Modelling inactivation kinetics of free and encapsulated probiotic cells in millet biscuit under different baking conditions. Food Res Int 2023; 174:113573. [PMID: 37986522 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113573] [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: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
The rising popularity of probiotic food in the diet for improved health benefits leads to the development of new probiotic functional foods. In general, biscuit is a long-shelf-life snack product that can be consumed straight from the pack without further processing. Although the development of probiotic bakery products is an innovative approach to market expansion, the infusion of probiotics in biscuits to produce probiotic biscuits has not been explored because of the complexity of the baking process. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of baking conditions (160, 180, 200, and 220 °C) on the viability of free and encapsulated probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus NCDC 016 cells by adding them into biscuit dough separately and baking for up to 600 sec. The cells were encapsulated using 20 % maltodextrin and 8.51 % gum arabic as a wall material and spray drying at an inlet and outlet air temperature of 150 and 55 ± 2 °C, respectively. At different baking temperatures (160, 180, 200, and 220 °C), the viability of probiotic (free and encapsulated) cells, the physicochemical properties of biscuits, and the inactivation kinetics of cells were examined by withdrawing samples every 120 sec. The survivability of encapsulated cells was observed to be higher than free cells at 160 and 180 °C for 600 sec. The moisture content and water activity were found to be higher and lower, respectively for encapsulated probiotic biscuits than for the biscuit containing free cells. The observed results of higher cell viability at 200 °C, 360 sec (5.38 log CFU/g) than at 180 °C, 600 sec (5.02 log CFU/g) can be explained by the time-temperature combination. Thus, producing the probiotic biscuit at baking conditions of 200 °C and 360 min is possible, providing the cell viability of 5 log CFU/g of probiotic biscuit. Further, the inactivation kinetics of cells were predicted by log-linear, Weibull, log-logistic, Gompertz, and Buchanan models. Under all baking conditions, the log-linear model was the best model for describing the data of encapsulated and free cells.

Antioxidant activities, phenolic compounds, and mineral composition of seed from Acacia retinodes, A. Provincialis and A. Tenuissima. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113452. [PMID: 37803777 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113452] [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: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
Seeds of the species Acacia retinodes, A. provincialis, and A. tenuissima) from different growing locations were analysed for their mineral composition, free and bound polyphenols, and flavonoids. Previous research has studied these compounds in only a limited number of Acacia species, and only one study reports significant differences between three species. All species were rich in potassium (353 - 427 mg/100 g), sodium (14 - 240 mg/100 g) and iron (7 - 8 mg/100 g). The free polyphenol extracts of all species had higher total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activities than their bound counterparts, indicating the possibility of higher bioavailability than the bound polyphenol extracts. The predominant phenolic compounds found in the Acacia polyphenol seed extracts were 6-Hydroxy-2-methylindole and 2,2'-Methylenebis(6-tert-butyl-methylphenol), though no phenolic compounds were identified in the bound extracts of A. retinodes Grampians and A. provincialis Tarrington. Other compounds identified in the seed extracts include sucrose, d-fructofuranose and d-pinitol.

Abstract
Researching on potential biopolymer sources with the aim of developing edible films with better mechanical and barrier properties has become innovative as it would be a key factor to minimize the use of synthetic polymers in food packaging. Therefore, different biopolymers such as galactomannan have been gaining attention recently. Fenugreek seed gum is a rich source of galactomannan which is minimally researched on its applicability in edible film making. The degree of galactose substitution and polymerization are the main factors that determine the functional properties of galactomannan. A strong and cohesive film matrix cannot be produced from fenugreek seed gum as its molecular interaction is weakened due to the high galactose substitution with a high galactose/mannose ratio, 1:1. Structural modifications of galactomannan in fenugreek seed gum will lead to films with the required mechanical properties. Hence, this review summarizes recent scientific studies on the limitations of fenugreek seed gum as a film forming agent and the specific modification techniques that can be applied in order to increase its film forming capability and performance.

