Abstract
Despite regulations set up to monitor the microbiological quality of shellfish in producing areas, shellfish-borne gastroenteritis outbreaks still occur. Indeed, oyster depuration practices that are efficient to eliminate bacteria, fail to eliminate human norovirus from oyster flesh. In order to evaluate the impact of seawater temperature on the elimination of norovirus particles from oysters, large batches of oysters were contaminated using raw sewage containing norovirus and subjected to depuration at 8°C or 18°C. Over the experiment, quantitative RT-qPCR showed a one-log decrease of norovirus (both genogroups combined) genome copies per gram of digestive tissue after 41 days for oysters depurated at 8°C and 24 days at 18°C. The decrease of norovirus (both genogroups combined) in two batches of field-contaminated oysters depurated for two weeks at 18°C was in the same range (21 and 23 days respectively). All experiments showed a difference in genomic decay between the two norovirus genogroups, with norovirus genogroup I being more persistent in March/April compared to April/May.
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.
