After preparing mesoporous silica nanoparticles-NH₂ (MSNsN) and encapsulating CLPs, the characterization analysis showed that the interaction between CLPs and MSNsN enhanced the crystal structure of CLPs-MSNsN. The antimicrobial activity and antioxidant capacity of CLPs-MSNsN stored at 20 °C and 45 °C were decreased more slowly than those of free CLPs with increasing storage time, indicating the enhancement of the antimicrobial and antioxidant stability of CLPs. Moreover, the field control efficacy of long-term stored CLPs-MSNsN only decreased from 78.66% to 63.2%, but the efficacy of free CLPs decreased significantly from 84.34% to 26.01%. The deoxynivalenol (DON) content of wheat grains in the CLPs-MSNsN treatment group was lower than that in the free CLPs treatment group, which showed that long-term stored CLPs-MSNsN reduced the DON content in wheat grains. Further analysis of the action mechanism of CLPs-MSNsN on <em>F. graminearum</em> showed that CLPs-MSNsN could disrupt mycelial morphology, cause cell apoptosis, lead to the leakage of proteins and nucleic acids, and destroy the cell permeability of mycelia.

While molecular methods are commonly used in viral foodborne outbreak investigations due to their sensitivity, specificity and rapidity, there are very few methods to detect infectious tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in milk products for routine use/analyses. To address this gap, we developed a cell culture-based method to detect infectious TBEV in artificially contaminated raw goat milk and raw goat cheese, and evaluated the sensitivity of TBEV infectivity assays. Raw goat milk samples were spiked with TBEV to achieve inoculation levels ranging from 10⁶ to 10⁰ TCID₅₀/mL, and <em>Fais</em><em>s</em><em>elle</em> and <em>Tomme</em> cheese samples were spiked so their TBEV concentrations ranged from 9.28 × 10⁵ to 9.28 × 10¹ TCID₅₀ per 2.5g. To detect infectious TBEV, Vero cells were infected by raw goat milk. For cheese samples, after homogenisation and membrane filtration, Vero cells were infected with samples adsorbed on the filter (method A) or with samples eluted from the filter (method B). After 5 days, cytopathic effects (CPEs) were observed and TBEV replication in Vero cells was confirmed by an increase in the number of genome copies/mL that were detected in cell supernatant. Infected Vero cells exhibited CPEs for both milk and cheese samples. Infectious TBEV was detected to 10³ TCID₅₀/mL in raw milk samples and to 9.28 × 10¹ TCID₅₀ from <em>Fais</em><em>s</em><em>elle</em> samples using both methods A and B. For <em>Tomme</em> samples, method A was able to detect TBEV to 9.28 × 10² TCID₅₀/2.5g and method B to 9.28 × 10³ TCID₅₀/2.5g. The number of positive samples detected was slightly higher with method A than with method B. To conclude, this qualitative cell culture-based method can detect infectious TBEV artificially inoculated into raw milk and cheese; it should be further evaluated during foodborne outbreak investigations to detect infectious TBEV from naturally contaminated milk and cheese.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12399,"journal":{"name":"Food microbiology","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 104619"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142049551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These two genera exert a significant influence on the formation of characteristic aromas. Furthermore, we discovered that acids, sugars, and proteins pivotally influence the succession of microorganisms.

To investigate the presence of <em>Salmonella</em> spp., 285 food samples (75 meat, 50 seafood, and 160 leafy green vegetable samples) were randomly collected from various local markets in Phnom Penh capital and nearby farms in Cambodia.

All food samples were analyzed using bacterial culture and plate counts, and the findings were confirmed serially with biochemical, serological, and PCR tests. The observational data on food hygiene and practices from farm to market revealed that the spread of <em>Salmonella</em> in the food-value chain from farm to market could pose health risks to consumers. The overall prevalence of <em>Salmonella</em> spp. was 48.4% (138/285), while the prevalence in meat, seafood, and vegetables was 71% (53/75), 64% (32/50), and 33% (53/160), respectively.
