Combined effect of ozonation and packaging on shelf life extension of fresh chicken legs during storage under refrigeration.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different ozone doses (2, 5, and 10 mg/L) on shelf life extension of fresh chicken legs, packaged in polyamide/poleyethylene bags and stored at 4 ± 1 °C, for a period of 12 days. Parameters taken into account were: microbiological (Total viable count, Pseudomonas spp., Lactic acid bacteria, Yeasts and molds, and Enterobacteriaceae), physicochemical (pH, colour) and sensory (odor, appearance, texture, and taste) attributes. Results showed that colour parameter values (L*, a*, and b*) were not affected by the gaseous ozone dose, whereas only L* and b* were reduced during storage in all samples. pH was reduced by storage time but was not affected by ozonation dose and packaging. Total viable count and Pseudomonas spp., increased statistically significant with ozonation dose and storage time, but were not affected by packaging. Yeasts, molds, Enterobacteriaceae, and Lactic acid bacteria, were decreased during storage, packaging and ozonation dose. Finally, sensory examination (appearance, texture, odor and taste) showed that samples treated with ozone concentration of 10 mg/L retained the original characteristic features of fresh chicken legs as compared to the control samples. The gaseous ozone treatment of 10 mg/L for 1 h, to chicken legs packaged in plastic containers of polyamide/polyethylene under refrigeration, is appropriate for maintaining freshness and quality of chicken, since their shelf life was extended by 4 days, as compared to the control samples.

Project description:Microbial stability of fresh pasta depends on heat treatment, storage temperature, proper preservatives, and atmosphere packaging. This study aimed at improving the microbial quality, safety, and shelf life of fresh pasta using modified atmosphere composition and packaging with or without the addition of bioprotective cultures (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium spp., and Bacillus coagulans) into semolina. Three fresh pasta variants were made using (i) the traditional protocol (control), MAP (20:80 CO2:N2), and barrier packaging, (ii) the experimental MAP (40:60 CO2:N2) and barrier packaging, and (iii) the experimental MAP, barrier packaging, and bioprotective cultures. Their effects on physicochemical properties (i.e., content on macro elements, water activity, headspace O2, CO2 concentrations, and mycotoxins), microbiological patterns, protein, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) were investigated at the beginning and the end of the actual or extended shelf-life through traditional and multi-omics approaches. We showed that the gas composition and properties of the packaging material tested in the experimental MAP system, with or without bioprotective cultures, positively affect features of fresh pasta avoiding changes in their main chemical properties, allowing for a storage longer than 120 days under refrigerated conditions. These results support that, although bioprotective cultures were not all able to grow in tested conditions, they can control the spoilage and the associated food-borne microbiota in fresh pasta during storage by their antimicrobials and/or fermentation products synergically. The VOC profiling, based on gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS), highlighted significant differences affected by the different manufacturing and packaging of samples. Therefore, the use of the proposed MAP system and the addition of bioprotective cultures can be considered an industrial helpful strategy to reduce the quality loss during refrigerated storage and to increase the shelf life of fresh pasta for additional 30 days by allowing the economic and environmental benefits spurring innovation in existing production models.

