The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of different EOs against Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., and coagulase-positive staphylococcus isolated from ground beef. The EOs had values varying from 0.78μl/mL to 100μl/mL, and the essential oil of Citrus lemon did not present any bacterial activity against the studied strains. For E. coli, the essential oil of Cinnamomum zeylanicum presented the best inhibitory activity (MIC = 0.78μl/mL to 1.56μl/mL). In Salmonella spp., the EOs of Cymbopogon citratus (MIC = 12.5μl/mL and 25.0μl/mL), C. zeylanicum (MIC = 25.0 µL/mL) and Ocimum basilicum (MIC = 6.25μl/mL, 12.5μl/mL and 50.0μl/mL) exhibited similar results. The EOs of C. zeylanicum and Eugenia caryophyllata demonstrated the lowest average values of study against coagulase-positive Staphylococcus (MIC = 3.12μl/mL, 6.25μl/mL and 12.5μl/mL). With the data obtained in the study, it can be observed the potential of EOs in the control of pathogenic food microorganisms, as well as validate future researches on the proprieties and active compounds of these products, besides the toxicity of these compounds and the possible alterations that can be caused on the food.

ABSTRACT Salmonella contamination of ground beef has been viewed as originating from the surface of carcasses. Recent studies have identified lymph nodes as a potential source of Salmonella contamination because these tissues play an active role in containment of pathogens in the live animal and because some lymph nodes are unavoidably present in manufacturing beef trimmings or primal cuts that may be incorporated into ground beef. A survey was conducted of the microbiological status of lymph nodes from Australian cattle at the time of slaughter to determine the prevalence of microbiological contamination. Sets of lymph nodes (n = 197), consisting of the superficial cervical (prescapular), prepectoral, axillary, presternal, popliteal, ischiatic, subiliac (precrural), coxalis, and iliofemoralis (deep inguinal), were collected from five geographically separated Australian abattoirs over a period of 14 months. Samples were tested for the presence of Salmonella spp. and Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli by BAX PCR assay. Aerobic plate count, E. coli, and coliforms were enumerated with a lower limit of detection of 80 CFU per node. The observed prevalence of Salmonella within peripheral lymph nodes was 0.48% (7 of 1,464). Two of the seven lymph nodes in which Salmonella organisms were detected came from the same animal. Grass-fed, grain-fed, and cull dairy cattle were all found to have detectable Salmonella in lymph nodes. All Salmonella detections occurred during cooler months of the year. No Shiga toxin–producing E. coli were detected. Aerobic microorganisms were detected above the limit of quantification in 3.2% of nodes (median count 2.24 log per node), and E. coli was detected in 0.8% of nodes (median count 3.05 log per node). The low prevalence of Salmonella and low concentration of aerobic microorganisms in Salmonella-positive lymph nodes of Australian cattle at the time of slaughter suggest that the likelihood of lymph nodes contributing significantly to the presence of Salmonella in ground beef is low.

  Background and Objectives: In recent years, active packaging has been introduced as a new method to better preserve food. Chitosan and nanoclay have been used for preparation of an active nanocomposite with respect to their antimicrobial properties to investigate its effects on the microbial limitation in Gouda cheese. Materials and Methods: Nanoclay film, chitosan film, chitosan-based nanocomposites and nanoclay-based nanocompos- ites were prepared and their antimicrobial properties were evaluated to the microbial limitations of Gouda cheese con- sist of coliforms, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., coagulase-positive Staphylococcus, mold and yeast by agar diffusion method. Results: The results indicated, the best antimicrobial effect belonged to nanocomposite film with the composition of chitosan 3 wt% by adding nanoclay 1 wt%, which can prevent microbial characteristics of Gouda cheese. Conclusion: The chitosan and nanoclay nanocomposite had excellent antibacterial activity and performed well against microbial limitations (coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella spp., coagulase-positive Staphylococcus, mold and yeast) of Gouda cheese. Therefore, the nanocomposite may be possibly used as a surface coating in addition to Gouda cheese as well as sim- ilar cheeses and other food to enhance microbial characteristics and extend shelf life.

