چکیده
Pathogens in low water activity foods are an important emerging food safety concern due to notable survival and thermotolerance. Limited but growing data publicly available compare the thermotolerance of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 (a surrogate). The aims this study were determine assess bacterial thermal inactivation rates two pathogens a well-established surrogate across three different low-moisture matrices containing levels fat using dry inoculation method. Three (0.11 aw, 45% peanut butter; 0.20 27% powder infant formula; 0.45 < 2% wheat flour) inoculated at room temperature (24.8 °C) with inoculum either E. faecium, spp. cocktail, or L. monocytogenes cocktail. Uniform bagged samples 9 treatments sandwiched copper plates heat-treated via immersion hot bath during isothermal ranging from 60 °C 90 °C. tests conducted triplicate. Bacterial was detected direct plating on tryptic soy agar 0.6% yeast extract. In butter most formula treatments, had significantly higher D-values than comparable temperatures (p 0.05). However, D65°C- D75°C-values between flour D85°C-values undifferentiated. each matrix singular exception observed which not statistically different. effect for bacteria reported descending order as > vast majority D-values. While is primary pathogen outbreaks, these results indicate can exhibit similar thermotolerances low-water including formula.

Safety of the surrogate microorganism Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 for use in thermal process validation.
Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 is a surrogate microorganism used in place of pathogens for validation of thermal processing technologies and systems. We evaluated the safety of strain NRRL B-2354 based on its genomic and functional characteristics. The genome of E. faecium NRRL B-2354 was sequenced and found to comprise a 2,635,572-bp chromosome and a 214,319-bp megaplasmid. A total of 2,639 ...

This study investigated the antimicrobial action of oleanolic acid against Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus faecalis. To determine the cytotoxicity of oleanolic acid, HEp-2 cells were incubated with oleanolic acid at 37°C. MICs (minimal inhibition concentrations) for L. monocytogenes, E. faecium, and E. faecalis were determined using two-fold microdilutions of olea...
