Contamination of ready-to-eat foods, such as frankfurters, with Listeria monocytogenes, is a major concern that needs to be addressed in order to enhance the safety of these products. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of combinations of antimicrobials included in the formulation of frankfurters against L. monocytogenes inoculated (103 to 104 CFU/cm2) on their surface after peeling and before vacuum packaging. In addition, the antilisterial effect of immersing the packaged products, prepared with or without antimicrobials, in hot (75 or 80°C) water for 30 to 90 s was evaluated. Samples were stored at 4°C for up to 120 days and periodically analyzed for pH and for microbial growth on tryptic soy agar plus 0.6% yeast extract (TSAYE) and PALCAM agar. Sodium lactate (1.8%; 3% of a 60% commercial solution) used alone inhibited growth of L. monocytogenes for 35 to 50 days, whereas when used in combination with 0.25% sodium acetate, sodium diacetate, or glucono-δ-lactone (GDL), sodium lactate inhibited growth throughout storage (120 days). Immersing packaged frankfurters in hot water (80°C, 60 s) reduced inoculated populations of L. monocytogenes by 0.4 to 0.9 log CFU/cm2 and reduced its growth by 1.1 to 1.4 log CFU/cm2 at 50 to 70 days of storage in samples containing 1.8% sodium lactate alone. However, immersion of frankfurters containing no antimicrobials in hot water (75 or 80°C) did not inhibit growth of the pathogen for more than 10 to 20 days, unless one frankfurter was placed per bag and heat treated for 90 s. These results indicate that the inclusion of 1.8% sodium lactate with 0.25% sodium acetate, sodium diacetate, or GDL in cured meat formulations may control L. monocytogenes growth during refrigerated (4°C) storage. Additional studies are required to evaluate the effects of these combinations at abusive temperatures of storage, as well as on additional processed meat formulations and on the sensory quality and shelf life of products.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sodium lactate addition on shelf-life extension of sliced poultry sausage packaged both in air and nitrogen atmospheres and stored in refrigerated conditions. Basic chemical composition, pH, and malonaldehyde content were assayed and color measurement using the reflection method was carried out. Microbiological examination consisted of determination of total number of aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria and number of lactic acid bacteria. Sensory evaluation of products was performed. Microbiological and sensory quality of sliced poultry meat sausage was dependent on the addition during production of sodium lactate and the composition of gases (air or nitrogen) used in packaging. Slices of poultry sausage with 1% as well as 2% of sodium lactate maintained their initial quality of evaluated sensory attributes longer, irrespective of the applied gases. Sodium lactate inhibited growth of aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria during refrigerated storage. Sodium lactate also inhibited the formation of malonaldehyde in sliced poultry sausage during refrigerated storage. The effectiveness of this process depended on the concentration of sodium lactate addition. It was concluded that 1% as well as 2% addition of sodium lactate could extend the shelf life of sliced poultry sausage packaged in air atmosphere and stored at 5 to 7°C by 3 or 4 times, respectively. Sliced poultry sausage treated with 2% sodium lactate packed in nitrogen had the longest (35-day) shelf life. This was a sevenfold increase in the shelf life of sliced poultry sausage compared with the control.

Strawberry is a popular and nutritious fruit. However, its improper post-harvest handling leads to quality degradation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of active paper packaging placements methods on strawberry (<em>Fragaria x ananassa</em>) quality during refrigerated storage. Strawberry quality was determined based on the physical (weight loss, hardness, color), chemical (pH, total titratable acid, total soluble solids and vitamin C content) and microbiological (total plate count) properties. The results of this study indicated that different placement methods of active paper packaging had no significant effect on the physical and chemical qualities; but it did affect the microbiological quality of the strawberries. At the end of the experiment (12 days), the microbial content of C (the bottom and walls), D (covering all surfaces) and E (cut into pieces) samples were significantly lower than the A (without active paper packaging) and B (the bottom) samples. The Total Plate Count (TPC) values of the control and B samples were higher than the maximum acceptable limit of 6 log10 colony-forming units (CFU) g<sup>-1</sup>, while the other samples remained below the limit. These results indicated that a larger surface area of active paper that had contact with the strawberries provided better protection against microbes. Due to their microbial properties, C, D and E treatments maintained the strawberry quality for up to 12 days, compared with 9 days for control and B treatments. Active paper packaging containing oleoresin from solid waste of pressed <em>Curcuma xanthorrhiza</em> Roxb. can be applied to extend the shelf life of strawberries during refrigerated storage.

