ABSTRACT: The heat-resistance data in meat and poultry for various strains of Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes , and Escherichia coli O157:H7 as well as Listeria innocua M1 are summarized. Heat resistance of these organisms is affected by many factors. Different strains of the same organism have different responses to heat. Heat resistance can also be influenced by the age of the culture, growth conditions, pH, and numerous other factors. Data from this review may prove useful to processors in validating their times and temperatures for thermal processing of meat and poultry. The obvious gaps in the data will provide researchers opportunities to fill those gaps. In addition, it will encourage the development of surrogates, whether biological or otherwise, that will be able to be used in an actual processing environment. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The effects of low-dose irradiation (0.25 to 2 kGy) and postirradiation storage (at 4 °C) on microbial and visual quality, color values (L*, a*, b*, chroma, and hue [°]), and chlorophyll content (Chl a, Chl b, and total Chl) of fresh mint were evaluated. Samples inoculated with E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and MS2 bacteriophage were irradiated and evaluated. E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella populations were reduced by 2 to 2.4, 3.5, and 5.8 log CFU/g, respectively, 1 d after treatment with 0.25, 0.60, and 1 kGy, respectively, and were completely eliminated at 2 kGy. None of the irradiation doses (P < 0.0001) reduced MS2 bacteriophage populations by more than 0.60 log PFU/g. Irradiation doses did not affect visual quality and samples remained of excellent to good quality (score 7.75 to 9) for up to 9 d of storage. Irradiation at 0.60, 1, and 2 kGy increased (P < 0.0001) Chl a, Chl b, and total Chl. Both total Chl and Chl a decreased significantly after 3 d of storage. Significant decreases in Chl b were not observed until day 12 of storage. Color values (L*, b*, and chroma) were not significantly different until day 6 of storage and hue (°) remained unchanged (179°) for the entire storage period of 12 d. Overall, irradiation did not change L*, a*, b*, or chroma. These results demonstrate that irradiation of fresh mint at 2 kGy has the potential to improve its microbial quality and extend its shelf life without compromising its visual quality and color. Practical Application: Mints and other raw fresh herbs are widely used for flavoring as well as garnish in a variety of dishes without further cooking. However, mint is one considered as one of the high-risk herbs when it comes to microbial contamination. We have evaluated the use of gamma irradiation treatment at very low doses ranging from 0 to 2 kGy to eliminate seeded Salmonella spp, E. coli O157:H7, and MS2 bacteriophage, a surrogate of hepatitis A virus. We found that low-dose irradiation (1.0 to 2.0 kGy) appears to be a promising method for improving the microbiological quality of fresh mint without compromising its visual and color attributes. This method may be applied to many popular fresh culinary herbs that are commonly used as garnishes in Asian cuisine. 相似文献

Fresh cilantro, parsley, and spinach are products that are regularly consumed fresh, but are difficult to decontaminate, as a result, they are common vehicles of transmission of enteropathogenic bacteria. In this study, the efficacy of plant extracts as alternatives for disinfection of cilantro, parsley, and spinach that were artificially contaminated with Salmonella, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Shigella sonnei was determined. Edible plant extracts obtained using ethanol as the extraction solvent were tested to determine the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and those that exhibited the lowest MBC were selected for further studies. Leaves of fresh greens were washed with sterile water and dried. For seeding, leaves were submerged in suspensions of 2 different concentrations of bacteria (1.5 × 108 and 1 × 105), dried, and then stored at 4 °C until use. To determine the effects of the extracts, inoculated leafy greens were submerged in a container and subjected to treatments with chlorine, Citrol®, or selected plant extracts. Each treatment type was stored at 4 °C for 0, 1, 5, and 7 d, and the bacterial counts were determined. From the 41 plant extracts tested, the extracts from oregano leaves and from the peel and pulp of limes were found to be as effective as chlorine or Citrol® in reducing by > 2 logs, the population of pathogenic bacteria on leafy greens and therefore, may be a natural and edible alternative to chemicals to reduce the risk of Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7 and S. sonnei contamination on leafy vegetables. Practical Application: The antimicrobial efficacy of the extracts of Mexican lime and oregano was clearly demonstrated on cilantro, parsley, and spinach. The extracts of Mexican lime and oregano provide alternatives to chlorine to significantly reduce bacterial pathogens that have been associated with outbreaks from contaminated leafy green vegetables. A simple, low cost, and labor‐saving extraction system for production of the extracts was used. 相似文献

