  10. Probiotics in Milk as Functional Food: Characterization and Nutraceutical Properties of Extracted Phenolics and Peptides from Fermented Skimmed Milk Inoculated with Royal Jelly

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • This study evaluated the biological properties of milk fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus with and without several amounts of royal jelly including: total viable count, pH, titratable acidity, antioxidant activity and inhibitory activities of angiotensin 1-converting enzyme (ACE), α-amylase, and growth of colorectal (SW480) and skin (MV3) cancer cell lines. The bound phenolic extract after acid hydrolysis had better biological properties.

  11. In Vitro Removal of T-2 Toxin by Yeasts

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Five yeast strains were tested for their ability to remove T-2 toxin from yeast extract peptone dextrose medium. The ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1221 (SC1221) was the strongest among five strains, and 36.50 ± 1.40% of T-2 toxin was removed after incubation at 30C for 96 h. The mode of removal was physical binding rather than biotransformation.

  12. Comparison of Oxygen- and Nitrogen-Enriched Atmospheres on the Growth of Listeria Monocytogenes Inoculated on Poultry Breast Fillets

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The growth behavior of Listeria monocytogenes in the presence of typical spoilage microorganisms on poultry breast fillets (Pseudomonas spp., Brochothrix thermosphacta, Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus spp., total viable count) was investigated.

  17. Autoregulation of ZEB2 expression for zearalenone production in Fusarium graminearum

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Several Fusarium species produce the polyketide mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEA), a causative agent of hyperestrogenic syndrome in animals that is often found in F. graminearum-infected cereals in temperate regions. The ZEA biosynthetic cluster genes PKS4, PKS13, ZEB1, and ZEB2 encode a reducing polyketide synthase, a nonreducing polyketide synthase, an isoamyl alcohol oxidase, and a transcription factor, respectively.

  18. A Novel Peptide-Binding Motifs Inference Approach to Understand Deoxynivalenol Molecular Toxicity

    • Toxins

    • Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a type B trichothecene mycotoxin that is commonly detected in cereals and grains world-wide. The low-tolerated levels of this mycotoxin, especially in mono-gastric animals, reflect its bio-potency.

  19. Rapid Identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens Using Raman Spectroscopy

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Rapid and accurate identification of Pseudomonas species, especially in drinking water, is of great importance for human health. In the present study, we aim to develop a fast and reliable verification method, which does not require intensive microbiological procedures.

  20. Phenotypic and Genotypic Virulence Factors and Antimicrobial Resistance of Motile Aeromonas spp. from Fish and Ground Beef

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Motile Aeromonas spp. were isolated from 49 (44.1%) of 111 meat samples (74 fish and 37 ground beef). In this study, 31 (27.9%) isolates were identified as Aeromonas caviae, nine (8.1%) as A. hydrophila and nine (8.1%) as A. veronii biovar sobria. We detected the phenotypic and genotypic virulence factors.

  21. Combined Effect of Bioactive Compounds and Storage Temperature on Sensory Quality and Safety of Minimally Processed Celery, Leek and Butternut Squash

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • In this work, the combined effect of bioactive compounds (tea tree essential oil, propolis extract and gallic acid) and storage temperature (15 and 5C) on microbiological and sensory quality of fresh-cut celery, leek and butternut squash was studied. It was confirmed that a good control of refrigeration temperature limits the growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms.

  24. Concentration and retention of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts by marine snails demonstrate a novel mechanism for transmission of terrestrial zoonotic pathogens in coastal ecosystems

    • Environmental Microbiology

    • The parasite Toxoplasma gondii is an environmentally persistent pathogen that can cause fatal disease in humans, terrestrial warm-blooded animals, and aquatic mammals. While an association between T. gondii exposure and prey specialization on marine snails was identified in threatened California sea otters, the ability of kelp-dwelling snails to transmit terrestrially derived pathogens has not been previously investigated.
