Latilactobacillus sakei ACU-2 and Staphylococcus vitulinus ACU-10 comprised the autochthonous starter culture SAS-1 designed for the manufacture of dry sausages. This study evaluated the use of yacon juice as a potential growth medium and cryoprotectant for these bacteria. The growth medium was prepared with yacon juice supplemented with peptone and dipotassium phosphate. After growing, cells were resuspended in yacon juice (5, 10 and 25 mL/100 mL) and lyophilized. Viable cells were count before, immediately after lyophilization, and along 6 months of refrigerated storage. Both bacteria grew in every yacon concentration tested; however, juice concentration affected their growth. Latilactobacillus sakei grew at μ = 0.256 ± 0.01 giving the highest bacterial density at 10 mL/100 mL (Log DOmax 0.33 ± 0.01). While 5 mL/100 mL yacon juice provided the best conditions for S. vitulinus growth (μ = 0.215 ± 0.016; Log DOmax 0.32 ± 0.01). After lyophilization, the survival rate was 91.1% for L. sakei and 65.8% for S. vitulinus. Throughout storage, high cell counts suggested good stability of both bacteria. Results revealed that yacon juice comprises a nutritive substrate for the growth and cryopreservation of tested strains from the genus Latilactobacillus and Staphylococcus.","PeriodicalId":9112,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Food Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67142432","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, identifying adulteration in juice is a great challenge and requires a reliable analytical process. The isotope ratio (18O/16O) is an important tool to determine the addition of exogenous water in beverages, however, there is no official method for juice in Brazil. This study aimed to develop and validate a method for detecting exogenous water in grape juice through isotopic analysis of 18O/16O. The development and validation of the analytical method were performed using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS). The effect of temperature and evaporation of δ18O in experimental juices was evaluated, and reference values were found for juices based on the δ 18O of musts. The influence of the juice industrial production process on 18O values was verified, and commercial juices were evaluated in relation to the values of reference regarding the addition of water. The temperature and evaporation parameters did not influence the results of the 18O of the juice, as they presented differences lower than the method uncertainty. The heat exchanger system did not influence the proposed method. The reference values for juice can come from the musts, without affecting the interpretation of the final results. Of the thirty real juices analyzed, nine had exogenous water, three proved to be reconstituted juices and eighteen were considered to have no exogenous water. The method proposed and validated in this study presented values for the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.24‰, the limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.97‰ and measurement uncertainty of 0.71‰, proving to be effective for the detection of exogenous water in grape juice, through of the analysis of the isotopic ratio of 18O/16O by IRMS.","PeriodicalId":9112,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Food Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67145052","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}

In a three-month period, 84 samples (n = 42 per group) were collected for microbiological analysis from the feet-cutter disc with an operational self-washing process with Non-Heated Water (NHW) and Heated Water (HW). The logarithmic counts of Mesophilic Aerobics, Sulphite-Reducing Clostridia (SRC), Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the NHW group were 1.82, 0.56, 0.31 and 0.14 Log 10 CFU/cm 2 , respectively, whereas in the HW group were 1.17, 0.04, 0.15 and 0.08 Log 10 CFU/cm 2 . Salmonella spp. was absent in all evaluated samples in both groups. The heated-water system reduced bacterial count, but statistical differences were solely observed for Mesophilic Aerobics and SRC. Nevertheless, its usage could be an additive in the operational procedure to avoid microbiological violations of food safety, in addition to being easy-to-implement and affordable for the industry.","PeriodicalId":9112,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Food Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67139995","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}