Romaine lettuce is susceptible to Escherichia coli O157:H7 contamination. We evaluated strain and pre- and postharvest lettuce product differences in E. coli O157:H7 subpopulation distribution on romaine lettuce at two relative humidity (RH) levels. Plants of romaine lettuce cultivar 'Carlsbad' harvested and processed 'Carlsbad' leaves, and store-bought ready-to-eat romaine lettuce were inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 reference strain EDL933 and romaine lettuce outbreak strain 2705C. Using four processing methods, we determined pathogen cell fractions representing All (entire population), Epiphytic (loosely attached cells), Strongly Attached + Internal (excluding loosely attached cells), and Internal (excluding epiphytic cells) subpopulations. Preharvest, 80% RH favored subpopulations in each cell fraction, compared to 40% RH (p < 0.01 for both strains) and yielded 92%–100% internalization incidence of E. coli O157:H7, compared to 50%–57% at 40% RH. Levels of internal EDL933 cells were also 1.1 log higher than 2705C cells from plants kept at 80% RH (p < 0.001). While EDL933 had lower measures of Strongly Attached + Internal cells compared to All and Epiphytic fractions (p < 0.01), 2705C yielded no difference. Taken together, data suggest that the lettuce outbreak strain had a higher propensity for strong attachment to leaves and EDL933 internalized more successfully. Moreover, the Strongly Attached + Internal fractions of both strains were lower on preharvest 'Carlsbad' compared to 'Carlsbad' processed leaves (p < 0.01), suggesting that E. coli O157:H7 attached less strongly to preharvest plants than postharvest cut and stored leaves of the same variety. Our study uncovers important factors influencing cultivar- and strain-specific differences in association and internalization of enteric pathogens on leafy greens. 相似文献

Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate the antimicrobial effect of organic acids against Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes on whole red organic apples and lettuce. Several studies have been conducted to evaluate organic acids as sanitizers. However, no studies have compared antimicrobial effects of various organic acids on organic fresh produce, including evaluation of color changes of produce. Apples and lettuce were inoculated with a cocktail of 3 strains each of 3 foodborne pathogens provided above and treated with 1% and 2% organic acids (propionic, acetic, lactic, malic, and citric acid) for 0, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 min. With increasing treatment time and acid concentration, organic acid treatments showed significant reduction compared to the control treatment (distilled water), and differences in antimicrobial effects between organic acids were observed. After 10 min of treatment with 1% and 2% organic acids in apples, propionic (0.92 to 2.75 log reduction), acetic (0.52 to 2.78 log reduction), lactic (1.69 to >3.42 log reduction), malic (1.48 to >3.42 log reduction), and citric acid (1.52 to >3.42 log reduction) exhibited significant (P < 0.05) antibacterial effects against 3 foodborne pathogens compared to the control treatment. In lettuce, propionic (0.93 to 1.52 log reduction), acetic (1.13 to 1.74 log reduction), lactic (1.87 to 2.54 log reduction), malic (2.32 to 2.98 log reduction), and citric acid (1.85 to 2.86 log reduction) showed significant (P < 0.05) effects compared to the control treatment. Changes in sample color subjected to organic acids treatment were not significant during storage. Practical Application: It is suggested that organic acids have a potential as sanitizers for organic fresh produce. These data may help the organic produce industry provide safe fresh produce for consumers. 相似文献

During fresh-cut produce processing, organic materials released from cut tissues can rapidly react with free chlorine in the wash solution, leading to the potential survival of foodborne bacterial pathogens, and cross-contamination when the free chlorine is depleted. A reported chlorine stabilizer, T-128, has been developed to address this problem. In this study, we evaluated the ability of T-128 to stabilize free chlorine in wash solutions in the presence of high organic loads generated by the addition of lettuce extract or soil. Under conditions used in this study, T-128 significantly (P<0.001) decreased the rate of free chlorine depletion at the presence of soil. T-128 also slightly decreased the rate of free chlorine depletion caused by the addition of lettuce extract in wash solution. Application of T-128 significantly reduced the survival of bacterial pathogens in wash solutions with high organic loads and significantly reduced the potential of cross-contamination, when contaminated and uncontaminated produce were washed together. However, T-128 did not enhance the efficacy of chlorinated wash solutions for microbial reduction on contaminated iceberg lettuce. Evaluation of several produce quality parameters, including overall visual appearance, package headspace O2 and CO2 composition, and lettuce electrolyte leakage, during 15 d of storage indicated that iceberg lettuce quality and shelf life were not negatively impacted by washing fresh-cut lettuce in chlorine solutions containing 0.1% T-128. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Reported chlorine stabilizer is shown to enhance chlorine efficacy against potential bacterial cross-contamination in the presence of high organic loads without compromising product quality and shelf life. 相似文献

