The impact of stress during the preparation of the fish-based dish using the sous-vide technique on the virulence potential and resistance profile was determined geno- and phenotypically. The study was conducted at four different temperatures, that are typical for fish preparation (42, 52, 57 and 60 °C) showing that none of them could be effective against L. <em>monocytogenes.</em> In addition, the investigation of changes in the virulence, phenotypic antibiotic resistance and gene expression showed that the stress during the preparation of sous-vide decrease virulence potential of the L. <em>monocytogenes</em> strains. It was observed that the greatest changes in antibiotic resistance profile were noted for tetracycline and notable changes were also observed for some strains in the case of fosfomycin and ciprofloxacin.

However, extremely low aqueous solubility and poor bioaccessibility of vitexin greatly limits its application. In this study, phytosome technology was applied to improve these limitations using soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EPC) as carrier agents. The effect of types of carrier agents and ratios of vitexin to carrier agent on the physicochemical properties, solubility, and thermal stability of vitexin-loaded phytosomes was investigated. The phytosome produced using EPC showed high encapsulation yield of 97.60%, encapsulation efficiency of 98.27%, solubility of 89.15%, total phenolic content (TPC) of 114.44 mg GAE/g phytosome, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of 15.77 mmol Trolox/g phytosome and DPPH radical scavenging activity of 9.49 mmol Trolox/g phytosome. The phytosomal preparations using the ratio of vitexin to EPC of 1:3 could improve physical and chemical properties of vitexin-loaded phytosomes. Furthermore, phytosome technology could promote greater bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity of vitexin under thermal and simulated gastrointestinal digestion conditions compared to unprocessed vitexin.
