The family of Piperaceae contains the species P. cubeba L., which has been used as a spice in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Morocco, and Europe. A previous study has shown that crude extracts of tailed pepper (P. cubeba L.) have antimicrobial activities against foodborne pathogens species. The excellent antimicrobial activity of P. cubeba L. berries extract makes it suitable for use as a natural preservative or sanitizer in the food. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the P. cubeba L. berries extract on microbial population in tofu. The tofu samples were cut into small pieces and mixed thoroughly to ensure the homogeneity of natural microflora. Ten grams of the samples were immersed in 20 mL varying concentrations of P. cubeba L. extract; 0.00%, 0.05%, 0.50% and 5.00% for 1, 2 and 4 hrs at room temperature (23±2°C) with the agitation of 50 rpm. At 1, 2 and 4 hrs the numbers of total plate count (TPC), Bacillus cereus, coliform and Escherichia coli were counted. The result shows that a reduction of at least 3 Log10 CFU/g of TPC, Bacillus cereus., coliform and E. coli in tofu samples was observed when the samples were treated with 0.50% extract for four hours. The result suggested that P. cubeba L. berries extract can be used as a natural preservative to reduce the microbial load in raw food.

Dry cocoa bean quality is also determined by its microbe contamination level. Steaming process for dried cocoa beans as a pretreatment process was selected because of less effect on organic compound inside the dried cocoa bean. This experiment aim was to study microbial contamination level of cocoa beans using steaming process, determining its microbial population and evaluate its chemical changes. Experiment was carried out in Postharvest Laboratory of Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute. Cocoa beans for the experiment were lots collected from four farms in Jayapura, Papua with different microbial contamination level for each lot. Results of this experiment showed that optimum steaming process was 15 minutes at 100 O C with 10 minutes preheating time. Microbial analysis result of the four lots after complete steaming process by total plate count method showed the same result (<3.0 x 103 cfu). Most of the decrease in microbial contaminant appeared in the plate was 73.5% of Staphylococcus aureusand 0.058% of Penicilliumsp. Bean acidity (pH) after steaming increased (4.76 to 4.80) and free fatty acid increased (1.81% to 1.96%) while carbohydrate content decreased (17.5% to 15.9%) and as well as protein content (12.6% into 11.7%).

ABSTRACTShiga toxin (stx) -producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are foodborne pathogens that have a significant impact on public health, with those possessing the attachment factor intimin (eae) referred to as enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) associated with life threatening illnesses. Cattle and beef are considered typical sources of STEC, but their presence in pork products is a growing concern. Therefore, carcasses (n=1536) at two U.S. pork processors were sampled once per season at three stages of harvest (post-stunning skins; post-scald carcasses; chilled carcasses) then examined using PCR for stx and eae, aerobic plate count (APC) and Enterobacteriaceae counts (EBC). Skins, post-scald, and chilled carcasses had prevalence of stx (85.3, 17.5, and 5.4%, respectively), with 82.3, 7.8, and 1.7% respectively, having stx and eae present. All stx positive samples were subjected to culture isolation that resulted in 368 STEC and 46 EHEC isolates. The most frequently identified STEC were serogroup O121, O8, and O91(63, 6.7, and 6.0% of total STEC, respectively). The most frequently isolated EHEC was serotype O157:H7 (63% of total EHEC). Results showed that scalding significantly reduced (P < 0.05) carcass APC and EBC by 3.00 and 2.50 log10 CFU/100 cm2 respectively. A seasonal effect was observed with STEC prevalence lower (P < 0.05) in winter. The data from this study shows significant (P < 0.05) reduction in the incidence of STEC (stx) from 85.3% to 5.4% and of EHEC (stx+eae) from 82.3% to 1.7% within slaughter-to-chilling continuum, respectively, and that potential EHEC can be confirmed present throughout using culture isolation.IMPORTANCESeven serogroups of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are responsible for most (>75%) cases of severe illnesses caused by STEC and are considered adulterants of beef. However, some STEC outbreaks have been attributed to pork products although the same E. coli are not considered adulterants in pork because little is known of their prevalence along the pork chain. The significance of the work presented here is that it identifies disease causing STEC, enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), demonstrating that these same organisms are a food safety hazard in pork as well as beef. The results show that most STEC isolated from pork are not likely to cause severe disease in humans and that processes used in pork harvest, such as scalding, offer a significant control point to reduce contamination. The results will assist the pork processing industry and regulatory agencies to optimize interventions to improve the safety of pork products.

