This study aims to enhance the color and microbiological qualities of a raw beef using natural ingredients. Nitroso-hemoglobin (NO-Hb) integrated with vitamin C (VC), calcium lactate, and ginger complexation were used as natural inhibitors against the growth of aerobic and pathogenic bacteria, namely (Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Salmonella. NO-Hb inhibited E. coli, S. aureus, and Salmonella, and enhanced the color stability more than nitrite in the minced beef model. After the multiexponential analysis of relaxation decays, the water component (T) was analyzed using the low-field NMR. The results indicated that, at the 7th d of cold-storage the third component (T) was detected. Significant correlations were observed between T and T relaxation times and water-holding capacity in minced beef, implying that the LF-NMR measurements could be an efficient method for the determination and prediction of beef freshness. NO-Hb- ginger mixture, as a novel ingredient, could be used instead of nitrite in terms of meat safety.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of some microalgae species adding with different forms on minced beef meat shelf life during cryogenic storage for 13 days. Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira platensis are chosen because of their safety and high nutritional value. Microalgae nanoparticles with their different forms have been prepared by using emulsification solvent evaporation method.

The significance of as a foodborne pathogen is increasingly acknowledged, but the assessment of its occurrence and transmission remains challenging due to the lack of validation of selective isolation, detection, and identification methods. The aim of the present study was to examine its presence on various meat samples at the retail level in order to assess a potential foodborne transmission and its occurrence in clinical stool samples. First, the evaluation and selection of a selective enrichment broth and isolation medium, combined with an optimized identification by MALDI-TOF MS, as well as a suitable DNA extraction method and a PCR-based detection strategy were developed.

An enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) outbreak affecting 154 individuals was identified among attendees at a wedding in Loei Province, Thailand. The median time to symptom onset was 18 h (range: 7-72 h). The epidemiological evidence suggested that larb-neua-dib (spicy minced raw beef salad) was the probable source of the outbreak.

Seventeen strains of LAB (lactic acid bacteria) were screened for their ability to form ZnPP (zinc protoporphyrin) by measuring fluorescence intensity. Three strains ( JX11, MDJ8, and Q) exhibited notable ZnPP-forming ability. The ferrochelatase enzyme activity of JX11 was significantly higher than that of the other two strains ( < 0.

Background: Postbiotics comprise soluble compounds freed from the structure of destroyed bacteria or created by living bacteria. Such byproducts provide the host with enhanced biological function as well as specific physiological consequences. This research aims to examine the characteristics and possible health advantages of -derived postbiotics.
