Polyphenols are important bioactive compounds that are affected by processing. The consumer’s demand for minimally processed products contributes to the increase in non-thermal technologies such as high-pressure processing (HPP) in the food industry. This review is aimed at critically discussing the positive and negative effects of thermal treatment (TT) and HPP on the stability of different polyphenol families in agro-food products obtained from strawberry and apple, two of the most used fruits in food processing. Our findings show that the phenolic content was affected by processing, fruit type, polyphenol family, and storage conditions (time and temperature) of the final product. To increase shelf life, manufacturers aiming to preserve the natural content of polyphenols need to find the sweet spot between polyphenol stability and product shelf-life since the residual enzyme activity from HPP can affect polyphenols negatively.

Abstract High pressure processing (HPP) has become a mainstream technology for modern age food processing. HPP conditions are detrimental to inherent microbial flora, including food pathogens. A probiotic intended for supplementation in a high-pressured processed food should therefore be stable to processing and subsequent storage conditions. The present study reports the viability of Bacillus coagulans LBSC [DSM 17654] spores at high hydrostatic pressures (HHP, 450 and 550 MPa) processing. B. coagulans LBSC spores were viable under both pressure condition at pH 2.60, 5.00, 7.00, and 8.25. Similar HPP conditions completely inactivated a reference strain Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. The HPP treated B. coagulans LBSC spore preparation showed no reduction in the viability on room temperature storage for a duration of six months. Results demonstrated the resilience of probiotic B. coagulans LBSC spores under HPP treatment, suggesting its potential incorporation in a range of functional foods and beverages.

ABSTRACT In recent years, reoccurring Campylobacter-mediated outbreaks of human disease have been linked to undercooked chicken livers. A need exists for interventions to significantly reduce Campylobacter in this widely consumed poultry product. In this study, high pressure processing (HPP) techniques were applied to laboratory-contaminated chicken livers (∼4 × 108 cells per liver) to determine the Campylobacter jejuni–reducing potential of this technology. HPP was able to significantly reduce C. jejuni numbers in chicken livers with the application of 350 MPa for 5 min, resulting in an average reduction of 3.4 log. Unfortunately, when chicken livers were processed in this manner, the surface tissue of the livers turned brown and a fine white foam was produced. A more modest pressure of 250 MPa applied for 10 min resulted in an average reduction in cell numbers of 1.3 log but without an obvious color change in the livers. On average, cold storage conditions (4 and −20°C) were able to produce a 0.2- to 1.3-log reduction, depending on the temperature and storage time. This effect combined with an HPP reduction in an additive fashion. Pulsed HPP techniques failed to produce C. jejuni reductions that exceeded the average reductions compared with constant pressure application using similar time intervals. Hence, HPP is a potential means of reducing C. jejuni numbers in chicken livers, but given its effects on the appearance of the food product at higher pressure levels, it will most likely need to be combined with other intervention techniques.

High-pressure processing (HPP) has emerged over the last 2 decades as a good alternative to traditional thermal treatment for food safety and shelf-life extension, supplying foods with similar characteristics to those of fresh products. Currently, HPP has also been proposed as a useful tool to reduce food contaminants, such as pesticides and mycotoxins. The aim of the present study is to explore the effect of HPP technology at 600 MPa during 5 min at room temperature on alternariol (AOH) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) mycotoxins reduction in different juice models. The effect of HPP has also been compared with a thermal treatment performed at 90 °C during 21 s. For this, different juice models, orange juice/milk beverage, strawberry juice/milk beverage and grape juice, were prepared and spiked individually with AOH and AFB1 at a concentration of 100 µg/L. After HPP and thermal treatments, mycotoxins were extracted from treated samples and controls by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) and determined by HPLC-MS/MS-IT. The results obtained revealed reduction percentages up to 24% for AFB1 and 37% for AOH. Comparing between different juice models, significant differences were observed for AFB1 residues in orange juice/milk versus strawberry juice/milk beverages after HPP treatment. Moreover, HPP resulted as more effective than thermal treatment, being an effective tool to incorporate to food industry in order to reach mycotoxins reductions.

Nowadays, thermal treatments are used for extending the shelf-life of vegetable and fruit products by inactivating microorganisms and enzymes. On the other hand, heat treatments often induce undesirable changes in the quality of the final product, e.g., losses of nutrients, color alterations, changes in flavor, and smell. Therefore, the food industry is opening up to new technologies that are less aggressive than thermal treatment to avoid the negative effects of thermal pasteurization. Non-thermal processing technologies have been developed during the last decades as an alternative to thermal food preservation. Processing changes the structure of fruit and vegetables, and hence the bioavailability of the nutrients contained in them. In this review, special attention has been devoted to the effects of modern technologies of fruit and vegetable processing, such as minimal processing (MPFV), high-pressure processing (HPP), high-pressure homogenization (HPH), ultrasounds (US), pulsed electric fields (PEF), on the stability and bioavailability of vitamin C.

Formulations with lactate as an antimicrobial and high-pressure processing (HPP) as a lethal treatment are combined strategies used to control L. monocytogenes in cooked meat products. Previous studies have shown that when HPP is applied in products with lactate, the inactivation of L. monocytogenes is lower than that without lactate. The purpose of the present work was to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the piezo-protection effect of lactate. Two L. monocytogenes strains (CTC1034 and EGDe) were independently inoculated in a cooked ham model medium without and with 2.8% potassium lactate. Samples were pressurized at 400 MPa for 10 min at 10 °C. Samples were subjected to RNA extraction, and a shotgun transcriptome sequencing was performed. The short exposure of L. monocytogenes cells to lactate through its inoculation in a cooked ham model with lactate 1h before HPP promoted a shift in the pathogen’s central metabolism, favoring the metabolism of propanediol and ethanolamine together with the synthesis of the B12 cofactor. Moreover, the results suggest an activated methyl cycle that would promote modifications in membrane properties resulting in an enhanced resistance of the pathogen to HPP. This study provides insights on the mechanisms developed by L. monocytogenes in response to lactate and/or HPP and sheds light on the understanding of the piezo-protective effect of lactate.