The Microbial Genetic Diversity and Succession Associated with Processing Waters at Different Broiler Processing Stages in an Abattoir in Australia. Pathogens 2023; 12:pathogens12030488. [PMID: 36986410 PMCID: PMC10053010 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens12030488] [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: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The high organic content of abattoir-associated process water provides an alternative for low-cost and non-invasive sample collection. This study investigated the association of microbial diversity from an abattoir processing environment with that of chicken meat. Water samples from scalders, defeathering, evisceration, carcass-washer, chillers, and post-chill carcass rinsate were collected from a large-scale abattoir in Australia. DNA was extracted using the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit, and the 16S rRNA v3-v4 gene region was sequenced using Illumina MiSeq. The results revealed that the Firmicutes decreased from scalding to evisceration (72.55%) and increased with chilling (23.47%), with the Proteobacteria and Bacteroidota changing inversely. A diverse bacterial community with 24 phyla and 392 genera was recovered from the post-chill chicken, with Anoxybacillus (71.84%), Megamonas (4.18%), Gallibacterium (2.14%), Unclassified Lachnospiraceae (1.87%), and Lactobacillus (1.80%) being the abundant genera. The alpha diversity increased from scalding to chilling, while the beta diversity revealed a significant separation of clusters at different processing points (p = 0.01). The alpha- and beta-diversity revealed significant contamination during the defeathering, with a redistribution of the bacteria during the chilling. This study concluded that the genetic diversity during the defeathering is strongly associated with the extent of the post-chill contamination, and may be used to indicate the microbial quality of the chicken meat.

Compositional and functional changes in Acacia tenuissima seeds due to processing. Food Res Int 2023; 164:112383. [PMID: 36737970 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.112383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The chemical, functional, anti-nutritional, and antioxidant composition of raw and roasted Acacia tenuissima seeds were determined to evaluate the impact of heat processing. The raw seeds were relatively high in protein (25.2 %), fat (10.3 %) and crude fiber (13.2 %), potassium (760 mg/100 g), magnesium (111 mg/100 g) and calcium (66.5 mg/100 g). Linolenic (34 %), margaric acid (24 %) and oleic acid (16 %) were the notable fatty acids present in the raw seeds. The proximate and fatty acid composition of A. tenuissima were not significantly impacted by roasting. Acacia tenuissima flour had excellent foaming capacity, foaming stability and water solubility making it a potential functional ingredient in the baking industry. Anti-nutrients were present in the raw seeds but at low quantities (trypsin inhibitor activity: 0.22 TIU/g, saponin: 2.29 %) while the antioxidant activity was high at 94 % compared to other Acacia species. Only the water solubility and trypsin inhibitor activity of A. tenuissima decreased significantly after roasting. Roasting had no significant impact on the seed constituents and their properties except for water solubility, and trypsin inhibitor activity which decreased, making it an ideal ingredient to be used in baked products.

Impact of different processing techniques on the key volatile profile, sensory, and consumer acceptance of black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittadini). J Food Sci 2022; 87:4174-4187. [PMID: 35975798 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Fresh truffles which include black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittadini) deteriorate and lose aroma rapidly after harvest; therefore, postharvest processing via freeze-drying or encapsulation is an option to preserve truffle aroma for extended supply. However, the aroma profile that directly affects the truffle quality and consumer acceptance is influenced by processing and producers require processing options that balance processing feasibility with retention of a suitable aroma profile. This study aimed to determine the impact of freeze-drying and encapsulation on the profile of key volatiles, consumer discrimination, and overall sensory impression (aroma intensity, liking, and acceptability) of processed truffle products compared to the starting material (positive control). The study combined experimental-scale processing with GC-MS analysis and consumer sensory evaluation to compare and optimize postharvest processing options. Based on the results, some volatile changes were detected in the processed truffle products compared to the positive control which were aligned with the consumer discrimination (triangle test) and the aroma intensity score (consumer sensory test). Despite some chemical and sensory differences detected, the consumer panel did not have any preference for processed truffle products compared to the positive control. The overall finding indicates the potential value of processing truffles into a natural flavoring ingredient for food application via freeze-drying or encapsulation, which should be of great interest for the truffle and food industry. According to the correlation analysis, the consumer acceptance of a truffle product may be increased by retaining 1-octen-3-ol and methional, while reducing the amount of p-cresol in the product. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The postharvest process of turning truffles into a food flavoring ingredient may cause undesirable volatile changes that would directly impact the aroma quality and consumer acceptance of the processed truffle products. Hence, the impacts of freeze-drying and encapsulation on the chemical and sensory profile of truffles were evaluated in this study. Overall, the results of the concurrent instrument and sensory analysis demonstrated that both freeze-drying and encapsulation are potential options for processing.

