Cho ER, Kang DH. Development and investigation of ultrasound-assisted pulsed ohmic heating for inactivation of foodborne pathogens in milk with different fat content. Food Res Int 2024; 179:113978. [PMID: 38342529 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.113978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
The central objective of this research was to develop an ultrasound-assisted pulsed ohmic heating (POH) system for inactivation of food-borne pathogens in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and milk with 0-3.6% fat and investigate its bactericidal effect. Combining ultrasound with POH did not significantly affect the temperature profile of samples. Both POH alone and ultrasound-assisted POH took 120 s to heat PBS 60℃. Milk with 0, 1, and 3.6% fat was heated to 60℃ by POH alone and ultrasound-assisted POH after 335, 475, and 525 s, respectively. This is because the electrical conductivity of the samples was the same for POH alone and ultrasound-assisted POH. Despite identical temperature profiles, ultrasound-assisted POH exerted a synergistic effect on the reduction of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. In particular, the inactivation level of S. Typhimurium in PBS subjected to ultrasound-assisted POH treatment for 120 s corresponding to a treatment temperature of 60℃ was 3.73 log units higher than the sum of each treatment alone. A propidium iodide assay, intracellular protein measurements, and scanning electron microscopy revealed that ultrasound-assisted POH treatment provoked lethal cell membrane damage and leakage of intracellular proteins. Meanwhile, fat in milk reduced the efficacy of the bacterial inactivation of the ultrasound-assisted POH system due to its low electrical conductivity and sonoprotective effect. After ultrasound-assisted POH treatment at 60℃, there were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the pH, color, and apparent viscosity of milk between the untreated and treated group.

Kang SY, Cho ER, Kang DH. Inactivation of foodborne pathogens in ground pork tenderloin using 915 MHz microwave heating depending on power level. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113231. [PMID: 37803544 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
The main purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of power level of 915 MHz microwave heating on the inactivation of foodborne pathogens in ground pork and its bactericidal mechanism. It was demonstrated that the heating rate was proportional to the power level. For instance, the heating rates observed at microwave heating powers of 2, 3, 4, and 5 kW were 1.70, 2.77, 3.35, and 4.03℃/s, respectively. The bactericidal effect of microwave heating also significantly (P < 0.05) increased with increasing power level. In particular, when ground pork was subjected to microwave heating at 5 kW, the reduction level of pathogens was>2 log units higher than at 2 kW. To determine the bactericidal mechanism of microwave heating depending on power level, changes in transmembrane potential and DNA damage were determined using fluorescence. The extent of depolarization in membrane potential of pathogens significantly (P < 0.05) increased as power level increased. There was no significant difference in degree of DNA damage at different power levels. However, the percentage of DNA damage was>86% at all power levels. The transmembrane potential assay indicates that the bacteria exhibited dramatic pore formation on the membrane at 5 kW. Through transmission electron microscopy, the electroporation effect was enhanced as power level increased. Moreover, the quality of ground pork subjected to microwave heating at 2-5 kW was determined by measuring the moisture content, cooking loss, and texture profile.

Inactivation of Bacillus cereus endospores on black pepper by pulsed superheated steam system. Food Res Int 2023; 167:112649. [PMID: 37087238 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a superheated steam (SHS) system was constructed to inactivate Bacillus cereus endospores on the surface of black pepper, and continuous and pulsed treatment was applied to compare sporicidal effects. Additionally, inactivation mechanisms were analyzed to investigate the differences between pulsed and continuous SHS treatments. SHS at 250 °C and 300 °C for 1 min achieved more than a 3 log reduction, whereas SHS at 200 °C for 1 min achieved less than 2 log reduction in the number of endospores. In addition, higher microbicidal effects were confirmed with pulsed SHS treatment with a shorter duty ratio. To elucidate the inactivation mechanisms, inner membrane damage (dipicolinic acid release), intracellular enzyme activities, and DNA integrity were measured after 300 °C SHS pulsed or continuous treatments. After pulsed SHS treatment for up to 20 s, intracellular enzymes were inactivated more rapidly than after continuous treatment, and more DPA was released after 40 s of treatment, indicating that enzyme inactivation occurred prior to inner membrane damage, and pulsed treatment accelerated this mode of action. DNA integrity was significantly lower after 60 s of pulsed or continuous treatment; however, there was no difference in between pulsed and continuous treatments. Our results provide fundamental insights for the sterilization of black pepper by SHS treatment in food industries.

Abstract
Leisure dried tofu (LD-tofu) was prepared using two different marinating processes: the repeated heating method (RHM) and the vacuum pulse method (VPM). The quality characteristics and bacterial community succession of LD-tofu and the marinade were evaluated. The results showed that the nutrients in LD-tofu were easily dissolved into the marinade during the marinating process, while the protein and moisture content of RHM LD-tofu changed most dramatically. With the increase in marinade recycling times, the springiness, chewiness and hardness of VPM LD-tofu increased significantly. The total viable count (TVC) of the VPM LD-tofu decreased from the initial value of 4.41 lg cfu/g to 2.51-2.67 lg cfu/g as a result of the marinating process, which had a significant inhibitory effect. Additionally, 26, 167 and 356 communities in the LD-tofu and marinade were detected at the phylum, family and genus levels, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that Pseudomonadaceae, Thermaceae and Lactobacillaceae were closely related to the quality characteristics of LD-tofu, whereas Caulobacteriaceae, Bacillaceae and Enterobacteriae were closely related to the marinade. The present work provides a theoretical basis for the screening of functional strains and quality control in LD-tofu and marinade.