Squids perish rapidly like other fishes and require some treatment to maintain the quality for export. The microbial quality of frozen squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana, Lesson 1830) treated with the commercial food grade chemicals imported from Spain was therefore studied. Dressed squids were treated with the chemicals Hidratech_4A (0.4%) and Whitech_3 (0.25%) dissolved in chilled freshwater (STCF) and chilled saltwater (STCS). Chilled squids not treated served as control (SNTC). Squids were quick frozen at -40°C in contact plate freezer and stored at-20±1°C. Samples were tested raw, after pre-processing, treatments and freezing and during storage at monthly intervals for 7 months. The microbial quality evaluation included Total Plate Count (TPC), Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella. Study revealed a better quality of treated samples than control. Microbiological quality of STCS was better than STCF and SNTC. E. coli counts decreased after treatment. Salmonella and V. cholerae were absent.

ABSTRACT In this study, the effect of individual lecithin phospholipids on the antimicrobial properties of eugenol against Escherichia coli C600 was investigated. We tested five major phospholipids common in soy or egg lecithin (1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DPPC], 1,2-dioctadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC], 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine [DPPE], 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate [sodium salt] [DPPA], and 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine [DPPS]) and one synthetic cationic phospholipid (1,2-dioctadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine [18:0 EPC]). Among the six phospholipids, DPPC, DSPC, DPPE, DPPA, and the cationic 18:0 EPC showed critical synergistic concentrations that significantly improved the inactivation effect of eugenol against E. coli after 30 min of exposure. At the critical synergistic concentration, an additional ca. 0.4 to 1.9 log reduction (ca. 0.66 to 2.17 log CFU/ml reduction) in the microbial population was observed compared to eugenol-only (control) treatments (ca. 0.25 log reduction). In all cases, increasing the phospholipid amount above the critical synergistic concentration (which was different for each phospholipid) resulted in antimicrobial properties similar to those seen with the eugenol-only (control) treatments. DPPS did not affect the antimicrobial properties of eugenol at the tested concentrations. The critical synergistic concentration of phospholipids was correlated with their critical micelle concentrations (CMC). IMPORTANCE Essential oils (EOs) are naturally occurring antimicrobials, with limited use in food due to their hydrophobicity and strong aroma. Lecithin is used as a natural emulsifier to stabilize EOs in aqueous systems. We previously demonstrated that, within a narrow critical-concentration window, lecithin can synergistically enhance the antimicrobial properties of eugenol. Since lecithin is a mixture of different phospholipids, we aimed to identify which phospholipids are crucial for the observed synergistic effect. This research studied the bioactivity of lecithin phospholipids, contributing to a rational design in using lecithin to effectively control foodborne pathogens in foods.

Hygiene standard of buffalo meat in Dharan was assessed by microbiological analyses and field survey method. Ten samples of buffalo meat, knives, chopping board and hands of butchers were examined for total plate count (TPC), total coliforms, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and Shigella. Average of TPC, Coliforms, E. coli and S. aureus counts in meat were 3.59×107, 2.06×104, 1.69×103 and 9.67×103 cfu/g respectively. Salmonella was detected in 80% samples and all samples were Shigella positive. The average TPC count of chopping board, knives and hands were found to be 3.15×104, 3.47×103 and 2.01×104 cfu/ cm2 respectively. The average Coliform, E. coli and S. aureus counts of chopping board were found to be 1.11×103, 9.8× 101 and 6.2×102 cfu/cm2. The average Coliform, E. coli and S. aureus counts of knives were found to be 1.31×103, 1.66×102 and 2.83×102 cfu/cm2. The average Coliform, E. coli and S. aureus counts of the palms of butchers were found to be 1.95×103, 1.66×102 and 1.77×102 cfu/cm2. Two chopping boards, three knives and three hands were found Salmonella free. Five chopping boards, three knives and two hands were detected for Shigella. The field survey of 31 meat shops showed that the hygiene condition of meat sold in Dharan was found unsatisfactory. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jfstn.v7i0.10617   J. Food Sci. Technol.
