Abstract
This work aimed to establish an integrated approach to investigate the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of dried skim camel and cow milk and their fractions. The milk fractions were obtained by acid or enzymatic coagulation followed by spray drying (inlet temperature/outlet temperature: 125 ± 2 °C/90 ± 2 °C) or freeze drying (−50 °C, 0.05 mbar) coupled or not to gamma irradiation (at 5, 11, 22 kGy). The results showed that the total phenolic content (measured in gallic acid equivalent, GAE) varied depending on the drying technique. The freeze-drying process corresponded to the highest values of total phenolic compounds, with 247.23 ± 2.08 mg GAE/100 g powder for the β-casein fraction of camel milk (βC CaM) and 621.13 ± 4.16 mg GAE/100 g powder for the β-casein fraction of cow milk (βC CoM). Compared to spray-dried fractions, freeze-dried fractions showed generally higher ferric reducing antioxidant power for both camel milk and cow milk. The highest values of free radical scavenging activity were seen in the spray-dried β-casein fractions of camel milk (βC CaM) and cow milk (βC CoM) and in the freeze-dried acid whey of cow and camel milk (AW CaM and AW CaM). Freeze-dried acid whey (AW CaM and AW CoM) appeared to be less sensitive to gamma irradiation at 5 and 11 kGy.

Modeling the UV-C Inactivation Kinetics and Determination of Fluence Required for Incremental Inactivation of Cronobacter spp. J Food Prot 2022; 85:1625-1634.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A study was undertaken to model the UV-C inactivation kinetics and determine the fluences required for the incremental inactivation of several strains of Cronobacter spp. suspended in clear phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In total, 13 strains of Cronobacter spp. were individually suspended in PBS and treated with UV-C doses of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mJ cm-2 with a collimated beam device emitting UV-C at 253.7 nm. The log reduction from each treatment was identified using the plate count method and plotted against the UV-C dose and then curve fitted using several mathematical models. The UV-C dose required for incremental inactivation of each isolate was determined using both linear and nonlinear regression. For the 13 strains tested, a UV-C dose of 10 mJ cm-2 inactivated between 3.66 ± 0.101 and 5.04 ± 0.465 log CFU mL-1. The survival behavior of all strains was best fitted to the Weibull+tail model, with correlation coefficients between 97.17 and 99.71%, and was used to determine the fluences required for incremental inactivation. The UV-C fluences needed to inactivate 1 log (D10-value) of Cronobacter spp. in buffer were between 3.53 and 5.50 mJ cm-2, whereas a fluence greater than 6.57 mJ cm-2 was required to achieve a 4-log inactivation. A clear understanding of the UV-C dose-response of several strains of Cronobacter spp. lays the foundation to design effective UV-based disinfection systems. HIGHLIGHTS

Inactivation of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes in Tahini by Microwave Heating. Foods 2021; 10:foods10122972. [PMID: 34945523 PMCID: PMC8700748 DOI: 10.3390/foods10122972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Tahini (sesame paste) is a traditional food. Numerous foodborne outbreaks have been associated with it. This study aimed to (i) explore the efficiency of 2450 MHz microwave heating at 220, 330, 440, 550, and 660 W on the inactivation of Salmonella spp, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes in tahini; (ii) determine the impact of desiccation and starvation stresses on pathogen survival; (iii) assess the impact of microwave heating on the physicochemical characteristics of tahini. The inoculated microorganisms in tahini were reduced with higher microwave power levels (p < 0.05) and longer exposure times. The D-values of unstressed Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7, and L. monocytogenes ranged from 6.18 to 0.50 min, 6.08 to 0.50 min, and 4.69 to 0.48 min, respectively, at power levels of 220 to 660 W, with z-values of 410, 440, and 460 W, respectively. Generally, desiccation and starvation stress levels prior to heating increased microbial resistance to heat treatment. Microwave heating did not affect acid, peroxide, p-anisidine, or color values of tahini up to 90 °C. These findings reveal microwave heating as a potential method for lowering the risk of Salmonella spp., E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes in tahini with no compromise on quality.