Contamination of raw nuts, including almonds, is a food safety concern. Cold plasma is a novel antimicrobial intervention that can eliminate foodborne pathogens. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of rapid cold plasma treatments in eliminating Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 from dry almonds. Three isolates of Salmonella (S. Anatum F4317, S. Stanley H0558, and S. Enteritidis PT30) and 3 isolates of E. coli O157:H7 (C9490, ATCC 35150, and ATCC 43894) were separately grown and spot-inoculated (10 μL) onto whole almonds and allowed to dry for 10 min. Inoculated almonds were treated with a cold plasma jet, with treatment variables evaluated in a factorial design for each isolate: time, distance, and feed gas. Treatment time was 0 s (control), 10 s, or 20 s. Distance from the emitter was 2, 4, or 6 cm. Feed gas was dry air or nitrogen. After treatment, the almonds were sampled using swabs. Survivors were enumerated on tryptic soy agar (TSA) plates. Cold plasma significantly reduced both pathogens on almonds. The greatest reduction observed was 1.34 log cfu/mL reduction of E. coli O157:H7 C9490 after 20 s treatment at 6 cm spacing. The interaction of treatment time with distance from plasma emitter head was complex, and isolate-dependent. Longer duration of treatment did not always result in enhanced reductions. In general, nitrogen as a feed gas resulted in a reduced antimicrobial efficacy compared to dry air. These results indicate that short pulses of atmospheric pressure cold plasma can significantly reduce Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 on almonds. 相似文献

A metabolomic-based method for rapid detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Hartford, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Salmonella Muenchen in nonselective media was developed. All pathogenic bacteria were grown in tryptic soy broth (TSB) at 37 °C followed by metabolite quantification at 2-h intervals for 24 h. Results were compared with the metabolite profiles similarly obtained with E. coli K12, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Saccharomyces cereviseae, and Aspergillus oryzae grown individually or as a cocktail under the same conditions. Principal component analysis (PCAS) discriminated pathogenic microorganisms grown in TSB. Metabolites responsible of PCAS classification were dextrose, cadaverine, the aminoacids L-histidine, glycine, and L-tyrosine, as well as the volatiles 1-octanol, 1-propanol, 1butanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and 2,5-dimethyl-pyrazine. Partial least square (PLS) models based on the overall metabolite profile of each bacteria were able to detect the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. at levels of approximately 7 ± 2 CFU/25 g of ground beef and chicken within 18 h. 相似文献

Apples were inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 and treated with ozone. Sanitization treatments were more effective when ozone was bubbled during apple washing than by dipping apples in pre‐ozonated water. The corresponding decreases in counts of E. coli O157:H7 during 3‐min treatments were 3.7 and 2.6 log10 CFU on apple surface, respectively, compared to < 1 log10 CFU decrease in the stem‐calyx region in both delivery methods. Optimum conditions for decontamination of whole apples with ozone included a pretreatment with a wetting agent, followed by bubbling ozone for 3 min in the wash water, which decreased the count of E. coli O157:H7 by 3.3 log10CFU/g. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The country-cured ham process, including curing, equalization, cold-smoked or nonsmoked, and aging up to 6 mo, was validated and showed its effectiveness in achieving a 6-log reduction of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli O157:H7. The viable counts of L. monocytogenes populations decreased to below detection levels after 206 d, Salmonella populations required 122 d, and E. coli O157:H7 required 66 d. However, L. monocytogenes -inoculated hams were positive and Salmonella spp-inoculated and E. coli O157:H7-inoculated hams were negative following enrichment procedures at the end of the aging process. Therefore, the survival of L. monocytogenes on country-cured ham represents a risk. 相似文献

Escherichia coli O157:H7 can contaminate raw ground beef and cause serious human foodborne illness. Previous reports describe the behavior of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef under different storage conditions; however, models are lacking for the pathogen's behavior in raw ground beef stored over a broad range of temperature. Using sterile irradiated raw ground beef, the behavioral kinetics of 10 individual E. coli O157:H7 strains and/or a 5- or 10-strain cocktail were measured at storage temperatures from 5° to 46 °C. Growth occurred from 6 to 45 °C. Although lag phase duration (LPD) decreased from 10.5 to 45 °C, no lag phase was observed at 6, 8, or 10 °C. The specific growth rate (SGR) increased from 6 to 42 °C then declined up to 45 °C. In contrast to these profiles, the maximum population density (MPD) declined with increasing temperature, from approximately 9.7 to 8.2 log cfu/g. Bias (Bf) and accuracy (Af) factors for an E. coli O157:H7 broth-based aerobic growth model (10 to 42 °C) applied to the observations in ground beef were 1.05, 2.70, 1.00 and 1.29, 2.87, 1.03, for SGR, LPD and MPD, respectively. New secondary models increased the accuracy of predictions (5 to 45 °C), with Bf and Af for SGR, LPD, and MPD of 1.00, 1.06, and 1.00 and 1.14, 1.33, and 1.02, respectively. These new models offer improved tools for designing and implementing food safety systems and assessing the impact of E. coli O157:H7 disease. 相似文献