Comparative evaluation of encapsulation using β-cyclodextrin versus freeze-drying for better retention and stabilizing of black Périgord truffle (Tuber melanosporum) aroma. J Food Sci 2022; 87:3482-3495. [PMID: 35788997 PMCID: PMC9541271 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a novel technique to retain and stabilize compounds contributing to truffle aroma by encapsulation using β-cyclodextrin. Two experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, the key volatile profile and microbial population of products resulting from three different encapsulation methods, namely direct mixing method (M1), direct mixing followed by ethanol addition method (M2), and paste method (M3), were compared with untreated truffles (positive control) over a 90-day period. The M2-derived product was the least optimal for retaining key volatile compounds despite showing the lowest microbial population. There was no significant difference in the volatile profile of products derived from M1 and M3 on day 0. However, it was observed that the M3-derived product could retain its volatile profile better than the M1-derived product by day 90. M3 was compared with freeze-drying in the second experiment. Freeze-dried truffles showed an overall higher relative percentage of volatiles than the M3-derived product on day 0. However, by day 90, some volatile changes occurred in the freeze-dried truffles but not in the M3-derived product. The findings indicate that while freeze-drying could adequately conserve truffle volatiles, the encapsulation of volatile compounds in β-cyclodextrin could improve the volatile stability of truffle products and allow for longer storage times. Microbes were found in all encapsulated truffle products and freeze-dried truffles on days 0 and 90, suggesting the need to explore the possibility of incorporating a decontamination step in the process prior to either encapsulation or freeze-drying. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: A technique to capture and stabilize compounds responsible for truffle aroma by encapsulation using β-cyclodextrin was developed and compared with freeze-drying in this study. The overall finding suggests that while freeze-drying of truffle could sufficiently preserve volatiles, encapsulating truffle volatiles with β-cyclodextrin may improve its stability, extending its shelf life, which can be applied in the development of a natural truffle ingredient that can be applied in food product development.

An in vitro study into the antimicrobial and cytotoxic effect of Acticoat™ dressings supplemented with chlorhexidine. Burns 2022; 48:941-951.

Abstract
Burn injuries can cause traumatic and debilitating physical trauma, with burn wounds prone to bacterial infection. This study examined in vitro the effectiveness of the silver nanoparticle based antimicrobial dressing, Acticoat™, in combination with a range of antimicrobial compounds against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and investigated potential cytotoxic effects in multi-layered differentiated keratinocyte models. Acticoat™ with chlorhexidine was found to be highly effective against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa across a 3 day incubation period on pig skin models. MTT assays and histological staining of keratinocyte models revealed Acticoat™ had a cytotoxic effect following initial contact with the cells and cytotoxicity was exacerbated when dressings were coated with chlorhexidine and antimicrobial peptide formulations. Spectrophotometric analysis suggested that the silver nanoparticles may mobilise from the dressing as nanoclusters or silver salts, which may relate to the observed cytotoxicity. The bacterial strains used in this study showed a substantial tolerance to Acticoat™ with biofilm-like communities observed on the dressing surfaces. This could be mitigated with chlorhexidine, albeit with an increase in cytotoxicity. The clinical significance of these findings in terms of infection control and wound healing remain to be determined; the potential benefit of bactericidal activity must be balanced against cytotoxicity, and the prevalence and potential transmission of the silver tolerant phenotype must also be assessed.

Abstract
High pressure processing is a non-thermal method for preservation of various foods while retaining nutritional value and can be utilized for the development of ready-to-eat products. This original research investigated the effects of high pressure processing for development of a ready-to eat chickpea product using Australian kabuli chickpeas. Three pressure levels (200, 400, and 600 MPA) and two treatment times (1 and 5 min) were selected to provide six distinct samples. When compared to the conventionally cooked chickpeas, high pressure processed chickpeas had a more desirable texture due to decrease in firmness, chewiness, and gumminess. The general nutrient composition and individual mineral content were not affected by high pressure processing, however, a significant increase in the slowly digestible starch from 50.53 to 60.92 g/100 g starch and a concomitant decrease in rapidly digestible starch (11.10-8.73 g/100 g starch) as well as resistant starch (50.53-30.35 g/100 g starch) content was observed. Increased starch digestibility due to high pressure processing was recorded, whereas in vitro protein digestibility was unaffected. Significant effects of high pressure processing on the polyphenol content and antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS and ORAC) were observed, with the sample treated at the highest pressure for the longest duration (600 MPa, 5 min) showing the lowest values. These findings suggest that high pressure processing could be utilized to produce a functional, ready to eat kabuli chickpea product with increased levels of beneficial slowly digestible starch.

