Natural Methoxyphenol Compounds: Antimicrobial Activity against Foodborne Pathogens and Food Spoilage Bacteria, and Role in Antioxidant Processes.

ABSTRACT: The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of three methoxyphenol phytometabolites, eugenol, capsaicin, and vanillin, were determined. The in vitro antimicrobial potential was tested on three common foodborne pathogens (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus) and three food spoilage bacteria (Shewanella putrefaciens, Brochothrix thermosphacta, and Lactobacillus plantarum). The antioxidant assays were carried out for studying the free radical scavenging capacity and the anti-lipoperoxidant activity. The results showed that eugenol and capsaicin were the most active against both pathogens and spoilage bacteria. S. aureus was one of the most affected strains (median concentration of growth inhibition: IC50 eugenol = 0.75 mM; IC50 capsaicin = 0.68 mM; IC50 vanillin = 1.38 mM). All phytochemicals slightly inhibited the growth of L. plantarum. Eugenol was the most active molecule in the antioxidant assays. Only in the oxygen radical absorbing capacity (ORAC) test did vanillin show an antioxidant activity comparable to eugenol (eugenol ORAC value = 2.12 ± 0.08; vanillin ORAC value = 1.81 ± 0.19). This study, comparing the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of three guaiacol derivatives, enhances their use in future applications as food additives for contrasting both common pathogens and spoilage bacteria and for improving the shelf life of preserved food.

Antimicrobial Effect of Chitosan Films on Food Spoilage Bacteria.

Project description:Synthetic materials commonly used in the packaging industry generate a considerable amount of waste each year. Chitosan is a promising feedstock for the production of functional biomaterials. From a biological point of view, chitosan is very attractive for food packaging. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a set of chitosan-metal oxide films and different chitosan-modified graphene (oxide) films against two foodborne pathogens: Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33560 and Listeria monocytogenes 19115. Moreover, we wanted to check whether the incorporation of antimicrobial constituents such as TiO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, Ag, and graphene oxide (GO) into the polymer matrices can improve the antibacterial properties of these nanocomposite films. Finally, this research helps elucidate the interactions of these materials with eukaryotic cells. All chitosan-metal oxide films and chitosan-modified graphene (oxide) films displayed improved antibacterial (C. jejuni ATCC 33560 and L. monocytogenes 19115) properties compared to native chitosan films. The CS-ZnO films had excellent antibacterial activity towards L. monocytogenes (90% growth inhibition). Moreover, graphene-based chitosan films caused high inhibition of both tested strains. Chitosan films with graphene (GO, GOP, GOP-HMDS, rGO, GO-HMDS, rGOP), titanium dioxide (CS-TiO2 20:1a, CS-TiO2 20:1b, CS-TiO2 2:1, CS-TiO2 1:1a, CS-TiO2 1:1b) and zinc oxide (CS-ZnO 20:1a, CS-ZnO 20:1b) may be considered as a safe, non-cytotoxic packaging materials in the future.

Natural Phenolic Compounds for the Control of Oxidation, Bacterial Spoilage, and Foodborne Pathogens in Meat.

Project description:Alternative technologies for long-term preservation, quality assurance, and safety of meat are continuously pursued by the food industry to satisfy the demands of modern consumers for nutritious and healthy meat-based products. Naturally occurring phenolic compounds are considered promising substances by the meat industry for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, while consumers seem to embrace them for their claimed health benefits. Despite the numerous in vitro and in situ studies demonstrating their beneficial effects against meat oxidation, spoilage, and foodborne pathogens, wide application and commercialization has not been yet achieved. Major obstacles are still the scarcity of legislative framework, the large variety of meat-based products and targeted pathogens, the limited number of case-specific application protocols and the questionable universal efficiency of the applied ones. The objectives of the present review are i) to summarize the current knowledge about the applications of naturally occurring phenols in meat and meat-based products, emphasizing the mechanisms, determinants, and spectrum of their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity; ii) to present state-of-the-art technologies utilized for the application of phenolic compounds in meat systems; and iii) to discuss relevant regulation, limitations, perspectives, and future challenges for their mass industrial use.

Antimicrobial Activity of Lipopeptide Biosurfactants Against Foodborne Pathogen and Food Spoilage Microorganisms and Their Cytotoxicity.

Project description:Lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by Bacillus sp. were assessed regarding their antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogenic and food spoilage microorganisms. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were found not to be susceptible to these lipopeptides. However, mycosubtilin and mycosubtilin/surfactin mixtures were very active against the filamentous fungi Paecilomyces variotti and Byssochlamys fulva, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1-16 mg/L. They were also active against Candida krusei, MIC = 16-64 mg/L. Moreover it was found that the antifungal activity of these lipopeptides was not affected by differences in isoform composition and/or purity. Furthermore their cytotoxicity tested on two different cell lines mimicking ingestion and detoxification was comparable to those of approved food preservatives such as nisin. Overall, for the first time here mycosubtilin and mycosubtilin/surfactin mixtures were found to have high antifungal activity against food relevant fungi at concentrations lower than their toxicity level hence, suggesting their application for extending the shelf-life of products susceptible to these moulds. In addition combining nisin with mycosubtilin or mycosubtiliin/surfactin mixtures proved to be an effective approach to produce antimicrobials with broader spectrum of action.

Using Potential Lactic Acid Bacteria Biofilms and their Compounds to Control Biofilms of Foodborne Pathogens.