A New Insight into the Bactericidal Mechanism of 405 nm Blue Light-Emitting-Diode against Dairy Sourced Cronobacter sakazakii. Foods 2021; 10:foods10091996. [PMID: 34574108 PMCID: PMC8470084 DOI: 10.3390/foods10091996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Limited evidence exists addressing the action of antimicrobial visible light against Cronobacter sakazakii. Here, we investigated the antimicrobial effects of blue-LED (light emitting diode) at 405 nm against two persistent dairy environment sourced strains of C. sakazakii (ES191 and AGRFS2961). (2) Methods: Beside of investigating cell survival by counts, the phenotypic characteristics of the strains were compared with a reference strain (BAA894) by evaluating the metabolic rate, cell membrane permeability, and ROS level. (3) Results: The two environment isolates (ES191 and AGRFS2961) were more metabolic active and ES191 showed dramatic permeability change of the outer membrane. Notably, we detected varied impacts of different ROS scavengers (catalase > thiourea > superoxide dismutase) during light application, suggesting that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the reducing target of catalase, has a key role during blue light inactivation. This finding was further strengthened, following the observation that the combined effect of external H2O2 (sublethal concentration) and 405 nm LED, achieved an additional 2–4 log CFU reduction for both stationary phase and biofilm cells. (4) Conclusions: H2O2 could be used in combination with blue light to enhance bactericidal efficacy and form the basis of a new hurdle technology for controlling C. sakazakii in dairy processing plants.

Abstract
Bovine colostrum (BC) contains bioactive proteins, such as immunoglobulin G (IgG), lactoferrin (LF) and lactoperoxidase (LP). BC was subjected to low-temperature, long-time pasteurization (LTLT, 63 °C, 30 min) or high-temperature, short-time pasteurization (HTST, 72 °C, 15 s) and spray-drying (SD), with or without γ-irradiation (GI, ∼14 kGy) to remove microbial contamination. Relative to unpasteurized liquid BC, SD plus GI increased protein denaturation by 6 and 11%, respectively, increasing to 19 and 27% after LTLT and to 48% after HTST, with no further effects after GI (all P < 0.05). LTLT, without or with GI, resulted in 15 or 29% denaturation of IgG, compared with non-pasteurized BC, and 34 or 58% for HTST treatment (all P < 0.05, except LTLT without GI). For IgG, only GI, not SD or LTLT, increased denaturation (30-38%, P < 0.05) but HTST increased denaturation to 40%, with further increases after GI (60%, P < 0.05). LTLT and HTST reduced LP levels (56 and 81% respectively) and LTLT reduced LF levels (21%), especially together with GI (47%, P < 0.05). Denaturation of BSA, β-LgA, β-LgB and α-La were similar to IgG. Methionine, a protective amino acid against free oxygen radicals, was oxidised by LTLT + GI (P < 0.05) while LTLT and HTST had no effect. Many anti-inflammatory proteins, including serpin anti-proteinases were highly sensitive to HTST and GI but preserved after LTLT pasteurization. LTLT, followed by SD is an optimal processing technique preserving bioactive proteins when powdered BC is used as a diet supplement for sensitive patients.

