Abstract
Fruits and vegetables (F&V) are a significant part of our diet consumption. Microbial and pesticide residues are the predominant safety hazards of F&V consumption. Ordinary water washing has a very limited effect on removing microorganisms and pesticide residues and requires high water usage. Ultrasound, as an environmentally friendly technology, shows excellent potential for reducing microbial contamination and pesticide residue. This paper summarizes the research on ultrasound application in F&V washing, including the removal of microbial and pesticide residues and the comprehensive effect on their physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, multimode ultrasonic-assisted techniques like multi-frequency and sequential ultrasound, combined with novel and conventional methods, can enhance the ultrasound-based effect and be more effective and sustainable in preventing F&V from microbial contamination. Overall, this work explicitly establishes the background on the potential for ultrasound cleaning and disinfection in the food industry as a green, effective, and ultimate method of preventing foodborne illnesses.

Bai L, Liu M, Sun Y. Overview of Food Preservation and Traceability Technology in the Smart Cold Chain System. Foods 2023; 12:2881. [PMID: 37569150 PMCID: PMC10417803 DOI: 10.3390/foods12152881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
According to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about a third of all food produced for human consumption in the world is lost or wasted-approximately 1.3 billion tons. Among this, the amount lost during the storage stage is about 15-20% for vegetables and 10-15% for fruits. It is 5-10% for vegetables and fruits during the distribution stage, resulting in a large amount of resource waste and economic losses. At the same time, the global population affected by hunger has reached 828 million, exceeding one-tenth of the total global population. The improvement of the cold chain system will effectively reduce the amount of waste and loss of food during the storage and transportation stages. Firstly, this paper summarizes the concept and development status of traditional preservation technology; environmental parameter sensor components related to fruit and vegetable spoilage in the intelligent cold chain system; the data transmission and processing technology of the intelligent cold chain system, including wireless network communication technology (WI-FI) and cellular mobile communication; short-range communication technology, and the low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN). The smart cold chain system is regulated and optimized through the Internet of Things, blockchain, and digital twin technology to achieve the sustainable development of smart agriculture. The deep integration of artificial intelligence and traditional preservation technology provides new ideas and solutions for the problem of food waste in the world. However, the lack of general standards and the high cost of the intelligent cold chain system are obstacles to the development of the intelligent cold chain system. Governments and researchers at all levels should strive to highly integrate cold chain systems with artificial intelligence technology, establish relevant regulations and standards for cold chain technology, and actively promote development toward intelligence, standardization, and technology.

Abstract
The inhibition of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538 (S. aureus), Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076 (S. Enteritidis), and Listeria monocytogenes DSM12464 (L. monocytogenes) is one of the main aims of the food industry. This study was the first in which the use of ultrasound and microwave power were applied to optimize the values of the bioactive components, amino acids, and mineral compositions of tangerine juice and to inhibit Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Listeria monocytogenes. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to describe the inactivation kinetics, and the effects of ultrasound treatment time (X1: 12–20 min), ultrasound amplitude (X2:60–100%), microwave treatment time (X3: 30–40 s), and microwave power (X4:200–700 W). The optimum parameters applied to a 5-log reduction in E. coli were determined as ultrasound (12 min, 60%) and microwave (34 s, 700 W). The optimum condition ultrasound–microwave treatment was highly effective in tangerine juice, achieving up to 5.27, 5.12, and 7.19 log reductions for S. aureus, S. Enteritidis, and L. monocytogenes, respectively. Ultrasound–microwave treatment increased the total phenolic compounds and total amino acids. While Cu, K, Mg, and Na contents were increased, Fe and Ca contents were lower in the UM-TJ (ultrasound–microwave-treated tangerine juice) sample. In this case, significant differences were detected in the color values of ultrasound–microwave-treated tangerine juice (UM-TJ) (p < 0.05). The results of this study showed that ultrasound–microwave treatment is a potential alternative processing and preservation technique for tangerine juice, resulting in no significant quality depreciation.