Pink Discoloration

A nonproteolytic, psychrotrophic Clostridium isolate, designated strain OMFRI1, was recovered from cook-in-bag turkey breasts (CIBTB) that displayed an intense pink discoloration and an off-odor following extended refrigerated storage. The viability of strain OMFRI1 in CIBTB containing sodium diacetate (at 0, 0.25, and 0.5%) and/or sodium lactate (at 0, 1.25, and 2.5%) was subsequently evaluated. Raw CIBTB batter was inoculated with 9 to 30 spores of strain OMFRI1 per g, vacuum packaged, cooked to an instantaneous internal temperature of 71.1°C, chilled, and incubated at 4°C for up to 22 weeks. In the absence of food-grade antimicrobial agents, spoilage (i.e., an off-odor) occurred within 6 weeks, and anaerobic plate counts reached 6.6 log10 CFU/g. The CIBTB containing sodium diacetate (0.25%) and that containing sodium lactate (1.25%) required 12 weeks for spoilage to occur and for anaerobic plate counts to reach 7.0 and 6.0 log10 CFU/g, respectively. When sodium diacetate (0.25%) and sodium lactate (1.25%) were used in combination, no off-odor was detected and anaerobic plate counts did not exceed 2.3 log10 CFU/g over 22 weeks of storage at 4°C. In related experiments, sodium diacetate (at 0, 0.25, and 0.5%), sodium lactate (at 0, 1.25, and 2.5%), and combinations of both ingredients were evaluated in uninoculated CIBTB incubated at 25°C for up to 22 days. In the absence of antimicrobial agents and in CIBTB containing sodium diacetate (0.5%), spoilage occurred within 8 days and anaerobic plate counts reached 6.8 and 6.6 log10 CFU/g, respectively. Samples of CIBTB containing sodium lactate (2.5%) showed signs of spoilage within 22 days, and anaerobic plate counts for these samples ranged from ≤1.0 to 6.3 log10 CFU/g. In CIBTB containing both sodium lactate (2.5%) and sodium diacetate (0.25%), spoilage was not evident and anaerobic plate counts were ≤1.0 log10 CFU/g within 22 days. These data validate the efficacy of sodium lactate and sodium diacetate in extending the shelf life of CIBTB.

Postprocessing contamination of cured meat products with Listeria monocytogenes during slicing and packaging is difficult to avoid, and thus, hurdles are needed to control growth of the pathogen during product storage. This study evaluated the influence of antimicrobials, included in frankfurter formulations, on L. monocytogenes populations during refrigerated (4°C) storage of product inoculated (103 to 104 CFU/cm2) after peeling of casings and before vacuum packaging. Frankfurters were prepared to contain (wt/wt) sodium lactate (3 or 6%, as pure substance of a liquid, 60% wt/wt, commercial product), sodium acetate (0.25 or 0.5%), or sodium diacetate (0.25 or 0.5%). L. monocytogenes populations (PALCAM agar and Trypticase soy agar plus 0.6% yeast extract [TSAYE]) exceeded 106 CFU/cm2 in inoculated controls at 20 days of storage. Sodium lactate at 6% and sodium diacetate at 0.5% were bacteriostatic, or even bactericidal, throughout storage (120 days). At 3%, sodium lactate prevented pathogen growth for at least 70 days, while, in decreasing order of effectiveness, sodium diacetate at 0.25% and sodium acetate at 0.5 and 0.25% inhibited growth for 20 to 50 days. Antimicrobials had no effect on product pH, except for sodium diacetate at 0.5%, which reduced the initial pH by approximately 0.4 U. These results indicate that concentrations of sodium acetate currently permitted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) (0.25%) or higher (0.5%) may control growth of L. monocytogenes for approximately 30 days, while currently permitted levels of sodium lactate (3%) and sodium diacetate (0.25%) may be inhibitory for 70 and 35 to 50 days, respectively. Moreover, levels of sodium lactate (6%) or sodium diacetate (0.5%) higher than those presently permitted by the USDA-FSIS may provide complete control at 4°C of growth (120 days) of L. monocytogenes introduced on the surface of frankfurters during product packaging.

The aim of the research was to evaluate selected microbiological features of apple juice available on the Tri-City market. The test material consisted of 30 samples of unpasteurized, one-day apple juices. In the research material coming from various commercial establishments, the total number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria and the number of filamentous fungi and yeast populations was determined. Microbiological tests were carried using the traditional plate method according to the current methodological standards, on the day of purchase and after 24 hours of refrigerated storage of the product. A higher number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria populations were characterized by apple juices produced for retail chains, both on the day of product purchase and after 24 hour storage in refrigeration conditions in relation to private brand juices.

In meat processing, powdered ingredients are preferred to liquids because of ease of handling, mixing, and storing. This study was conducted to assess Listeria monocytogenes inhibition and the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of frankfurters that were prepared with organic acid salts as spray-dried powders (sodium lactate–sodium acetate, sodium lactate–sodium acetate–sodium diacetate, and potassium acetate–potassium diacetate) or liquids (sodium lactate, sodium lactate–sodium diacetate, potassium lactate, and potassium lactate–sodium diacetate). Full-sodium (1.8% salt) and low-sodium (1.0% salt) frankfurters were prepared according to 10 and 5 different formulations (n = 3), respectively, and were dip inoculated with a six-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes (~4 log CFU/g). Populations of Listeria and mesophilic aerobic bacteria were quantified during storage at 4, 7, and 10°C for up to 90 days. Four powder and two liquid full-sodium formulations and one powder low-sodium formulation, all of which contained diacetate except for 1% sodium lactate–sodium acetate powder, completely inhibited Listeria growth at 4°C. However, Listeria grew in full-sodium formulations at 10°C and in low-sodium formulations at 7 and 10°C except for the formulation containing 0.8% potassium acetate–0.2% potassium diacetate powder. All formulations were similar in terms of water activity, cooking yield, moisture, and protein content. Sodium content and pH were affected by the concentrations of sodium and diacetate, respectively. Frankfurter appearance, texture, flavor, and overall acceptability were similar (P &gt; 0.05) regardless of the formulation, except for flavor and overall acceptability of the low-sodium formulation containing potassium acetate–potassium diacetate. Based on these findings, cosprayed powders appear to be a viable alternative to current liquid inhibitors for control of Listeria in processed meats.
