Results showed that Souro had high content of protein (51 ± 0.16%,) and total lipid was 11.18 ± 0.38%. Most of isolates were able to produce protease and amylase. From the best potential probiotic isolates, 16S rRNA gene sequencing disclosed Lactobacillus plantarum, L. hilgardii, L. casei, L. fermentum and Weissella paramesenteroides.

The extensive use of antibiotics to minimize the microbial contamination further results in the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. Moreover, some of the decontamination methods frequently used in the food industry cannot be directly applied to fresh fruits and vegetables, and RTE meals. Therefore, efforts are being made by researchers in developing a new approach so as to control the bacterial contamination. Consequently, bacteriophages have evolved as the safe, green, effective and natural alternative for treatment and complete destruction of pathogens in food industry. The review provides a general description about bacteriophages and has mainly focused on their potential use as antimicrobials during the postharvest processing of foods. Numerous research papers, review papers, book chapters and other relevant literature was used for writing this review paper.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77104695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So burger shelf life was extended by 18 days with the combination of MAP packaging with thyme EO.

The physical properties and chemical composition of the jujube fruit significantly changed depending on the maturation stage. The size and weight of the jujube fruits increased, and the peel color changed from green to red with the maturation. The content of water-soluble vitamins, trans-resveratrol, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of the jujube fruits decreased during the maturation. The trans-resveratrol content of the jujube fruits was investigated for the first time and no trans-resveratrol content could be detected at red maturation stage. The major organic acid and sugar at the red maturation stage were found to be malic acid and sucrose, respectively. The phenolic composition also changed, but these changes showed unstable trend during the maturation. The major phenolic compound was catechin at the green maturation stage, whereas chlorogenic acid dominated at the red maturation stage. The jujube fruit is rich in minerals especially potassium and no changes in the mineral contents except for copper was observed between green and red maturation stages.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91127868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the intrinsic glutaminase activity is responsible for significant life-threatening adverse effects. Therefore, glutaminase-free L-asparaginase is far required to improve the therapeutic efficacy of L-asparaginase treatment. L-asparaginase was also used to combat the development of acrylamide in foods rich in carbohydrates cooked at high temperatures. Therefore, this study explores the purification and characterization of glutaminase-free L-asparaginase from Trichoderma viride F2 using agro-industrial residues as substrate. The enzyme was purified 36-folds with 688.1 U/mg specific activity and a final yield of 38.9% through ethanol precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 followed by Sephadex G-200. The purified L-asparaginase is monomeric with a molecular mass of 57 kDa and exhibited optimum activity at pH 7.5 and 37 °C, which is relatively close to the human body's internal environment. The purified L-asparaginase showed high affinity and catalytic efficiency towards its natural substrate L-asparagine with Km and Vmax of 1.2 mM and 71.3 U/mL, respectively, and did not exhibit any intrinsic glutaminase activity. Among the salts tested, the univalent cations Na+ and K+ enhanced the activity by 145.7% and 163.5%, respectively, while the presence of Ag+ and Fe+3 displayed a considerable loss in activity. The enzyme showed a good anti-oxidant activity with IC50 of 66.1μg/mL and was able to convert L-asparagine exist in potatoes to L-aspartic acid and ammonia, suggesting its use as anti-carcinogenic agent and as potential food industry candidate to mitigate acrylamide content in starchy fried food.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85406551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated the detailed taxonomic description of 31 species that are dominant or less dominant over these contaminated area.

Nine species was less dominant in the outlet of HCL that belonged to the medium contaminated and only 5 species were dominant over the low copper contaminated area. Physico-chemical parameters like pH, air and water temperature, salinity, conductivity, light extinction coefficient, turbidity, dissolved inorganic salts, dissolved oxygen and carbon-di-oxide, biological oxygen demand and total hardness were also estimated in the copper contaminated sites. Relatively all the species of Cymbella and Navicula were associated with high copper accumulation.