Abstract
Truffles are considered one of the world's most highly prized foods mainly due to their desirable organoleptic properties and rarity. However, truffles are seasonal (harvested mostly in winter from June to August in the Southern Hemisphere and from December to February in the Northern Hemisphere) and extremely perishable. Truffles deteriorate rapidly showing undesirable changes within 10 days from harvest in aroma and visual appearance after harvest. The very short postharvest shelf life (about 7-10 days) limits the potential for export and domestic consumption all year round. Several preservation methods have been studied to prolong their shelf life without the loss of aroma. However, all traditional preservation techniques have their own shortcomings and remain challenging. The extraction of natural truffle aroma volatiles for food applications could be a potential alternative to replace the existing synthetic flavoring used for processed truffle products. Four commonly used extraction methods for recovering volatile compounds from plants, namely, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, Soxhlet extraction, distillation, and cold pressing, are critically analyzed. Up to date, existing research about the extraction of aroma volatiles from truffles is limited in the literature but based on the volatility of the key truffle volatile compounds, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction may offer the best possibility so that a natural truffle-based product that can be used in food applications throughout the year can be made available.

Abstract
Scientific advances in pathogen decontamination offer great potential to reduce Campylobacter spp. during primary processing. The aim of this study was to collate data from eligible studies using systematic review, meta-analysis followed by meta-regression. Random effect meta-analysis revealed heterogenous (τ2 = 0.6, I2 = 98 %) pooled reduction in Campylobacter concentration of 0.6 log10 CFU/carcass and a decrease in relative risk of Campylobacter spp. prevalence in broiler carcasses by 57.2 %. Decontamination interventions during Inside-Outside-Carcass-Wash were most effective on concentration (0.8 log10 CFU/carcass) while those during evisceration were most effective on prevalence (78.0 % decrease in relative risk). Physical decontamination was more effective on Campylobacter prevalence (68.7 % decrease in relative risk) compared chemical treatment (30.3 %). Application through immersion was superior on Campylobacter concentration (0.9 log10 CFU/carcass odds reduction) to spraying (0.5 log10 CFU/carcass odds reduction). Publication bias and small study effect were observed in trials on Campylobacter prevalence but not for concentration. The meta-regression revealed four and seven potential modifier variables for concentration and prevalence respectively. This meta-analysis provides an overview of the expected magnitude in Campylobacter spp. concentration and prevalence with application of decontamination interventions on broiler carcasses along the slaughter process and forms a basis of quantitative microbial risk assessment and derivation of intervention measures. Even though modest microbial concentration reduction is reported there was a large decrease in contamination prevalence during processing interventions.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Red meat is associated with Salmonella outbreaks, resulting in negative impacts for the processing industry. Little work has been reported on the use of dry heat as opposed to moist heat against Salmonella on red meat. We determined the effect of drying at 25°C and dry heat at 70°C with ∼10% relative humidity for 1 h against 11 Salmonella strains of multiple serovars on beef, lamb, and goat and rubber as an inert surface. Each strain at ∼108 CFU/mL was inoculated (100 μL) onto ±1 g (1 cm2) of each surface and allowed to attach for 15 min in a microcentrifuge tube. Samples were then exposed to 70 and 25°C with ∼10% relative humidity in a heating block. Surviving Salmonella numbers on surfaces were enumerated on a thin agar layer medium. If numbers were below the limit of detection (2.01 log CFU/cm2), Salmonella cells were enriched before plating to determine the presence of viable cells. Water loss (percent) from meat after at 25 and 70°C was determined. Whole genomes of Salmonella were interrogated to identify the presence-absence of stress response genes (n = 30) related to dry heat that may contribute to the survival of Salmonella. The survival of Salmonella at 25°C was significantly higher across all surfaces (∼6.09 to 7.91 log CFU/cm2) than at 70°C (∼3.66 to 6.33 log CFU/cm2). On rubber, numbers of Salmonella were less than the limit of detection at 70°C. Water loss at 70°C (∼17.72 to 19.89%) was significantly higher than at 25°C (∼2.98 to 4.11%). Salmonella cells were not detected on rubber, whereas survival occurred on all red meat at 70°C, suggesting its protective effect against the effect of heat. All Salmonella strains carried 30 stress response genes that likely contributed to survival. A multi-antibiotic-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium 2470 exhibited an increase in heat resistance at 70°C on beef and lamb compared with other strains. Our work shows that dry heat at 70°C for 1 h against Salmonella on red meat is not a practical approach for effectively reducing or eliminating them from red meat. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effect of chitosan or gum Arabic edible coatings, with natamycin (200, 300, 400 mg/L) on the aroma profiles of Western Australian grown truffles at five storage intervals: 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days using solid-phase microextraction (SPME)-followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The population structure of the bacterial community of both untreated and chitosan-natamycin (400 mg/L) coated truffles were assessed using metagenomic sequencing analysis alongside GC-MS. The results demonstrated that all the coating treatments were able to have a positive impact in halting or delaying the changes of truffle aroma throughout the storage period, with chitosan-natamycin (400 mg/L) coating having the best preservation results compared to the other coatings. Only 9 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were found to have significant changes in chitosan-natamycin (400 mg/L) coated truffles throughout the storage period compared to 11 VOCs in untreated controls. The result also demonstrated the gradual change of fresh truffle's bacteria communities over the storage period. Over 4 weeks of storage, the dominant bacterial classes of the truffles (α-Proteobacteria, Bacteroidia or Actinobacteria classes) were replaced by Bacteroidia, Actinobacteria, Deltaprotobacteria and γ-Proteobacteria classes. The preliminary results from this study show that edible coatings can affect the VOC and bacterial communities of the truffles which may have implications for future research into truffle preservation techniques.

