This study aimed to assess the bacterial microbiota involved in the spoilage of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamics), patinga (female Piaractus mesopotamics x male Piaractus brachypomus), and tambacu (female Colossoma macropomum × male Piaractus mesopotamics) during ice and frozen storage. Changes in the microbiota of three fish species (N = 22) during storage were studied through 16S rRNA amplicon-based sequencing and correlated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metabolites assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Storage conditions (time and temperature) affected the microbiota diversity in all fish samples. Fish microbiota comprised mainly of Pseudomonas sp., Brochothrix sp., Acinetobacter sp., Bacillus sp., Lactiplantibacillus sp., Kocuria sp., and Enterococcus sp. The relative abundance of Kocuria, P. fragi, L. plantarum, Enterococcus, and Acinetobacter was positively correlated with the metabolic pathways of ether lipid metabolism while B. thermosphacta and P. fragi were correlated with metabolic pathways involved in amino acid metabolism. P. fragi was the most prevalent spoilage bacteria in both storage conditions (ice and frozen), followed by B. thermosphacta. Moreover, the relative abundance of identified Bacillus strains in fish samples stored in ice was positively correlated with the production of VOCs (1-hexanol, nonanal, octenol, and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) associated with off-flavors. 1H NMR analysis confirmed that amino acids, acetic acid, and ATP degradation products increase over (ice) storage, and therefore considered chemical spoilage index of fish fillets.
本研究旨在评估在冰冻和冷冻贮藏过程中,参与帕库(Piaractus mesopotamics)、帕丁加(雌性 Piaractus mesopotamics x 雄性 Piaractus brachypomus)和坦巴库(雌性 Colossoma macropomum x 雄性 Piaractus mesopotamics)腐败的细菌微生物群。通过 16S rRNA 扩增子测序法研究了三种鱼类(22 条)在贮藏期间微生物群的变化,并将其与核磁共振(NMR)评估的挥发性有机化合物(VOC)和代谢物联系起来。储存条件(时间和温度)影响了所有鱼类样本中微生物群的多样性。鱼类微生物群主要由假单胞菌属、布氏菌属、醋酐菌属、芽孢杆菌属、乳杆菌属、库氏菌属和肠球菌属组成、Kocuria、P. fragi、L. plantarum、Enterococcus 和 Acinetobacter 的相对丰度与醚脂代谢途径呈正相关,而 B. thermosphacta 和 P. fragi 与氨基酸代谢途径相关。在两种储存条件下(冰贮和冷冻),P. fragi 是最常见的腐败细菌,其次是 B. thermosphacta。此外,在冰中储存的鱼类样本中,已确定的芽孢杆菌菌株的相对丰度与与异味相关的挥发性有机化合物(1-己醇、壬醛、辛烯醇和 2-乙基-1-己醇)的产生呈正相关。1H NMR 分析证实,氨基酸、乙酸和 ATP 降解产物在(冰)储存过程中会增加,因此被认为是鱼片的化学腐败指数。

Fusarium graminearum not only causes Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat but also produces fungal toxins that pose a serious threat to food safety. Biological control is one of the safe and most effective alternative methods. In this study, cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) produced from Bacillus mojavensis B1302 were extracted and identified by LC-MS/MS. After preparing mesoporous silica nanoparticles-NH2 (MSNsN) and encapsulating CLPs, the characterization analysis showed that the interaction between CLPs and MSNsN enhanced the crystal structure of CLPs-MSNsN. The antimicrobial activity and antioxidant capacity of CLPs-MSNsN stored at 20 °C and 45 °C were decreased more slowly than those of free CLPs with increasing storage time, indicating the enhancement of the antimicrobial and antioxidant stability of CLPs. Moreover, the field control efficacy of long-term stored CLPs-MSNsN only decreased from 78.66% to 63.2%, but the efficacy of free CLPs decreased significantly from 84.34% to 26.01%. The deoxynivalenol (DON) content of wheat grains in the CLPs-MSNsN treatment group was lower than that in the free CLPs treatment group, which showed that long-term stored CLPs-MSNsN reduced the DON content in wheat grains. Further analysis of the action mechanism of CLPs-MSNsN on F. graminearum showed that CLPs-MSNsN could disrupt mycelial morphology, cause cell apoptosis, lead to the leakage of proteins and nucleic acids, and destroy the cell permeability of mycelia. This work puts a novel insight into the antimicrobial and antioxidant stability enhancement of CLPs-MSNsN through encapsulation and provides a potential fungicide to control F. graminearum, reduce toxins and ensure food safety.