Abstract
Bacteria from the genus Cronobacter are opportunistic foodborne pathogens capable of causing severe infections in neonates, the elderly and immunocompromised adults. The majority of neonatal infections have been linked epidemiologically to dehydrated powdered infant formulas (PIFs), the majority of which are manufactured using processes that do not ensure commercial sterility. Unfortunately, the osmotolerance, desiccation resistance, mild thermotolerance and wide-ranging minimum, optimum and maximum growth temperatures of Cronobacter spp. are conducive to survival and/or growth during the processing, reconstitution and storage of reconstituted PIFs. Consequently, considerable research has been directed at the development of alternative strategies for the control of Cronobacter spp. in PIFs, including approaches that employ antimicrobial compounds derived from natural sources. The latter include a range of phytochemicals ranging from crude extracts or essential oils derived from various plants (e.g., thyme, cinnamon, clove, marjoram, cumin, mint, fennel), to complex polyphenolic extracts (e.g., muscadine seed, pomegranate peel, olive oil, and cocoa powder extracts), purified simple phenolic compounds (e.g., carvacrol, citral, thymol, eugenol, diacetyl, vanillin, cinnamic acid, trans-cinnamaldehyde, ferulic acid), and medium chain fatty acids (monocaprylin, caprylic acid). Antimicrobials derived from microbial sources (e.g., nisin, other antibacterial peptides, organic acids, coenzyme Q0) and animal sources (e.g., chitosan, lactoferrin, antibacterial peptides from milk) have also been shown to exhibit antibacterial activity against the species. The selection of antimicrobials for the control of Cronobacter spp. requires an understanding of activity at different temperatures, knowledge about their mode of action, and careful consideration for toxicological and nutritional effects on neonates. Consequently, the purpose of the present review is to provide a comprehensive summary of currently available data pertaining to the antibacterial effects of natural antimicrobial compounds against Cronobacter spp. with a view to provide information needed to inform the selection of compounds suitable for control of the pathogen during the manufacture or preparation of PIFs by end users.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella can endure dry environments of milk powders for extended periods due to the increased adaptability at a low water activity (aw) and proliferate when powders are hydrated. This study compared the survivability and the thermal resistance of a 5-serovar Salmonella cocktail in dry and hydrated nonfat dry milk (NFDM) and whole milk powder (WMP) stored for 180 days at ambient temperature (~20 °C). This study was designed as two factorial (storage days and milk powder type) randomized complete block design with three replications as blocks. The milk powders were spray inoculated with 5-serovar Salmonella cocktail and dried back to the original pre-inoculation aw. The D-values of Salmonella in inoculated NFDM and WMP were determined periodically (every 30 days, starting from day one). The milk powders were also individually hydrated on each analysis day to determine D- and z-values of Salmonella in hydrated powders. The D-values were determined using thermal-death-time disks and hot-water baths at 80, 85 and 90 °C for milk powders, and 59, 62 and 65 °C for hydrated powders. The D- and z-values of Salmonella at specific temperatures within dry or hydrated powders during the storage period were compared at P ≤ 0.05 using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's Test. The D-values of Salmonella in WMP on day 1 were 18.9, 9.9 and 4.4 min at 80, 85 and 90 °C, respectively, which increased to 29.4, 13.6 and 6.5 min at 80, 85 and 90 °C, respectively, on day 180. Whereas, D-values of Salmonella in NFDM on day 1 were 17.9, 9.2 and 4.4 min at 80, 85 and 90 °C, respectively, and stayed similar during the storage. The D-values of Salmonella in milk powder remained similar throughout the storage once hydrated. The overall z-value of Salmonella in NFDM and WMP was 16.3 °C, whereas in hydrated NFDM and WMP, the overall z-value was 6.4 °C.

Abstract
Recent outbreaks and recalls of low-moisture foods contaminated with Salmonella have been recognized as a major public health risk that demands the development of new Salmonella mitigation strategies and technologies. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of X-ray irradiation for inactivating Salmonella on or in almonds (kernels, meal, butter), dates (whole fruit, paste), and wheat (kernels, flour) at various water activities (aw) and storage periods. The raw materials were inoculated with Salmonella Enteritidis PT30, conditioned to 0.25, 0.45, and 0.65 aw in a humidity-controlled chamber, processed to various fabricated products, and reconditioned to the desired aw before treatment. In a storage study, inoculated almond kernels were stored in sealed tin cans for 7, 15, 27, and 103 weeks, irradiated with X ray (0.5 to 11 kGy, targeting up to a ∼2.5-log reduction) at the end of each storage period, and plated for Salmonella survivors to determine the efficacy of irradiation in terms of D10-value (dose required to reduce 90% of the population). Salmonella was least resistant (D10-value = 0.378 kGy) on the surface of almond kernels at 0.25 aw and most resistant (D10-value = 2.34 kGy) on the surface of dates at 0.45 aw. The Salmonella D10-value was 61% lower in date paste than on whole date fruit. Storage of almonds generally had no effect on the irradiation resistance of Salmonella over 103 weeks. Overall, these results indicate that product structure (whole, meals, powder, or paste), water activity (0.25 to 0.65 aw), and storage period (0 to 103 weeks) should be considered when determining the efficacy of X-ray irradiation for inactivating Salmonella in various low-water-activity foods.

