High pressure has been studied for its usefulness in reducing microbial contaminants in foods. We sought to determine whether this technology could be used in combination with irradiation to develop shelf-stable products. We first determined the optimal pressure, temperature, and time conditions that would result in maximum reduction of Clostridium sporogenes spores in fresh chicken. At ambient temperature, a pressure of 6,800 atm for up to 60 min resulted in a 5-log-unit reduction. Heating the samples during pressurization at 80°C for 20 min resulted in the lowest number of survivors compared to samples that were heated and pressurized for only 1 and 10 min. Further, irradiation at a medium dose (3.0 kGy) before and after pressurization at 6,800 atm and 80°C for 1, 10, and 20 min revealed no significant differences in spore counts between samples that were pressurized and then irradiated or vice-versa. We then examined the effect of high pressure in lowering the irradiation dose necessary to eliminate all spores. The irradiation D value of C. sporogenes spores was calculated to be 4.1 kGy. Samples were then irradiated at various doses followed by pressurization at 6,800 atm at 80°C for 20 min. The irradiation D value was lowered to approximately 2 kGy, indicating that a combination of high hydrostatic pressure and irradiation can be used to produce chicken with an extended shelf life without the use of high irradiation doses.

Abstract Campylobacter jejuni inactivation by high pressure processing (HPP) in poultry meat (chicken breast) was investigated. The pressure was created by high hydrostatic pressure piston-cylinder food processor. Contaminated with C. jejuni (108 CFU g−1) samples of ground poultry meat were hermetically sealed in a polyamide-polyethylene bags and exposed to HPP for 9 different combinations of pressure (200 MPa, 300 MPa and 400 MPa) and time (5 min, 10 min and 15 min). Quantitative bacteriological analysis was carried out in order to determine the number of surviving C. jejuni cells. The obtained results showed that C. jejuni is relatively sensitive to high pressure treatment as compared to other food-borne pathogens. The loss of C. jejuni viability increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. On the basis of the results, D-values were calculated. For reduction C. jejuni in poultry meat by 6 log units (6D-values), considered as sufficient for consumer protection, the application of 300 MPa for 8.73 min, or 400 MPa for 4.37 min is needed. The linear regression equations, which has been calculated on the basis of this study, allows to determine the degree of C. jejuni reduction in poultry meat for any selected duration of pressurization in a given pressure range.

High Hydrostatic Pressure Processing

Peanut butter has been associated with several large foodborne salmonellosis outbreaks. This research investigates the potential of high hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP) for inactivation of Salmonella in peanut butter of modified composition, both by modifying its water activity as well by the addition of various amounts of nisin. A cocktail of six Salmonella strains associated with peanut butter and nut-related outbreaks was used for all experiments. Different volumes of sterile distilled water were added to peanut butter to increase water activity, and different volumes of peanut oil were added to decrease water activity. Inactivation in 12% fat, light roast, partially defatted peanut flour, and peanut oil was also quantified. Nisaplin was incorporated into peanut butter at four concentrations corresponding to 2.5, 5.0, 12.5, and 25.0 ppm of pure nisin. All samples were subjected to 600 MPa for 18 min. A steady and statistically significant increase in log reduction was seen as added moisture was increased from 50 to 90%. The color of all peanut butter samples containing added moisture contents darkened after high pressure processing. The addition of peanut oil to further lower the water activity of peanut butter further reduced the effectiveness of HPP. Just over a 1-log reduction was obtained in peanut flour, while inactivation to below detection limits (2 log CFU/g) was observed in peanut oil. Nisin alone without HPP had no effect. Recovery of Salmonella after a combined nisin and HPP treatment did show increased log reduction with longer storage times. The maximum log reduction of Salmonella achieved was 1.7 log CFU/g, which was comparable to that achieved by noncycling pressure treatment alone. High pressure processing alone or with other formulation modification, including added nisin, is not a suitable technology to manage the microbiological safety of Salmonella-contaminated peanut butter.

