Lamb liver samples from a commercial abattoir were packed separately and stored under aerobic conditions at 0 and 3°C for 8 d. Both surface microbiological [aerobic plate count (APC)] at 30°C, APC at 7°C, Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, and lactic acid bacteria counts and organoleptic analysis (“overall appearance”, “odor”, and “visible surface colonies”) were performed on days 0, 3, 6, and 8. All microbial groups (except lactic acid bacteria) showed differences in the growth between 0 and 3°C. Both at 0 and 3°C, a statistical correlation was demonstrated between organoleptic spoilage and the increase in APCs at 30°C, APCs at 7°C, and Pseudomonas (r ≥ 0.9; p < 0.0001). When these three parameters reached 106–107 CFU/cm2, visible surface colonies appeared, which made the product rejectable. Among the three organoleptic parameters studied, this is the first to determine organoleptic spoilage and has hence enabled us to establish a shelf life of up to 6–7 d and up to 4–5.5 d for samples stored at 0 and 3°C, respectively. Off-odors were detected 2 d later since the three counts had already reached levels higher than 108 CFU/cm2.

The limited shelf life in a food requires a natural preservative so that the food used is not easily damaged and has a longer shelf life, namely by using lactic acid bacteria (BAL) using alternative media. By using lactic acid bacteria, the time in the storage period food products can be extended. The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of the Lactobacillus lactis bacteria on an alternative growth base media and a media on the media of bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria were rejuvenated and culture propagation of 5 ?l was inoculated into 5 mL of MRSB media. Formulation media used for bacterial growth such as whey tofu + 5% sucrose + 1% urea. The alternative media was incubated for 24 hours. Bacterial growth was observed at 0, 4, 8 and 16 hours using the TPC (Total Plate count) method. Various media Lactobacillus lactis bacterial deposition was grown on MRSB media and dried with freeze dry for 48 hours and the viability of Lactobacillus lactis was tested. The basic growth media that can be used are Lactobacillus lactis bacteria, namely whey tofu + sucrose 5% + urea 1% as well as Lactobacillus lactis viability results in various media which are grown on MRS media and various alternative media shows that the media has a 100% carrageenan composition able to maintain the viability of Lactobacillus lactis cells.

Sliced (cut) and exterior (intact) surfaces of restructured cooked roast beef were inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes, treated with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC; immersion in 500 ml of 1% solution for 1 min), individually vacuum packaged, and stored for 42 days at 0 or 4°C. Noninoculated samples were similarly treated, packaged, and stored to determine effects on quality (color and firmness) and on naturally occurring bacterial populations, including aerobic plate counts and lactic acid bacteria. Immediately after CPC treatment, regardless of inoculation level, L. monocytogenes populations were reduced (P = 0.05) by about 2 log CFU/cm2 on sliced surfaces and by about 4 log CFU/cm2 on exterior surfaces. Throughout 42 days of refrigerated storage (at both 0 and 4°C), L. monocytogenes populations on CPC-treated samples remained lower (P = 0.05) than those of nontreated samples for both surface types. After 42 days of storage at both 0 and 4°C, aerobic plate count and lactic acid bacteria populations of treated samples were 1 to 1.5 log CFU/cm2 lower (P = 0.05) than those of nontreated samples for both surface types. CPC treatment resulted in negligible effects (P > 0.05) on the color (L*, a*, and b* values) of exterior and sliced roast beef surfaces during storage. For both sliced and exterior surfaces, CPC-treated samples were generally less firm than nontreated samples. CPC treatment effectively reduced L. monocytogenes populations on roast beef surfaces and resulted in relatively minor impacts on color and texture attributes. CPC treatment, especially when applied to products prior to slicing, may serve as an effective antimicrobial intervention for ready-to-eat meat products.

