The Gamma concept approach as a tool to predict fresh produce supporting or not the growth of L. monocytogenes
(Elsevier, 2024-04-27)
Challenge tests are commonly employed to evaluate the growth behavior of L. monocytogenes in food matrices;
they are known for being expensive and time-consuming. An alternative could be the use of ...
Modelling the interaction of the sakacin-producing Lactobacillus sakei CTC494 and Listeria monocytogenes in filleted gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) under modified atmosphere packaging at isothermal and non-isothermal conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-03-06)
The objective of this work was to quantitatively evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus sakei CTC494 (sakacin-producing bioprotective strain) against Listeria monocytogenes in fish juice and to apply and ...
High pressure processing to control Salmonella in raw pet food without compromising the freshness appearance: The impact of acidulation and frozen storage
(Elsevier, 2022-09-09)
The trend of feeding dogs and cats with raw pet food claiming health benefits poses health concerns due to the occurrence of pathogenic bacteria. High pressure processing (HPP) allows the non-thermal ...
Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 19: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2023
(Wiley Open Access, 2024-01-11)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a safety assessment approach for microorganisms intended for use in food or feed chains. The QPS approach is based on an ...
Maximum levels of cross-contamination for 24 antimicrobial active substances in non-target feed. Part 3: Amprolium
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-26)
The specific concentrations of amprolium in non-target feed for food-producing animals, below which there would not be an effect on the emergence of, and/or selection for, resistance in bacteria relevant ...
Microbiological safety of aged meat
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-01-19)
The impact of dry-ageing of beef and wet-ageing of beef, pork and lamb on microbiological hazards and spoilage bacteria was examined and current practices are described. As ‘standard fresh’ and wet-aged ...
Quantifying the bioprotective effect of Lactobacillus sakei CTC494 against Listeria monocytogenes on vacuum packaged hot-smoked sea bream
(Elsevier, 2020-09-30)
In this study, the bioprotective potential of Lactobacillus sakei CTC494 against Listeria monocytogenes CTC1034 was evaluated on vacuum packaged hot-smoked sea bream at 5 °C and dynamic temperatures ...
Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 13: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2020
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-01-28)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a regularly updated generic pre-evaluation of the safety of biological agents, intended for addition to food or feed, to support ...
Growth-Promoting Effect of Cava Lees on Lactic Acid Bacteria Strains: A Potential Revalorization Strategy of a Winery By-Product
(MDPI, 2021-07-15)
The growing trend of circular economy has prompted the design of novel strategies for the revalorization of food industry by-products. Cava lees, a winery by-product consisting of non-viable cells of ...
Challenges and opportunities related to the use of innovative modelling approaches and tools for microbiological food safety management
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)
Modelling in food microbiology has become an indispensable approach in food safety to generate predictions about the microbial behaviour. One of its weaknesses is the lack of reliable and relevant data ...
