The effects of different humectants (sodium chloride, sucrose, and glycerol) on the growth of and compatible solute (glycine betaine, proline, and carnitine) uptake by the osmotolerant foodborne pathogen Staphylococcus aureus were investigated. While growth in the presence of the impermeant humectants sodium chloride and sucrose induced the accumulation of proline and glycine betaine by cells, growth in the presence of the permeant humectant glycerol did not. When compatible solutes were omitted from low-water-activity media, growth was very poor in the presence of impermeant humectants. In contrast, the addition of compatible solutes had essentially no effect on growth when cells were grown in low-water-activity media containing glycerol as the humectant. Carnitine was found to accumulate to high intracellular levels in osmotically stressed cells when proline and glycine betaine were absent, making it a potentially important compatible solute for this organism.

AbstractThis work investigated the effects of the food preservatives potassium sorbate and natamycin, combined with different levels of ionic (sodium chloride) and non-ioinic (glycerol) water activity (aw), on growth of fungi involved in cheese spoilage. In general, the combined effect of water stress and presence of preservatives enhanced fungal inhibition. However, some doses of potassium sorbate (0.02%) and natamycin (1, 5 and 10 ppm) were able to stimulate growth of Aspergillus varians, Mucor racemosus, Penicillium chrysogenum and P. roqueforti at awvalues in the range of 0.93–0.97. P. solitum was the only species whose growth was consistently reduced by any doses of preservative. The results also showed that sodium chloride and glycerol differentially affected the efficacy of preservatives. This study indicates that awof cheese is a critical parameter to be considered in the formulation of preservative coatings used against fungal spoilage.

The size effect of magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in CoCr2O4 has been investigated by comparing two samples with different crystal sizes. One is bulk CoCr2O4 sample (referred as A), and the other is a nanocrystalline CoCr2O4 sample (referred as B). It has been found that crystal size dramatically affects the magnetic properties and MCE for CoCr2O4, and that the nanocrystalline material is more favorable for application than the bulk material. The above results are explained in terms of the effect of small size and its distribution for sample B on the intrinsic magnetic properties and magnetic entropy change.

Abstract High-pressure processing (HPP) is well suited to combine consumer demand for meat products with minimal heat treatment without compromising product safety. In turn, herbs have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of hurdle technology combining microencapsulated horseradish root and leaf juice with HPP (300 MPa; 15 min) for extending of the raw pork meat shelf life. Water activity (aw), pH, colour, hardness, and micro-biological parameters of meat were evaluated during 21-day storage. Total plate count (TPC) in HPP treated samples was significantly smaller (p < 0.05) compared to untreated samples during storage until the day 14. On day 21, the TPC in processed samples was still slightly lower, however, at this point significance was not established between samples. Water activity dynamics in the HPP-treated microencapsulated pork meat samples differed significantly from other samples. Hardness decreased during storage, but no significant differences were found between samples. The L* values and pH of the meat were not significantly influenced by the added microencapsulated juice, but by high pressure treatment. Treatment with microencapsulated horseradish juice had a positive effect on the TPC and aw of the meat sample.

The growth responses of Staphylococcus aureus 2064 as affected by water activity and incubation temperature were studied in two different laboratory media. Growth parameters at temperatures from 7 to 51&deg;C and a<sub>w</sub> in the range from 1.0 to 0.86 were fitted using Ratkowsky models. The effect of temperature within its whole range on the specific growth rate was modelled by the extended model under the following equation: &radic;&micro; = 0.0456 (T &ndash; T<sub>min</sub>) [1 &ndash; e<sup>0.447(T &ndash; T<sub>max</sub>)</sup>]. The water activity values of tested media were adjusted by sodium chloride in the range from a<sub>w</sub> = 1.0 to 0.86 and experiments were conducted at 15 and 18&deg;C. The growth responses of S. aureus on water activity at 15&deg;C and 18&deg;C in PCA broth and BHI broth was described by simplified Ratkowsky model in the form: &radic;&micro; = b &times; a<sub>w</sub>. Validation of the found relationships confirmed sound fitting of the data and thus the referred results of the isolate originated from ewes&rsquo; cheese can be used in the growth prediction of S. aureus, reliably.
