    Notes: Ninety samples of maize, chick-peas and groundnut seeds collected from the Egyptian market were found to be heavily contaminated by molds. Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Eurotium, Fusarium, Mucor, Penicillium and Rhizopus were the most common fungal genera isolated from nondisinfected seeds. Aspergillus alutaceus, A. flavus, Fusarium verticillioides and F. oxysporum were isolated from all surface-disinfected seeds and were reported to produce ochratoxin A, aflatoxin B1 and zearalenone, respectively. Irradiation at a dose 4.0 kGy reduced the mold growth greatly relative to unirradiated controls. There was no growth at dose 5.0 kGy. On the basis of the radiation survival data, the decimal reduction values D10 for A. alutaceus, A. flavus and F. verticilliodies were 0.70. 2.10 and 0.93 kGy in maize. A dose of 5 kGy inhibited the toxigenic molds and mycotoxin formation in seeds. Aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A were detected in maize and chick-peas, whereas zearalenone was detected in maize samples. Application of radiation at a dose of 6.0 kGy detoxified aflatoxin B1 by 74.3–76.7%, ochratoxin A by 51.3–96.2% and zearalenone by about 78%.

    Notes: Fresh-cut cantalcupe has been recalled due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Several studies have reported that naturally occurring microflora of vegetable surfaces may be antagonistic to pathogen attachment, growth or survival. To test this possibility for L. monocytogenes and cantaloupes, whole melon were treated with water, ethanol (70%) or chlorine (200 ppm) to reduce the native microflora on the melon surfaces. Treated or untreated melons were immersed in a six strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes (107 CFU/mL) for 10 min and then allowed to dry for 1 h inside a biosafety cabinet followed by storage at 5, 10 and 20C for 15 days. Fresh-cut pieces prepared from the treated or untreated melons and directly inoculated with L. monocytogenes (3.48 log CFU/g) were stored under the same conditions listed above. Populations of L. monocytogenes and five classes of native microflora were investigated. Growth of L. monocytogenes in sterile or nonsterile rind and fresh-cut homogenates was also studied. The population of L. monocytogenes recovered from inoculated (103 to 108 CFU/mL) whole melons given no disinfection treatment or washed with water was significantly less (P 〈 0.05) than that recovered from melons treated with chlorine or EtOH. In general, populations of L. monocytogenes declined on the surface of treated and untreated whole melons and on fresh-cut pieces over the 15 days storage period at the temperatures tested. However, the decline in pathogen populations was less rapid in the presence of reduced populations of native microflora. Higher populations of L. monocytogenes were attained in sterile tissue homogenates than in nonsterile homogenates. Addition of yeast and mold to sterile rind homogenates was highly inhibitory to growth and survival of the pathogen. The results of this study indicate that native microflora of whole cantaloupe inhibited attachment to rind surfaces as well as survival and growth of L. monocytogenes on cantaloupe surfaces and homogenized fresh-cut pieces. Thus, L. monocytogenes recontamination of melons having a reduced level of native microflora following application of a disinfection treatment may be a food safety concern.

    Notes: Streptococcus pyogenes is widely recognized as a human pathogen. Whereas person-to-person transmission is the most common transmission mechanism for this pathogen, some outbreaks of S. pyogenes disease have been reported to occur in association with consumption of contaminated foods such as shrimp or potato salads. In this study, the behavior of S. pyogenes was studied in mashed potatoes as a function of storage temperature, types and amount of background biota and type of ingredients. Combined mashed potatoes (potatoes, butter, milk, egg and table salt) or plain mashed potatoes (potatoes only) were inoculated with a 5-strain cocktail of S. pyogenes and stored at 7, 25, 35 or 37C. At intervals during storage, samples were collected for counting S. pyogenes in blood agar plates or blood agar added with sodium azide, polymyxin and crystal violet. Mashed potatoes obtained from fast-food restaurants were used to determine the fate of S. pyogenes as affected by changes in aerobic mesophiles, coliform and lactic acid bacteria counts. S. pyogenes was able to survive in mashed potatoes stored at 7C and to grow in mashed potatoes stored at 25 or 37C with lag phase lengths of 3 and 2 h and generation times of 26.0 and 25.3 min, respectively. The generation time of S. pyogenes in plain mashed potatoes was 30.7 min at 35 C. Presence of active background biota at 2–3 log10 CFU/g concentrations did not prevent growth of S. pyogenes when stored at 35C. These results contribute to a better understanding of the potential for S. pyogenes to cause foodborne outbreaks.

