Predictive microbiology and quantitative microbial risk assessment software tools for food safety management should cover the needs of a variety target-users with different background. Current trends on development in these fields evidence efforts made to harmonize data formats model annotations, which foster interoperability between available resources increase transparency. Software based programming languages (e.g. fitting Shiny apps) followed computational power last years. Databases...
A harmonised microbiological survey was performed in two artisanal factories of raw goat milk cheeses (A and B) located the Andalusian region (Spain). total 165 different control points or samples (raw materials, final products, food-contact surfaces [FCS], air) were examined as microbial pathogen sources contamination cheeses. For analysed from both producers, concentrations aerobic-mesophilic bacteria (AMB), coliforms, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus spp. (CPS), lactic-acid (LAB) moulds...
Secondary growth models from predictive microbiology can describe how the rate of microbial populations varies with environmental conditions. Because these are built based on time and resource consuming experiments, model-based Optimal Experimental Design (OED) be interest to reduce experimental load. In this study, we identify optimal designs for two common (full Ratkowsky Cardinal Parameters Model (CPM)) a different number experiments (10–30). Calculations also done fixing one or more...
The behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes was investigated in soft pasteurized milk cheese elaborated with different salt concentrations (1.17 and 0.30% w/w) cured raw sheep over storage up to 189 days at isothermal conditions. Commercial 25-g samples were inoculated a 4-strain cocktail L. (serovars 4b, 1/2a, 1/2b 1/2c) approximately 104 CFU/g. stored 4 22 °C withdrawn proper intervals for enumeration. prevalence the serovar strains characterized on using multiplex PCR. Salt reduction did not...
Artisanal cheeses are produced in small-scale production plants, where the lack of full automation and control environmental processing parameters suggests a potential risk microbial contamination. The aim this study was to perform longitudinal survey an Italian artisanal factory producing spreadable soft cheese with no rind evaluate inter- intra-batch variability physicochemical on total 720 samples. Specifically samples, evaluation additionally performed parameters. Cheese samples were...
The present research aimed to develop an edible coating incorporated with mint essential oil, evaluate its effectiveness in inhibiting vitro microbial development, and improve both quality shelf-life of fresh-cut pineapple. Mint oil-containing coatings showed antimicrobial efficiency against Escherichia coli Salmonella Enteritidis. Titratable acidity, pH, texture were not affected (P>0.05) by or storage time. Mass loss was higher than 1.0% after the 6th day storage. No effect time on...