Os óleos essenciais são produtos do metabolismo secundário de plantas e são conhecidos por possuir diferentes propriedades biológicas, incluindo atividades antimicrobianas, podendo agir como antibacteriano, antifúngico e antiviral. Objetivou-se nesta pesquisa avaliar a atividade antibacteriana de óleos essenciais sobre cepas de Escherichia coli e Pseudomonas aeruginosa isoladas de alimentos. Foram utilizados os óleos de Eucalyptus globolus (eucalipto comum), Prunus amygdalus (amêndoa), Cymbopongon nardus (citronela), Rosmarinus officinalis (alecrim), Cinnamomum zeylanicum (caneleira), Cymbopogon citratus (capim limão), Citrus limon (limão), Caryophyllus aromaticus (cravo). Foram utilizadas dez linhagens de E. coli e dez de P. aeuriginosa. Para determinação da Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) dos óleos essenciais foi utilizado o método de microdiluição em placas de 96 poços. As concentrações bactericidas mínimas (CBM) foram determinadas a partir dos resultados da CIM. Designou-se como CBM a concentração mínima em que não ocorreu crescimento bacteriano. Verificou-se  que todos os óleos essenciais apresentaram atividade antibacteriana, no entanto os óleos de E. gobulus e R. officinalis foram mais ativos frente a E. coli (CBM=3,13%), e menos eficazes frente a P. aeruginosa (CBM=25%), enquanto que o de C. nardus apresentou atividade biológica frente a P. aeruginosa na concentração de 6,25%. A atividade antimicrobiana dos óleos essenciais testados aponta a possibilidade de desenvolver agentes antimicrobianos eficientes e de baixo custo no controle de E. coli e P. aeruginosa.  Palavras-chave: Escherichia coli.  Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Patógenos alimentares resistentes a antimicrobianos são uma preocupação de saúde pública ao redor do mundo. A resistência a antibióticos está sendo cada vez mais comum entre cepas isoladas de alimentos, assim, alternativas aos antibióticos estão sendo propostas. Óleos essenciais vêm sendo estudados para a aplicação na indústria de alimentos por possuírem atividade antimicrobiana e antioxidante. Desse modo, este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar o perfil de resistência antimicrobiana de Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus e Escherichia coli isolados de frangos empregando diferentes antibióticos e os óleos essenciais de alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis), capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus) e pimenta preta (Piper nigrum). Métodos convencionais de microbiologia foram utilizados para a obtenção dos isolados bacterianos, método de disco-difusão foi empregado para identificar a resistência a antibióticos, ensaios de microplaca de resazurina foram realizados para identificar a concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) de óleos essenciais, e então a concentração bactericida mínima (CBM) foi estabelecida a partir da CIM desenvolvendo a técnica da micro-gota. Frequência, média, desvio-padrão, análise de variância e teste de Tukey foram calculados para a análise dos resultados. Destacam-se entre os resultados obtidos a frequência de carcaças de frangos contaminadas por Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus e Salmonella spp., 70%, 40%, e 25%, respectivamente, sendo que a resistência dos isolados a um ou mais antibióticos foi detectada em 90,9%, 66,6% e 55,6% dos isolados de E. coli, Salmonella spp. e S. aureus, respectivamente. Em adição, a multiresistência foi amplamente identificada. Quanto aos resultados obtidos para as análises de Concentração Inibitória Mínima dos óleos essenciais analisados, foi possível observar um melhor desempenho dos óleos essenciais de alecrim e capim limão, respectivamente, contudo sem diferença significativa entre as amostras. Os resultados reforçam a preocupação com a disseminação de cepas resistentes a antimicrobianos e a necessidade do desenvolvimento ou melhoramento de alternativas ao uso de antibióticos.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sanitary quality of smoked fish by determining their mycotoxin content, and also the chemical composition, antifungal activity of Cymbopogon citratus and Ocimum basilicum essential oils from Cameroon against some mycotoxigenic fungal strains responsible of the smoked fish biodegradation. Place and Duration of Study: Laboratory of Food Microbiology and Biotechnology, National School of Agro-Industrial Sciences, University of Ngaoundere, Cameroon, from August 2019 to April 2020. Methodology: Fifteen samples of smoked fishes have been collected in August 2019 from “petit marché” market (Ngaoundere, Cameroon). Physico-chemical parameters of smoked fishes were evaluated. Mycotoxin (AFB1, CIT, and OTA) contents have been determined with HPLC. Isolation and identification of molds were done using their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, and the identity of the strains was done by PCR sequencing methods. For plants, 15 kg of Cymbopogon citratus leaves and 5 kg of Ocimum basilicum leaves have been harvested on 10 September 2019 in Ngaoundere and used for the essential oil’s extraction. Essential oil extraction has been done through hydrodistillation and the determination of its chemical composition done with GC/MS. Results: Major part of samples contains at least one mycotoxin, in quantities which are beyond the safe dose. Eleven species of molds have been identified: Aspergillus spp., Penicillium citrinum, and Mucor hiemalis. Amongst the isolated species, those which can produce mycotoxins are: Penicillium citrinum, Aspergillus versicolor, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus carbonarius, Aspergillus niger, and Fusarium moniliforme. Geranial (42.4%), Neral (33.5%) and Myrcene (10.8%) are major compounds found in the essential oil of C. citratus while monoterpens (60.8%), Eugenol (30.7%), Linalol (29.4%) and 1,8-Cineol (14.3%) are the major compounds found in the essential oil of O. basilicum.  Conclusion: Essential oils of C. citratus and O. basilicum are efficient against isolated toxigenic species. C. citratus being more efficient than O. basilicum.