Project description:To meet the demands for more effective and ecofriendly food packaging strategies, the potential of nisin-loaded rhamnolipid functionalized nanofillers (rhamnosomes) has been explored after embedding in hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose (HPMC) and κ-carrageenan (κ-CR)-based packaging films. It was observed that intrinsically active rhamnosomes based nanofillers greatly improved the mechanical and optical properties of nano-active packaging (NAP) films. Incorporation of rhamnosomes resulted in higher tensile strength (5.16 ± 0.06 MPa), Young's modulus (2777 ± 0.77 MPa), and elongation (2.58 ± 0.03%) for NAP than active packaging containing free nisin (2.96 ± 0.03 MPa, 1107 ± 0.67 MPa, 1.48 ± 0.06%, respectively). NAP demonstrated a homogenous distribution of nanofillers in the biopolymer matrix as elucidated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed that NAP prepared with nisin-loaded rhamnosomes was thermally stable even above 200 °C. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses revealed that addition of nisin in nanofillers resulted in a slight increase in Tg (108.40 °C), indicating thermal stability of NAP. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed slight shift in all characteristic bands of nano-active packaging, which indicated the embedding of rhamnosomes inside the polymer network without any chemical interaction. Finally, when tested on chicken breast filets and cheese slices under refrigerated storage conditions, NAP demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity (up to 4.5 log unit reduction) and inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. These results suggest that HPMC and κ-CR-based NAP containing functionalized nanofillers can serve as an innovative packaging material for the food industry to improve the safety, quality, and shelf-life of dairy and meat products.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11947-022-02815-2.

Project description:This study investigated the physicochemical, instrumental and bacterial parameters of tilapia fillets subjected to oxygen-scavenger packaging, alone or in combination with UV-C radiation at two doses (0.102 and 0.301 J/cm2), stored at 4 ± 1 °C for 23 days. The oxygen scavenger, both UV-C doses, and the oxygen scavenger combined with UV-C, independently of the dose, extended the shelf life in 5, 6 and 7 days, respectively, by decreasing the bacterial growth rate and the formation of degradation compounds (e.g., TVB-N and ammonia). Oxygen-scavenger packaging, alone or in combination with UV-C at 0.102 J/cm2 and 0.301 J/cm2 showed lower amounts of free amino acids (FAA; 34.39, 34.49 and 34.50 mg L-lysine/kg fish tissue, 3.63, 3.57 and 3.61 mg L- ornithine/kg fish tissue, 27.52, 27.63 and 27.67 mg L-arginine/kg fish tissue), biogenic amines (BA; 3.81, 3.87 and 3.89 mg cadaverine/kg fish tissue, 12.88, 12.91 and 12.86 mg putrescine/kg fish tissue, 2.41, 2.44 and 2.47 mg spermidine/kg fish tissue), redness (2.53, 2.55 and 2.59), yellowness (6.65, 6.69 and 6.72), lipid oxidation (1.52, 1.53 and 1.58 mg malondialdehyde/kg fish tissue) and protein oxidation (5.06, 5.11 and 5.18 nmol carbonyls/mg protein), with higher hardness (3273.41, 2652.98 and 2687.57 g) than control (air packaging; 41.97 mg L-lysine/kg fish tissue, 4.83 mg L- ornithine/kg fish tissue, 37.33 mg L-arginine/kg fish tissue, 4.82 mg cadaverine/kg fish tissue, 16.56 mg putrescine/kg fish tissue, 3.21 mg spermidine/kg fish tissue, 4.26 of redness, 8.17 of yellowness, 2.88 mg malondialdehyde/kg fish tissue, 9.44 nmol carbonyls/mg protein and 2092.58 g of hardness), respectively, on day 13 of storage when the control fillets were unfit for consumption (7 log CFU/g) (p < 0.05). However, in the same day of storage, both UV-C doses had similar values for BA (p > 0.05), higher amounts of FAA (44.28 and 44.13 mg L-lysine/kg fish tissue, 5.16 and 5.12 mg L- ornithine/kg fish tissue, 40.20 and 40.28 mg L-arginine/kg fish tissue), redness (4.86 and 5.33), yellowness (9.32 and 10.01), lipid oxidation (3.09 and 3.52 mg malondialdehyde/kg fish tissue) and protein oxidation (10.27 and 11.93 nmol carbonyls/mg protein), as well as lower hardness (1877.54 and 1767.39 g), respectively, than control fillets (p < 0.05). The combined preservation methods were the most effective in extending the shelf life and prolonging the physicochemical quality of the refrigerated tilapia fillets and the O2 scavenger proved to be a potential alternative to prevent the negative changes induced by both UV-C doses.