Food additives are artificial or natural substances that are added to food to improve the color, aroma, taste, and other qualities, and to meet processing requirements. For the concern of food health and safety, brewed soy sauce without additives has attracted consumers’ attention. Here, only four necessary raw materials including soybean, wheat, salt, and water were added. High-salt soy sauce fermentation was conducted for six months by sequential inoculation of lactic acid bacteria and yeast under different brine content (18%, 20%, and 22%). By analyzing the physicochemical indicators during moromi, three soy sauces (No. 1: 18% salt, inoculated with Tetragenococcus halophilus and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, No. 5: 20% salt, inoculated with T. halophilus and Z. rouxii, No. 11: 22% salt, inoculated with T. halophilus and Candida versatilis) were selected and sterilized to produce finished products for further comparative investigation. Results showed that the flavor components of these three soy sauces were richer in variety than the commercial soy sauces and No. 11 soy sauce was detected to have the largest total amount of organic acids. Plate count agar analysis revealed that the free amino acid differences of soy sauces were distinct, among which the No. 11 soy sauce had the highest glutamate content of 19.64 g L−1. Besides, it was found that the shelf life of these three soy sauces could reach two years at 4 ℃. This study suggests that the high-salt soy sauce made by rational application of lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and effective sterilization can have high quality and long shelf life without adding any additives.

Preservation effects of modified atmosphere package combined with nisin on fresh Atlantic salmon were evaluated. Farm-raised Atlantic salmon were purchased from the local market and packaged using either 19 % CO2: 70 % N2 : 11 % O2 , 38 % CO2 : 51 % N2 : 11 % O2, and under atmospheric air (with and without nisin at 400 IU/g) resulting in a total of 6 treatments. The microbiological (aerobic plate count, psychrotrophic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria) and the total volatile basic nitrogen analyses were evaluated on Day 0, 2, 4, 7 and 10. Package headspace and sensory evaluation were also conducted on Day 0, 2 and 4. The presence of CO2 effectively inhibited the growth of all three types of bacteria while nisin significantly inhibited the growth of aerobic microorganisms with less impact on lactic acid bacteria. The TVB-N test indicated that CO2 delayed the spoilage of Atlantic salmon while nisin had a lesser but measurable impact on Atlantic salmon shelf-life. The experiments support the potential for combining modified atmosphere package and nisin as an effective method to limit the spoilage of Atlantic salmon compare to traditional preservation methods.

This study investigated changes in the microbial composition of microbrewed beer during the manufacturing processes and identified potential microbial hazards, effective critical quality control points, and potential contamination routes. Comprehensive quantitative (aerobic plate count, lactic acid bacteria, fungi, acetic acid bacteria, coliforms, and Bacillus cereus) and qualitative (Escherichia coli and eight foodborne pathogens) microbiological analyses were performed using samples of raw materials (malt and manufacturing water), semiprocessed products (saccharified wort, boiled wort, and samples taken during the fermentation and maturation process), and the final product obtained from three plants. The initial aerobic plate count and lactic acid bacteria counts in malt were 5.2 and 4.3 log CFU/g, respectively. These counts were reduced to undetectable levels by boiling but were present at 2.9 and 0.9 log CFU/ml in the final product. Fungi were initially present at 3.6 log CFU/g, although again, the microbes were eliminated by boiling; however, the level in the final product was 4.6 log CFU/ml. No E. coli or foodborne pathogens (except B. cereus) were detected. B. cereus was detected at all stages, although it was not present in the water or boiled wort (total detection rate = 16.4%). Results suggest that boiling of the wort is an effective microbial control measure, but careful management of raw materials and implementation of effective control measures after boiling are needed to prevent contamination of the product after the boiling step. The results of this study may constitute useful and comprehensive information regarding the microbiological quality of microbrewed beer.