SUMMARY The antibacterial effect of microencapsulated lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil on strains of Escherichia coli (ATCC8739), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (ATCC 6017), and the stability of this oil in feeds for broiler chickens were evaluated. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined by the macrodilution method, using the microencapsulated lemon grass essential oil at concentrations of 160 μL mL−1, 80 μL mL−1, 40 μL mL−1, 20 μL mL−1, and 10 μL mL−1. The oil concentration of 80 μL mL−1 presented the best results against the three bacteria evaluated. Samples of 200 g of feed mixed with 120 μL g−1 of the microencapsulated lemon grass essential oil was stored to evaluate the oil stability. Feed without microencapsulated lemon grass essential oil was prepared as control. The oil remained active for seven days, with significant reduction of S. aureus (3.08 CFU), E. coli (3.01 CFU), and S. enterica (3.10 CFU). The microencapsulated lemon grass essential oil at concentration of 80 μL mL−1 had antibacterial effect against the E. coli, S. enterica and S. aureus, and maintained stability of the feed for seven days, even with presence of organic matter, which is source of nutrients for pathogens.

Beef Processing

Beef-processing equipment can be contaminated with pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. The bowl cutter has wide application in particle-size reduction and blending of meat products. This study was undertaken to determine (i) the distribution patterns of E. coli O157:H7 in equipment components and ground beef produced with a table-top bowl cutter under different operational conditions and (ii) the likelihood that pathogen contamination can be transferred to subsequent batches after a batch of beef contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 has been processed in the same bowl cutter. A beef trim (44.6 ± 29.5 g) inoculated with 2 log CFU of an E. coli O157:H7 mutant strain resistant to rifampicin ( E. coli O157:H7rif) was fed by hand into an uncontaminated beef-trim batch under two different batch sizes (2 and 4 kg), three processing times (60, 120, and 240 s), and two feeding modes (running and stoppage fed). There were no significant differences (P ≥ 0.05) among all the treatments for the averages of the counts of E. coli O157:H7rif distributed in the ground beef. Regardless of the processing time and the method used to feed the beef trims into the bowl cutter, the whole batch and the following subsequent batch became contaminated when previously contaminated beef was processed. Areas of the bowl cutter most likely to be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 were (i) the material left on the top of the comb/knife guard and (ii) the knife. Material that overflowed the bowl cutter, when processing the batch with E. coli O157:H7rif, contaminated the equipment surroundings. A Pearson V probability distribution function was determined to describe the distribution of pathogenic organisms in the ground beef, a distribution that can also be applied when conducting process risk analyses on mixing-particle reduction operations for beef trims.

White turmeric (Curcuma aromatica Salisb.) has been widely used as a traditional herbal drug both in Vietnam and other Asian countries. In this study, the essential oil of white turmeric rhizomes (collected from Dien Bien province) was extracted and evaluated for its chemical composition and antibacterial potential against E. coli and S. aureus. The raw material was 82.48% in moisture and was steam distilled within 3 days from collection at a 0.4 kg L-1 ratio of raw material/equipment volume for 180 minutes. Under these conditions, the essential oil accounted for about 0.3% of the raw material. The GC-MS analysis showed that the composition of the essential oil consisted of more than 46 substances including a-zingiberene, 17.85%; β-sesquiphellandrene, 13.28%; and ar-curcumene, 9.45%. The white turmeric essential oil exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-positive strains of S. aureus with an inhibition zone diameter of 8.0mm but did not inhibit gram-negative strains of E. coli. Importantly, white turmeric essential oil at a concentration of 0.25% could extend the shelf life of mangoes by at least 5 days more than the control samples.

The antimutagenic potential of essential oil (EO) of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and its major constituent linalool were studied with the E. coli K12 and S.cerevisiae D7 assays. In the E. coli assay, EO and linalool inhibited UV-induced mutagenesis in a repair-proficient strain, but had no effect on spontaneous mutagenesis in repair-proficient, nucleotide excision repair-deficient, and mismatch-deficient strains. By testing participation of different mechanisms involved in antimutagenesis, it was concluded that the antimutagenic effect against UV-induced mutagenesis involved decrease of protein synthesis and cell proliferation which led to increased efficiency of nucleotide excision repair. An antimutagenic effect of basil derivatives in S. cerevisiae was not detected.
