A predictive model for Salmonella spp. growth in ground pork was developed and validated using kinetic growth data. Salmonella spp. kinetic growth data in ground pork were collected at several isothermal conditions (between 10 and 45 °C) and Baranyi model was fitted to describe the growth at each temperature, separately. The maximum growth rates (μmax) estimated from the Baranyi model were modeled as a function of temperature using a modified Ratkowsky equation. To estimate bacterial growth under dynamic temperature conditions, the differential form of the Baranyi model, in combination with the modified Ratkowsky equation for rate constants, was solved numerically using fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The dynamic model was validated using five different dynamic temperature profiles (linear cooling, exponential cooling, linear heating, exponential heating, and sinusoidal). Performance measures, root mean squared error, accuracy factor, and bias factor were used to evaluate the model performance, and were observed to be satisfactory. The dynamic model can estimate the growth of Salmonella spp. in pork within a 0.5 log accuracy under both linear and exponential cooling profiles, although the model may overestimate or underestimate at some data points, which were generally < 1 log. Under sinusoidal temperature profiles, the estimates from the dynamic model were also within 0.5 log of the observed values. However, underestimation could occur if the bacteria were exposed to temperatures below the minimum growth temperature of Salmonella spp., since low temperature conditions could alter the cell physiology. To obtain an accurate estimate of Salmonella spp. growth using the models reported in this work, it is suggested that the models be used at temperatures above 7 °C, the minimum growth temperature for Salmonella spp. in pork.  相似文献

Comparison of Clostridium perfringens spore germination and outgrowth in cooked uncured products during cooling for different meat species is presented. Cooked, uncured product was inoculated with C. perfringens spores and vacuum packaged. For the isothermal experiments, all samples were incubated in a water bath stabilized at selected temperatures between 10 and 51 °C and sampled periodically. For dynamic experiments, the samples were cooled from 54.4 to 27 °C and subsequently from 27 to 4 °C for different time periods, designated as x and y hours, respectively. The growth models used were based on a model developed by Baranyi and Roberts (1994. A dynamic approach to predicting bacterial growth in food. Int. J. Food Micro. 23, 277-294), which incorporates a constant, referred to as the physiological state constant, q0. The value of this constant captures the cells’ history before the cooling begins. To estimate specific growth rates, data from isothermal experiments were used, from which a secondary model was developed, based on a form of Ratkowsky’s 4-parameter equation. The estimated growth kinetics associated with pork and chicken were similar, but growth appeared to be slightly greater in beef; for beef, the maximum specific growth rates estimated from the Ratkowsky curve was about 2.7 log10 cfu/h, while for the other two species, chicken and pork, the estimate was about 2.2 log10 cfu/h. Physiological state constants were estimated by minimizing the mean square error of predictions of the log10 of the relative increase versus the corresponding observed quantities for the dynamic experiments: for beef the estimate was 0.007, while those for pork and chicken the estimates were about 0.014 and 0.011, respectively. For a hypothetical 1.5 h cooling from 54 °C to 27° and 5 h to 4 °C, corresponding to USDA-FSIS cooling compliance guidelines, the predicted growth (log10 of the relative increase) for each species was: 1.29 for beef; 1.07 for chicken and 0.95 log10 for pork. However, it was noticed that for pork in particular, the model using the derived q0 had a tendency to over-predict relative growth when the observed amount of relative growth was small, and under-predict the relative growth when the observed amount of relative growth was large. To provide more fail-safe estimate, rather than using the derived value of q0, a value of 0.04 is recommended for pork.  相似文献

Cooling deviations and temperature abuse are two main reasons leading to the risk of Clostridium botulinum outgrowth in cooked pork. The aim of this research was to create a model that could be used to estimate C. botulinum growth from spores in cooked pork at temperatures similar to those used to chill cooked pork in processing facilities and food establishments. A cocktail of proteolytic C. botulinum types A and B consisting of five strains per type were used to inoculate pork to a final spore concentration of approximately 2 log CFU/g and cooked to 71 °C to heat shock the spores and kill vegetative microbes. The growth of C. botulinum was established at constant storage temperatures from 10 to 46 °C. C. botulinum growth was also studied under dynamic temperature conditions with cooling set to start at 54.4 °C and end at 4.4 °C or 7.2 °C in monophasic or biphasic cooling profiles, respectively. Growth parameters were estimated using the Baranyi model as a primary model and growth rates were fitted using the modified Ratkowsky secondary model with respect to temperature. The R2 values ranged from 0.7653 to 0.9995 indicating that the Baranyi primary model was well suited to the growth data. The modified Ratkowsky secondary model's R2 was 0.9653 and its root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.0687. All 11 prediction error values computed were within the limit of acceptable prediction zone (−1.0 to 0.5) suggesting a good fit of the model. The predictive model can provide information for the safety of cooked pork exposed to longer chilling times or for customized process schedule development as cooling of larger diameter products presents a processing challenge in the meat process operations.  相似文献

