Cross contamination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in fresh-cut leafy vegetables: Derivation of a food safety objective and other risk management metrics
(2022)
In the present study, the cross contamination and distribution of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was investigated in fresh-cut lettuce by simulating a commercial process at a pilot plant scale with different initial inoculum ...
A new expanded modelling approach for investigating the bioprotective capacity of Latilactobacillus sakei CTC494 against Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat fish products
(Elsevier, 2021)
Understanding the role of food-related factors on the efficacy of protective cultures is essential to attain optimal results for developing biopreservation-based strategies. The aim of this work was to assess and model ...
Modelling of the Behaviour of Salmonella enterica serovar Reading on Commercial Fresh-Cut Iceberg Lettuce Stored at Different Temperatures
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this study was to model the growth and survival behaviour of Salmonella Reading and endogenous lactic acid bacteria on fresh pre-cut iceberg lettuce stored under modified atmosphere packaging for 10 days at ...
Modeling the Growth of Six Listeria monocytogenes Strains in Smoked Salmon Pâté
(MDPI, 2023)
In this study, the growth of six L. monocytogenes strains isolated from different fish products was quantified and modeled in smoked salmon pâté at a temperature ranging from 2 to 20 °C. The experimental data obtained for ...
New software solutions for microbiological food safety assessment and management
(Elsevier, 2022)
Predictive microbiology and quantitative microbial risk assessment software tools for food safety assessment and management should cover the needs of a variety of target-users with different background. Current trends on ...
Quantifying and modelling the inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes by electrolyzed water on food contact surfaces
(Elsevier, 2020)
The efficacy of electrolyzed water (EW) to inactivate Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces was
evaluated and modelled in the present study. L. monocytogenes was inoculated on stainless steel coupons ...
Effect of food microstructure on growth dynamics of Listeria monocytogenes in fish-based model systems
(Elsevier, 2018)
Traditionally, predictive growth models for food pathogens are developed based on experiments in broth media, resulting in models which do not incorporate the influence of food microstructure. The use of model systems with ...
Unveiling fresh-cut lettuce processing in argentine industries: evaluating Salmonella levels using predictive microbiology models
(MDPI, 2023)
A survey was performed to gather information on the processing steps, conditions, and practices employed by industries processing ready-to-eat (RTE) leafy vegetables in Argentina. A total of seven industries participated ...
Modelling the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in Mediterranean fish species from aquaculture production
(Elsevier, 2018)
Over the last couple of decades, several studies have evaluated growth dynamics of L. monocytogenes in lightly processed and ready-to-eat (RTE) fishery products mostly consumed in Nordic European countries. Other fish ...
Inactivation of Salmonella Typhimurium in fresh-cut lettuce during chlorine washing: Assessing the impacts of free chlorine concentrations and exposure times
(Elsevier, 2023)
The aim of this study was to evaluate, quantify and model the inactivation of Salmonella in fresh-cut lettuce during washings with chlorinated water at different free chlorine concentrations (FCC, 0–150 mg/L). Individual ...