The spoilage of irradiated ready-to-eat chicken feet (RTECF) seriously affects the food's quality, resulting in package swelling and off-flavors, both of which are highly undesirable to stakeholders and consumers. To investigate the spoilage characteristics of irradiated RTECF and the microorganisms responsible for the spoilage and swelling, the changes in physicochemical properties, microbial community, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) between normal and spoiled RTECF were evaluated. Compared with normal samples, the spoiled RTECF showed a higher pH value and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) value, lower color value, and texture features (P < 0.05). Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Lactobacillus, and Candida were the dominant genera responsible for RTECF spoilage as confirmed through both culture-dependent methods and high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The results of the verification for gas-producing strains showed that Lactobacillus brevis could cause RTECF packaging to swell. A total of 20 key VOCs were identified using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). The results of Pearson correlation analysis (|r|>0.8, P < 0.05) showed that 12 dominant core microbial genera had a significant effect on the flavor of RTECF before and after spoilage. This study provides a theoretical reference for solving the problem of RTECF spoilage and improving the overall quality of RTECF products.

Tick-borne encephalitis outbreaks have been reported in Europe after consumption of raw milk products from infected animals. While molecular methods are commonly used in viral foodborne outbreak investigations due to their sensitivity, specificity and rapidity, there are very few methods to detect infectious tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in milk products for routine use/analyses. To address this gap, we developed a cell culture-based method to detect infectious TBEV in artificially contaminated raw goat milk and raw goat cheese, and evaluated the sensitivity of TBEV infectivity assays. Raw goat milk samples were spiked with TBEV to achieve inoculation levels ranging from 106 to 100 TCID50/mL, and Faisselle and Tomme cheese samples were spiked so their TBEV concentrations ranged from 9.28 × 105 to 9.28 × 101 TCID50 per 2.5g. To detect infectious TBEV, Vero cells were infected by raw goat milk. For cheese samples, after homogenisation and membrane filtration, Vero cells were infected with samples adsorbed on the filter (method A) or with samples eluted from the filter (method B). After 5 days, cytopathic effects (CPEs) were observed and TBEV replication in Vero cells was confirmed by an increase in the number of genome copies/mL that were detected in cell supernatant. Infected Vero cells exhibited CPEs for both milk and cheese samples. Infectious TBEV was detected to 103 TCID50/mL in raw milk samples and to 9.28 × 101 TCID50 from Faisselle samples using both methods A and B. For Tomme samples, method A was able to detect TBEV to 9.28 × 102 TCID50/2.5g and method B to 9.28 × 103 TCID50/2.5g. The number of positive samples detected was slightly higher with method A than with method B. To conclude, this qualitative cell culture-based method can detect infectious TBEV artificially inoculated into raw milk and cheese; it should be further evaluated during foodborne outbreak investigations to detect infectious TBEV from naturally contaminated milk and cheese.

Sour bamboo shoots are a traditional fermented delicacy that has garnered appreciation both domestically and internationally. This study investigates the intricate dynamics of microbial communities and volatile flavor compounds primarily derived from salted and pickled bamboo shoots during the fermentation process of Phyllostachys purpurea (PP). The dynamics of microorganisms and volatile flavor compounds were thoroughly examined initially using conventional isolation and cultivation methods in conjunction with high-throughput sequencing (HTS), headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In addition, we analyzed the core microorganisms responsible for modulating the volatile flavor profile. Our findings revealed 60 volatile compounds, 14 of which were the predominant contributors to the aroma of fermented PP. This group primarily comprised alcohols, aldehydes, and olefins. Notably, our investigation identified Lactobacillus and Candida as the dominant microbial genera during the middle and late stages of fermentation. These two genera exert a significant influence on the formation of characteristic aromas. Furthermore, we discovered that acids, sugars, and proteins pivotally influence the succession of microorganisms. Specifically, acids and soluble sugars drove the transition of Lactococcus to Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, whereas soluble proteins facilitated fungal succession from Candida to Kazachstania and Issatchenkia. These insights shed light on the community structure and succession patterns of flavor compounds throughout the PP fermentation process. Ultimately, they provide a foundation for optimizing the fermentation process and ensuring quality control in the production of sour bamboo shoots.

