- Abstract:
- ... Conventional drying of spices, as hot air treatment, often needs an additional downstream inactivation step to decrease the microbial load of the dried product and improve its microbial safety and microbial quality. In this regard, the present work explored the possibility to dry and decontaminate food in a single step using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) as a drying agent. A case study was ...

- Abstract:
- ... The aim of this study was to develop a quality index and examine the effects of drying apples using three technologies (supercritical CO2 drying, air drying and freeze drying) during a period of six months in ambient conditions. Based on nine quality parameters (textural, colour and sensory properties), a mathematical model for calculating a single total quality index (TQI) of dried apples packed ...

- Abstract:
- ... Coriander, either fresh or inoculated with three strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella or Listeria monocytogenes, was treated with supercritical CO2 (scCO2, with and without drying) or freeze-dried. After drying in scCO2 for 150 min at 80 bar and 35 °C, the aerobic plate count, yeasts and molds, and the Enterobacteriaceae were reduced by 2.80, 5.03, and 4.61 log CFU/g, respectively. The ...

The major objective of this study was to determine the influence of the initial headspace and dissolved O₂ level and vacuum packaging on growth and diarrhoeal enterotoxin production by Bacillus weihenstephanensis on potato based ready-to-eat food products. In general, the lower the initial headspace or dissolved O₂ level the slower the maximum growth rate (μₘₐₓ, log₁₀ CFU g⁻¹ d⁻¹), the longer the ...

- Abstract:

Quantitative risk assessment studies performed elsewhere showed the importance of reducing counts of Campylobacter jejuni on chicken carcasses for decrease of incidence of human campylobacteriosis. The current study indicated that 1.8 log CFU/g reduction of inoculated C. jejuni (6 log CFU/g) can be achieved by decontamination with lactic acid buffered with sodium lacatate (LA/NaLA, 10% w/v, pH 3.0 ...

- Abstract:
- ... The utilization of sub-lethal decontamination treatments gains more and more interest due to the increased consumers' demand for fresh, minimally processed and convenient food products. These products rely on cold chain and hurdle (combination) technology to provide microbiological safety and quality during their shelf life. To investigate the ability of surviving cells to resuscitate and grow in ...

Alternating cycles of exposure to pressurized CO₂ (10·5 MPa, 35°C, 400 min⁻¹, 70% working volume ratio during 10 min) and re-growth of the surviving subpopulation were used to investigate possible increases in the resista ...

- Abstract:
- ... To assure the microbiological safety and quality of a food product, a combination of preservation hurdles is often used. Therefore, the effects of carbon dioxide at concentrations of 0, 20, 40 and 60% in modified atmospheres on the resuscitation of Listeria monocytogenes cells injured by mild bactericidal treatments during storage at 7 °C were examined. The bactericidal treatments were intense lig ...

- Abstract:
- ... Penicillium expansum causes blue mould rot, a serious post-harvest disease of apples, and is the main producer of the mycotoxin patulin. The present study aimed to determine the influence of storage conditions (i.e. temperature and O2 level) on growth and patulin production by different P. expansum strains on a simulation medium and on apples. Growth was strongly influenced by the temperature, whi ...