Abstract
Tahini halva is a traditional sweet product that is consumed with bread in different countries. It is a low water activity (aw) product basically made by mixing and cooking tahini, sugar, citric acid and Saponaria officinalis root extract together. Tahini halva maybe contaminated with foodborne pathogens during any stage of production from tahini and other raw ingredients, workers, environment or contact surfaces. The objectives of the study were to i) investigate the efficacy of gamma radiation to inactivate Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes in tahini halva, ii) evaluate the effect of pre-irradiation storage (0, 7 and 30 days at 21 °C) of tahini halva on the sensitivity of these microorganisms toward gamma radiation, and iii) evaluate the effect of post-irradiation storage of tahini halva for up to 6 months on the their survival characteristics. Tahini halva samples were inoculated with Salmonella spp., E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes separately then stored at 21 °C for 0, 7 and 30 days prior to irradiation at 0-4 KGy and for up to 6 months after irradiation at 4 KGy. Salmonella spp. were the most irradiation resistance among the tested microorganisms. Irradiation (0.8-4.0 KGy) reduced the bacteria in samples stored for 0, 7 and 30 days pre-irradiation in the range of 0.43-2.11, 0.45-2.68 and 0.52-2.7 log10 CFU/g for Salmonella spp., 0.55-3.08, 0.66-3.00 and 0.60-2.80 log10 CFU/g for E. coli O157:H7, and 0.69-2.96, 0.86-4.30, 0.62-3.29 log10 CFU/g for L. monocytogenes, respectively. The D10-value, the irradiation dose needed to inactivate 1 log10 of pathogen, was 1.83, 1.47 and 1.50 KGy for Salmonella spp., 1.28, 1.32 and 1.48 KGy for E. coli O157:H7, and 1.33, 0.94 and 1.27 KGy for L. monocytogenes in pre-irradiation stored samples for 0, 7 and 30 days, respectively. Post-irradiation storage was efficient in decreasing the levels of the microorganisms ca. ≥2 log10 CFU/g in the first month and to undetected level after the second month of storage but enrichment results showed that Salmonella spp. and L. monocytogenes were detected in the samples until of the end of storage period. The study demonstrates that gamma radiation can be applied to inactivate of foodborne pathogens in tahini halva. Irradiation dose at 4 KGy can reduce Salmonella spp., E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes in tahini halva by 2-3 log10 CFU/g. Storage of tahini halva before or after irradiation may reduce the risk of foodborne pathogens in the product.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of citral plus mild heat on nondesiccated and desiccated Cronobacter sakazakii in reconstituted infant formula. Various concentrations of citral (0, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9%) combined with various temperatures (25, 45, 50, and 55°C) were applied to nondesiccated and desiccated cocktails of three C. sakazakii strains (approximately 6.0 log CFU mL-1) in reconstituted infant formula, and the bacterial populations were assayed periodically. The combined treatments had marked antimicrobial effects on C. sakazakii compared with the control. Desiccated cells were more susceptible to citral than were nondesiccated cells in reconstituted infant formula. These findings suggest there is a potential application of citral in combination with mild heat to control C. sakazakii during preparation of reconstituted infant formula.

Abstract
Foods and food ingredients with low water activity (a(w)) have been implicated with increased frequency in recent years as vehicles for pathogens that have caused outbreaks of illnesses. Some of these foodborne pathogens can survive for several months, even years, in low-a(w) foods and in dry food processing and preparation environments. Foodborne pathogens in low-a(w) foods often exhibit an increased tolerance to heat and other treatments that are lethal to cells in high-a(w) environments. It is virtually impossible to eliminate these pathogens in many dry foods or dry food ingredients without impairing organoleptic quality. Control measures should therefore focus on preventing contamination, which is often a much greater challenge than designing efficient control measures for high-a(w) foods. The most efficient approaches to prevent contamination are based on hygienic design, zoning, and implementation of efficient cleaning and sanitation procedures in the food processing environment. Methodologies to improve the sensitivity and speed of assays to resuscitate desiccated cells of foodborne pathogens and to detect them when present in dry foods in very low numbers should be developed. The goal should be to advance our knowledge of the behavior of foodborne pathogens in low-a(w) foods and food ingredients, with the ultimate aim of developing and implementing interventions that will reduce foodborne illness associated with this food category. Presented here are some observations on survival and persistence of foodborne pathogens in low-a(w) foods, selected outbreaks of illnesses associated with consumption of these foods, and approaches to minimize safety risks.

Abstract
Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) are emerging opportunistic pathogens for all age groups, and are of particular concern when it comes to infants. Prior to contaminating food, the organism may be exposed to a variety of stresses, leading to a generation of sublethally injured cells that may not be detected by selective media unless a protracted recovery period is included in the isolation procedure. This study evaluated the efficacy of the thin agar layer (TAL) method for the recovery of Cronobacter cells that had been exposed to various stress conditions. Five strains of C. sakazakii and C. muytjensii were exposed to starvation, heat, cold, acid, alkaline, chlorine, or ethanol, with or without further exposure to desiccation stress. The recovery of the stressed cells was determined on tryptone soy agar (TSA; nonselective control medium), violet red bile glucose agar (VRBGA; selective agar), Druggan-Forsythe-Iversen (DFI; selective agar), and TAL media (viz., VRBGA overlaid with TSA, and DFI overlaid with TSA). Regardless of stress type, there were no significant differences among the recoveries of stressed desiccated Cronobacter spp. cultures on TSA, DFI+TSA, and VRBGA+TSA, but there was significantly less recovery on VRBGA. The recovery of prestressed desiccated Cronobacter spp. on DFI+TSA was similar to that on TSA, whereas the recovery on VRBGA+TSA was lower. DFI+TSA performed better than VRBGA+TSA did in differentiating Cronobacter spp. within mixed bacterial cultures. The results of this study suggest the use of the TAL method DFI+TSA as an improved method for the direct recovery of stressed Cronobacter spp.

