Ninety-three samples of source water, used to produce bottled drinking water at bottled drinking water producers in Khanh Hoa province in 2022, were examined for microbiological criteria such as coliform, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and HPC (Heterotrophic Plate Count). Results indicated that 19/93 (20.4%) of samples did not meet the microbiological requirements according to QCVN 01-1:2018/BYT. In which, the percentage of microbiological unsatisfactory well water (42.9%, 6/14) was higher than that of tap water (16.5%, 13/79). The proportion of source water samples of bottled drinking water facilities that did not meet the microbiological requirements in Cam Lam district (83.3%) was higher than those of Cam Ranh (33.3%), Dien Khanh (30%), Ninh Hoa (13.6%), Nha Trang (8%), and Van Ninh (7.7%). Unsatisfactory microbiological criteria included coliform (16.1%), P. aeruginosa (15.1%), and E. coli (1.1%). In addition, there were 8/93 (8.6%) samples with HPC higher than the recommended limit (500 CFU/mL) of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The means of HPC, coliform, and P. aeruginosa were 4,2 × 102, 6,2 × 101, and 1,1 × 102 CFU/100 mL, respectively. Contaminated source water is one of the risks of microbiological contamination in finished bottled drinking water. Therefore, bottled drinking water producers in Khanh Hoa need to maintain good infection control and minimize the risk of microbial contamination from source water to finished bottled drinking water.

The genus Clostridium is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium. Most species of Clostridium spp. usually are found in soil, water, dead plants, animal carcasses, and play an important role in the decomposition of substances in nature. Raw meat and fresh vegetable are more likely to be contaminated with spores or vegetative cells of the genus Clostridium. The study results showed that the percentage of samples contaminated with raw meat and leafy vegetables collected at markets in Dong Da, Ha Dong and Hoang Mai districts infected with C. perfringens was 26.67% (n = 150) and 26.82% (n = 220). The percentage of raw meat and leafy vegetable samples contaminated with C. difficile was very low with 6.00% (n = 150) and 0.9% (n = 220), respectively. Gene amplification reactions revealed the presence of cpa toxin gene in all C. perfringens strains and detected 02 C. difficile strains carrying the tcdA gene.

There is an increasing demand from consumers for natural and minimally processed foods. Therefore, developing and producing effective natural antimicrobial substances for food preservation is of great interest. This work aimed to investigate the effect of growth conditions on the maximum activity of antibacterial substances production by Lactiplantibacillus sp. NCL33 from Nem chua, a traditional fermented meat. The results revealed that the antibacterial substances exhibited a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of NCL33 was optimized with MRS broth supplemented with 20 g/L glucose. The suitable nitrogen source for antibacterial biosynthesis was yeast extract with a concentration of 25 g/L. Moreover, the inoculated temperature and initial pH significantly influenced the antimicrobial activity. The maximum antimicrobial activity of NCL33 was obtained at 30°C and pH 7,0.

1,3-olein-2-palmitin (OPO - Sn2-palmitate) is a triacylglycerol found in breast milk that helps absorb nutrients in the infant’s intestine. Because of its beneficial effect on the infant's health improvement, OPO has been added by manufacturers to infant and infant formula. OPO content becomes an important criterion for milk quality. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method to analyze OPO in formula milk products, contributing to assessing the quality of formula products being circulated in the market. In this study, OPO was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using an Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 chromatographic column, with an ESI (+) positive electron spray ionization source and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The validity of the method was confirmed according to the guidelines of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). The results showed that the method has good specificity, the linearity range from 3.0 to 300 µg/kg, the detection limit of 1.0 µg/kg, the quantification limit of 3.0 µg/kg; precision and accuracy with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 12% and recoveries ranging from 89.6 to 112%, meeting AOAC requirements. The method was used to analyze the OPO content in 17 infant formula products in Hanoi.

Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glycoside, a natural toxicant in Rosaceae spp. such as almonds, peaches, and apricots, and may appear in products containing them. Amygdalin, after being absorbed into the body, will be hydrolyzed and release hydrocyanic acid, which is capable of causing poisoning in humans. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with negative mode electrospray ionization and multi-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used to develop and validate a method for determining amygdalin on food according to AOAC guidelines. Chloramphenicol was chosen as the internal standard. The mobile phase consists of two channels: channel A (formic acid 0.1%), channel B (acetonitril) and the solid phase is symmetry C18 column (3 mm × 150 mm, 3.5 μm). The method has been validated according to AOAC 2016 guidelines. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation of amygdalin in food was 15 and 50 μg/kg, respectively. The linearity ranges from 1.68 to 33.6 ng/mL. Recovery was from 86.2 to 110.0 %, and the relative standard was from 2.8 to 5.0 %. The validated method is applied to determine amygdalin content in some kernels and their products on Hanoi's market.

The hydrolysis of germ rice by the use of α-amylase and glucoamylase enzymes will help increase the reducing sugar content, reduce viscosity, and improve the yield of milk solution compared to the traditional extraction method. The liquefaction experiment was arranged with two factors, which are substrate ratio: α-amylase concentration and α-amylase concentration: different hydrolysis time. The saccharification experiment was carried out based on a multivariate model according to the Central Composite Design method. As a result, a 1 : 2 substrate ratio, 0.5% α-amylase concentration (approx. 11U/g starch) and 50 minutes hydrolysis time were selected as the basis for the next experiment. Analysis of variance in the regression model showed that the quadratic model was significant (p < 0.0001). Lack of fit (p > 0.05) this indicates that the model is suitable for all data. The reliability of the model R2 = 0.993 shows that the built regression model fits the data set 99.3%. CV = 1.19% indicated a better precision and reliability of the experiments carried out. Optimal conditions for hydrolysis of glucoamylase concentration of 0.399% (approx. 119.863U/g starch), temperature of 59.813°C and hydrolysis time of 160.468 minutes gave the highest DE content at 25.245% and higher than the non-enzymatic method (DE = 8.985 ± 0.062).

In the work reported here, the simple and efficient modification of Ni nanoparticles /reduced graphene (rGO) on the surface of the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was demonstrated. The obtained composited materials were characterized by physicochemical methods such as SEM and electrochemical techniques. The results show that the Ni nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the reduced graphene material with the particle size from 10 - 20 nm. The electrochemical properties show that the Ni/rGO/SPCE material exhibits high electron exchange ability in 0.1 M KOH media. In addition, the Ni/rGO composited material modified SPCE to form a Sudan electrochemical sensor. The sensor has high sensitivity (9.13 µA. µM-1.cm-2), wide dynamic range (300 nM - 35,000 nM) and low limit of detection - LOD (171.8 nM (3*σ). The combination of a miniaturized 3-electrode system (12.5 mm x 4 mm x 0.3 mm) with a highly electrochemical activity of Ni/rGO composited material pave the prospect for the creation of a new type of electrical sensor: compact, high sensitivity in the analysis of Sudan I in particular and in the analysis of banned substances in food in general.

Gotu kola is often used to make fresh juice without heating. In Nha Trang, gotu kola drinks are usually prepared and refrigerated while being traded. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium capable of growing at cold temperatures; whereas the pathogenicity is low, mortality rate can be up to 25 - 30%. Therefore, the assessment of the level of L. monocytogenes contamination on raw gotu kola and in gotu kola juice during cold storage is crucial to ensure food safety and hygiene. This study has shown that the prevalence of L. monocytogenes infection on raw gotu kola cultivated in Nha Trang accounted for 15% of the samples with an average infection density of 24.2 MPN/g, in which gotu kola grown in wastewater field had the highest density of bacteria. Soaking raw vegetables in a solution of potassium permanganate 10 ppm/10 minutes has appeared to reduce the amount of L. monocytogenes by 56%. During the first 6 hours of storage, the amount of L. monocytogenes in gotu kola juice was stable at low level. After 24 hours of storage, the number of bacteria increased tenfold (on gotu kola juice without sugar) and twentyfold (on gotu kola juice with sugar) depending on storage temperature. Noticeably, the addition of sugar in gotu kola juice may have increased the growth of bacteria. Test results of forty-five samples of gotu kola juice sold on the streets of Nha Trang have revealed that the infection rate of L. monocytogenes was 6.67% and the average bacterial density was 5.43 MPN/mL. Thus, consumers need to pay attention to the origin and the manufacturing process of crude materials and should not use this herbal beverage from 6 hours after storage to reduce the possibility of disease caused by L. monocytogenes.