Abstract
Psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species are the key spoilage bacteria of aerobically stored chilled meat. These organisms readily form biofilms on meat under refrigerated conditions leading to consumer rejection and associated economic losses. Limited information is available on the matrix composition of the biofilms formed by these bacteria. We quantified and characterized the main components of the matrix of mono-species biofilms of selected Pseudomonas fragi and Pseudomonas lundensis strains using chemical analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The biofilms were grown at 10 °C and 25 °C on nitro-cellulose membranes placed on surface sterilized beef cuts. Extra-cellular polymeric substances of the matrix were extracted in soluble and bound forms and were chemically assessed for total carbohydrates, proteins and extra-cellular DNA. Both Pseudomonas species showed a significant increase in total carbohydrates and total proteins when grown at 10 °C as compared to 25 °C. Extra-cellular DNA did not show a strong correlation with growth temperature. Raman spectra were obtained from planktonic bacteria and membrane grown biofilms at 10 °C and 25 °C. Higher levels of guanine were detected in planktonic cells as compared to biofilm cells. This study suggests that psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species may respond to cold stress by increasing extra-cellular polymer secretions.

Analysis of Bacterial Diversity in Relation to the Presence of the Top 7 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli throughout Australian Beef Abattoirs. J Food Prot 2020; 83:1812-1821.

Abstract
ABSTRACT There is increasing evidence that diversity changes in bacterial communities of beef cattle correlate to the presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). However, studies that found an association between STEC and bacterial diversity have been focused on preslaughter stages in the beef supply chain. This study was designed to test a hypothesis that there are no differences in bacterial diversity between samples with and those without the presence of the top 7 STEC (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, O145, and O157) throughout processing in an integrated (abattoir A) and a fragmented (abattoir B) Australian beef abattoir. Slaughter and boning room surface samples from each abattoir were analyzed using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and tested for the top 7 STEC following the Food Safety and Inspection Service protocol. Potential positives through slaughter were similar between the abattoirs (64 to 81%). However, abattoir B had substantially reduced potential positives in the boning room compared with abattoir A (abattoir A: 23 and 48%; abattoir B: 2 and 7%). Alpha diversity between the sample groups was not significantly different (P > 0.05) regardless of different STEC markers. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling of slaughter samples showed that the bacterial composition in fecal and hide samples shared the least similarity with the communities in carcass and environmental samples. Surface samples from slaughter (carcass and environmental) and boning (carcass, beef trim, and environmental) all appeared randomly plotted on the scale. This indicated that the STEC presence also did not have a significant effect (P > 0.05) on beta diversity. Although presence of STEC appeared to correlate with changes in diversity of fecal and hide bacterial communities in previous studies, it did not appear to have the same effect on other samples throughout processing.