Seeds are important microbial vectors, and seed-associated pathogens can be introduced into a country through trade, resulting in yield and quality losses in agriculture. The aim of this study was to characterize the microbial communities associated with barley seeds, and based on which, to develop technical approaches to trace their geographical origins, and to inspect and identify quarantine pathogens. Our analysis defined the core microbiota of barley seed and revealed significant differences in the barley seed-associated microbial communities among different continents, suggesting a strong geographic specificity of the barley seed microbiota. By implementing a machine learning model, we achieved over 95% accuracy in tracing the origin of barley seeds. Furthermore, the analysis of co-occurrence and exclusion patterns provided important insights into the identification of candidate biocontrol agents or microbial inoculants that could be useful in improving barley yield and quality. A core pathogen database was developed, and a procedure for inspecting potential quarantine species associated with barley seed was established. These approaches proved effective in detecting four fungal and three bacterial quarantine species for the first time in the port of China. This study not only characterized the core microbiota of barley seeds but also provided practical approaches for tracing the regional origin of barley and identifying potential quarantine pathogens.

Based on the previous research results that the addition of sucrose in the medium improved the biofilm formation of Tetragenococcus halophilus, the influence of sucrose on biofilm formation was explored. Moreover, the influence of exogenous expression of related genes sacA and galE from T. halophilus on the biofilm formation of L. lactis NZ9000 was investigated. The results showed that the addition of sucrose in the medium improved the biofilm formation, the resistance of biofilm cells to freeze-drying stress, and the contents of exopolysaccharides (EPS) and eDNA in the T. halophilus biofilms. Meanwhile, the addition of sucrose in the medium changed the monosaccharide composition of EPS and increased the proportion of glucose and galactose in the monosaccharide composition. Under 2.5% (m/v) salt stress condition, the expression of gene sacA promoted the biofilm formation and the EPS production of L. lactis NZ9000 with the sucrose addition in the medium and changed the EPS monosaccharide composition. The expression of gene galE up-regulated the proportion of rhamnose, galactose, and arabinose in the monosaccharide composition of EPS, and down-regulated the proportion of glucose and mannose. This study will provide a theoretical basis for regulating the biofilm formation of T. halophilus, and provide a reference for the subsequent research on lactic acid bacteria biofilms.

Foodborne diseases are a growing public health concern worldwide and households are a common setting. This study aimed to explore the epidemiological characteristics of household foodborne disease outbreaks in Zhejiang Province and propose targeted prevention and control measures.
Methods
Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze household foodborne disease outbreak data collected from the Foodborne Disease Outbreaks Surveillance System in Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2022.
Results
Household foodborne disease outbreaks showed an upward trend during the study period (Cox-Staurt trend test, p = 0.01563 < 0.05). These outbreaks mainly occurred from June to September, with 62.08% (352/567) of all reported outbreaks. The number of reported outbreaks varied in 11 prefectures, with a maximum of 100 and a minimum of only 7. Household foodborne disease outbreaks had a wide spectrum of etiologic factors. Mushroom toxins accounted for the largest proportion of all etiologies (43.39 %) and caused the highest proportion of hospitalization (54.18%) and death (78.26%). Such outbreaks are caused by accidently eating wild poisonous mushrooms. Bacterial infection (16.23%) was the second most common etiology, with Salmonella spp. and Vibrio parahaemolyticus being the primary pathogens. These outbreaks were caused by improper storage, improper processing or a combination of factors, and the foods involved were mainly aquatic animals, eggs and cooked meat. Other identified etiologies included plant toxins (9.52%), chemicals (7.23%), animal toxins (3.70%), and viruses (1.76%). Among the above-mentioned etiologies, mushroom toxins, bacteria, and animal toxins had seasonal characteristics. Analysis of regions and etiologies revealed that the proportion of various etiologies was different in 11 prefectures. Wild mushrooms (43.39%), aquatic animals (9.88%), and toxic plants (8.47%) were the top three foods involved in these outbreaks. The most common factors contributing to household foodborne disease outbreaks were inedibility and misuse (59.08%), followed by multiple factors (7.58%), improper storage (7.41%), and improper processing (7.41%).
Conclusions
Household foodborne disease outbreaks were closely related to the lack of knowledge regarding foodborne disease prevention. Therefore, public health agencies should strengthen residents’ surveillance and health education to improve food safety awareness and effectively reduce foodborne diseases in households. In addition, timely publicity and early warning by relevant government departments, the introduction of standards to control the contamination of pathogenic bacteria in raw materials, and strengthened supervision of the sale of substances that may cause health hazards, such as poisonous mushrooms and nitrites, will also help reduce such outbreaks.

