Key Factors Determining the Behavior of Pathogens in Dry-Cured Ham after High Pressure Processing
(MDPI, 2022-12-12)
High pressure processing (HPP) inactivates pathogens and increases the safety of ready-to-eat meat products. The high-pressure lethality and the behavior of the surviving cells after HPP depends on ...
Modeling and designing a Listeria monocytogenes control strategy for dry-cured ham taking advantage of water activity and storage temperature
(Elsevier, 2020-03-21)
Dry-cured ham is a shelf-stable product that can be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes due to post-processing operations, compromising the compliance of zero tolerance policies (e.g. US Listeria ...
Update of the list of QPS-recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 16: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2022
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-07-25)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a regularly updated generic pre-evaluation of the safety of microorganisms, intended for use in the food or feed chains, to ...
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 ...
Influence of ultrasonic application on the enzymatic formation of zinc protoporphyrin
(Elsevier, 2023-02-03)
Ferrochelatase (FeCH), present in pork liver, catalyses the formation of zinc-protoporphyrin (ZnPP), a stable purple-red pigment found in Parma ham. Kinetics of ZnPP formation is especially slow. Thus, ...
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 ...
Potential BSE risk posed by the use of ruminant collagen and gelatine in feed for non‐ruminant farmed animals
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-10-28)
EFSA was requested to estimate the cattle bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk (C‐, L‐ and H‐BSE) posed by ruminant collagen and gelatine produced from raw material fit for human consumption, or ...
Pea protein ingredients: A mainstream ingredient to (re)formulate innovative foods and beverages
(Elsevier, 2021-02-25)
Backgroun: Pea (Pisum sativum) proteins are emerging as a popular alternative to those conventional (deriving from animal and soy) due to their high protein content with interesting functionality, ...
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 ...
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 ...
