Photodynamic inactivation mediated by natural alizarin on bacteria for the safety of fresh-cut apples. | LitMetric

Most photosensitizers have limited responsiveness to visible light, however, visible light is a light source with a wide range of wavelengths and the most common in daily life, and making full use of visible light can help to enhance the photodynamic antimicrobial properties of photosensitizers. To tackle this issue, this study confirmed that alizarin has a good absorption capacity for visible light by UV-DRS analysis. Theoretical calculations showed that alizarin might be excited through the charge transfer (CT) mechanism. Under simulated light conditions, alizarin exhibited significant photodynamic inactivation, with a bactericidal efficiency of 99.91 % against S. aureus and L. monocytogenes within 40 min. Meanwhile, the cytolytic rate of alizarin was less than 5 % and the free radical scavenging rate was more than 90 %. To improve the freshness of fresh-cut fruits, we prepared alizarin-pectin (Ali-Pec) coatings using a one-step synthesis method. FT-IR spectroscopic showed the possible presence of hydrogen bonding. It was further found that during storage, the coating-treated fresh-cut apples in the experimental group showed an 8 % reduction in the variation of L-value and a 50 % reduction in the variation of a*-value, and effectively maintained the pH, VC, PPO, and T-AOC levels of the fresh-cut apples, which prolonged the shelf-life of the fresh-cut apples.