Salmonella survival after exposure to heat in a model meat juice system. Food Microbiol 2020; 94:103628. [PMID: 33279093 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2020.103628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2019] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The effect of heat against eleven Salmonella strains in model meat juices was examined. Juices from beef, lamb and goat were made from either the fatty layer (FL), muscle (M) or a mixture of both (FLM). The pH of each FLM sample was altered to match the pH of PBS and vice versa to determine the pH effect on the survival of Salmonella against the effect of heat. Salmonella were exposed to either gradual heating to 70 °C in FLM, M and FL or heat shock at 70 °C for 5 min in FLM. Fat, fatty acid profile and iron content of the juices were determined. Gradual heat treatment significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced Salmonella as compared to the untreated controls (~1.92-7.61 log CFU ml-1) while heat shock significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced Salmonella as compared to the untreated controls (~5.80-7.36 log CFU ml-1). Survival of Salmonella was higher in lamb juices than other juices. The fat content in lamb FL (3.25%) was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than beef (1.30%) and goat FL (1.42%). Iron content in lamb FLM (~127 mg kg-1) was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lower than beef (~233 mg kg-1) and goat FLM (~210 mg kg-1). The omega 6 and linoleic acid content in goat FLM (~36.0% and ~34.4%) was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than beef (~29.1% and ~27.1%). Fat, fatty acids and iron may differentially protect Salmonella against the effect of heat in these juices.

Abstract
The application of bacterial cellulose (BC) as a wrapping material for vacuum-packaged beef was studied and compared against unwrapped beef for up to 3 weeks. The impact of BC wrap on the weight loss, purge accumulation, and drip loss were assessed along with low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, physicochemical, microbiological, and sensorial evaluations. The BC wrap significantly (P < 0.05) reduced purge accumulation in vacuum packages which was confirmed by an increased swelling ratio and scanning electron microscopy images. Colorimetric measurements showed significantly (P < 0.05) increased redness and yellowness values in wrapped samples compared to unwrapped samples. BC wrap did not affect pH, tenderness, and odor of meat, but significantly (P < 0.05) increased lipid oxidation, and numbers of lactic acid bacteria and Brochothrix thermosphacta counts. This study shows that BC wrap has potential as a purge absorbent in vacuum packaged meat. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Bacteria cellulose has good water holding capacity that can be utilized to absorb purge exudate from beef. It helps to improve the appearance and consequently consumer acceptance of vacuum packed beef.

Abstract
Understanding consumers' perceptions toward chicken meat safety and quality could provide valuable information to public health educators since it is the most consumed meat. This study explores perceptions of a group of South African consumers on the safety and quality of chicken meat based on intrinsic and extrinsic attributes and identifies related safety risks. Data were collected through a web-based survey (863 participants). A substantial proportion of consumers considered supermarkets as the most trusted outlets to sell safe and good quality chicken (compared with butcheries, wholesalers, farmers' markets, street vendors, or "other retailers"). The majority of respondents (53%) most trusted refrigerated chicken to be of good quality compared with 36% trusting frozen chicken or 11% chicken at room temperature. Frozen chicken was considered most safe by 48% of consumers while 43% regarded refrigerated chicken as most safe. At point of purchase and home, smell, use-by date, sell-by date, and color were perceived as important attributes when judging chicken safety and quality. Consumers considered the absence of brine use and growth-promoting hormones in chicken feed as relatively important. The majority of consumers can be classified as highly involved during purchasing. It is essential that consumers apply safe chicken handling practices from point of purchase to consumption, irrespective of the type of retailer, perceived sensory characteristics, and date labels to reduce or eliminate microbial risks. Addressing consumer's knowledge and expectations regarding factors such as growth-promoting hormones and free range may improve safety and quality perceptions. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study gives insight into perceptions of a group of South African consumers toward safety and quality of chicken meat. Understanding consumers' perceptions can provide valuable information to public health educators since chicken meat is a common vehicle for Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp., which are human pathogens. Additionally, this information can assist the chicken industry to meet consumer expectations.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of soaking temperature (25 and 80°
C) and different processing conditions on the rheological properties of chia seeds (Salvia
hispanica L.) mucilage. In this study, chia mucilage was first extracted using a ratio of
seed to water at 1:10 for 4 hrs for control (25°C) and treated mucilage (80°C). Both
extracted mucilage were evaluated in terms of yield, color, solubility, and water holding
capacity. Then, the mucilage were subjected to different processing conditions including
temperatures (5, 25, 45, and 65°C), pH (3, 5, 7, 9), sucrose concentrations (10, 20, 30,
40%), and salts (NaCl and KCl from 0 to 0.172 M; CaCl2 and MgCl2 from 0 to 0.049 M)
to determine their rheological properties. Results show that high extraction temperature
(80°C) significantly affected the mucilage yield higher than control. However, lightness
(L*), solubility and water holding capacity of the treated sample were lower compared to
control. Apparent viscosity of the 3% of mucilage for both extracts increases with
temperatures and sucrose concentration. The high apparent viscosity of the treated
mucilage at MgCl2 (0.049 M) and CaCl2 (0.049 M) concentration were found higher than
0.01 M. Meanwhile, NaCl (>0.069 M), KCl (>0.035 M), and CaCl2 (<0.03 M) had
decreased the apparent viscosity value of the control sample. Thus, the treated mucilage
could be suitable for application as a thickening agent in food.

