Thermal inactivation of Byssochlamys nivea in pineapple juice combined with preliminary high pressure treatments

چکیده
Byssochlamys nivea is a thermal resistant filamentous fungi and potential micotoxin producer. Recent studies have verified the presence of ascospores of such microorganism in samples of pineapple nectars and juices. Although the majority of filamentous fungi have limited heat resistance and are easily destroyed by heat, Byssochlamys nivea ascospores have shown high thermal resistance. The aim of this work was to evaluate the application of linear and Weibull models on thermal inactivation (70, 80 and 90oC) of Byssochlamys nivea ascospores in pineapple juice after pretreatment with high pressure (550MPa or 650MPa during 15min). Following the treatments, survival curves were built up for each processing temperature and adjusted for both models. It was observed that the survival curves of B. nivea ascospores at 70°C after both previous treatment and at 80°C after 550MPa for 15 minutes fitted well in linear and Weibull models. In the others treatments, the Weibull model showed better fit. On 90oC ascospores inactivation (control), without previously high pressure treatment, the Weibull model also showed a better adjustment, presenting a larger R 2 and a smaller RMSE. In the others controls treatments (70 and 80oC without previously high pressure treatment), it was verified the activation of B. nivea ascospores, then it was not possible to adjust the models. Thus, a 5-log reduction (t5) treatment, as recommended by the Food and Drug Administration, on Byssochlamys nivea ascospores in pineapple juice was observed in this work at 90oC/15.38min with previously high pressure treatment of 650MPa for 15min.

متن کاملGrowth of Byssochlamys Nivea in Pineapple Juice Under the Effect of Water Activity and Ascospore Age
The study of thermal resistant mould, including Byssochlamys nivea, is of extreme importance since it has been associated with fruit and fruit products. The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of water activity (aw) and ascospore age (I) on the growth of Byssochlamys nivea in pineapple juice. Mold growth was carried out under different conditions of water activity (aw) (0.99, 0.96, 0.9...
متن کاملByssochlamys nivea with patulin-producing capability has an isoepoxydon dehydrogenase gene (idh) with sequence homology to Penicillium expansum and P. griseofulvum.
Nucleotide sequences of the isoepoxydon dehydrogenase gene (idh) for eight strains of Byssochlamys nivea were determined by constructing GenomeWalker libraries. A striking finding was that all eight strains of B. nivea examined had identical nucleotide sequences, including those of the two introns present. The length of intron 2 was nearly three times the size of introns in strains of Penicilli...

The influence of temperature and water activity (aw) on growth and patulin production by Byssochlamys nivea in apple syrups was determined over a 44-day incubation period. The minimum aw at which the mold was capable of growing was 0.915 and 0.886 at 21 and 30 degrees C, respectively. Growth at 37 degrees C was observed at 0.871 aw. Minimum aw values for patulin production were 0.978, 0.968, an...