Abstract
The demand for the production of high quality and safe food products has been ever increasing. Consequently, the industry is looking for novel technologies in food processing operations that are cost-effective, rapid and have a better efficiency over traditional methods. Ultrasound is well-known technology to enhance the rate of heat and mass transfer providing a high end-product quality, at just a fraction of time and energy normally required for conventional methods. The irradiation of foods with ultrasound creates acoustic cavitation that has been used to cause desirable changes in the treated products. The technology is being successfully used in various unit operations such as sterilization, pasteurization, extraction, drying, emulsification, degassing, enhancing oxidation, thawing, freezing and crystallization, brining, pickling, foaming and rehydration, and so forth. However, the high pressure and temperature associated with the cavitation process is expected to induce some changes in the textural and rheological properties of foods which form an important aspect of product quality in terms of consumer acceptability. The present review is aimed to focus on the effects of ultrasound processing on the textural and rheological properties of food products and how these properties are influenced by the process variables.

Abstract
Nowadays, food treatment technologies are constantly evolving due to an increasing demand for healthier and tastier food with longer shelf lives. In this review, our aim is to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of some of the most exploited industrial techniques for food processing and microorganism deactivation, dividing them into those that exploit high temperatures (pasteurization, sterilization, aseptic packaging) and those that operate thanks to their inherent chemical–physical principles (ultrasound, ultraviolet radiation, ozonation, high hydrostatic pressure). The traditional thermal methods can reduce the number of pathogenic microorganisms to safe levels, but non-thermal technologies can also reduce or remove the adverse effects that occur using high temperatures. In the case of ultrasound, which inactivates pathogens, recent advances in food treatment are reported. Throughout the text, novel discoveries of the last decade are presented, and non-thermal methods have been demonstrated to be more attractive for processing a huge variety of foods. Preserving the quality and nutritional values of the product itself and at the same time reducing bacteria and extending shelf life are the primary targets of conscious producers, and with non-thermal technologies, they are increasingly possible.

Abstract
Standalone and sequential ultrasound (US) and ozone (OZ) processes were applied to cashew apple juice. An unsupervised method, by principal component analysis (PCA), was used to understand the effect of the non-thermal treatments on the cashew apple composition. The US processing (373 W/cm2; 10 min; 40 °C) promoted the highest peroxidase inactivation and increased the flavonoid content and antioxidant activity (DPPH ABTS and FRAP methods). The ozone processing (0.24 mg O3/mL) increased total phenolic compounds (TPC). Sequential processing was carried out by applying both of the processes, using the best processing conditions for US and OZ. Sequential processing resulted in the higher retention of yellow flavonoids than in the control and single processing. However, the effect of sequential US and OZ processing can be deleterious to vitamin C and TPC after 30 days of cold storage while maintaining the flavonoids of the cashew apple juice. Furthermore, the synergy between US and OZ reduced native microbiota counts, suggesting a microbiologically safe juice. Further studies on the mechanism of bioactive compound degradation might be helpful for product quality modulation.

Abstract
Food wastage is a major issue impacting public health, the environment and the economy in the context of rising population and decreasing natural resources. Wastage occurs at all stages from harvesting to the consumer, calling for advanced techniques of food preservation. Wastage is mainly due to presence of moisture and microbial organisms present in food. Microbes can be killed or deactivated, and cross-contamination by microbes such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) should be avoided. Moisture removal may not be feasible in all cases. Preservation methods include thermal, electrical, chemical and radiation techniques. Here, we review the advanced food preservation techniques, with focus on fruits, vegetables, beverages and spices. We emphasize electrothermal, freezing and pulse electric field methods because they allow both pathogen reduction and improvement of nutritional and physicochemical properties. Ultrasound technology and ozone treatment are suitable to preserve heat sensitive foods. Finally, nanotechnology in food preservation is discussed.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) combined with chemical agents could represent an effective method for decontaminating fruits and vegetables. This study aimed to evaluate the use of US (40 kHz for 5 min) alone or with 1% lactic acid (LA), 1% commercial detergent (DET), or 6 mg/L silver nanoparticles (AgNP, average diameter 100 nm) as an alternative treatment to 200 mg/L sodium dichloroisocyanurate for inactivating Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis present on cherry tomatoes. The interfacial tension between sanitizing solutions and bacterial adhesion was investigated. Sanitizers in solutions with DET and AgNP had lower surface tension. All treatments, except that with DET, reduced Salmonella Enteritidis by more than one logarithmic cycle. There was no significant difference between the mean values of log colony-forming units (CFU)/g reduction in all treatments. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the loss of the Salmonella Enteritidis capsule following treatment with US and with US + LA. Salmonella Enteritidis counts (2.29 log CFU/g) in cherry tomatoes were markedly reduced to safe levels by treatment with the combination of AgNP and US + LA (2.37 log CFU/g).
