abstract

salmonella is still one of the most important pathogens related with foodborne outbreaks.this study was designed to examine the combined effects of different levels of ph (7.4, 6.4, and 5.4), acids (acetic, citric and hydrochloric acid), temperatures (35 °c and 25 °c), and nacl concentrations (0.5, 3 and 6%, w/v), on growth of salmonella typhimurium in brain heart infusion broth. the experiment conducted in triplicate. growth was monitored by visible turbidity over a 30-day period.to evaluate the effects of explanatory variable on time to detect (ttd) the bacterial growth, parametric survival models based on the weibull distribution was used. according to our results, the growth of s.typhimurium was affected significantly (p<0.05) by selected parameters.ttd for combinations with acetic and citric acid was 6.97 and 1.30 times greater than hcl respectively. ttd for combinations with ph levels of 6.4 and 5.4 was 1.72 and 7.96 times greater than those with ph level of 7.4. this time with 3% and 6% nacl concentration was 1.38 and 1.82 times greater than with 0.5% nacl. furthermore, this period for combinations with incubation temperature of 25°c was 1.30 times greater than combinations with those by incubation temperature of 35°c.the final model showed that all explanatory variables had significant association with time of detection.

Growth limits of Staphylococcus aureus as a function of temperature, acetic acid, NaCl concentration, and inoculum level

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent causes of gastroenteritis worldwide. Knowing the precise boundary for the growth/no growth interface of S. aureus and also determining the period of time needed for bacterial growth initiation is necessary for food safety risk assessment. This study was designed to examine the combined effects of temperature, acetic acid, inoculum level and NaC...

Modeling of Salmonella typhimurium growth under the effects of Carum copticum essential oil, temperature, pH and inoculum size

The purpose of this study was to elucidate some factors affecting the growth of Salmonella typhimurium. These factors included Carum copticum essential oil (0%, 0.015%, 0.03% and 0.06%), temperature (25 ˚C and 35 ˚C), pH (5, 6 and 7) and inoculum size (103 and 105  CFU mL-1). Brain heart infusion broth was used as the growth medium. There...

Growth limits of Listeria monocytogenes as a function of temperature, pH, NaCl, and lactic acid.

Models describing the limits of growth of pathogens under multiple constraints will aid management of the safety of foods which are sporadically contaminated with pathogens and for which subsequent growth of the pathogen would significantly increase the risk of food-borne illness. We modeled the effects of temperature, water activity, pH, and lactic acid levels on the growth of two strains of L...

Rheological and Physicochemical Properties of Honeys as a Function of Temperature, Concentration and Moisture Content

In this study the rheological and physicochemical properties of four types of honeys, two poly floral (Mountain, Forest) and two mono floral (Sunflower, Ivy), were investigated. Rheological characteristics of honeys were evaluated at different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30ºC). All the honeys exhibited Newtonian behavior for shear rate in the range of 1.045-41.8 s-1. The viscosity of sampl...

Initiator (DnaA) protein concentration as a function of growth rate in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.

The DnaA protein concentration was determined in five different Escherichia coli strains and in Salmonella typhimurium LT2 growing at different growth rates. The DnaA protein concentration was found to be invariant over a wide range of growth rates in the four E. coli K-12 strains and in S. typhimurium. In E. coli B/r the DnaA protein concentration was generally higher than in the K-12 strains,...
