Yellowfin tuna is one of the commercially important fish varieties, and inappropriate storing may deteriorate its safety and quality. This study aimed to investigate the microbial composition and quality characteristics of yellowfin tuna stored at different temperatures for varying amounts of time. With an increase in the storage temperature and storage time, the biogenic amines, the total volatile basic nitrogen TVB-N, and the total viable cell count steadily increased, which influenced the quality of tuna. The most significant histamine concerning food safety reached levels of 21.25, 235.05, 1166.18, and 3799.29 mg/kg, respectively. The values of total viable cell counts were increased to 7.04, 7.97, 8.24, and 8.91 log CFU/g after storage at 0, 4, 10, and 20 °C for 12 days, 7 days, 7 days, 3 days, respectively. Additionally, changes in microbial composition were evaluated by high-throughput sequencing, and the results showed that Pseudomonas was the dominant spoilage bacteria in yellowfin tuna. The bacterial dynamics and their correlation with biogenic amines and TVB-N in yellowfin tuna were analyzed. A positive correlation between Pseudomonas, Shewanella, Morganella, Acinetobacter, and biogenic amines was found. Pseudomonas showed significant correlation with histamine, cadaverine, and putrescine. This study provides insights into yellowfin tuna quality and microbial composition, which provide theoretical guidance for maintaining seafood safety and quality during distribution and storage.

The objective of this research was to determine physicochemical changes and microbiological quality of the different packaged meatball samples. Meatball samples in polystyrene tray were closed with polyethylene film (PS packs), vacuumed and modified atmosphere packaged, (MAP) (65% N2, 35% CO2), and held under refrigerated display (4 °C) for 8, 16 and 16 days for PS packs, vacuum and MAP, respectively. Microbial load, free fatty acids and thiobarbituric acid values of the samples tended to increase with storage time. Bacteria counts of the raw meatball samples increased 2 log cycles at the end of storage compared with initial values. Meatball samples can be stored without any microbiological problem for 7 days at 4 °C. Results from this study suggested that shelf-life assigned to modified-MAP and vacuum-packed meatballs may be appropriate. Meatball samples underwent physical deformation when they were packed before vacuum process. With these negative factors considered, MAP is superior to other two packs methods.

The effect of the hygienic status of raw materials on biogenic amine production during ripening and storage (at 4 and 15°C) of fermented sausages was studied. Two portions of fresh lean and back fat pork were stored for 5 days at −20°C (treatment A) and at 4°C (treatment B), respectively. Raw materials of treatment A maintained their hygienic quality high and low amine content. Raw materials of treatment B showed from 1 to 3 log (CFU/g) higher microbial counts and a biogenic amine index near 50 mg/kg, indicating poorer hygienic quality. The quality of raw materials influenced the composition and the concentration of biogenic amines produced during the ripening sausages. Sausages of treatment A (A-sausages) showed a large accumulation of tyramine (up to 100 mg/kg dm) followed by putrescine and cadaverine (<15 mg/kg). In contrast, B-sausages resulted in earlier and much greater amine production, and cadaverine, tyramine, and putrescine levels were 50-, 2.6-, and 6.5-fold higher than those of A-sausages. Other biogenic amines, such as octopamine, tryptamine, phenylethylamine, and histamine were also produced in B-sausages. The higher proteolysis and the lower pH of B-sausages might have favored the decarboxylase activity of microorganisms. Biogenic amine contents of sausages during storage depended on the raw materials used and storage temperature. No significant modification on the amine contents was observed during the storage of A-sausages at either temperature. Greater changes occurred in B-sausages stored at 15°C than in those stored at 4°C. Higher temperatures favored proteolytic and decarboxylase reactions, resulting in increased amine concentrations after storage.

Sirloin butts from beef carcasses chilled to 1 or 7.2 C were vacuum packaged and stored at either 0 or 5.5 C for intervals of 7, 14, 21, 28, or 35 days. Following storage, steaks were obtained for retail caselife studies and taste panel evaluations. Evaluation of primal cuts revealed significant differences in total desirability (primarily visual appearance) among storage intervals and between storage temperatures. Initial carcass temperature at fabrication influenced quality of cuts less than did storage temperature over extended storage intervals. Storage of vacuum packaged cuts at 0 C consistently enhanced shelf-life compared to storage at 5.5 C.

This study examined and modeled the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes in ham salad and potato salad as affected by the pH of mayonnaise and storage temperature. An eight-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes was inoculated on the surface of diced cooked ham or potato. The inoculated ham or potato was then mixed with regular mayonnaise (pH 3.8) or mayonnaise that was adjusted with NaOH to pH 4.2 or 4.6. The cell counts of L. monocytogenes in the salads during storage at 4, 8, or 12°C were enumerated and used to model the behavior of L. monocytogenes in ham salad or potato salad. At each of the storage temperatures, L. monocytogenes was able to grow in ham salad, whereas L. monocytogenes was inactivated in potato salad. The growth rate (log CFU per hour) in ham salad or the inactivation rate (log CFU per hour) in potato salad increased as the storage temperature increased. The duration before growth in ham salad or inactivation in potato salad increased as storage temperature decreased. The mayonnaise pH showed no consistent effect on the growth rate or inactivation rate and duration before growth or inactivation occurred. Mathematical equations that described the growth rate or inactivation rate of L. monocytogenes in both salads as a function of mayonnaise pH and storage temperature were generated and shown to be satisfactory in describing the growth rate or inactivation rate of L. monocytogenes in the ham salad or potato salad.

The objective of this work was to compare the effects of four different concentrations of cassava starch film and storage temperature on shelf life and the quality of a genotype of acerola from the Germplasm Active Bank (GAB) of Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Brazil. Sound orange-reddish acerola fruits were washed with a chlorine solution (100 mg.L-1 active chlorine) and randomly distributed into different lots. The fruits were dipped for 3 min in a cassava starch suspension with concentrations of 1, 2, 3 and 4% (w/v) and the control without coating, stored at 10ºC (85% RH) and 22ºC (85% RH). The total soluble solids (TSS), pH, titratable acidity (TA) and ascorbic acid (AA) were determined at harvest and regular interval during storage. The use of cassava biofilm at 1% on acerola fruits maintained the highest ascorbic acid content and the temperature of 10ºC extended storage life. The fruits coated with 1 and 2% biofilm could be stored for a period up to 15 days at 10ºC, with acceptable quality characteristics.