Refrigerated cucumber pickle products cannot be heat processed due to the loss of characteristic sensory attributes. Typically brined refrigerated pickles contain less than 100 mM acetic acid with pH values of 3.7 to 4.0. Refrigeration (4 to 10 °C) helps to inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and maintain flavor, texture, and appearance of the pickles. Previous research has shown that pathogenic Escherichia coli strains are unusually acid resistant and survive better in refrigerated acid solutions than at higher temperatures. We found that E. coli O157:H7 can survive for 1 mo or longer at 4 °C in brines typical of commercial refrigerated pickles. Our objective was to develop methods to assure a 5‐log reduction of pathogenic E. coli in these types of products, while maintaining the sensory characteristics. A novel brine formulation was developed, based on current commercial refrigerated pickle brines, which contained 25 mM fumaric acid, 5 mM benzoic acid, 70 mM acetic acid, and 342 mM (2%) sodium chloride, with a pH of 3.8. Sensory data indicate that this formulation did not affect flavor or other sensory attributes of the product, compared to traditional formulations. We achieved a 5‐log reduction of E. coli O157:H7 at 30 °C for 1.52 ± 0.15 d, at 20 °C for 3.12 ± 0.34 d, or at 10 °C for 8.83 ± 0.56 d. Growth of lactic acid bacteria was also inhibited. These results can be used by manufacturers to assure a 5‐log reduction in cell numbers of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella without a heat process during the manufacture of refrigerated pickle products. Practical Application : While refrigerated acidified vegetable products are exempt from the acidified foods regulations, we have shown that the vegetative microbial pathogens E. coli O157:H7 can survive for up to 1 mo in these products, given current commercial production practices. To improve the safety of refrigerated pickle products, a brine formulation with reduced acetic acid, but containing fumaric acid, was developed to assure a 5‐log reduction in cell numbers of E. coli O157:H7 without a heat process. The formulation can be used to assure the safety of refrigerated pickled vegetables without altering sensory characteristics. 相似文献

The effect of potassium sorbate (0–2 g litre−1) and sodium nitrite (0–1 g litre−1) on the growth of four strains of Escherichia coli O157: H7 in tryptic soya broth at various pH levels (pH 4·0–7·0 for sorbate, pH 5·0–8·0 for nitrite) were determined at 37°C and 4°C. Among the pH levels tested, sorbate and nitrite exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity at pH 4·0 and 5·0, respectively. At pH 5·0 and 37°C, the presence of 500 mg litre−1 sorbate or 200 mg litre−1 nitrite completely inhibited the growth of E coli O157: H7. While at higher pH levels, 2 g litre−1 sorbate or 1 g litre−1, nitrite, the highest concentration tested, did not show significant antimicrobial action against the test organisms. At 4°C and pH 5·0, the inoculated test organisms did not showed any significant growth in preservative-free control media. Different degree of inactivation and injury was observed when E coli O157: H7 strain 933 was stored in TSB (pH 5·0) containing 1 g litre−1 sorbate or nitrite at 37°C. At 4°C, inactivation and injury of E coli O157: H7 cells was not observed in the medium containing sorbate or nitrite throughout the 24 h experimental period. 相似文献

Oil‐in‐water emulsions (hexadecane, minimal media [M9], and Tween 20) were used as model system to study the growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7. Stationary‐phase cell density decreased as the hexadecane concentration was increased (0%, 5%, 20%, and 40% [w/v]) and biphasic growth was observed in 40% emulsions supplemented with 0.4% glucose. Thin aggregate fimbriae (curli) were observed using SEM, and a greater percentage (Ps <0.001) of curli‐producing colonies were isolated from 40% emulsions. Heat resistance (55 °C) of emulsion‐grown cells was greater than broth‐grown cells, indicating that growth and physiology under heterogeneous conditions differ from cells grown in liquid. 相似文献

