  16. Patulin biodegradation and quality improvement of apple puree fermented with Byssochlamys nivea FF1-2

    • Food Bioscience

    • This study investigated the effects of FF1-2 on the quality of apple puree during the process of patulin degradation. Apple puree artificially contaminated with high-dose patulin (125, 250 and 500μg/mL) was fermented by FF1-2 for 10 days, and over 97% of patulin was degraded in the apple purees after fermentation, and the maximal degradation of patulin was 98.5%.

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      Molecular subtyping is commonly used in foodborne disease surveillance and microbial source tracking. There is a knowledge gap regarding the molecular ecology of foodborne pathogens in non-food associated environments. The objective of this study was to isolate and subtype foodborne pathogens from pristine natural environments with minimal anthropogenic inputs.