ABSTRACT Previous results demonstrated that hepatitis A virus (HAV) could be inactivated by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) (D. H. Kingsley, D. Hoover, E. Papafragkou, and G. P. Richards, J. Food Prot. 65:1605-1609, 2002); however, direct evaluation of HAV inactivation within contaminated oysters was not performed. In this study, we report confirmation that HAV within contaminated shellfish is inactivated by HHP. Shellfish were initially contaminated with HAV by using a flowthrough system. PFU reductions of >1, >2, and >3 log10 were observed for 1-min treatments at 350, 375, and 400 megapascals, respectively, within a temperature range of 8.7 to 10.3�C. Bioconcentration of nearly 6 log10 PFU of HAV per oyster was achieved under simulated natural conditions. These results suggest that HHP treatment of raw shellfish will be a viable strategy for the reduction of infectious HAV.

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the relaxation of the electrical resistivity at room temperature of oxygen-nonstoichiometric [Formula: see text] (Re = Y, Ho) single crystals is investigated. The application of hydrostatic pressure has been revealed to significantly intensify the process of diffusion coalescence in the oxygen subsystem. At the same time, the intensity of the redistribution of labile oxygen is significantly changed when yttrium is replaced by holmium.

In this work, the inactivation kinetics of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores by temperature-assisted high hydrostatic pressure was assessed by means of the Weibull model. Spores from two A. acidoterrestris strains (a wild-type strain and a reference strain) were inoculated in commercial orange juice and subjected to high pressure levels (500 and 600 MPa) combined with four temperature regimes (25, 45, 60 and 70 °C) for time up to 30 min. Results showed that for a given high-pressure level spore inactivation was higher as temperature progressively increased. Furthermore, the Weibull model consistently produced satisfactory fit to the inactivation data based on the values of the root mean squared error (RMSE < 0.54 log colony-forming units (CFU)/mL) and the coefficient of determination (R2 > 0.90 in most cases). The shape of inactivation curves was concave upward (p < 1) for all temperature/high pressure levels tested, indicating rapid inactivation of the sensitive cells of the bacterium whereas the remaining ones adapted to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment. The values of the shape (p) and scale (δ) parameters of the Weibull model were dependent on the applied temperature for a given high pressure level and they were further described in a secondary model using first-order fitting curves to provide predictions of the surviving spore population at 55 and 65 °C. Results revealed a systematic over-prediction for the wild-type strain regardless of temperature and high pressure applied, whereas for the reference strain under-prediction was evident after 3 log-cycles reduction of the surviving bacteria spores. Overall, the results obtained indicate that the effectiveness of high hydrostatic pressure against A. acidoterrestris spores is strain-dependent and also underline the need for temperature-assisted HPP for effective spore inactivation during orange juice processing.

Myrosinase Activity

Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are important functional components of cruciferous vegetables. The principal isothiocyanate molecule in broccoli is sulforaphane (SFN), followed by erucin (ERN). They are sensitive to changes in temperature, especially high temperature environments where they are prone to degradation. The present study investigates the effects of high hydrostatic pressure on isothiocyanate content, myrosinase activity, and other functional components of broccoli, and evaluates its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Broccoli samples were treated with different pressures and for varying treatment times; 15 min at 400 MPa generated the highest amounts of isothiocyanates. The content of flavonoids and vitamin C were not affected by the high-pressure processing strategy, whereas total phenolic content (TPC) exhibited an increasing tendency with increasing pressure, indicating that high-pressure processing effectively prevents the loss of the heat-sensitive components and enhances the nutritional content. The activity of myrosinase (MYR) increased after high-pressure processing, indicating that the increase in isothiocyanate content is related to the stimulation of myrosinase activity by high-pressure processing. In other key enzymes, the ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity was unaffected by high pressure, whereas peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity exhibited a 1.54-fold increase after high-pressure processing, indicating that high pressures can effectively destroy oxidases and maintain food quality. With regards to efficacy evaluation, NO production was inhibited and the expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were decreased in broccoli treated with high pressures, whereas the cell viability remained unaffected. The efficacy was more significant when the concentration of SFN was 60 mg·mL−1. In addition, at 10 mg·mL−1 SFN, the reduced/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio in inflammatory macrophages increased from 5.99 to 9.41. In conclusion, high-pressure processing can increase the isothiocyanate content in broccoli, and has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects in cell-based evaluation strategies, providing a potential treatment strategy for raw materials or additives used in healthy foods.