    Notes: Survival of stationary phase Listeria innocua (as surrogate microorganism for L. monocytogenes) inoculated in apple juice (pH 3.3 or 3.8) supplemented with vanillin (1,500 ppm or 3,000 ppm) or potassium sorbate (500 ppm or 1,000 ppm) and stored at room temperature was studied. L. innocua survived in apple juice without the preservatives at pH 3.3 or 3.8, with minimal population reductions. In the juices with the incorporation of potassium sorbate or vanillin, L. innocua behavior depended on the pH value, the type of antimicrobial and its concentration. At pH 3.3, the presence of vanillin (3,000 ppm) or potassium sorbate (1,000 ppm or 500 ppm) decreased L. innocua counts, with population reductions ranging from 4 to 5 log cycles after a 4 h – 8 h exposure at 30C. However, at pH 3.8, L. innocua showed sensitivity only to 3,000 ppm vanillin. Survival curves were successfully fitted using a Weibull type distribution of resistances. The results suggest that the use of potassium sorbate or vanillin could prevent the survival of L. innocua in contaminated unpasteurized and pasteurized apple juice. Vanillin, a natural antimicrobial, would be particularly suitable as an antilisterial additive for less acidic apple juice.

    Notes: To monitor the bacteriological quality of raw milk and raw milk farm products, 143 samples of raw farm milk and 100 samples of raw milk farm products, 64 butters, 9 yogurts, 16 cheeses, 7 ice creams and 4 fresh cheeses, produced in Belgium were examined for coliforms, β-glucuronidase positive Escherichia coli, verotoxin producing Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes. The results were compared with the threshold and maximum values of the EC directive 92/46/EC or the maximum values of the Belgian Order of Council from September 3, 2000. The presence of staphylococcal enterotoxins was investigated on samples with S. aureus counts higher than the legal threshold values mentioned in the EC directive or, if not regulated in the directive, higher than the maximum value mentioned in the Belgian Order of Council. The obtained results for the hygiene-indicators coliforms, β-glucuronidase positive E. coli and S. aureus in the raw milk samples were comparable with most other industrialized countries. Compared to a prevalence of 0.7% and 6.3% for, respectively, E. coli O157 and L. monocytogenes, no Salmonella was found in the 25 g raw milk farm samples. The isolated E. coli O157 strain was confirmed to be verotoxigenic; it was positive for VT2, eaeA and hlyA. In butter not only a prevalence of 18.7% for L. monocytogenes in 25 g was found but also the maximum values for the hygiene-indicators mentioned in the Belgian Order of Council were often exceeded. No significant difference was found between the count of hygiene-indicators and the presence of Listeria spp. as well in raw milk as in raw milk butter. The bacteriological quality of on-farm made raw milk butter suggest that suitable hygienic conditions are not always provided. One of the 7 ice cream samples contained L. monocytogenes in 25 g.

    Notes: Consumption of chicken products has been increasing. Most of these products in Finland are sold as fresh marinated pieces in consumer packages. The impact of marination on the survival of enteric pathogens is not known. We studied the survival of Campylobacter jejuni on marinated chicken drumsticks and sliced breast strips stored at a refrigerator temperature of +4C. The marinade was an emulsion of vegetable oil and water with spices, NaCl (5.9% wt/wt) and its pH was adjusted to 4.5 with lactic and acetic acid. The survival of C. jejuni was similar in marinated and nonmarinated chicken drumsticks and strips. The organisms were detected for at least nine days at the higher inoculum level (101– 102 CFU/mL) and for at least five days at the lower inoculum level (101– 102 CFU/mL). C. jejuni, inoculated into plain marinade and stored at 4C, was detected after 24 h but not after 48 h. Our results revealed that marination procedure used to reduce and prevent the growth of spoilage organisms does not significantly decrease the survival of Campylobacter jejuni in chicken products.

