Validation of Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 as a Surrogate for Listeria on Apples During Cold Storage and Gaseous Ozone Treatments
Listeria monocytogenes poses a serious food safety risk due to its ability to survive and grow on produce during cold storage. This study evaluates Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 as a nonpathogenic surrogate for L. monocytogenes during up to 24 weeks of simulated lab storage and 36 weeks of commercial storage, including refrigerated air (RA), controlled atmosphere (CA), CA with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), with or without gaseous ozone treatment. Results indicate that E. faecium exhibited die-off patterns comparable to L. monocytogenes, with 2.7–2.8 log CFU/apple reduction during 18 weeks of ambient storage, 2.7–2.8 log reduction over 24 weeks at 4 °C, and 3.2–3.5 log reduction after 36 weeks of RA and CA storage. E. faecium exhibited greater stability under CA storage with ozone treatment. These findings suggest that E. faecium NRRL B-2354 is a suitable surrogate for L. monocytogenes in cold storage environments. A 24-week low-dose continuous gaseous ozone application followed by 12 weeks of CA storage resulted in ∼5 log CFU/apple reduction of Listeria, reflecting both the treatment effects and natural die-off under CA storage. These results demonstrate gaseous ozone as a viable intervention strategy for Listeria control during commercial storage and support the use of E. faecium NRRL B-2354 in validating cold storage practices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Protection® (JFP) is an international, monthly scientific journal in the English language published by the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP). JFP publishes research and review articles on all aspects of food protection and safety. Major emphases of JFP are placed on studies dealing with:
Tracking, detecting (including traditional, molecular, and real-time), inactivating, and controlling food-related hazards, including microorganisms (including antibiotic resistance), microbial (mycotoxins, seafood toxins) and non-microbial toxins (heavy metals, pesticides, veterinary drug residues, migrants from food packaging, and processing contaminants), allergens and pests (insects, rodents) in human food, pet food and animal feed throughout the food chain;
Microbiological food quality and traditional/novel methods to assay microbiological food quality;
Prevention of food-related hazards and food spoilage through food preservatives and thermal/non-thermal processes, including process validation;
Food fermentations and food-related probiotics;
Safe food handling practices during pre-harvest, harvest, post-harvest, distribution and consumption, including food safety education for retailers, foodservice, and consumers;
Risk assessments for food-related hazards;
Economic impact of food-related hazards, foodborne illness, food loss, food spoilage, and adulterated foods;
Food fraud, food authentication, food defense, and foodborne disease outbreak investigations.
