      Abstract:In this paper, the effect of carvacrol to inhibit biofilm formation of E. faecalis R612-Z1 and the possible inhibition mechanisms were studied by analyzing the bacterial swimming and swarming abilities, the total bacterial counts and extracellular polysaccharides contents in biofilm, the changes of biofilm microstructure and the expression levels of related genes. The result of this study showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration of carvacrol to E. faecalis R612-Z1 was 512 μg/mL. The total bacterial counts in biofilm were not significantly changed after 1/4 MIC (128 μg/mL) carvacrol treatment, but the bacterial swimming and swarming abilities and exopolysaccharides contents in biofilm were meaningfully deceased. The biofilm structure became loose and rough, and membrane thickness was reduced after 1/4 MIC(128 μg/mL) carvacrol treatment observed by scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Real-time PCR revealed that the expression levels of genes associated with adhesion and extracellular polysaccharide synthesis were significantly decreased after carvacrol treatment. This result indicated that carvacrol had a significant inhibitory effect on E. faecalis R612-Z1 biofilms by inhibiting initial adhesion and synthesis of extracellular polysaccharides of E. faecalis R612-Z1.

      Abstract:Peppermint oil nanoemulsion was prepared by using the method of high pressure homogenizer with soybean protein and phosphatidylcholine as emulsifier. The microstructure, stability mechanism and antimicrobial property of peppermint oil nanoemulsion were studied. It was found that nanoemulsion droplet was in the spherical shape by using freezing cycle scanning electron microscopy to observe the microstructure of peppermint oil nanoemulsion, indicating that the soybean protein was completely adsorbed at the oil-water interface of the nanoemulsion and presented a core shell structure. The results of physical and chemical stability showed that the nanoemulsion of peppermint oil had higher pH value and salt ions resistance. The alkaline condition was more favorable for the maintenance of the physical and chemical stability of nanoemulsion. And the effect of CaCl2 concentration on it was greater than that of sodium chloride. After 30 days of storage in 4, 25 and 55 ℃, the size of emulsion increased by 30-50 nm and the retention rate of peppermint oil was higher than 85%. No obvious stratification occurred in the emulsion. It was found that that minimum bacteriostasis concentration of peppermint oil nanoemulsion to listeria monocytogenes and staphylococcus aureus were 0.5%, and the result was consistent with the bacteriostatic effect of the control group of peppermint oil. However, the results of the growth curve of the two microorganisms in 36 hours manifested that the nanoemulsion of peppermint oil had a longer time-effect depressant effect on microbial growth.

      Abstract:In order to explore the influence of thawing conditions on the quality of apple juice, the physicochemical properties and volatile aroma components content of apple juice after thawing by 6 methods were analyzed. Besides, principal component analysis was used to evaluate the relationships between indexes. The results are as follow: Still air thawing took the longest time, followed by static water thawing and ultrasonic thawing. Compared with thawing at room temperature, thawing at low temperature took more time. There was no significant difference in color, soluble solid content, titratable acid content and the reducing sugar content of apple juice after thawing by different thawing methods (P > 0.05). The content of polyphenol in apple juice thawed in still air decreased significantly, while there was no significant difference in polyphenol content between static water and ultrasonic thawing (P > 0.05). The content of polyphenols in apple juice that thawing at low temperature was less than that of thawed at room temperature(P < 0.05). Under low temperature, 2-methyl butyl acetate was the most abundant among all volatile aroma compounds in apple juice, which accounted for 56%-64% of the total aroma components. However, the substance was not detected in that at room temperature, indicating that thawing at low temperature contributed to the retention of apple juice aroma components. This study showed that, under low temperature conditions, ultrasonic thawing can shorten the thawing time, and can retain the nutrients and color in apple juice.

      Abstract:In this paper, chicken breast as raw material, myofibrillar proteins were phosphorylated with sodium tripoly phosphate (STP). On the basis of single-factor investigation, response surface methodology was employed to establish optimum conditions for phosphorylation, and discussed the effect of polyphenols (chlorogenic acid and gallic acid) synergistic phosphorylation on proteinaceous gel properties. The results showed that the optimal conditions of myofibrillar protein phosphorylation were pH 7.52, protein concentration 15.36 mg/mL, NaCl concentration 0.75 mol/L, reaction time 2 h, and STP content 3.40%. Under this condition, the degree of phosphorylation was 99.001 mg/g. The degree of protein phosphorylation obtained by simulating the actual processing of meat products was close to the experimental results, which proved the feasibility of phosphorylation. After phosphorylation, the gelling elasticity, whiteness and water retention of myofibrillar protein were increased varying degrees, which explained that phosphorylation can improve the gel properties of proteins. In addition, compared to chlorogenic acid, gallic acid had more significant effects on various aspects of gel properties; as the concentration of polyphenols increased, the gel hardness first increased and then decreased; the gel elasticity didn't change significantly. The gel whiteness first decreased and then increased with the increasing of chlorogenic acid concentration, and decreased with the increasing of gallic acid concentration. The water retention of the gel gradually increased with the concentration of polyphenols increasing.