Abstract
The chemical and anti-nutritional, antioxidative and anti-microbial properties of seeds from Acacia cyclops, Acacia microbotrya and Acacia victoriae(which are legumes) traditionally consumed by indigenous Western Australians were studied for the first time for their potential as commercial food components. A. microbotrya (2.7 CIU/g) (α < 0.05) had the highest α-chymotrypsin inhibitor activity, while A. victoriae (0.3 ± 0.03) had the highest trypsin inhibitor activity. Both A. microbotrya (0.2 ± 0.02) and A. victoriae (0.2 ± 0.08) had significantly higher oxalate content than A. cyclops. The anti-microbial properties of wattle seed extracts against the foodborne pathogens Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus were determined. A. cyclops demonstrated the greatest anti-microbial activity against all the microorganisms studied. A. microbotrya had significantly higher amounts of protein (27.2%), fat (3.4%), fibre (49.2 mg/100 g), iron (5.2 mg/100 g), potassium (1275.5 mg/100 g) and zinc (3.8 mg/100 g) than the other two Acacia species. A. victoriae had the highest DPPH equivalent antioxidant activity (37.1%). The wattle seeds studied are higher in protein, dietary fiber, zinc and potassium compared to some commonly consumed legumes such as lentils and chickpeas. Incorporation of wattle seed in to food may provide additional health benefits to consumers. Their ability to inhibit foodborne bacteria means they may have potential as a natural food additive.

A Comparison of 16S rRNA Profiles Through Slaughter in Australian Export Beef Abattoirs. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:2747.

Abstract
Microbial contamination of beef cattle carcases and subsequent cross-contamination during processing is inevitable and virtually impossible to prevent. The understanding of microbial contamination in the beef industry is currently limited to hypotheses based on traditional microbiological tools. Additionally, the complex structural and functional responses of beef cattle microbial communities to the fragmentation in the supply chain remain unknown. This study used 16S rRNA gene sequencing in combination with traditional microbiology to monitor and compare changes in the microbiota throughout slaughter in an integrated (abattoir A) and a fragmented (abattoir B) beef abattoir in Australia. Briefly, the primary difference between an integrated and a fragmented abattoir is that fragmented abattoirs receive cattle from multiple sources, whereas integrated abattoirs typically receive cattle that has been produced using the same production system and from a limited number of sources. The composition in the bacterial communities varied between the abattoirs, though the presence of the most predominant bacterial species within the microbiota at each abattoir was similar. Lactobacillales (2.4-56.2%) and Pseudomonadales (2.4-59.4%) most notably dominated hides, carcases, and the environment in abattoir B. In abattoir A, Bacteroidales (3.9-43.8%), Lactobacillales (0.0-61.9%), and Pseudomonadales (0.5-72.1%) fluctuated but generally shared the dominance over the rest. Combined results of total viable count (TVC) and 16S rRNA gene profiling indicated that an upward hide pulling system adopted by abattoir B may lead to increased transmission of hide contaminants to post-hide pull carcases. Abattoir B had 3.2 log10CFU/cm2 reduction from hide to carcase, where abattoir A had 4.5 log10CFU/cm2 reduction. The findings from this study indicated that common beef-associated microbiota exist in varying composition in Australian abattoirs, and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing is a powerful tool to understand in-depth movement of microbial contaminants.