The effect of fermentation with Pediococcus pentosaceus at different temperatures ranging from 15 to 37 °C on the quality characteristics of silver carp sausages was investigated. Higher temperature stimulated the rapid growth of lactic acid bacteria, resulting in a rapid decline in pH, and consequently suppressed the growth of Pseudomonas, Micrococcaceae and Enterobacteriaceae. However, increasing fermentation temperature gave a progressive increase in total volatile basic nitrogen and biogenic amines in fermented silver carp sausages. Histamine was the main biogenic amine, exceeding 100 mg/kg after 48 h of fermentation at temperatures above 30 °C. Higher content of non-protein nitrogen and α-amino nitrogen correlated with the electrophoretic studies, which showed that proteolysis of high molecular weight myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins was more prominent at higher fermentation temperatures. Products fermented at 23–30 °C showed greatest consumer preference and most favourable textural properties.  相似文献

Two species of acarid mites, Acarus farris and Tyrophagus neiswanderi, have been identified infesting Cabrales cheese in an Asturian maturing cave, the former being the prevalent species. The developmental rate and survival of immature stages of these mites were examined at constant temperatures, ranging from 7 to 29.7 °C for A. farris, and 10 to 31 °C for T. neiswanderi, and a relative humidity (r.h.) of 90±5%. The larval stage of A. farris was particularly susceptible to low and high temperatures with 81.7% and 95.2% mortality at 7 and 29.7 °C, respectively. Tyrophagus neiswanderi larvae also showed the greatest mortality at extreme temperatures among immature stages, though at a lower level than for A. farris (8.6% and 25.6% at 10 and 31 °C, respectively). The optimal temperature for development appeared to be 27-28 °C for both species and the developmental rates were higher for A. farris than T. neiswanderi within the range of the cooler temperatures prevalent in the cheese-maturing caves. The nonlinear Logan type-III model provided the best fit for the relationship between developmental rates and temperature (Ra2>0.99) for all immature stages of A. farris, whereas the development of T. neiswanderi was better described by the Lactin model (Ra2>0.97). The lower and upper developmental threshold temperatures predicted for each stage of A. farris were 3-4 °C lower than those predicted for T. neiswanderi. The differential temperature-development rate for each species might explain the greater abundance of A. farris compared to T. neiswanderi. Furthermore, manipulation of temperature based on modeling predictions may well be used to control mite populations during the cheese maturing process.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to establish the time–temperature combinations required to ensure the thermal inactivation of Yersinia enterocolitica during scalding of pork carcasses. A 2 strain cocktail of Y. enterocolitica (bioserotypes 2/O:5,27 and 1A/O:6,30) was heat treated at 50, 55 and 60 °C in samples of scald tank water obtained from a commercial pork slaughter plant. Samples were removed at regular intervals and surviving cells enumerated using (i) Cefsulodin–Irgasan–Novobiocin Agar (CIN) supplemented with ampicillin and arabinose and (ii) Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA), overlaid with CIN agar with ampicillin and arabinose. The data generated was used to estimate D- and z-values and the formula Dx = log− 1(log D60  ((t2 − t1)/z)) was applied to calculate thermal death time–temperature combinations from 55 to 65 °C. D50, D55 and D60-values of 45.9, 10.6 and 2.7 min were calculated from the cell counts obtained on CIN agar, respectively. The corresponding D-values calculated from the TSA/CIN counts were 45.1, 11 and 2.5 min, respectively. The z-value was 7.8. It was concluded that a time–temperature combination of 2.7 min at 60 °C is required to achieve a 1 log reduction in Y. enterocolitica in pork scald tank water. The predicted equivalent at 65 °C was 0.6 min. This study provides data and a model to enable pork processors to identify and apply parameters to limit the risk of carcass cross-contamination with Y. enterocolitica in pork carcass scald tanks.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to use molecular techniques to assess the microbiota of eight raw cow's milk samples at biotype and species level. Sixty-six isolates from raw milk samples were screened by Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA–PCR (RAPD–PCR) biotyping and representative strains of RAPD–PCR profiles were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Pseudomonas spp. were the most commonly occurring contaminants along with Enterobacteriaceae such as Hafnia alvei, Serratia marcescens and Citrobacter freundii. Moreover, Gram-positive isolates belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Lactococcus were also found. Experiments of growth at different temperatures showed that more than 50% of the Gram-negative isolates could grow at chill temperatures and that 65% of the Pseudomonas spp. strains grew at 7 °C within 5 days. Only 13 Gram-negative isolates displayed proteolytic activity on milk agar, suggesting that not all the biotypes of milk contaminating species are able to perform this spoilage-associated activity. Among the Gram negative, the proteolytic strains were mainly Peudomonas spp. that displayed the activity at both 7 °C and 20 °C. A reliable molecular identification of raw milk microbiota is important for the study of the microbiological quality of raw milks and for the assessment of the ecology at species level in order to develop improved systems, preventing contamination and having the best conditions for the storage of milk.  相似文献

