O157:H7 were induced in apple puree at pH 3.5 and 3.8. HHP treatment at 500 MPa for 2 min effectively achieved complete inactivation of the three pathogens in apple puree at pH 3.5. For apple puree at pH 3.8, more than 2 min treatment of HHP at 600 MPa is seemingly needed to achieve complete inactivation of the three pathogens. Transmission electron microscopy analysis was conducted to identify ultrastructural changes in the injured or dead cells after HHP treatment. Plasmolysis and uneven cavities in the cytoplasm were observed in injured cells, and additional deformations, such as distorted and rough cell envelopes, and cell disruption occurred in dead cells. No changes in solid soluble content (SSC) and color of apple puree were observed after HHP treatment, and no differences were detected between control and HHP-treated samples during 10 d of storage at 5 °C. The results of this study could be useful in determining the acidity of apple purees or the treatment time at specific acidity levels when applying the HHP processing.

Food Res Int 2023; 165:112536. [PMID: 36869540 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Sublethally injured state has been recognized as a survival strategy for microorganisms suffering from stressful environments. Injured cells fail to grow on selective media but can normally grow on nonselective media. Numerous microorganism species can form sublethal injury in various food matrices during processing and preservation with different techniques. Injury rate was commonly used to evaluate sublethal injury, but mathematical models for the quantification and interpretation of sublethally injured microbial cells still require further study. Injured cells can repair themselves and regain viability on selective media under favorable conditions when stress is removed. Conventional culture methods might underestimate microbial counts or present a false negative result due to the presence of injured cells. Although the structural and functional components may be affected, the injured cells pose a great threat to food safety. This work comprehensively reviewed the quantification, formation, detection, resuscitation and adaption of sublethally injured microbial cells. Food processing techniques, microbial species, strains and food matrix all significantly affect the formation of sublethally injured cells. Culture-based methods, molecular biological methods, fluorescent staining and infrared spectroscopy have been developed to detect the injured cells. Cell membrane is often repaired first during resuscitation of injured cells, meanwhile, temperature, pH, media and additives remarkably influence the resuscitation. The adaption of injured cells negatively affects the microbial inactivation during food processing.

Biomolecules under Pressure: Phase Diagrams, Volume Changes, and High Pressure Spectroscopic Techniques. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105761. [PMID: 35628571 PMCID: PMC9144967 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23105761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Pressure is an equally important thermodynamical parameter as temperature. However, its importance is often overlooked in the biophysical and biochemical investigations of biomolecules and biological systems. This review focuses on the application of high pressure (>100 MPa = 1 kbar) in biology. Studies of high pressure can give insight into the volumetric aspects of various biological systems; this information cannot be obtained otherwise. High-pressure treatment is a potentially useful alternative method to heat-treatment in food science. Elevated pressure (up to 120 MPa) is present in the deep sea, which is a considerable part of the biosphere. From a basic scientific point of view, the application of the gamut of modern spectroscopic techniques provides information about the conformational changes of biomolecules, fluctuations, and flexibility. This paper reviews first the thermodynamic aspects of pressure science, the important parameters affecting the volume of a molecule. The technical aspects of high pressure production are briefly mentioned, and the most common high-pressure-compatible spectroscopic techniques are also discussed. The last part of this paper deals with the main biomolecules, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids: how they are affected by pressure and what information can be gained about them using pressure. I I also briefly mention a few supramolecular structures such as viruses and bacteria. Finally, a subjective view of the most promising directions of high pressure bioscience is outlined.
