The combined effect of high hydrostatic pressure, heat and bacteriocins on inactivation of foodborne pathogens in milk and orange juice

2000-06-01
The objective of this study was to combine pressure (345 MPa) with heat (50 degrees C), and bacteriocins (5000 AU/ml sample) for a short time (5 min) for the inactivation of relatively pressure-resistant strains of four foodborne pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in pasteurized milk and orange juice. Without bacteriocin addition, 5.5 log-cycle reduction was obtained for S. aureus 485 in milk whereas more than 8 log-cycle reduction was achieved for all the other strains studied. After storage of samples for 24 h at 4 degrees C, S. aureus 765 also gave positive results on selective media, where no growth was observed for all the other micro-organisms assayed. Incubation of the same pressurized samples at 37 degrees C for 48 h showed growth of L. monocytogenes strains in addition to S. aureus strains, where still no growth was observed for E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella strains in their respective selective media. For orange juice samples, more than 8 log-cycle reduction was achieved for all the bacterial species studied. No growth was seen for these species on their respective selective media agar plates after storage at 4 degrees C for 24 h and at 37 degrees C for 48 h. When a bacteriocin-based biopreservative (BP1) was combined with pressurization, more than 8 log-cycle reduction in cell population of the resistant strains of S. aureus and L. monocytogenes were achieved in milk after pressurization. Milk samples were stored at 25 degrees C up to 30 days to test the effect of treatment and samples showed no growth whereas all the controls were positive.

Modeling inactivation kinetics of food borne pathogens at a constant temperature
Buzrul, Sencer; Alpas, Hami (2007-01-01)
Four food borne pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes CA and Ohio(2), Salmonella enteritidis FDA and Salmonella typhinlurium E21274, Escherichict coli O157:H7 931 and 933, Staphylococcus aureus 485 and 765) were inactivated under mild temperature (60 degrees C) and their survival curves determined at selected time intervals. Tailing was observed in all survival curves as a monotonic upward concavity. The resulting survival curves were either described by the Weibull or traditional first-order model and goodness...
Physiological changes of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus following exposure to high hydrostatic pressure
ÇELİK, MUTLU; Yousef, Ahmed; Alpas, Hami (2013-09-01)
Morphological changes and membrane integrity of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus cells before and after high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatments (200-400 MPa) and time (1-5 min), at a constant temperature (40 A degrees C), in peptone water were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescent microscopy, respectively. SEM images showed that unpressurized cells exhibited a smooth surface appearance. E. coli O157:H7 cells exposed to pressure treatments first appeared la...

The effects of the bcsE gene and BcsE protein on bacterial physiology and pathogenicity in SalmonellaTyphimurium and Salmonella Group C1 were investigated. It was observed that biofilm and pellicle formation did not occur in the bcsE gene mutants of wild-type strains. Besides, the 'rdar' (red, dry, rough) biofilm morphotype in wild-type strains changed significantly in the mutants. In terms of the bcsE gene, the swimming and swarming motility in mutant strains showed a dramatic increase compared to the wild...
Interactions of high hydrostatic pressure, pressurization temperature and pH on death and injury of pressure-resistant and pressure-sensitive strains of foodborne pathogens
Alpas, Hami; BOZOGLU, F; RAY, B (Elsevier BV, 2000-09-15)
The objective of this: study is to determine the interactions between high hydrostatic pressure, pressurization temperature, time and pH during pressurization on death and injury of pressure-resistant and pressure-sensitive strains of four foodborne pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus 485 and 765, Listeria monocytogenes CA and OH2, Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 and 931, Salmonella enteritidis FDA and Salmonella typhimurium E21274. Among these strains S. aureus 485, L. monocytogenes CA, E, coli O157:H7 933 and S...
Combined effect of high hydrostatic pressure treatment and hydrogen peroxide on Salmonella Enteritidis in liquid whole egg
Isiker, G; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Bayındırlı, Alev (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-09-01)
The effects of high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HHP) of 250, 350, 450 MPa and hydrogen peroxide additions at different concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1% in liquid whole egg following high hydrostatic pressure treatment at 250 MPa at 20degreesC on Salmonella Enteritidis PT4 in liquid whole egg were investigated. At 20degreesC for 5 min treatment, 56.63 and 49.38% injury were determined for the treatment pressures of 250 and 350 MPa, respectively. Injury was not detected and total destruction of Salmonella E...
