乳品中活性益生菌选择性检测方法的研究

研究了含活性益生菌乳品中嗜热乳链球菌、保加利亚乳杆菌、嗜酸乳杆菌、双歧杆菌和干酪乳杆菌的选择性计数方法。结果表明：ST—琼脂培养基适合嗜热乳链球菌的计数；LC—琼脂培养基适合干酪乳杆菌的计数；MRS—NNLP琼脂培养基适合双歧杆菌的计数；MRS—pH5．2琼脂培养基适合保加利亚乳杆菌的计数；MRS—柳醇琼脂或MRS—山梨醇琼脂可用于嗜酸乳杆菌和干酪乳杆菌的计数；若产品中只含有嗜酸乳杆菌和干酪乳杆菌时，可先测其总数，再用LC—琼脂培养基选择计数干酪乳杆菌数，两者之差即为嗜酸乳杆菌数。

Assessment of oxygen levels in convenience‐style muscle‐based sous vide products through optical means and impact on shelf‐life stability

An optical oxygen analyser was used in two small‐scale industrial trials to non‐destructively assess the quality of packaged convenience foods and packaging process. Beef lasagne packed under 70% vacuum and cooked under standard sous vide conditions was monitored for residual oxygen, using disposable sensors incorporated in each pack and a benchtop optical oxygen analyser. High levels of residual oxygen close to ambient were determined in the majority of packs after packaging, as opposed to anticipated levels of 4–5%. Residual oxygen was monitored over product shelf‐life (4 weeks at +4–10°C) along with measurement of microbial growth and lipid oxidation in food by conventional destructive methods. Oxygen levels in packs went down to almost zero between weeks 2 and 3 indicating deterioration of packaged product. Correlation between oxygen profiles and the rate of microbial growth and lipid oxidation was established. The optical oxygen sensor system was shown to provide valuable information about performance of the packaging process, product storage conditions and food quality in a convenient and cost‐efficient fashion and non‐destructively.

超高效液相色谱-二极管阵列检测法测定油基类保健食品中的维生素K2的含量

建立了超高效液相色谱-二极管阵列检测法(UPLC-PDA)测定油基类保健食品中维生素K 2(七烯甲萘醌)含量的方法。试验显示维生素K 2对紫外光、强碱条件敏感。样品经脂肪酶酶解后,皂化、萃取、复溶,C 18色谱柱(100×2.1 mm,1.7μm)分离,甲醇为流动相,流速为0.3 mL/min,254 nm检测。本法在1.0~20.0 mg/L线性关系良好,R 2=0.9999。当取样量为1 g,定容至10 mL时,方法LOD为1μg/g,LOQ为3μg/g,RSD为1.2%,加标回收率为98.7%~102.2%。该法准确、高效,对各类保健食品具有良好的普适性。     

Metals in organic and conventional wheat flours determined by an optimised and validated ICP‐MS method

This study was undertaken (i) to optimise and validate a suitable method for multi‐element determination in cereal products and (ii) to evaluate multi‐element content differences in commercially available conventional vs. organic wheat flours. Presented ICP‐MS method is simple and accurate for the determination of eighteen elements in cereal food. Obtained results show differences in metal content between conventional and organic wheat flours and confirm that both types of production are well within the toxicological safety limits regarding the metal contents. The significant differences among conventional vs. organic wheat flours were obtained for As, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mg, Mo, Ni and V. Toxic metals (Al, As, Cd and Pb) input was higher in conventional compared with organic wheat flours. However, further and long‐term research is needed to clearly underline the effects of organic agricultural practice on the quality of food products.     

Organic whey as a source of Lactobacillus strains with selected technological and antimicrobial properties

Twenty‐five strains, isolated from raw, non‐pasteurised, organic whey samples, were identified phenotypically and genotypically. Biochemical tests were performed, and enzyme profiles, antibiotic resistance and antimicrobial properties were investigated. Sixteen strains were identified as genus Lactobacillus. Based on 16S rDNA gene sequence, the strains were identified as Lb. plantarum and Lb. fermentum. All of the strains had β‐galactosidase activity, and some of them reduced nitrate content. All strains utilised carbohydrates. The tested strains were characterised by low or average lipolytic and esterolytic activity. Moreover, the strains showed low proteolytic activity which is advantageous for their use as starter cultures for foods with low protein content. Strains Lb. fermentum S20, SM1, SM3, S2R and Lb. plantarum SM5 produced harmful N‐acetyl‐β‐glucosaminidase; moreover, the strain S20 produced also β‐glucuronidase. None of the strains produced α‐chymotrypsin. In phenotypic studies, most of the test strains were susceptible to gentamicin, ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, penicillin and erythromycin. Strains Lb. plantarum S1 and Lb. fermentum S4, S7, S8, S10, SM1 and SM3 did not possess any transfer resistance genes. Antagonistic activity of the culture LAB strains was assessed as high or moderate in relation to the indicator strains, with the greatest zones of inhibition for E.coli and the smallest for L. monocytogenes ATCC 15313. This study reveals that the LAB strains isolated from organic whey have high potential for food application. Some strains of species Lb. fermentum (S4, S7, S8, S10) have been identified as the best candidates.