This work aimed to study the factors influencing the growth of Carnobacterium divergens strain M35 and its ability to produce a new class IIa bacteriocin (divergicin M35) in various synthetic media and in medium supplemented with snow crab hepatopancreas (SCH), a natural-grade by-product of crustacean processing. C. divergens M35 growth and bacteriocin production in SCH-supplemented medium was evaluated at different temperatures in batch fermentations and under controlled pH. C. divergens M35 was shown to grow well in SCH medium at tested temperatures between 4 and 30 °C, except at 37 °C. Maximum divergicin M35 production was obtained after 10 h of growth in SCH medium at 25 and 30 °C with a total activity of 3.7 × 104 AU mL−1. Less growth was observed at 37 °C, for which a total bacteriocin activity of only 256 AU mL−1 was obtained. The production of divergicin M35 was greatly influenced by the medium composition, especially by the type of added carbon source. The best production of divergicin M35 in SCH medium was observed at a controlled pH of 7.0. This study describes the optimal parameters for the growth of C. divergens M35 and production of divergicin M35 and demonstrates the effectiveness of the marine by-product as a medium supplement for this culture.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to model and predict growth of Salmonella and the dominating natural microbiota, and their interaction in ground pork. Growth of Salmonella in sterile ground pork at constant temperatures between 4 °C and 38 °C was quantified and used for developing predictive models for lag time, max. specific growth rate and max. population density. Data from literature were used to develop growth models for the natural pork microbiota. Challenge tests at temperatures from 9.4 to 24.1 °C and with Salmonella inoculated in ground pork were used for evaluation of interaction models. The existing Jameson-effect and Lotka–Volterra species interaction models and a new expanded Jameson-effect model were evaluated. F-test indicated lack-of-fit for the classical Jameson-effect model at all of the tested temperatures and at 14.1–20.2 °C this was caused by continued growth of Salmonella after the natural microbiota had reached their max. population density. The new expanded Jameson-effect model and the Lotka–Volterra model performed better and appropriately described the continued but reduced growth of Salmonella after the natural microbiota had reached their max. population density. The expanded Jameson-effect model is a new and simple species interaction model, which performed as well as the more complex Lotka–Volterra model.  相似文献

Alicyclobacillus species are thermo-acidophilic, endospore-forming bacteria that are able to survive pasteurisation and have been implicated in a number of spoilage incidents involving acidic foods and beverages. The aim of this study was to compare three isolation methods used for the detection of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris and to investigate the influence of incubation temperature on the growth of A. acidoterrestris and A. acidocaldarius. Peach juice samples inoculated with A. acidoterrestris K47 were analysed using either the International Federation of Fruit Juice Producers (IFU) Method No. 12 (Method A), which involved spread plating onto Bacillus acidoterrestris (BAT) agar at pH 4.0; Method B, which involved pour plating using potato dextrose agar (PDA) at pH 3.7; or Method C, which made use of membrane filtration followed by incubation on K agar at pH 3.7. The performance of the three methods differed significantly, with the IFU Method No. 12 recovering the highest percentage of cells at 75.97%, followed by Method B at 66.79% and Method C at 3.43%. These findings strengthen the proposal of the IFU for the use of the IFU Method No. 12 as a standard international method for the detection of Alicyclobacillus. To investigate the effect on growth of different incubation temperatures A. acidoterrestris (three strains) and A. acidocaldarius (two strains) were incubated at either 45 °C or 25 °C. Growth at 25 °C was slower and maximum cell concentrations were lower (1 × 105-106 cfu/mL compared to 1 × 107-108 cfu/mL) than at 45 °C for A. acidoterrestris. A. acidocaldarius was unable to grow at 25 °C and cell concentrations decreased by 1-2 logs. Since a growth temperature of 25 °C could not inhibit growth of A. acidoterrestris, cooling to room temperature (20°-25 °C) is not an effective control measure for A. acidoterrestris inhibition.  相似文献
