Modeling the synergistic effect of high pressure and heat on inactivation kinetics of Listeria innocua: a preliminary study

2004-09-01
Buzrul, S
Alpas, Hami
The survival curves of Listeria innocua CDW47 by high hydrostatic pressure were obtained at four pressure levels (138, 207, 276, 345 MPa) and four temperatures (25, 35, 45, 50 degreesC) in peptone solution. Tailing was observed in the survival curves. Elevated temperatures and pressures substantially promoted the inactivation of L. innocua. A linear and two non-linear (Weibull and log-logistic) models were fitted to these data and the goodness of fit of these models were compared. Regression coefficients (R-2), root mean square (RMSE), accuracy factor (A(f)) values and residual plots suggested that linear model, although it produced good fits for some pressure-temperature combinations, was not as appropriate as non-linear models to represent the data. The residual and correlation plots strongly suggested that among the non linear models studied the log logistic model produced better fit to the data than the Weibull model. Such pressure-temperature inactivation models form the engineering basis for design, evaluation and optimization of high hydrostatic pressure processes as a new preservation technique.

İçgen, Bülent (Elsevier BV, 2006-12-01)
The microbial population structure and function of a mixed culture of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) maintained in anaerobic continuous bioreactors were tracked before and after a major perturbation, which involved the addition of sulfate to the influent of a bioreactor when operated at steady state at 35 degrees C, pH 7.8 and a 2.5 day residence time with feed stream containing 10 and 15 kg m(-3) sulfate as terminal electron acceptor and 19.6 and 29.4 kg m(-3) 4 ethanol as carbon source and electron donor...
Modeling high pressure inactivation of Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua in whole milk
Buzrul, Sencer; Alpas, Hami; Largeteau, Alain; DEMAZEAU, Gerard (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-01)
The survival curves of Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua inactivated by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) were obtained at room temperature (similar to 22 degrees C) and at five pressure levels (400, 450, 500, 550 and 600 MPa) in whole milk. These curves were described by the Weibull model and parameters of this model were reduced from two to one with slight loss of goodness-of-fit. The logarithm of the time constant parameter (delta) of the reduced Weibull model was described with respect to high pressur...
Evaluation of symbiotic effectiveness of various Rhizobium cicer strains
İçgen, Bülent; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2002-07-01)
Five local and seven standard strains of Rhizobium cicer were compared in terms of their efficiency in increasing the nitrogen content of the chickpea. Shoot dry weight, nodule number, nodule dry weight, protein and total nitrogen contents were taken as the parameters of plant productivity. Different combinations of the strains that were found to be promising (385, 620, Y-29 and 3379) were next employed. The maximum increase in total nitrogen content was only 3.5-fold in single infection whereas an increase...
Exposure to sulfide causes populations shifts in sulfate-reducing consortia
İçgen, Bülent (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-01)
The shift in the community structure of a mixed culture of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) at 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.5 kg m(-3) sulfide loadings was investigated in an anaerobic continuous bioreactor used for treatment of sulfate-containing wastewater by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), using SRB species-specific and group-specific 16S rRNA-targeting probes. Hybridization analysis using these 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes revealed that sulfide was toxic for Desulfonema, Desulfobulbus spp. ...
Regulation of crystal protein biosynthesis by Bacillus thuringiensis: II. Effects of carbon and nitrogen sources.
Içgen, Y; İçgen, Bülent; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2002-11-01)
The regulation of crystal protein production in Bacillus thuringiensis 81 by sources of carbon and nitrogen was investigated. The highest titers of toxin were obtained on sucrose, lactose and inulin which also supported sporulation. Whey and molasses were also potential carbon substrates for toxin production. Other carbohydrates including glucose, glycerol, maltose, starch and dextrin yielded lower amounts of toxin. Nitrogen sources were found to exert the most profound controls. Peptone was the best organi...
