Scapania nemorea liverwort extracts: Investigation on volatile compounds, in vitro antimicrobial activity and control of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in fruit juice

This study was focused on chemical characterisation of liverwort Scapania nemorea extracts and their antimicrobial activity against pathogenic and food-spoiling yeasts and bacteria. The chemical composition of three different extracts of the liverwort S. nemorea was determined by solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME GC–MS). The dominant compounds in extracts were sesquiterpenes β-bazzanene (11%, 17.9% and 14.6%), isobazzanene (10.2%, 15.8% and 11.7%) and aromadendrene (8.8%, 12.9% and 10.6%) in the methanol, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively. Antimicrobial potential of S. nemorea extracts against food spoiling yeasts and bacteria was determined in vitro by microdilution method. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) varied from 0.5 to 3 mg/mL for bacteria, and from 0.2 to 1 mg/mL for yeasts. Moreover, the combined effects of dry methanol extract of S. nemorea and heat processing on the survival and growth of a spoilage yeast in an apple/orange-based beverage, have been assessed through a Central Composite Design. Changes in color and flavor of the beverages were considered acceptable also after one week of storage at 25 °C. The results provide evidence of antimicrobial potential of S. nemorea extracts and suggest its potential as natural antimicrobial agent for food preservation.     

金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素在食源性微生物中的研究进展

由细菌污染引起的食源性疾病依然是影响人类公共健康和食品安全的最大问题之一。其中,金黄色葡萄球菌是人类的一种重要病原菌,引起许多严重感染。金黄色葡萄球菌属于革兰氏阳性球菌,广泛分布于自然界,是引起化脓性疾病的重要病原菌,也是引起食品污染和细菌性食物中毒的一种重要细菌。食品受金黄色葡萄球菌污染后,不仅会腐败变质,而且部分菌株产生金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素（Staphylococcal enterotoxins,SEs）而引起食物中毒,由金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素引起的食物中毒占整个细菌性食物中毒的首位。所以,对SEs的研究以及快速、精确的检测和筛查,成为关键环节。本文拟对金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素生物学性状、致病．洼、检验方法等方面的研究进展进行综述。当然,对金黄色葡萄球菌及其主要致病因子肠毒素的研究有待进一步深入与发展。     

Evaluation of parameters affecting modified atmosphere packaging engineering design for pomegranate arils

This study evaluated the effects of passive modified atmosphere packaging design parameters as a function of the amount of product (g), temperature (°C) and time (days) on two pomegranate cultivars. Arils (75, 100 and 125 g) were packed in trays, heat sealed with polylid film and stored at 5, 10 and 15 °C for 14 days, and analysed for physicochemical parameters viz headspace gas composition, weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH, anthocyanin, aerobic‐mesophilic bacterial and fungal load (log CFU g^?1). At the highest temperature and weight, O₂ concentration continuously decreased below the critical limit (2%) after 4 days, while at 5 °C, this lower limit was not reached. Shelf life of arils was limited to 10, 7 and 3 days by fungal growth ≥2 log CFU g^?1 at 5, 10 and 15 °C, respectively. Using unsteady‐state equation, a good agreement was found between simulated and experimental gas composition data.     

食品中3种致病菌多重PCR检测方法的建立及初步应用

建立用多重聚合酶链式反应(Multiplex polymerase chain reaction,mPCR)同时检测食品中沙门氏菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和单核细胞增生性李斯特菌的方法。以沙门氏菌的gyrB基因、单核细胞增生性李斯特菌的gyrB基因、金黄色葡萄球菌的coa基因作为目的基因,分别设计3对引物,通过优化反应体系,建立3种致病菌的多重PCR检测体系。采用单重PCR检测时,灵敏度可达0.423ng/mL(沙门氏菌)、2.5ng/mL(金黄色葡萄球菌)和0.36ng/mL(单核细胞增生性李斯特菌);而采用三重PCR检测时,灵敏度较单重PCR有所下降,分别为2.43ng/mL(沙门氏菌)、2.5ng/mL(金黄色葡萄球菌)、3.6ng/mL(单核细胞增生性李斯特菌)。初步建立能同时、快速、灵敏地检测食品中沙门氏菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和单核细胞增生性李斯特菌的三重PCR方法。

Isolation of antimicrobial agent from the marine algae Cystoseira hakodatensis

Cystoseira hakodatensis is an unutilised brown algae belonging to family Sargassaceae. A crude methanol extract from the algae showed inhibitory effects on the growths of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus licheniformis. To isolate the major antimicrobial agent, a sequential active‐guided isolation procedure was applied: liquid–liquid extraction, column chromatography and bio‐autography. A marked antimicrobial agent (active α) was isolated in hydrophobic fraction and was determined to phenolics without carbohydrates and proteins by phytochemical test. Regarding the antimicrobial potential, the isolated active α showed better inhibitory effects against B. cereus and B. licheniformis at 2 and 4 times of lower concentrations (62.5 and 31.3 μg mL^?1) in comparison with epigallocatechin gallate. These results showed that C. hakodatensis is a potential source of antimicrobial agent capable of preventing the growth of the two bacteria.