The effect of bacteriocin produced by Indonesia Isolate of lactic acid bacteria toward total bacteria in pasteurized milkABSTRACT. The aim of this research was to study the ability of bacteriocin (amylocin) produced by Indonesian isolate of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) (Lactobacillus amylovorus US 121) and its combination with nisin in pasteurized milk. The total bacteria was measured by plate count method. The antimicrobial activity of amylosin at 64 AU/ml had the same activity with nisin at 625 AU/ml and its combination between amylosin and nisin at 32 AU/ml and 312,5 AU/ml respectively against psychrotrophic, thermoduric bacteria and L. monocytogenes in pasteurized milk. However, combination of amylosin and nisin (32 AU/ml + 312,5 AU/ml) able to reduce S. aureus in pasteurized milk. Amylosin at 64 AU/ml kept the shelf life of pasteurized milk longer until 12 days at 10oC. The addition of amylosin (the precipitate resulted by ammonium sulfate precipitation at 70% w/v) changed the color of pasteurized milk be brownish white.

Food fermentation is one of various food processing techniques that has sufficient benefits of nutrition values, and also contains lactic acid bacteria which potentially inhibit pathogenic bacteria, thus prolong shelf life of  products. Bakasang is a traditional fermented food from North Sulawesi since many years ago. Reported research of bakasang previously had described that lactic acid bacteria was the dominant isolates and therefore current research  aimed to isolate and identify the lactic acid bacteria which associated during fermentation day 1 and day 15, respectively. Raw materials used were 5 kg intestine and liver of skipjack brought from local market Bersehati Manado. The intestine and liver of skipjack were washed and smashed and mixed with 10% salt  and 5% rice  from weight of the samples and then filled into bottle to be fermented for 15 days. Every 3 days (1,3,6,9,12,15), the samples were collected and analyzed for total lactic acid bacteria by using Total Plate Count Method on de Mann Rogosa Sharpe Agar after incubation at 37°C for 24 h. The colonies  grown were transferred to Tryptic Soy Broth and followed by streaking them on Tryptic Soy Agar and the free growing colony on agar medium were isolated into slant agar which were used for biochemical test such as Gram’s staining, motility test, catalase test, oksidase test, H2S test, IMVIC test (Indole, Methyl Red, Voges Proskauer, Citrate) and carbohydrate fermentation. The results showed that Lactobacillus sp., Bacillus sp., Eubacterium sp., and Bifidobacterium sp. All these four bacteria were distributed from day 1 to day 15 of the fermentation process© Fermentasi bahan pangan merupakan salah satu dari sekian banyak teknik pengolahan makanan yang mempunyai banyak manfaat dari kualitas gizi, mengandung bakteri asam laktat sehingga menghambat bakteri patogen sehingga daya simpan lebih panjang. Bakasang merupakan makanan fermentasi tradisional masyarakat Sulawesi Utara yang sudah ada sejak lama. Penelitian yang telah dilakukan terhadap bakasang menghasilkan informasi bahwa terdapat bakteri asam laktat pada bakasang sehingga menjadi tujuan untuk mengisolasi dan identifikasi bakteri asam laktat selama proses fermentasi 1-15 hari. Bahan baku bakasang ialah jeroan (usus dan hati) ikan cakalang Katsuwonis pelamis sebanyak 5 kg yang diambil dari pasar Bersehati Manado. Sampel jeroan dibersihkan kemudian dihancurkan, ditambahkan garam 10% dan nasi 5% kemudian difermentasi selama 15 hari dengan mengambil tiap-tiap sampel setiap 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, dan 15 untuk dihitung jumlah bakteri asam laktat dengan menggunakkan metode Total Plate Count pada media de Mann Rogosa Sharpe Agar dan koloni yang tumbuh di tumbuhkan  kembali pada media Tryptic Soy Broth  dan digores kembali pada media Tryptic Soy Agar, koloni yang tumbuh digores pada media slant agar yang selanjutnya diidentifikasi bakteri asam laktat berdasarkan uji biokimia yaitu uji pewarnaan Gram, uji motility, uji katalase, uji oksidase, uji H2S dan uji IMVIC (Indole, MethylRed, Voges Proskauer, Citrate). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa selama proses fermentasi berlangsung terdapat 4 genera bakteri asam laktat sesuai yaitu Lactobacillus sp., Bacillus sp., Eubacterium sp., dan Bifidobacterium sp., ke 4 genera ini tersebar pada fermentasi hari 1 sampai hari ke 15©
