Novel ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-C LED at 279 nm) are being investigated for broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity in addition to traditional mercury-lamp 254 nm UV-C systems. The goals of this study were to determine the doses required for hepatitis A virus (a resilient foodborne virus) inactivation in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH = 7.2), apple juice (AJ, pH = 4), and coconut water (CW, pH = 5), when treated with traditional 254 nm UV-C compared to 279 nm UV-C LED.

Microbial spoilage in nutrient-rich strawberries has led to significant food waste and economic loss in the food industry. The quorum-quenching enzyme AiiA is believed to disrupt communication between cells by inactivating AHLs-based quorum sensing signals. Chitosan, a biopolymer derived from chitin, is widely used as a coating film to inhibit bacterial growth and prolong food shelf life.

Introduction: Concerns about antibiotic resistance have prompted interest in alternative strategies for enhancing disease resistance, particularly in livestock and poultry production.
Objectives: This study explored the role of trained immunity in enhancing resistance to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) infection in mice and chickens.

Here, we report the primary structure of hortensin 4, main type 1 ribosome inactivating protein (RIP) isolated from Atriplex hortensis seeds. The complete sequencing was achieved by a combination of mass spectrometry coupled with Edman degradation. The amino acid sequence of hortensin 4 matches with that of Atriplex patens type 1 RIP, deduced from the cDNA sequence (AC: ABJ90432.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of heating rate on thermal inactivation kinetics of microorganisms in food, testing the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in ground beef during isothermal and dynamic heating. A 4-strain cocktail of E. coli O157:H7 was inoculated to irradiation-sterilized ground beef (10 % fat) and then subjected to isothermal heating (55-63 °C) and dynamic heating (20-63 °C).
