Anti-Listeria monocytogenes activity of enterocins microencapsulated by ionic gelation

The encapsulation of enterocins synthesized by Enterococcus faecium CRL1385 through ionic gelation with calcium ions was analyzed. Different enterocins samples were lyophilised and encapsulated using low-methoxyl pectin as the coating material. Lipids present in milk butter were also added to control the release of antimicrobial peptides from the capsules. The morphology of fresh and freeze-dried capsules was examined using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Antimicrobial activity of encapsulated bacteriocins was assessed against Listeria monocytogenes 01/155 using the agar diffusion technique and direct contact in microplates. The capsules with higher lipid content showed a more spherical and uniform shape. Pathogen inhibition was observed for capsules prepared with different bacteriocin solutions both on solid (halo diameter = 8.5–13.5 mm) and in an aqueous medium (ca. 2 log orders decline in L. monocytogenes viability). The outcomes suggest that bacteriocin encapsulation through ionic gelation can be a potential alternative for the application of these antimicrobial peptides as biopreservatives in food.     

真空包装熟肉制品中的特定腐败微生物及其控制

真空包装低温熟肉制品的腐败变质主要是由乳酸菌引起的,腐败突出表现在出汁、产酸、产气、发粘4种感官腐败.主导腐败的微生物由清酒乳杆菌、弯曲乳杆菌、异型发酵的肠膜明串珠菌以及绿色魏斯菌等乳酸菌组成.在蒸煮阶段能够杀灭绝大多数微生物,腐败菌污染主要是在于后续的冷却、切片和真空包装阶段.采用超高压处理以及应用生物保护培养物,可以有效控制该类肉制品中的腐败微生物及部分致病微生物.     

Bacteriocins: Recent Trends and Potential Applications

In the modern era, there is great need for food preservation in both developing and developed countries due to increasing demand for extending shelf life and prevention of spoilage of food material. With the emergence of new pathogens and ability of micro-organisms to undergo changes, exploration of new avenues for the food preservation has gained importance. Moreover, awareness among consumers regarding harmful effects of chemical preservatives has been increased. Globally, altogether there is increasing demand by consumers for chemical-free and minimal processed food products. Potential of bacteriocin and its application in reducing the microbiological spoilages and in the preservation of food is long been recognized. Bacteriocins are normally specific to closely related species without disrupting the growth of other microbial populations. A number of applications of bacteriocin have been reported for humans, live stock, aquaculture etc. This review is focused on recent trends and applications of bacteriocins in different areas in addition to their biopreservative potential.     

Biopreservation of Fior di Latte cheese

In this study a new biopreservation system consisting of an active sodium alginate coating containing Lactobacillus reuteri applied to Fior di Latte cheese was studied. The final aim was to extend cheese shelf life by the in situ production of reuterin. Experimental trials were carried out with and without glycerol. How the fermentation time could improve the production of reuterin, enabling Fior di Latte shelf life, was also assessed. To this aim, the experimental analyses were conducted in 2 different trials, using 2 different production batches of samples. In the first one, Fior di Latte samples were dipped into the active sodium alginate solution prepared on the same day of their production, whereas in the second trial, samples were dipped into the active solution prepared 48 h before their production to allow a proper fermentation of the inoculated microorganism. Microbiological and sensory quality indices were monitored to prove the effectiveness of biopreservation on product quality during storage. In the first trial, the combination of the probiotic microorganism with glycerol improved the microbial quality by 1 d compared with the same active solution without glycerol, whereas the 48-h-fermented active alginate solution (second trial) showed a further improved microbial quality. The application of an active coating enriched with L. reuteri and glycerol to Fior di Latte cheese is an optimal and innovative way to preserve the product and at the same time, with a combination of an optimal fermentation time, to prolong its microbial quality and thus its shelf life.     

Preservation technologies for fresh meat – A review

Fresh meat is a highly perishable product due to its biological composition. Many interrelated factors influence the shelf life and freshness of meat such as holding temperature, atmospheric oxygen (O₂), endogenous enzymes, moisture, light and most importantly, micro-organisms. With the increased demand for high quality, convenience, safety, fresh appearance and an extended shelf life in fresh meat products, alternative non-thermal preservation technologies such as high hydrostatic pressure, superchilling, natural biopreservatives and active packaging have been proposed and investigated. Whilst some of these technologies are efficient at inactivating the micro-organisms most commonly related to food-borne diseases, they are not effective against spores. To increase their efficacy against vegetative cells, a combination of several preservation technologies under the so-called hurdle concept has also been investigated. The objective of this review is to describe current methods and developing technologies for preserving fresh meat. The benefits of some new technologies and their industrial limitations is presented and discussed.     

筛选用于四川泡菜生物保鲜的产细菌素乳酸菌

从8 种中国传统四川泡菜中筛选产细菌素的乳酸菌,以用于四川泡菜的生物保鲜。从四川泡菜样品中共分离出227 株乳酸菌,并筛选出8 株能够产生细菌素类化合物抑制英诺克李斯特氏菌（Listeria innocua）、金黄色葡萄球菌（Staphylococcus aureus）、枯草芽孢杆菌（Bacillus subtilis）和蜡样芽孢杆菌（Bacillus cereus）生长的乳酸菌。其中Lactobacillus harbinensis B22、屎肠球菌E6（Enterococcus faecium E6）和植物乳杆菌E11（Lb. plantarumE11）能够产生抑制革兰氏阴性菌大肠杆菌（Escherichia coli）生长的细菌素类化合物。进一步研究表明,这3 株乳酸菌耐酸、耐高盐,能够在四川泡菜模拟培养基中生长并产生耐酸耐高温的细菌素类化合物。结果表明,Lactobacillus harbinensis B22、屎肠球菌E6和植物乳杆菌E11可用于四川泡菜的生物保鲜。
