A hyperthermophilic sulfate reducer, strain 7324, was isolated from hot (75°C) oil field waters an production platform in the Norwegian sector of North Sea. It enriched on a complex medium and lactate with sulfate. The cells were nonmotile, irregular coccoid to disc shaped, 0.3 1.0 μm wide. temperature for growth between 60 85°C optimum 76°C. Lactate, pyruvate, valerate plus H 2 utilized as carbon energy sources electron acceptor. Lactate completely oxidized CO . contained active monoxide...
ABSTRACT: Fresh Atlantic salmon fillets packaged under modified atmosphere (MA) (CO 2 :N 60:40) and air was stored at superchilled (‐2 °C) chilled (+4 temperatures. Changes in sensory scores, microbial growth, headspace gas composition, water loss, pH were monitored during 24 d of storage. The MA maintained a good quality, with negligible growth (<1000 colony‐forming units [CFU]/g) for more than based on both analyses (aerobic plate count, H2S‐producing, psychrotrophic bacteria)....
The antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity of four commercial essential oils (EOs) (thyme, clove, rosemary, tea tree) from Romanian production were studied in order to assess them as bioactive compounds for active food packaging applications. chemical composition the was determined with Folin-Ciocâlteu method gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry flame ionization detectors, it found that they respect AFNOR/ISO standard limits. EOs tested against three spoilage fungi-
In this study, acetic acid (AA-2% w/v), a combination of and citric (AA-1% w/v + CA-1% w/w), three different concentrations (CA-2, 4 6% w/w) were used to create chitosan solution. The FTIR analysis showed the presence residual CA in all CA-containing samples where no trace AA was observed. tensile strengths lower than samples. Whereas values for elongation at break higher samples, which kept increasing with an content due plasticizing effect from acid. 98% prepared shorter LVE regions that...
Several recipes based on PLA, bio-plasticizers, and active agents such as vitamin E cold-pressed rosehip seed oil encapsulated into chitosan by the emulsion method named here modified (CS-M) were elaborated melt compounding for food packaging applications. Resulted biocomposites have been investigated from point of view physical-mechanical, thermal, barrier, antimicrobial, antioxidant properties to select formulations with optimum features produce trays films The obtained results showed that...
The aim of this study was to develop a chilled, texture-modified salmon product for dysphagia patients, enriched with dairy and fish hydrolysate proteins. challenge create appealing sensory qualities texture that meets level 5 (minced & moist) the IDDSI framework. Atlantic (Salmo salar) heat-treated (95 °C/15 min), blended, reconstructed by adding modifiers, casein whey protein, enzymatically derived hydrolysate. products were packaged in oxygen-free plastic trays, core temperature 95 °C 15...
Polylactic acid (PLA) films were coated by coaxial electrospinning with essential and vegetable oils (clove argan oils) encapsulated into chitosan, in order to combine the biodegradability mechanical properties of PLA substrates antimicrobial antioxidant chitosan⁻oil nanocoatings. It has been established that morphology electrospun nanocoatings mainly depend on average molecular weight (MW) chitosan. Oil beads, main chitosan nanofibers, obtained using high-MW (Chit-H). naoparticles resulted...
Personalisation of foods opens for improving individuals' quality life. In the personalised food approach, focus research is food, its components and possibilities different processes throughout value chain to impact on individuals their needs. this paper, we will provide an overview how from a perspective can benefit consumers that require special offerings. The paper structured along addressing following topics: i) Food raw material components, ii) processing culinary aspects, iii)...

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) combined with superchilling (−1°C) was evaluated as a mild preservation method for farmed spotted wolf-fish (Anarhichas minor). Portions were packaged in air and CO2:N2 (60%:40%) gas:product ratio of approximately 1, at superchilled (−1.0°C ± 0.2°C) or chilled (+4.0°C temperatures. A reduced bacterial growth (p < 0.001), measured aerobic plate counts (APC) psychrotrophic bacteria, observed modified (MA) both −1°C +4°C, compared to portions air. MA-packaged...
Abstract Background The genome of Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13 harbours three neighbouring open reading frames showing protein sequence similarities to the proteins encoded from subtilis subsp. 168 gerA operon, GerAA, GerAB and GerAC. In B. , these are assumed form a germinant receptor involved in spore germination induced by amino acid L -alanine. Results this study we show that disruption gerAA gene MW3 hamper -alanine casein hydrolysate-triggered germination, measured absorbance at 600...
