Advances in propolis and propolis functionalized coatings and films for fruits and vegetables preservation. Food Chem 2023; 414:135662. [PMID: 36808021 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
Propolis, as a natural active substance, is rich in polyphenols, with low toxicity, antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial properties, which can be applied to the post-harvest preservation of fruits and vegetables. Propolis extracts and propolis functionalized coatings and films have exhibited good freshness in various types of fruits and vegetables as well as fresh-cut vegetables. They are mainly used to prevent water loss after harvesting, to inhibit the infestation of bacteria and fungi after harvesting and to enhance the firmness and apparent quality of fruits and vegetables. Moreover, propolis and propolis functionalized composites have a small or even insignificant effect on the physicochemical parameters of fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, how to cover the special smell of propolis itself so that it does not affect the flavor of fruits and vegetables, and the application of propolis extract in wrapping paper and packaging bag of fruits and vegetables, are worthwhile to further investigate.

[PMID: 37111877 PMCID: PMC10142627 DOI: 10.3390/plants12081654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Propolis is a natural hive product collected by honeybees from different plants and trees. The collected resins are then mixed with bee wax and secretions. Propolis has a long history of use in traditional and alternative medicine. Propolis possesses recognized antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Both properties are characteristics of food preservatives. Moreover, most propolis components, in particular flavonoids and phenolic acids, are natural constituents of food. Several studies suggest that propolis could find use as a natural food preservative. This review is focused on the potential application of propolis in the antimicrobial and antioxidant preservation of food and its possible application as new, safe, natural, and multifunctional material in food packaging. In addition, the possible influence of propolis and its used extracts on the sensory properties of food is also discussed.

Sun Y, Wu Z, Zhang Y, Wang J. Use of aqueous ozone rinsing to improve the disinfection efficacy and shorten the processing time of ultrasound-assisted washing of fresh produce. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 83:105931. [PMID: 35092941 PMCID: PMC8801763 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.105931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
In minimal processing industry, chlorine is widely used in the disinfection process and ultrasound (US) increases the disinfection efficacy of chlorine and reduces the cross-contamination incidence during washing. Tap water (TW), which has no disinfection effect, is generally used to rinse off sanitizer residues on the surface of disinfected fresh-cut vegetables. In this study, aqueous ozone (AO), a low-cost and residue-free sanitizer, was used to replace TW rinsing in combination with US (28 kHz)-chlorine (free chlorine [FC] at 10 ppm, a concentration recommended for industrial use) for the disinfection of fresh-cut lettuce as a model. US-chlorine (40 s) + 2.0 ppm AO (60 s) treatment resulted in browning spots on lettuce surface at the end of storage. In contrast, US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm AO (60 s) did not lead to deterioration of the sensory quality (sensory crispness, color, and flavor) and a change in total color difference, and the activities of browning-related enzymes were significantly lower. Moreover, US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm of AO (60 s) treatment led to significantly lower counts of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, aerobic mesophilic (AMC), and molds and yeasts (M&Y) on days 0-7 than US-chlorine (60 s) + TW (60 s) and single 1.0 ppm AO (120 s) treatments, suggesting that AO provided an additional disinfection effect over TW, while reducing the overall processing time by 20 s. Cell membrane permeability analysis (alkaline phosphatase, protein, nucleotide, and adenosine triphosphate leakage) showed that the combination with 1.0 ppm AO caused more severe cell membrane damage in E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium, explaining the higher disinfection efficacy. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that following US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm of AO (60 s) treatment, Massilia and Acinetobacter had higher relative abundances (RAs) on day 7 than after US-chlorine (60 s) + TW (60 s) treatment, whereas the RAs of Escherichia-Shigella was significantly lower, indicating that the former treatment has a superior capacity in maintaining a stable microbial composition. This explains from an ecological point of view why US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm of AO (60 s) led to the lowest AMC and M&Y counts during storage. The study results provide evidence that AO has potential as an alternative to TW rinsing to increase the disinfection efficacy of US-chlorine.

J Food Sci 2021; 86:2035-2044. [PMID: 33876846 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2020] [Revised: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 02/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
To improve fresh-cut produce quality and shelf life, 0.5% or 1.0% MicroGARD® 730 (MG) as a natural alternative to synthetic chemical preservatives, 2.5% NatureSeal® (NS) product (vitamin/mineral-based blends), 0.5% MG combined with 2.5% NS, and 1% MG combined with 2.5% NS were used to treat fresh-cut butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata). The 240 g samples were put into food grade bags and stored at 4 or 7 °C. Microbial population, including aerobic plate counts (APCs), yeast and molds, total coliforms, and quality parameters, including head space O2 /CO2 concentration in package, pH, soluble solids, color, and conductivity, were evaluated after 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 20 days of storage. Results showed that after 6 days of storage at 7 °C, APC of check and control samples reached to 2.6 × 108 and 1.5 × 107 CFU/g, respectively; while they were kept at 104 CFU/g (3 to 4 log reduction) in the squash samples treated with 0.5% or 1% MG combined with NS at 7 °C. Similar results were found on squash samples stored at 4 °C for 9 days. The cut squash treated with MG combined with NS had APC ≤ 107 CFU/g at 4 °C for about 20 days compared to 9 days in controls or 0.5% MG-treated samples, and 12 days in 1% MG-treated or NS-treated samples, respectively. Considering overall quality and extended shelf life, MG combined with NS was recommended to apply to cut squashes stored at 4 °C. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This research provided useful information and practical treatment application for developing fresh-cut produce with good quality and extended shelf life up to 20 days at 4 °C.

Abstract
A large portion of global food waste is caused by microbial spoilage. The modern approach to preserve food is to apply different hurdles for microbial pathogens to overcome. These vary from thermal processes and chemical additives, to the application of irradiation and modified atmosphere packaging. Even though such preservative techniques exist, loss of food to spoilage still prevails. Plant compounds and peptides represent an untapped source of potential novel natural food preservatives. Of these, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are very promising for exploitation. AMPs are a significant component of a plant's innate defense system. Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential application of these AMPs; however, more studies, particularly in the area of food preservation are warranted. This review examines the literature on the application of AMPs and other plant compounds for the purpose of reducing food losses and waste (including crop protection). A focus is placed on the plant defensins, their natural extraction and synthetic production, and their safety and application in food preservation. In addition, current challenges and impediments to their full exploitation are discussed.
