Microbial quality assessment of minimally processed pineapple using GCMS and FTIR in tandem with chemometrics.

ABSTRACT: Microbial quality is the critical parameter determining the safety of refrigerated perishables. Traditional methods used for assessing microbial quality are time consuming and labour intensive. Thus rapid, non-destructive methods that can accurately predict microbial status is warranted. Models using partial least square regression (PLS-R) from chemical finger prints of minimally processed pineapple during storage obtained by Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (HS-SPME-GCMS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and their data fusion are developed. Models built using FTIR data demonstrated good prediction for unknown samples kept under non-isothermal conditions. FTIR based models could predict 87 and 80% samples within?±1?log CFU/g for TVC and Y&M, respectively. Analysis of PLS-R results suggested the production of alcohols and esters with utilization of sugars due to microbial spoilage.

Changes of Quality of Minimally-Processed Pineapple (Ananas comosus, var. 'Queen Victoria') during Cold Storage: Fungi in the Leading Role.

Project description:Minimally-processed pineapple stored under refrigerated conditions is highly perishable. We aimed to characterize the evolution of physicochemical, sensory and microbiological quality during cold storage. Pineapple batches were sampled from several locations in Reunion Island and then minimally processed. In the processing step, the variability of firmness and counts of yeasts and molds were observed. Moreover, correlations between the sampling season and pH and b* color component, as well as between fungal population and b* parameter were observed. During storage, the visual aspect of pineapple cuts changed to brown and shiny, whereas olfactive descriptors shifted from fruity descriptors and fresh to fermented, alcoholic and milky. The values for pH, TA and TSS did not significantly vary according to storage time. A decrease in firmness and C* color parameter was observed. Yeast and mold counts were significantly higher after 7 days of storage. The diversity in yeasts and molds was mainly dependent on the considered batches observed from PCR-DGGE profiles. Fungal species were isolated from spoiled pineapple cuts. The implication of Penicilllium citrtrinum, Talaromyces amestolkiae, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Meyerozyma caribbica in the spoilage of minimally-processed pineapple cuts was further demonstrated.

HPLC-PDA Combined with Chemometrics for Quantitation of Active Components and Quality Assessment of Raw and Processed Fruits of Xanthium strumarium L.

Project description:As a valuable herbal medicine, the fruits of Xanthium strumarium L. (Xanthii Fructus) have been widely used in raw and processed forms to achieve different therapeutic effects in practice. In this study, a comprehensive strategy was proposed for evaluating the active components in 30 batches of raw and processed Xanthii Fructus (RXF and PXF) samples, based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA). Twelve common peaks were detected and eight compounds of caffeoylquinic acids were simultaneously quantified in RXF and PXF. All the analytes were detected with satisfactory linearity (R² > 0.9991) over wide concentration ranges. Simultaneously, the chemically latent information was revealed by hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA). The results suggest that there were significant differences between RXF and PXF from different regions in terms of the content of eight caffeoylquinic acids. Potential chemical markers for XF were found during processing by chemometrics.

Edible coating with probiotic as a quality factor for minimally processed carrots.

Project description:The objectives of this study were to elaborate an edible coating based on sodium alginate with probiotic potential and to evaluate the coating's performance with respect to microbial viability and the characteristics of safety and freshness of minimally processed carrots stored at 8?±?2 °C. Carrot slices were submerged in a sodium alginate solution with and without the addition of Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14 (7.36 log CFU/g), and gelling was activated by subsequent immersion in a calcium chloride solution. Physical, chemical and microbiological analyses of coated and non-coated samples were performed over a period of 19 days. At the end of this period, the viable cell count of the probiotic remained at 7.11 log CFU/g. Thus, the alginate coating was an efficient support for L. acidophilus. In addition, comparing the acidity increase between the treatments, samples with probiotic coating presented the lowest statistically significant variation, suggesting that the probiotics had reduced the metabolism of the minimally processed carrot slices. The barrier created by the coatings also contributed to the quality of the minimally processed carrots by conserving their moisture and minimizing color changes during storage. These factors are important determinants of the successful commercialization of these products.

Application of ATR-FTIR and FT-NIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics for species identification and quality prediction of boletes.

Project description:The taste and aroma of edible mushrooms, which is a criterion of judgment for consumer purchases, are influenced by amino acids and their metabolites. Sixty-eight amino acids and their metabolites were identified using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and 16 critical marker components were screened. The chemical composition of different species of boletes was characterized by two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) to determine the sequence of molecular vibrations or group changes. Identification of boletes species based on partial least squares discrimination (PLS-DA) combined with Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), residual convolutional neural network (ResNet) combined with three-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (3DCOS) was performed with 100% accuracy. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis showed that FT-NIR and ATR-FTIR spectra were highly correlated with the amino acids and their metabolites detected by LC-MS. All models had achieved an R2p of 0.911 and an RPD >3.0. The results show that FT-NIR and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics methods can be used for rapid species identification and estimation of amino acids and their metabolites content in boletes. This study provides new techniques and ideas for the authenticity of species information and the quality assessment of boletes.

Use of FTIR spectroscopy and chemometrics for the classification of carobs origin.

