ABSTRACT: The effectiveness of Ag + ‐based antimicrobial film in inhibiting the growth an Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris strain was assessed. proposed active obtained by depositing via plasma Ag‐containing polyethylenoxide‐like coating on a polyethylene layer. Tests were conducted at 44 °C, monitoring viable cell concentration investigated microorganism into 2 different media: acidified malt extract broth and apple juice. Results indicate that successfully inhibited A. both media. also...
The search for a sustainable food system represents major scientific challenge, as the products and especially waste/residues generated, in various stages of chain, continue to grow. Almonds are appreciated worldwide their sensory, nutritional functional properties, but also great versatility. expanding market almonds almond (almond oil, milk, butter etc.) has led generation tons by-products along processing chain (hull, shell, skin, blanched water etc.). Various papers proved that contain...
The rapid advancement of energy-efficient parallel ultra-low-power (ULP) <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu$</tex-math> </inline-formula> controllers units (MCUs) is enabling the development autonomous nano-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (nano-UAVs). These sub-10cm drones represent next generation unobtrusive robotic helpers and ubiquitous smart sensors. However, nano-UAVs face significant...
IoT applications span a wide range in performance and memory footprint, under tight cost power constraints. High-end rely on power-hungry Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) featuring powerful processors, large LPDDR/DDR3/4/5 memories, supporting full-fledged Operating Systems (OS). On the contrary, low-end typically Ultra-Low-Power μcontrollers with "close to metal" software en-vironment simple micro-kernel-based runtimes. Emerging trends of require "best both worlds": cheap low-power SoC systems...
R. LANCIOTTI, F. GARDINI, M. SINIGAGLIA AND M.E. GUERZONI. 1996. The effects of chemicophysical growth conditions such as pH, temperature and water activity (aw) on lethal high homogenization pressure Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli Yarrowia lipolytica were investigated. results, though based standard media, emphasize the importance food system composition its thermal history tolerance microbial population.
The present study was aimed to evaluate the microbiological and sensory characteristics of biopreserved packed fresh plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), during storage.Fish samples were treated with a Bifidobacterium bifidum strain thymol as preservatives, stored at different temperatures (4 12 degrees C) package atmospheres (in air, under vacuum, modified atmosphere). Data about total viable count (TVC) used predict shelf life fish fillets affected by preservatives storage conditions. obtained...
This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of high-pressure homogenization (HPH) against Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris.The susceptibility three different strains A. acidoterrestris (DSMZ 2498, Gamma4 and c8) HPH (500-1700 bar) studied. The experiments were performed in a laboratory medium (malt extract broth) on cells spores. caused significant reduction initial cell number (1-2 log CFU ml(-1) at highest pressures) DSMZ 2498 strains, whereas effect spores less significant.This...
Summary The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness some natural compounds (cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, limonene) and sodium benzoate against two strains Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (c8 γ4). (10–500 ppm) were solved in malt extract broth, inoculated separately with 10 3 spores mL −1 each strain; samples incubated at 44 °C outgrowth evaluated every day by measuring absorbance medium 420 nm; without active used as controls. results pointed out that limonene not...
