Microbiological quality of Minas Frescal cheese treated with ozonated water

چکیده
This work evaluated the microbiological and physicochemical quality of Minas Frescal cheese sanitized with ozonated water at concentration of 2 mg.L-1 for 1 or 2 minutes. No counts of Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus sp. and total and thermotolerants coliforms were found in the samples. Additionally, significant microbial reductions were observed for ozonated samples and the lowest counts were observed after 2 minutes of sanitation. The microbial reductions obtained at this process condition was 1.64, 1.91 and 2.14 log cycles for total aerobic mesophiles, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts and molds, respectively. Complementary, significant lower counts (p < 0.05) were observed for ozonated samples during their shelf-life. No significant changes (p > 0.05) were observed in physicochemical parameters of cheese after ozone sanitation. Therefore, the results highlighted the ozonation as a promising process to improve the cheese quality and stability.

Control of Listeria monocytogenes growth in soft cheeses by bacteriophage P100
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of bacteriophage P100 on strains of Listeria monocytogenes in artificially inoculated soft cheeses. A mix of L. monocytogenes 1/2a and Scott A was inoculated in Minas Frescal and Coalho cheeses (approximately 10(5) cfu/g) with the bacteriophage added thereafter (8.3 × 10(7) PFU/g). Samples were analyzed immediately, and then stored at 10 °C ...

A group of 291 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from mastitic cow's milk (n = 125), bulk tank milk (n = 96), and Minas frescal cheese (n = 70) were screened for staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes (sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, seh, sei, selj, and sell) and for the tst-1 gene encoding staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 by PCR assay. A total of 109 (37.5%) of the isolates were positive ...
متن کاملInhibition of Listeria monocytogenes in minas frescal cheese by free and nanovesicle-encapsulated nisin
The effectiveness of free and nanovesicle-encapsulated nisin to control Listeria monocytogenes in Minas Frescal cheese was investigated. Commercial nisin was encapsulated into liposomes of partially purified soy lecithin. Free (0.1 mg/mL and 0.25 mg/mL) and nanovesicle-encapsulated nisin (0.25 mg/mL) were applied onto the surface of cheese samples, and L. monocytogenes was inoculated before inc...
متن کاملAntimicrobial action of lactoferrin on Staphylococcus aureus inoculated in Minas frescal cheese.
The effect of the addition of lactoferrin on Staphylococcus aureus to Minas frescal cheese was evaluated. Three cheeses were made: control (S. aureus), Lf-2% (2% lactoferrin + S. aureus) and Lf-4% (4% lactoferrin + S. aureus). Cheeses were packaged and S. aureus populations were determined on days 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 of storage at 6 degrees C. The experiment was repeated three times. S. aureus ...
متن کاملPCR and ELISA (VIDAS ECO O157®) Escherichia coli O157:H7 identification in Minas Frescal cheese commercialized in Goiânia, GO
Escherichia coli O157:H7 has been incriminated in food poisoning outbreaks and sporadic cases of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in many countries. Considering the high susceptibility of Minas Frescal cheese to contamination by E. coli O157:H7, the aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of this pathogen through PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and ELISA (VIDAS ECO O1...