Project description:Carob samples from seven different Mediterranean countries (Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Jordan and Palestine) were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Seed and flesh samples of indigenous and foreign cultivars, both authentic and commercial, were examined. The spectra were recorded in transmittance mode from KBr pellets. The data were compressed and further processed statistically using multivariate chemometric techniques, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Cluster Analysis (CA), Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Orthogonal Partial Least Square-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA). Specifically, unsupervised PCA framed the importance of the variety of carobs, while supervised analysis highlighted the contribution of the geographical origin. Best classification models were achieved with PLS regression on first derivative spectra, giving an overall correct classification. Thus, the applied methodology enabled the differentiation of carobs flesh and seed per their origin. Our results appear to suggest that this method is a rapid and powerful tool for the successful discrimination of carobs origin and type.

Rapid Detection of Thermal Treatment of Honey by Chemometrics-Assisted FTIR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Honey, as a nutritious natural sweetener produced by honeybees, offers a unique biochemical composition with great benefit to human health. Transportation and storage conditions as well as violations of processing can lead to decomposition of vitamins, destruction of the integrity of the antioxidant components and enzymes, and further biochemical changes with impact on nutritional quality. We developed a fast detection method of adulterations or changes of honey caused by thermal exposure, which does not require any sample pretreatment. By Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, supported by chemometrics methods, we investigated three types of raw honey before and after heat treatment for varying exposure times at different temperatures. Applying principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis to the preprocessed spectroscopic data, allowed us to discriminate raw honey from thermally altered ones even at low temperatures of 40 °C with high accuracies ≥90%.

Specific Microbial Communities Are Selected in Minimally-Processed Fruit and Vegetables according to the Type of Product.

Project description:Fruits and vegetables (F&V) products are recommended for the daily diet due to their low caloric content, high amount of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Furthermore, these foods are a source of various phytochemical compounds, such as polyphenols, flavonoids and sterols, exerting antioxidant activity. Despite the benefits derived from eating raw F&V, the quality and safety of these products may represent a source of concern, since they can be quickly spoiled and have a very short shelf-life. Moreover, they may be a vehicle of pathogenic microorganisms. This study aims to evaluate the bacterial and fungal populations in F&V products (i.e., iceberg lettuces, arugula, spinaches, fennels, tomatoes and pears) by using culture-dependent microbiological analysis and high-throughput sequencing (HTS), in order to decipher the microbial populations that characterize minimally-processed F&V. Our results show that F&V harbor diverse and product-specific bacterial and fungal communities, with vegetables leaf morphology and type of edible fraction of fruits exerting the highest influence. In addition, we observed that several alterative (e.g., Pseudomonas and Aspergillus) and potentially pathogenic taxa (such as Staphylococcus and Cladosporium) are present, thus emphasizing the need for novel product-specific strategies to control the microbial composition of F&V and extend their shelf-life.

Effect of edible coatings based on alginate/pectin on quality preservation of minimally processed 'Espada' mangoes.

Project description:The aims of the study were to develop and apply alginate and pectin-based edible coatings on minimally processed mango (Mangifera indica L.) variety 'Espada'. A full experimental design was performed using alginate, pectin and glycerol concentrations as independent variables and total soluble solids as response variable. Minimally processed mango was immersed in each film forming solution, calcium chloride and glycerol solutions pretreated with 1% (w/v) solution of ascorbic acid, dried at 25?±?2 °C for 24 h and then refrigerated at 8?±?1 °C for 14 d. Based on the results of the experimental design, the following formulations were evaluated: 2% (w/v) alginate/3% (w/v) pectin (with and without glycerol) and 3% (w/v) alginate/0.5% (w/v) pectin (with and without glycerol). Fruits coated with biopolymers had lower total soluble solids content and titratable acidity compared to the control group. The formulation containing 2% (w/v) alginate, 3% (w/v) pectin and 5.5% (w/v) glycerol showed the best performance for long-term refrigerated storage of minimally processed mango for a period of 16 d.

Flash Gas Chromatography in Tandem with Chemometrics: A Rapid Screening Tool for Quality Grades of Virgin Olive Oils.

Project description:This research aims to develop a classification model based on untargeted elaboration of volatile fraction fingerprints of virgin olive oils (n = 331) analyzed by flash gas chromatography to predict the commercial category of samples (extra virgin olive oil, EVOO; virgin olive oil, VOO; lampante olive oil, LOO). The raw data related to volatile profiles were considered as independent variables, while the quality grades provided by sensory assessment were defined as a reference parameter. This data matrix was elaborated using the linear technique partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), applying, in sequence, two sequential classification models with two categories (EVOO vs. no-EVOO followed by VOO vs. LOO and LOO vs. no-LOO followed by VOO vs. EVOO). The results from this large set of samples provide satisfactory percentages of correctly classified samples, ranging from 72% to 85%, in external validation. This confirms the reliability of this approach in rapid screening of quality grades and that it represents a valid solution for supporting sensory panels, increasing the efficiency of the controls, and also applicable to the industrial sector.

Application of FTIR-PAS in Rapid Assessment of Rice Quality under Climate Change Conditions.

Project description:Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS), versus attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRIFT), was firstly applied in quick assessment of rice quality in response to rising CO2/temperature instead of conventional time-consuming chemical methods. The influences of elevated CO2 and higher temperature were identified using FTIR-PAS spectra by principal component analysis (PCA). Variations in the rice functional groups are crucial indicators for rice identification, and the ratio of the intensities of two selected spectral bands was used for correlation analysis with starch, protein, and lipid content, and the ratios all showed a positive linear correlation (R2 = 0.9103, R2 = 0.9580, and R2 = 0.9246, respectively). Subsequently, changes in nutritional components under future environmental conditions that encompass higher CO2 and temperature were evaluated, which demonstrated the potential of FTIR-PAS to detect the responses of rice to climate change, providing a valuable technique for agricultural production and food security.