Abstract
Psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species form biofilms on meat during refrigerated and temperature abuse conditions. Biofilm growth leads to slime formation on meat which is a key organoleptic degradation characteristic. Limited research has been undertaken characterising biofilms grown on meat during chilled aerobic storage. In this work, biofilms formed by two key meat spoilage organisms, Pseudomonas fragi and Pseudomonas lundensis were studied in situ using five strains from each species. Biofilm structures were studied using confocal microscope images, cellular arrangement, cell counts and biomass quantifications. This work demonstrated that highly dense, compact biofilms are a characteristic of P. fragi strains. P. lundensis formed biofilms with loosely arranged cells. The cells in P. fragi biofilm appear to be vertically oriented whereas this characteristic was absent in P. lundensis biofilms formed under identical conditions. Despite the continued access to nutrients, biofilms formed on meat by proteolytic Pseudomonas species dispersed after a population maximum was reached.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent public awareness campaigns on the risk of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic microbes has placed pressure on governments to enforce stricter antimicrobial stewardship policies on hospitals and the agricultural industry. In this study, faecal samples from Australian and Chinese children were screened for the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in order to identify demographics at risk of carriage of these genes and to examine antimicrobial stewardship policies from the two countries that may influence carriage. METHODS Faecal samples from 46 Australian and 53 Chinese children were screened by PCR for the presence of six clinically relevant ARGs. Clinical and demographic data were also collected from each patient. RESULTS More than 90% of faecal samples from Chinese children tested positive for β-lactam, macrolide, tetracycline and aminoglycoside resistance genes, which was substantially higher than Australian samples. Besides country of origin, no clear trend could be seen to predict carriage of ARGs. The exception to this was Chinese-born children who immigrated to Australia having higher rates of carriage of blaTEM and tetM genes than children born and still living in Australia. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that Chinese children are more likely to carry certain ARGs than Australian children. The Chinese government has recently implemented strict policies to control the overuse of antibiotics in hospitals. However, many of these policies do not extend to the agricultural industry, which could explain the differences seen in this study.

Abstract
Modern-day processing of meat products involves a series of complex procedures designed to ensure the quality and safety of the meat for consumers. As the size of abattoirs increases, the logistical problems associated with large-capacity animal processing can affect the sanitation of the facility and the meat products, potentially increasing transmission of infectious diseases. Additionally, spoilage of food from improper processing and storage increases the global economic and ecological burden of meat production. Advances in biomedical and materials science have allowed for the development of innovative new antibacterial technologies that have broad applications in the medical industry. Additionally, new approaches in tissue engineering and nondestructive cooling of biological specimens could significantly improve organ transplantation and tissue grafting. These same strategies may be even more effective in the preservation and protection of meat as animal carcasses are easier to manipulate and do not have the same stringent requirements of care as living patients. This review presents potential applications of emerging biomedical technologies in the food industry to improve meat safety and quality. Future research directions investigating these new technologies and their usefulness in the meat processing chain along with regulatory, logistical, and consumer perception issues will also be discussed.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of the cultivar and dehulling on calcium, iron, and zinc bioaccessibilities of Australian sweet lupin (ASL). Ten ASL cultivars grown in 2011, 2012, and 2013 in Western Australia were used for the study. The bioaccessibilities of calcium, iron, and zinc in whole seed and dehulled lupin samples were determined using a dialysability method. The cultivar had significant effects on calcium, iron, and zinc contents and their bioaccessibilities. Average bioaccessibilities of 6% for calcium, 17% for iron, and 9% for zinc were found for whole seeds. Dehulled ASL had average calcium, iron, and zinc bioaccessibilities of 11%, 21%, and 12%, respectively. Compared to some other pulses, ASL had better iron bioaccessibility and poorer calcium and zinc bioaccessibilities. Dehulling increased calcium bioaccessibilities of almost all lupin cultivars. The effect of dehulling on iron and zinc bioaccessibilities depends on the ASL cultivar.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are associated with a higher risk of developing heart conditions across all ethnic groups, variations exist between groups in the distribution and association of risk factors, and also risk levels. This study assessed the 10-year predicted risk in a multiethnic cohort of women and compared the differences in risk between Asian and Caucasian women. METHODS Information on demographics, medical conditions and treatment, smoking behavior, dietary behavior, and exercise patterns were collected. Physical measurements were also taken. The 10-year risk was calculated using the Framingham model, SCORE (Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation) risk chart for low risk and high risk regions, the general CVD, and simplified general CVD risk score models in 4,354 females aged 20-69 years with no heart disease, diabetes, or stroke at baseline from the third Australian Risk Factor Prevalence Study. Country of birth was used as a surrogate for ethnicity. Nonparametric statistics were used to compare risk levels between ethnic groups. RESULTS Asian women generally had lower risk of CVD when compared to Caucasian women. The 10-year predicted risk was, however, similar between Asian and Australian women, for some models. These findings were consistent with Australian CVD prevalence. CONCLUSION In summary, ethnicity needs to be incorporated into CVD risk assessment. Australian standards used to quantify risk and treat women could be applied to Asians in the interim. The SCORE risk chart for low-risk regions and Framingham risk score model for incidence are recommended. The inclusion of other relevant risk variables such as obesity, poor diet/nutrition, and low levels of physical activity may improve risk estimation.
