In recent years, outbreaks of infections associated with raw and minimally processed fruits and vegetables have been reported. The objective of this study was to analyse the growth/survival of Salmonella Enteritidis at spot-inoculated or stem-injected cherry tomatoes during passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), controlled atmosphere (CA) and to compare the results with those of air storage at 7 and 22 degrees C. During MAP, the gas composition equilibrated to 6% O-2/4% CO2. CO2 level was maintained as 5% through the term of CA storage at 7 and 22 degrees C. The results demonstrate that S. Enteritidis can survive and/or grow during the storage of tomatoes depending on the location site of the pathogen on fruit, suspension cell density and storage temperature. During MAP, CA and air storage, S. Enteritidis with initial population of 7.0 log(10) cfu/tomato survived on tomato surfaces with an approximate decrease of 4.0-5.0 log(10) cfu/tomato in population within the storage period; however, in the case of initial population of 3.0 log 10 cfu/tomato, cells died completely on day 4 during MAP storage and on day 6 during both CA and air storage. The death rate of S. Enteritidis on the surfaces of tomatoes that were stored in MAP was faster than that of stored in air and in CA. Storage temperature was effective on the survival of S. Enteritidis for the samples stored at ambient atmosphere; cells died completely on day 6 at 7 degrees C and on day 8 at 22 degrees C. Stem scars provided protective environments for Salmonella: an approximate increase of 1.0 log(10)cfu/tomato in stem-scar population was observed during MAP, CA and air storage at 22 degrees C within the period of 20 days. Cells survived with no significant change in number at 7 degrees C. During the research, the effect of ozone treatment (5-30 mg/l ozone gas for 0-20 min) was also considered for surface sanitation before storage. Gaseous ozone treatment has bactericidal effect on S. Enteritidis, inoculated on the surface of the tomatoes and can be used for surface sanitation of S. Enteritidis on tomatoes before storage at different conditions. Ten mg/l ozone gas treatment with different time intervals of 5 and 15 min was found to be effective respectively on low and high dose inoculum levels of S. Enteritidis attached for I h. Another variable considered during ozone treatment was the 4h attachment time.

Effect of controlled athmosphere storage,modified athmosphere packaging and gaseous ozone treatment on the survival characteristics of Salmonella enteritidis ay cherry tomatoes Daş, Elif; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Food Engineering (2004) In recent years, outbreaks of infections associated with raw and minimally processed fruits and vegetables have been reported. Possible sources for contamination are irrigation water, manure, wash water, handling by workers and contact with contaminated surfaces. Pathogens can occur on raw and minimally processed produce at populations ranging from 103 to 109 CFU/g and able to survive and sometimes grow under various storage conditions. The objective of this study was to analyse the growth/survival of Salmo...
Effect of osmotic pretreatment and microwave frying on acrylamide formation in potato strips Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Wiley, 2007-12-01) BACKGROUND: The presence of acrylamide, a probable carcinogen, is currently a major concern relating to the consumption of fried products. Therefore, recent frying studies have focused on ways of reducing the acrylamide content. The main objective of the present study was to determine the effects of microwave frying and osmotic treatment prior to frying on acrylamide formation in potato strips.
Antibacterial activity of cinnamon oil against multidrug-resistant Salmonella serotypes and anti-quorum sensing potential Kiymaci, Merve Eylul ; Kaşkatepe, Banu ; Soyer, Yeşim (2022-01-01) The antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella and other foodborne pathogenic bacteria, witnessed in recent years, has become a significant health concern. Bacteria use chemical signals to communicate each other and regulate their behavior including virulence. Due to increasing antibiotic resistance, new drug development strategies are being investigated and the use of active ingredients of various medicinal and aromatic plants as alternatives to antibiotics is tested. This study aimed to determine the anti-quo...
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...
Subtyping of salmonella isolated from human clinical and animal non-clinical cases, as well as different food samples using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) / Bulut, Ece; Soyer, Yeşim; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biotechnology (2014) Salmonella is one of the most reported pathogens in foodborne outbreaks worldwide. In order to ensure safety of foods, farm-to-fork surveillance and control systems must be utilized. Development of numerous typing methods have improved the ability to detect salmonellosis outbreaks, enabling to trace the contaminated source from farm to fork. Facilitating prevention and regulation of techniques, knowledge of the epidemiology, genetics and ecology of Salmonella infections depend on the information provided by...
