Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 15: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2021
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-27)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a generic pre-evaluation of the safety of biological agents. The QPS approach is based on an assessment of published data for ...
Risk management tool to define a corrective storage to enhance Salmonella inactivation in dry fermented sausages
(Elsevier, 2021-03-16)
The resistance of Salmonella to the harsh conditions occurring in shelf-stable dry fermented sausages (DFS) poses a food safety challenge for producers. The present study aimed to model the behaviour ...
Challenge Test in Catalan “Mató” Fresh Cheese to Assess the Antimicrobial Activity of Ericaria selaginoides Extracts against Bacillus cereus
(MDPI, 2023-02-09)
Growing consumer demand for high-quality products coupled with minimally processed products and a minor use of synthetic food additives have increased the need to search for new sources of natural ...
Inhibition of Biogenic Amines Formation in Fermented Foods by the Addition of Cava Lees
(Frontiers Media, 2022-01-28)
Food safety can be compromised by some bioactive compounds such as biogenic amines that can be specially found in fermented foods due to the bacterial decarboxylation of some amino acids by fermentative ...
Enterocin A-based antimicrobial film exerted strong antilisterial activity in sliced dry-cured ham immediately and after 6 months at 8 °C
(Elsevier, 2022-02-28)
To minimize the survival of Listeria monocytogenes on ready-to-eat (RTE)-products, active antimicrobial packaging based on polyvinyl alcohol films with Enterocin A or ethyl-lauroyl-arginate (LAE) have ...
Effect of pH and temperature on tropane alkaloids within a processing strategy to provide safe infant cereal-based food
(Elsevier, 2024-05-06)
Tropane alkaloids (TAs) are secondary metabolites from weeds that can contaminate cereals and vegetables during harvest. Due to their toxicity, the Regulation (EC) 2023/915 sets maximum levels for ...
High hydrostatic pressure enhances the formation of oleocanthal and oleacein in ‘Arbequina’ olive fruit
(Elsevier, 2023-10-30)
During olive oil production, the activity of endogenous enzymes plays a crucial role in determining the oil’s
phenolic composition. β-Glucosidase contributes to the formation of secoiridoids, while ...
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 ...
A new expanded modelling approach for investigating the bioprotective capacity of Latilactobacillus sakei CTC494 against Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat fish products
(Elsevier, 2021-06-18)
Understanding the role of food-related factors on the efficacy of protective cultures is essential to attain optimal results for developing biopreservation-based strategies. The aim of this work was to ...
Research objectives to fill knowledge gaps in African swine fever virus survival in the environment and carcasses, which could improve the control of African swine fever virus in wild boar populations
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-06-21)
The European Commission requested that EFSA provide study designs for the investigation of four research domains according to major gaps in knowledge identified by EFSA in a report published in 2019: ...
