CGA + UVA treatment was superiorin reducing bacterial survival than either treatment alone. At 20 J/cm<sup>2</sup> and pH 7, CGA (0.3%) + UVA treatment resulted in only about a 3-log reduction in bacterial survival, whereas at 15 J/cm<sup>2</sup> and pH 3, no surviving bacteria could be detected, demostrating that the treatment was more effective at acidic pH. CGA + UVA treatment was also bactericidal in green plum juice, confirming that its low pH-dependent property could be effective in acidic food products. To elucidate the bactericidal mechanism of CGA + UVA treatment, its effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, membrane integrity, and enzyme activity were measured. ROS generated via the type-1 reaction, such as hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), were mainly detected. CGA + UVA disrupted the bacterial cell membrane, causing the leakage of cellular components, particularly proteins. CGA + UVA treatment also led to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) degradation and reduced succinate-coenzyme Q reductase activity by approximately 72 %. Furthermore, CGA + UVA treatment decreased β-lactamase activity and plasmid transforming efficacy with maximal reductions of 68 % and 98 %, respectively, highlighting its potential for increasing antibiotic susceptibility and preventing the spread of antimicrobial resistance. The results demonstrate that CGA + UVA treatment could be used to effectively combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria and prevent the spoilage of preserved foods or food poisoning.</p>","PeriodicalId":94010,"journal":{"name":"Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)","volume":"196 ","pages":"115132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142756061","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}

The aim of this study was thus to obtain phenolic extracts from the soluble fraction (free, esterified, and etherified) of murtilla pomace as well from the counterpart that contains insoluble-bound compounds, and evaluate their antioxidant properties. The fraction obtained from the insoluble-bound form (insoluble-bound phenolic hydrolysates) showed the highest total phenolic content, reducing power and antioxidant capacity, as evaluated by the FRAP and ORAC assay, respectively. The results revealed the presence of different compounds in each fraction, highlighting important levels of phenolic acids (e.g., gallic acid) and flavonoids (e.g., quercetin and its derivatives) as evaluated by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The most prominent fraction (released from the insoluble-bound form) exhibited antioxidant activity (in concentrations as low as 0.0025 μM of total phenolic acids and 0.0002 μM of total flavonoids) in Caco-2 cells. The necessary concentration of quercetin to protect Caco-2 cells against the hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress was twenty times lower than the concentration needed for gallic acid to exert the same level of antioxidant protection.

However, to date, no study has precisely analyzed the commercial components of FBS, and this study is the first to compare the chemical composition of FBS and commercially available horse serum purchased from the United States or Europe with that of FBS substitutes developed by our team. This study analyzed the chemical composition of the FBS products purchased by our team over the past 3 years via blood, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and independent composition analyses. While the composition and quality of commercial FBS products are known to vary, the FBS composition of our purchased products was relatively uniform regardless of company, brand, or country of origin. In contrast, FBS substitutes obtained from three major livestock species (cattle, pig, and chicken) clearly exhibited differences in composition, a phenomenon that was also observed upon comparing with FBS as well as among different species. Therefore, to replace commercial FBS entirely, the production of a proportionately effective substitute product comprising an equal or similar composition is required, and the results of this study can be a steppingstone to achieving this.