Abstract: The decontamination efficacy of 6 chemical treatments for beef trimmings were evaluated against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and 6 non‐O157 Shiga toxin‐producing E. coli (nSTEC) serogroups. Rifampicin‐resistant 4‐strain mixtures of E. coli O157:H7 and nSTEC serogroups O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145 were separately inoculated (3 to 4 log CFU/cm2) onto trimmings (10 × 5 × 1 cm; approximately 100 g) fabricated from beef chuck rolls, and were immersed for 30 s in solutions of acidified sodium chlorite (0.1%, pH 2.5), peroxyacetic acid (0.02%, pH 3.8), sodium metasilicate (4%, pH 12.5), Bromitize® Plus (0.0225% active bromine, pH 6.6), or AFTEC 3000 (pH 1.2), or for 5 s in SYNTRx 3300 (pH 1.0). Each antimicrobial was tested independently together with an untreated control. Results showed that all tested decontamination treatments were similarly effective against the 6 nSTEC serogroups as they were against E. coli O157:H7. Irrespective of pathogen inoculum, treatment of beef trimmings with acidified sodium chlorite, peroxyacetic acid, or sodium metasilicate effectively (P < 0.05) reduced initial pathogen counts (3.4 to 3.9 log CFU/cm2) by 0.7 to 1.0, 0.6 to 1.0, and 1.3 to 1.5 log CFU/cm2, respectively. Reductions of pathogen counts (3.1 to 3.2 log CFU/cm2) by Bromitize Plus, AFTEC 3000, and SYNTRx 3300 were 0.1 to 0.4 log CFU/cm2, depending on treatment. Findings of this study should be useful to regulatory authorities and the meat industry as they consider nSTEC contamination in beef trimmings. Practical Applications: Findings of this study should be useful to: (i) meat processors as they design and conduct studies to validate the efficacy of antimicrobial treatments to control pathogen contamination on fresh beef products; and (ii) regulatory agencies as they consider approaches for better control of the studied pathogens. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in apple cider and orange juice treated with ozone in combination with antimicrobials was evaluated. E. coli O157:H7 or Salmonella was suspended in cider and orange juice, and ozone was pumped into juices (4°C) containing dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC; 250 or 500 ppm) or hydrogen peroxide (300 or 600 ppm) for up to 90 min (study 1) or 60 min followed by 24-h storage at 4°C (study 2). Study 1: No combination of treatments resulted in a 5-log colony-forming units (CFU) /mL reduction of either pathogen. Study 2: All combinations of antimicrobials plus ozone treatments, followed by refrigerated storage, caused greater than a 5-log CFU/mL reduction, except ozone/DMDC (250 ppm) treatment in orange juice. Ozone treatment in combination with DMDC or hydrogen peroxide followed by refrigerated storage may provide an alternative to thermal pasteurization to meet the 5-log reduction standard in cider and orange juice. 相似文献

Lactoferrin (LF), lysozyme (LZ), the lactoperoxidase system (LPOS), and edible whey protein isolate (WPI) films incorporating LPOS were studied for inhibition of Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Antimicrobial effects of LF (5 to 40 mg/mL), LZ (1 to 20 mg/mL), and LPOS (0.5% to 5.0% [w/v] [0.03–.25 g/g, dry basis]) were examined by measuring turbidity of antimicrobial‐containing media after inoculation and by examining cell inhibition by WPI films incorporating LPOS (LPOS‐WPI films) on an agar recovery medium. Elastic modulus (EM), tensile strength (TS), percent elongation (%E), oxygen permeability (OP), and Hunter L, a and b of WPI films incorporating 0.03 to 0.25 g/g of LPOS were compared with those of plain WPI films without LPOS. The growth of S. enterica and E. coli O157:H7 (4 log colony‐forming units [CFU]/mL) in tryptic soy broth (TSB) was not prevented by LF at ≥20 and ≥40 mg/mL, respectively. S. enterica and E. coli O157:H7 in TSB were not inhibited by LZ at ≥ 6 and ≥ 20 mg/mL, respectively. LPOS at concentrations of 2.75% (w/v) and 1.0% (w/v) reduced S. enterica and E. coli O157:H7 to below the limit of detection (1 CFU/mL) in TSB, respectively. LPOS‐WPI films (0.15 g/g) completely inhibited S. enterica and E. coli O157:H7 (4 log CFU/cm2), inoculated either onto agar before placing the film disc or onto top of the film disc. Incorporation of 0.25 g/g of LPOS decreased EM, TS, and %E. The oxygen barrier property of WPI films was improved with the incorporation of LPOS at 0.15 to 0.25 g/g. 相似文献