      Abstract:In order to study the effects of antioxidant of bamboo (AOB) slurry ice and rosemary extract (RE) slurry ice on the antioxidant activity and microorganism of Lateolabrax japonicas during storage. Samples were divided into three groups randomly and treated with slurry ice (SI), 0.1% AOB-SI and 0.1% RE-SI respectively, which were stored at 4℃. Sensory evaluation, Lipid oxidation (peroxide value (POV), malondialdehyde (MDA), free fatty acid (FFA)), protein oxidation (carbonyl value, sulfhydryl value) and total viable counts (TVC) were measured respectively during storage. The results showed that samples with AOB-SI and RE-SI treatment could delay the increase of POV, MDA and FFA content significantly, inhibit the rise of carbonyl, sulfhydryl and TVC greatly. The antioxidant effect of AOB-SI treatment was slightly better than that of RE-SI. It can be seen that AOB-SI and RE-SI can delay the process of hydrolysis and protein oxidation, inhibit the growth of microbes, which can prolong the shelf life of Lateolabrax japonicas with slurry ice for another 3-6 d. According to the correlation analysis, the lipid oxidation of Lateolabrax japonicas was significantly related to the quality of protein, and the microbial growth was also an important factor affecting the oxidative degradation of lipid and protein in Lateolabrax japonicas.

      Abstract:Antibiotics resistance of 97 lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional fermented foods were analyzed. The results showed that most of strains were resistant to vancomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, tetracycline, and teicoplanin, and the resistance rate could reach more than 50%. However, the resistance to ampicillin, erythromycin, trimethoprim and cefuroxime were relatively lower, just about 10%. Among of the 13 antimicrobial resistance genes, the most detected genes were tetM(91.75%) and ermB(86.60%), followed by aac(6′)-aph(2″)(53.61%), lnuA(45.36%), tetK(39.18%), ermC(36.08%), strA(34.02%) and blaZ(32.99%) genes, and strA(27.84%), msrA/B(22.22%) and aph(3′)-III(7.22%) was lower detected genes. The cat and vanX gene were not detected in our study. Additionally, by MTP methods, 70% of isolates were determined to have biofilm producing ability. Compared to the biofilm-producing negative strains, the positive ones were proved to be more frequent multiple resistant. In conclusion, the transmission of multiple drug resistance(MDR) bacteria and related genes would been a huge risk to food safety. Bull antibiotic restrictions policy and programs should be promoted to reduce the selection pressure of antibiotics, and the safety evaluation of the edible strains should been strengthened.

Six strains LAB with inhibitory activity to QS of A. hydrophila were screened from 21 strains LAB by the Oxford cup method. Among them, strain DLH513 isolated from pickled cucumbers in Dalian, Liaoning Province, was showed strong QS inhibition. The degradation rate of crude extract from strain DLH513 on AHLs signal molecular was 51.1%, and its inhibition rate of biofilm was 40.9% at the concentration of 16.0 mg/mL. Moreover, it completely degraded AHLs at the mass concentration of 20.0 mg/mL. The inhibitory effects of the crude extracts treated by different proteases on quorum sensing of A. hydrophila was loss, indicating that the crude extract had protein properties. When the crude extract treated at 40~121 ℃ for 30 min, it still had QS inhibition effect, indicating that the crude extract had heat resistance. In the pH range of 3.0 to 4.5, the crude extract of strain DLH513 had QS inhibition effect, it indicated that the crude extract was stable under acidic conditions. The results of light and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the crude extract of strain DLH513 inhibited the formation of A. hydrophila biofilms. The strain DLH513 was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum by physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The study indicated that Lb. plantarum DLH513 can be used as a QS inhibitor for controlling gram-negative bacteria. It will provide fundamental basis for the development of a novel QS inhibitor for controlling gram-negative bacteria caused food spoilage and food-borne diseases.

      Abstract:In this study, a systemic screening for lactic acid bacteria with antimicrobial activity, from fermented Tofu against common food-borne pathogens was conducted. Four out of sixty-four isolates with antimicrobial activity against all the indicators (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus) were obtained, and they were identified as Lactococcus lactis(named after DH2002 and DH2004), Enterococcus faecalis(named after DH2001) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (named after DH2003) based on the results of 16S rDNA sequence and physiological and biochemical analysis. The bacteriocins produced by those four lactic acid bacteria had the typical bacteriocin traits, such as being of heat-stable and proteinase nature. Meanwhile, their inhibition spectrum contained many distantly related genera of Firmicutes, comprising most lactic acid bacteria as well as problematic species of Bacillus, Listeria, and Staphylococcus. However, no activity against Gram-negative bacteria was found. In addition, the model of actions of those bacteriocin producers was determined by using the partial purified bacteriocin against S. aureus. The results showed that DH2001 and DH2002 had bactericide activity, while DH2003 had bacteriostatic activity against S. aureus.

