Understanding How Microorganisms Respond to Acid pH Is Central to Their Control and Successful Exploitation
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09-24)
Microbes from the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, share the need to sense and respond to changes in the external and internal concentrations of protons. When the proton concentration ...
Unravelling the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Protective Effect of Lactate on the High-Pressure Resistance of Listeria monocytogenes
(MDPI, 2021-04-30)
Formulations with lactate as an antimicrobial and high-pressure processing (HPP) as a lethal treatment are combined strategies used to control L. monocytogenes in cooked meat products. Previous studies ...
Maximum levels of cross-contamination for 24 antimicrobial active substances in non-target feed. Part 8: Pleuromutilins: tiamulin and valnemulin
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-26)
The specific concentrations of tiamulin and valnemulin 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 ...
The Antilisterial Effect of Latilactobacillus sakei CTC494 in Relation to Dry Fermented Sausage Ingredients and Temperature in Meat Simulation Media
(MDPI, 2024-06-20)
Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of listeriosis, is a relevant pathogen in dry fermented
sausages (DFSs), and the application of antilisterial starter cultures is an effective intervention
strategy ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Safe food for infants: An EU-China project to enhance the control of safety risks raised by microbial and chemical hazards all along the infant food chains
(Elsevier, 2022-05-02)
The EU-project SAFFI targets food for EU's 15 million and China's 45 million children under the age of three. It aims at developing an integrated approach to enhance the identification, assessment, ...
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 ...
Maximum levels of cross-contamination for 24 antimicrobial active substances in non-target feed. Part 2: Aminoglycosides/aminocyclitols: apramycin, paromomycin, neomycin and spectinomycin
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-10-26)
The specific concentrations of apramycin, paromomycin, neomycin and spectinomycin in non-target feed for food-producing animals, below which there would not be an effect on the emergence of, and/or ...