    Notes: The heat resistance of a Salmonella composite of serotypes Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Montevideo, Mbandaka, Heidelberg and Thompson was evaluated in ground chicken breast meat using an end-point procedure in pouches. A 7D process for Salmonella in chicken was approximately 3 s at 160F (71.1C) with a z-value of 10.3F (5.7C). The data presented here may help cooked chicken products manufacturers design safe processes that meet the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service performance standard.

    Notes: Fourteen fungal species belonging to five genera, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Fusarium and Scoplariopsis were isolated from the surface of mango fruits, (Mangifera indica L.) variety “Zebda”. Mycotoxin production by isolated molds was tested in Czapek-Dox broth as well as mango pulp. The irradiation decimal reduction doses (D10 values) of the molds were determined in either physiological saline solution or mango pulp. The effects of ionizing radiation in combination with hot water-dipping (55C/5 min) on shelf-life extension and the microbiological, chemical, rheological and organoleptic properties of mango fruit (at mature green stage) stored at 12°C and 80–85% relative humidity were determined. Results showed that Zebda mango irradiated with doses of 1.0 kGy can be stored 50 days at 12°C without any undesirable changes to measured nutrient and sensory quality when compared to unirradiated mangoes refrigerated for 25 days.

    Notes: Foodborne pathogens often tolerate and survive environmental stress conditions including extreme acidity to varying degrees. One possible reason for this survival may be the production of protective stress proteins during acid shock (ASR) and/or tolerance (ATR) responses. The ASR and ATR of Listeria monocytogenes strains V7, V37 and CA in tryptic soy broth without dextrose acidified with lactic acid were studied. Possible cross-protection of acid adapted cells against an activated lactoperoxidase system was also determined. The strains were either directly challenged at pH 4.0 and 3.5 to study their ASR or initially adapted at pH 5.5 for the equivalent of 1 generation before challenging at pH 4.0 and 3.5 to study their ATR. Adapted and nonadapted cells were challenged at pH 4.5 with or without an activated lactoperoxidase system. In all cases viability was determined by enumeration over a period of 24 or 48 h after challenge and the production of stress proteins analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. While there were some differences in the survival responses for each strain, the acid adapted cells of each strain survived to a greater degree than nonadapted cells at both pH 4.0 (at least 10 fold at 24 h) and pH 3.5 (at least 1000 fold at 6 h) but not at pH 4.5. The acid adapted cells exposed to the lactoperoxidase system survived better (at least 5-fold) than their nonadapted counterparts for all 3 strains at 24 and 48 h. The 2-dimensional gel analysis for all 3 strains showed that the adapted and nonadapted cells underwent a change in their physiology, (at pH 4.0 compared to the control at pH 7.0; at pH 4.5 with the addition of lactoperoxidase system components) in that there was induction as well as repression of several proteins.

    Notes: Reaction Time (RT) procedures are widely used in cognitive and behavioral experiments. In the sensory realm RT has been traditionally applied to measure visual, auditory or motor responses. The application of the RT method to gustatory stimuli has proved to be difficult. Attempts to develop automatic control techniques have been restrained by difficulties related to the control of variables, e.g. physiochemical characteristics of chemical solutions and the procedure for stimulus presentation. In this report we describe a computer based system that was designed to measure the reaction time to taste solutions dropped on the tongue. The equipment consists of a pumping system, an interface between the computer and the pumping system, the software required to control the interface and to measure reaction time, and a push button to detect the subject's response. The system can be used as a tool for both research and evaluation tests.
