A literature search was performed on spoilage of fresh meat products by combining keyword query, text mining and expert elicitation. From the 258 collected studies, a quantitative analysis was first performed to identify the methods which are the most used to evaluate spoilage beside the preservation strategies suggested. In a second step focusing on a subset of 24 publications providing quantitative data on spoilage occurrence time, associations between spoilage occurrence time of meat products and specific spoilage indicators were investigated. The analysis especially focused on factors well represented in the 24 publications, i.e., gas packaging (O and CO) and storage temperature. Relationships between spoilage occurrence and several microbiological indicators were also sought. The results point out possible advantages of removing dioxygen in packaging to delay spoilage occurrence, whereas, in the presence of dioxygen, the carbon dioxide proportion in the gas mixtures was shown to influence spoilage occurrence. The collected data clearly reveal a potentially protective role of lactic acid bacteria. Besides, while a spoilage role could be attributed to s spp., the growth of mesophilic aerobic microbes, spp. and seemed independent of spoilage occurrence time.

Psychrophilic Pseudomonas fluorescens can secrete extracellular enzymes, biofilms, and other substances even under refrigeration conditions, which have a negative impact on the quality of dairy products, aquatic products, meat products, produce, and other foods, causing food spoilage and huge economic losses. Therefore, strengthening the prevention and control of psychrophilic P. fluorescens in food is of great significance.

Postharvest guava fruit are at high risk of decay and spoilage, which extremely restrains the further advancement of guava industry in China. Currently, slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) has been shown to be potent in maintaining the storability of fruits and vegetables. Accordingly, this work was designed to figure out the effectiveness of SAEW on storability maintenance in postharvest guavas via regulating the phenylpropane metabolism.

fungi are key producers of pharmaceuticals, enzymes, and food products and exhibit diverse lifestyles, ranging from saprophytes to opportunistic pathogens. To improve understanding of species diversity, identify key environmental factors influencing their geographic distributions, and estimate the impact of future climate change, we trained a random forest machine learning classifier on 30,542 terrestrial occurrence records for 176 species (~40% of known species in the genus) and 96 environmental variables. We found that regions with high species diversity are concentrated in temperate forests, which suggests that areas with mild seasonal variation may serve as diversity hotspots.

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma can be used to control food spoilage and food pathogens. However, DBD plasma may induce sublethal injury in microorganisms, constituting a considerable risk to food safety. This research was designed to investigate the sublethal injury and recovery of Escherichia coli O157:H7 after DBD plasma treatment.

Background: Along bacteria, yeasts are common in forages and forage fermentations as spoilage microbes or as additives, yet few studies exist with species-level data on these fungi's occurrence in feedstuff. Active dry yeast and other yeast-based products are also common feed additives in animal husbandry. Here, we aimed to characterize both fermented and non-fermented milking cow feedstuff samples from Hungary to assess their microbial diversity in the first such study from Central Europe.