The quality and sensory attributes of juices are influenced by their natural microbiota and the microorganisms found on filtration membranes. This study aimed to assess the influence of natural microbiota and specific contaminants, including Candida krusei, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Debaryomyces prosopidis, Ralstonia insidiosa, and Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum, isolated from cranberry juice and its associated industrial filtration membranes, on the characteristics of cranberry juice. Their growth kinetics and impacts on total phenols, total anthocyanins, total proanthocyanins, total organic acids, pH, titratable acidity, and volatile compounds were assessed. During the 42 h fermentation period, Candida krusei and Ralstonia insidiosa exhibited significant growth, increasing by 1-log and 3-log, respectively. The natural microbiota led to a 7% and 6% reduction in anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, while Candida krusei and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa caused losses of 10% and 7% in proanthocyanidins, respectively. Organic acid content remained stable, except for an 8% decrease caused by Ralstonia insidiosa. Volatile compounds underwent significant increases, particularly in green (703%), winey (100%), mushroom (306%), and fusel (2678%) notes. These findings underscore the rapid impact of microorganisms from natural microbiota and filtration membranes on cranberry juice characteristics, highlighting the importance for beverage industries to prioritize customer safety and satisfaction.

Salmonella is a major bacterial concern for public health globally. Although there are limited documentation on the prevalence of Salmonella species in Cambodia's food chain, some reports indicate that salmonellosis is a severe gastrointestinal infection in its population and especially in children. To investigate the presence of Salmonella spp., 285 food samples (75 meat, 50 seafood, and 160 leafy green vegetable samples) were randomly collected from various local markets in Phnom Penh capital and nearby farms in Cambodia. Concurrently, field observations were conducted to collect data on food hygiene and practices among the relevant actors. All food samples were analyzed using bacterial culture and plate counts, and the findings were confirmed serially with biochemical, serological, and PCR tests. The observational data on food hygiene and practices from farm to market revealed that the spread of Salmonella in the food-value chain from farm to market could pose health risks to consumers. The overall prevalence of Salmonella spp. was 48.4% (138/285), while the prevalence in meat, seafood, and vegetables was 71% (53/75), 64% (32/50), and 33% (53/160), respectively. Mean Salmonella plate count ranged from 1.2 to 7.40 log10 CFU/g, and there was no significant difference in bacterial counts between meat, seafood, and vegetable samples (p > 0.05). The most common serogroups among the isolated Salmonella spp. were B and C. These results suggest that a large proportion of meat, seafood, and vegetable products sold at local markets in Phnom Penh are contaminated with Salmonella spp. This is likely linked to inadequate hygiene and sanitation practices, including handling, storage, and preservation conditions. Observations on farms suggested that the prevalence of Salmonella in vegetables sold at the market could be linked to contamination relating to agricultural practices. Thus, controlling the spread of foodborne salmonellosis through the food-value chain from farms and retailers to consumers is warranted to enhance food safety in Cambodia.