      Abstract:Objective: The researches show that newborns carry a large number of bacteria from the moment they were born. And delivery mode is an important factor influencing the establishment of the gut microbiota in infancy. However, most studies just analyzed the effect of different delivery mode on the structure of gut microbiota in newborns, the studies on quantification of neonatal gut microbiota are rare, and there is no report on the correlation between maternal childbearing age and neonatal gut microbiota. Methods: the neonatal meconium samples were studies from 14 infants, the total number of bacteria and core microbiota such as Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Clostridium, Prevotella, Streptococcus, Lactococcus, Enterococcus and Escherichia coli in meconium were quantified using the droplet digital PCR. Results: There was a significant difference in the total number of bacteria present in the gut microbiota of infants with different delivery modes (P<0.05). The amounts of Enterobacteriaceae and Lactobacillus in the infants who were given birth naturally were significantly higher than those underwent caesarean section (P<0.05), indicating that delivery mode affects the transmission of microbes from mother to infant. In addition, the amounts of Streptococcus in the meconium of infant who given birth from the elder mother was significantly higher than those from the young mother (P<0.05). Conclusion: The maternal childbearing age and delivery mode affect the transmission of microbes from mother to infant. Droplet digital PCR technology has the advantage of high sensitivity, which can be used for quantitative detection of intestinal microbiota in newborn infants.

      Abstract:A novel immunochromatic method for rapid detection of C. sakazakii was established in this paper. Antibody-modified magnetic beads (MNPs-IgG) were used as capture probes to separate and enrich C. sakazakii, which were then bound to biotin-labeled C. sakazakii antibody (Biotin-IgG) and avidin-peroxidase (Avidin-HRP). The resulting complex can react with the substrate 3,3', 5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). After the termination of the sulfuric acid, a linear relationship between the glucose concentration and the logarithm of the C. sakazakii concentration is obtained in the concentration range from 103-107 CFU/mL, and the regression equation is y=0.2353x-0.2307. In this study, a new method based on colorimetric determination of C. sakazakii was successfully designed and optimized. The LOD of 8.68×102 CFU/mL is calculated according to the IUPAC definition (S/N=3) and a spiked sample detection rate of 96%. The detection time does not exceed 2.5 h, which provides theoretical support for practical application and commercialization.

      Abstract:In this study, a colorimetric biosensor based on DNA-stabilized silver nanoparticles (DNA-AgNPs) has been developed for highly sensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide and glucose levels in pear juice. DNA-AgNPs were synthesized by reduction of AgNO3 with NaBH4 under protecting of random oligonucleotide. The DNA-AgNPs has a characteristic absorption peak located at 424 nm. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide or glucose / glucose oxidase, DNA-AgNPs could be etched into smaller particles with decreasing absorbance. The solution color correspondingly changed with concentration of hydrogen peroxide or glucose, which could be directly distinguish by naked eyes. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) towards hydrogen peroxide and glucose reached as low as 0.36 μmol/L and 1.13 μmol/L (S/N=3) respectively. The potential application of the developed biosensing system was evaluated with peach juice as real sample. The provided strategy could serve as a prototype for developing assays in food analysis.

      Abstract:The suitability of hyperspectral imaging technology combined with chemometrics was investigated to determine the moisture content of dried oysters. The moisture content not only affects the storage of scallops, but also is closely related to the quality characteristics such as texture and texture. In this experiment, a hyperspectral imaging system was used to collect hyperspectral images in the range of 400 to 1 100 nm. A total of 100 oysters samples of hyperspectral images in 5 different drying stages were collected. The average spectral data of all the regions of interest of the sample are extracted, and the original spectral data is subjected to multi-dimensional scatter correction (MSC) and convolution smoothing (S-G) for preprocessing, and eight characteristic wavelengths are extracted by a correlation coefficient method. Based on the extracted characteristic wavelengths, multivariate linear regression(MLR) and BP neural network models of spectral data and moisture content were established. The results show that both models have achieved good prediction results. The correlation coefficient between the correction set, prediction set and cross-validation set of MLR model are lower than that of BP neural network, but from the analysis of RMSEC, RMSEP and RMSECV, the effect of BP neural network are better than that of MLR. The results show that hyperspectral imaging techniques combined with chemometric methods can be used to detect the moisture content of oysters during drying.