Abstract
Although outbreaks caused by Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) are rare, infections by this organism have a case-fatality rate which may reach 80%. Powdered infant milk formula (PIMF) is considered a major source for human infection with Cronobacter spp. The organism has the capability to survive in dry environments for long periods (approximately 2 years). Current interest in the use of natural antimicrobials including lactoferrin (LF) and nisin has developed because of the desire for preservative-free food products. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of bovine LF or nisin against undesiccated and desiccated Cronobacter spp. cells in 0.2% peptone water (PW) and reconstituted PIMF at different temperatures. In 0.2% PW, 2.5 mg/ml LF was able to inactivate 4 log(10) CFU/ml of undesiccated cells of Cronobacter spp. in 4 h at 37 degrees C but at lower temperatures, higher concentrations of LF as well as longer exposure were needed to achieve the same effect as at 37 degrees C. Similarly, the effect of nisin against undesiccated cells of Cronobacter spp. was concentration and temperature dependent in 0.2% PW. It was found that 1500 IU/ml caused a 4 log(10) CFU/ml reduction of undesiccated cells of Cronobacter spp. at 21 degrees C and 37 degrees C. Desiccated Cronobacter spp. cells in 0.2% PW were more sensitive to LF action than were undesiccated cells. A 4 log(10) CFU/ml reduction was obtained with 2.5 mg/ml LF after 1 h at 21 and 37 degrees C or 8 h at 10 degrees C. In contrast, desiccated cells of Cronobacter spp. were more resistant to nisin. Furthermore, neither LF nor nisin had detectable antimicrobial activity against desiccated or undesiccated Cronobacter spp. in reconstituted PIFM. Heating at 55 degrees C for 5 min with nisin in reconstituted PIFM did not enhance the antimicrobial activity of nisin. Unexpectedly, nisin appeared to protect Cronobacter spp. from the damaging effects of heat treatment. The reduced antimicrobial activity of LF and nisin in reconstituted PIMF was potentially explained by the higher concentration of Ca(2+), Mg(2+) and Fe(3+) in the latter.

Abstract
Cronobacter is a newly described genus which includes opportunistic pathogens formerly known as 'Enterobacter sakazakii'. These organisms have been isolated from a wide variety of sources, including powdered infant formula (PIF). This review focuses on the desiccation survival of Cronobacter, and its relevance to vehicles of infection. Due to its probable natural habitat of plant material, the organism has an array of survival mechanisms which includes resistance to desiccation and osmotic stresses. The organism can survive for long periods of time (>2years) in the desiccated state, and can be recovered from a large number of powdered foods in addition to powdered infant formula. On reconstitution, the organism may rapidly multiply and present a risk to immunocompromised infants. It is expected that an improved understanding of the nature of Cronobacter persistence may aid in further improved control measures and eliminate the bacterium from the critical food production environments.

Abstract
Enterobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic foodborne pathogen that has been isolated from powdered infant milk formula. This study determined the effect of desiccation, starvation, heat and cold stresses on the thermal inactivation of E. sakazakii in rehydrated infant milk formula (RIMF). Stressed cells were mixed with RIMF at 52, 54, 56, and 58 degrees C for various time periods. The D- and z-values were determined by using linear regression analysis. D-values for unstressed E. sakazakii at 52, 54, 56, and 58 degrees C were 15.33, 4.53, 2, and 0.53 min, respectively. Desiccation and heat stresses, but not starvation or cold stress, caused significant (P < 0.05) reduction in D-values. The z-values of desiccated, starved, heat stressed, and cold stressed E. sakazakii were not significantly different from unstressed cells (4.22 degrees C). Thermal resistance of E. sakazakii in RIMF is affected by the environmental stresses; that is, desiccation and heat stresses that may surround the bacterium prior to the contamination of infant formula. The results of this study may be of use to regulatory agencies, infant milk producers, and infant caregivers to design heating processes to eliminate E. sakazakii that may be present in infant milk formula.