Project description:Pediococcus pentosaceus and Enterococcus faecium isolated from fermented fish and chicken represented the potential probiotic properties against Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 13311. Isolated Lactic Acid Bacteria were tested for physiological characteristics, antimicrobial activity of crude supernatant containing 0.5- 1.3% w/ v nisin against planktonic and biofilm of foodborne pathogens, biofilm forming ability, auto-aggregation, co-aggregation with all tested pathogens, bacterial survival in acid and bile salt conditions, hemolytic activity, and minimal inhibitory concentration of antibiotics. Isolates were also identified using 16S rRNA sequencing. LAB showed antimicrobial activities against planktonic and biofilm forms of all tested foodborne pathogens. All LAB could develop biofilms to prevent biofilm formations of all tested pathogens through the co-aggregation process. They showed 6-8% tolerance to bile salt, were partially resistant to low pH, hemolysis negative, and antibiotic susceptibility to the level allowed by European Food Safety Authority.

Anthocyanin Profile, Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Antimicrobial against Foodborne Pathogens Activities of Purple Rice Cultivars in Northern Thailand.

Project description:Five glutinous purple rice cultivars and non-glutinous purple rice cultivated in different altitudes in the north of Thailand were collected. The samples were extracted using ethanol and determined for anthocyanins using HPLC. The total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities against foodborne pathogens were investigated. The highland glutinous cultivar named Khao' Gam Luem-Phua (KGLP) extract had significantly high levels of cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, peonidin 3-O-glucoside, delphinidin 3-O-glucoside, TPC, and TFC, as well as exerting a potent antioxidant activity through ABTS assay (524.26 ± 4.63 VCEAC, mg l-ascorbic-ascorbic/g extract), lipid peroxidation (IC50 = 19.70 ± 0.31 µg/mL), superoxide anions (IC50 = 11.20 ± 0.25 µg/mL), nitric oxide (IC50 = 17.12 ± 0.56 µg/mL), a suppression effect on nitric oxide (IC50 = 18.32 ± 0.82 µg/mL), and an inducible nitric oxide synthase production (IC50 = 23.43 ± 1.21 µg/mL) in combined lipopolysaccharide-interferon-γ-activated RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells. Additionally, KGLP also exhibited antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. These results indicate that Thai glutinous purple rice cultivated on the highland could be a potent natural source of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and antimicrobial agents for use as a natural active pharmaceutical ingredient in functional food and nutraceutical products.

Antimicrobial activity of resveratrol-derived monomers and dimers against foodborne pathogens.

Project description:Plant polyphenolic compounds are considered a promising source for new antibacterial agents. In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of a collection of resveratrol-derived monomers and dimers screened as single molecules against a panel of nine foodborne pathogens. The results demonstrated that two monomers (i.e., pterostilbene 2 and (E)-3-hydroxy-4',5-dimethoxystilbene 9) and three dimers (i.e., δ-viniferin 10, viniferifuran 14 and dehydro-δ-viniferin 15) were endowed with significant antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria. The exposure of gram-positive foodborne pathogens to 100 µg/mL of 2, 9 and 15 induced severe cell membrane damage, resulting in the disruption of the phospholipid bilayer. The most promising dimeric compound, dehydro-δ-viniferin 15, was tested against Listeria monocytogenes, resulting in a loss of cultivability, viability and cell membrane potential. TEM analysis revealed grave morphological modifications on the cell membrane and leakage of intracellular content, confirming that the cell membrane was the principal biological target of the tested derivative.

Antimicrobial activities of Asian plant extracts against pathogenic and spoilage bacteria.

Project description:This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial effects of 300 Asian plant extracts (PEs) against pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. The antimicrobial activities were examined using agar well or agar disc diffusion, and micro-titer methods. Results revealed that PEs exhibited higher antimicrobial effects against Gram-positive bacteria compared than against Gram-negative bacteria. With few exceptions, PEs delayed the lag time (LT) of pathogenic bacteria (1.17-3.75 times). Among PEs tested, Alchornea trewioides (AT) and Erodium stephanianum (ES) were the most effective in inhibiting pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. In the study evaluating the effect on the growth inhibition in the broth, Acetobacter aceti was inhibited at 2.77 and 3.02 log CFU/mL by the combination treatment of AT+nisin and ES+nisin after storage for 7 days, respectively. Although further investigations are needed to clarify the antimicrobial mechanism of PEs, this study demonstrated that antimicrobial efficacy varied with PE types, solvents, and bacteria.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10068-022-01182-0.

Exploring Phenolic Compounds as Quorum Sensing Inhibitors in Foodborne Bacteria.

Project description:The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria stimulates the search for new substitutes to traditional antimicrobial agents, especially molecules with antivirulence properties, such as those that interfere with quorum sensing (QS). This study aimed to evaluate the potential of phenolic compounds for QS inhibition in a QS biosensor strain (Chromobacterium violaceum) and three foodborne bacterial species (Aeromonas hydrophila, Salmonella enterica serovar Montevideo, and Serratia marcescens). Initially, an in silico molecular docking study was performed to select the compounds with the greatest potential for QS inhibition, using structural variants of the CviR QS regulator of C. violaceum as target. Curcumin, capsaicin, resveratrol, gallic acid, and phloridizin presented good affinity to at least four CviR structural variants. These phenolic compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity, inhibition of biofilm formation, and anti-QS activity. The antimicrobial activity when combined with kanamycin was also assessed. Curcumin, capsaicin, and resveratrol inhibited up to 50% of violacein production by C. violaceum. Biofilm formation was inhibited by resveratrol up to 80% in A. hydrophila, by capsaicin and curcumin up to 40% in S. Montevideo and by resveratrol and capsaicin up to 60% in S. marcescens. Curcumin completely inhibited swarming motility in S. marcescens. Additionally, curcumin and resveratrol increased the sensitivity of the tested bacteria to kanamycin. These results indicate that curcumin and resveratrol at concentrations as low as 6μM are potential quorum sensing inhibitors besides having antimicrobial properties at higher concentrations, encouraging applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
