Abstract
Food spoilage causes significant economic losses and endangers human health. Developing novel antimicrobial agents and preservatives is urgently needed for anti-foodborne diseases and improving food storage. Zhen Zhu Cai (Lysimachia) species are well-known edible plants among the East Asian populace that clear heat and anti-aging. Here, 70 fractions of ten Lysimachia species were compared, among which the bioactive fraction (KBZZC-05) was characterized and isolated to evaluate its antimicrobial activity, and compounds 21 and 23 were obtained under bioactive guidance. The KBZZC-05, 21, and 23 inhibited both spoilage organisms and foodborne pathogens (MICs = 2-256 μg/mL) better than potassium sorbate (MIC >256 μg/mL). It removed biofilms, causing surface morphology changes in bacteria. Additionally, KBZZC-05 (128 μg/mL) extended food shelf life through its antioxidant (P < 0.01 vs CK) and resistance to spoilage microorganisms. This study indicates that bioactive KBZZC-05 is a potentially non-toxic and eco-friendly botanical microbicide and preservative that can be used to treat foodborne diseases and for food storage.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
