Challenges for estimating human norovirus infectivity by viability RT-qPCR as compared to replication in human intestinal enteroids
Int J Food Microbiol. 2023 Nov 24;411:110507. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110507. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTViability RT-qPCR, a molecular detection method combining viability marker pre-treatment with RT-qPCR, has been proposed to infer infectivity of viruses which is particularly relevant for non-culturable viruses or sophisticated cell culture systems. Being human noroviruses (HuNoV) most frequently associated with foodborne outbreaks, this study compared different viability techniques and infectivity in human intestinal enteroids (HIE) to ultimately determine whether the molecular approaches could serve as rapi...

Antifungal activity and mechanism of Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Persoon essential oil against the waxberry spoilage fungi Penicillium oxalicum and its potential application
Int J Food Microbiol. 2023 Nov 29;411:110512. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110512. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLitsea cubeba essential oil (LCEO) is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic substance produced from the fruit of the Litsea tree that has been used for the treatment of various diseases in China for thousands of years. Here, the antifungal activities of LCEO against 10 different fungi (Naganishia diffluens, Fusarium sacchari, Cladosporium tenuissimum, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium subglutinans, Mucor racemosus, Penicillium oxalicum, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Aspergillus niger) that ca...

Tailor-made fermentation of sourdough reduces the acrylamide content in rye crispbread and improves its sensory and nutritional characteristics
Int J Food Microbiol. 2023 Nov 30;410:110513. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110513. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThirty strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae E8.9 (wild type) were used to formulate fifteen combinations of starters by mixing two or three LAB with the yeast (ratio LAB: yeast, 10: 1). Such combinations were used to prepare rye sourdough and their performance in term of acidification and biochemical characteristics during fermentation at two temperatures (30 and 37 °C) and duration (4 and 8 h) were screened. The best thirteen sourdough formulations were selected and used for ry...

Isolation, identification, and stability of sourdough microbiota from spontaneously fermented Norwegian legumes
This study investigated the dynamics and stability of the microbial communities in spontaneously fermented sourdoughs made from flours of two cultivars of faba beans and two cultivars of peas. Sourdoughs were established by the backslopping technique, and the microbial development at 22 °C and 30 °C was followed by culture dependent and culture independent methods. The utilization of substrates and formation of metabolites were also determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. A stable pH was reached in all the sourdoughs after 11-15 days of daily backslopping. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast from pH stable sourd...

Prevalence and growth potential of Listeria monocytogenes in innovative, pre-packed, plant-based ready-to-eat food products on the Belgian market
Int J Food Microbiol. 2023 Nov 25;410:110506. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110506. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent years, pre-packed ready-to-eat (RTE) food products on the Belgian market have shifted to a more plant-based composition due to a variety of reasons, including consumer concerns about health, animal welfare, and sustainability. However, similar to animal-based RTE foods, plant-based RTE foods can be susceptible to the presence and outgrowth of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). Three innovative, pre-packed, plant-based RTE food product categories on the Belgian market were identified based up...
