Modeling the inactivation of Salmonella typhimurium by dense phase carbon dioxide in carrot juice.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The inactivation of Salmonella typhimurium inoculated into acidified carrot juice subjected to dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) was investigated. The pressures in the study were 10, 20 and 30 MPa, the temperatures were 32, 37 and 42 degrees C, and the treatment time was 5-90 min. The inactivation effect of DPCD was enhanced by increasing pressure and temperature. The sigmoid inactivation curves were characterized with the lag phase, exponential inactivation phase, and resistant phase. The inactivation curves were fitted to the modified Gompertz equation and the modified Logistic equation, the modified Gompertz equatio...

Mathematical modeling the cross-contamination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on the surface of ready-to-eat meat product while slicing.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The objectives of this study were to investigate and to model the surface cross-contamination of E. coli O157:H7 during slicing operation. A five-strain cocktail of E. coli O157:H7 was inoculated directly onto a slicer's round blade rim area at an initial level of ca. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 log CFU/blade (ca. 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 log CFU/cm(2) of the blade edge area), and then the RTE deli meat (ham) was sliced to a thickness of 1-2 mm. For another cross-contamination scenario, a clean blade was initially used to slice ham which was pre-surface-inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 (ca. 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 log CFU/100 cm(2) area), then, followe...

Acid tolerance in Salmonella typhimurium induced by culturing in the presence of organic acids at different growth temperatures.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The influence of growth temperature and acidification of the culture medium up to pH 4.25 with acetic, citric, lactic and hydrochloric acids on the growth and subsequent acid resistance at pH 3.0 of Salmonella typhimurium CECT 443 was studied. The minimum pH value which allowed for S. typhimurium growth within the temperature range of 25-37 degrees C was 4.5 when the pH was reduced using citric and hydrochloric acids, and 5.4 and 6.4 when lactic acid and acetic acid were used, respectively. At high (45 degrees C) or low (10 degrees C) temperatures, the growth pH boundary was increased about 1 pH unit. The growth temper...

Human cancer cell antiproliferative and antioxidant activities of Juglans regia L.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Several studies suggest that regular consumption of nuts, mostly walnuts, may have beneficial effects against oxidative stress mediated diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Walnuts contain several phenolic compounds which are thought to contribute to their biological properties. The present study reports the total phenolic contents and antioxidant properties of methanolic and petroleum ether extracts obtained from walnut (Juglans regia L) seed, green husk and leaf. The total phenolic contents were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the antioxidant activities assessed by the ability to quench th...

Mathematical modelling methodologies in predictive food microbiology: A SWOT analysis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Predictive microbiology is the area of food microbiology that attempts to forecast the quantitative evolution of microbial populations over time. This is achieved to a great extent through models that include the mechanisms governing population dynamics. Traditionally, the models used in predictive microbiology are whole-system continuous models that describe population dynamics by means of equations applied to extensive or averaged variables of the whole system. Many existing models can be classified by specific criteria. We can distinguish between survival and growth models by seeing whether they tackle mortality or ...

Fisher/Rex Sandwiches Recalls Sandwiches Because of Possible Health RiskEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Fisher/Rex Sandwiches of Raleigh, NC is recalling some of their sandwiches because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Food safety knowledge and attitude of consumers of various food service establishmentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In conclusion, various sources of information should be used to increase consumer awareness on food safety. In the present study, situational analysis was conducted to obtain data on food safety knowledge and attitude of consumers. Results indicated that although some of the consumers could identify the carriers for foodborne diseases, such as cholera, food poisoning and jaundice, most of them did not know about the carriers of typhoid, gastroenteritis and amebiosis. Thus, efforts should be made to educate consumers about the relation between food and diseases and the importance of making proper food choices for consumptio...
