    查看更多>>摘要:Food authentication verifies the match between product characteristics and claims and it is crucial in a globalized and complex food sector.Currently,class-modelling approaches,such as soft independent modelling of class analogy(SIMCA),are powerful tools for assessing food authenticity.The aim of this review is to discuss the application of SIMCA for food authentication and to describe the conceptual differences between discriminant and class-modelling approaches.The discussion of research articles is organized around three elements:(ⅰ)the research objectives,(ⅱ)the analytical methodologies,and(ⅲ)the food products investigated.Moreover,the challenges and future perspectives consid-ering the development of innovative food products are discussed.Adulteration is the most investigated food authentication issue,followed by verification of geographical origin.Food authenticity appeared to be predominantly evaluated using non-destructive spectroscopy.Overall,the articles collectively cover a broad spectrum of food categories,representing those most prone to adulteration.However,there is a notable lack of food authentication studies on innovative food products,underscoring the urgency for further research in this field.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background:In recent years,food safety has become a global public health concern.Microbial contamination is one of the most common food safety issues.Staphylococcus aureus is a common foodborne pathogen that can form biofilms on the surface of food processing equipment,leading to greater resistance to antimicrobial agents than occurs with planktonic bacteria.Materials and methods:In this work,recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)cells expressing optimized lysostaphin(Lst)were constructed,recombinant Lst was produced and purified,and Lst enzymatic assays were performed,followed by antimicrobial testing of Lst.Finally,a mix-ture of Lst and DNase Ⅰ was tested for antibiofilm activity.Results:The protein content of purified Lst was 0.6 mg/mL and the enzyme activity was 240 U/mL.The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of Lst against S.aureus was 0.1 μg/mL.At 1 MIC,Lst exerted an effect on the growth,cell wall integrity and cell membrane permeability of S.aureus.Conclusions:Although Lst alone also showed good inhibition and disruption of S.aureus biofilms,the inhibition and disruption of S.aureus biofilms were significantly greater when Lst was mixed with DNase Ⅰ.This is probably because DNase I removes extracellular DNA,affecting biofilm formation and dispersing mature biofilms,and thereby facilitating the penetration of Lst.

    查看更多>>摘要:Furanocoumarins in citrus fruit can cause adverse drug interactions;however,there are few reports on furanocoumarins and drug interactions in common edible citrus cultivars except grapefruit.An ultra-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC)-based method for ten furanocoumarins in citrus fruit was established,and the effects on cytochrome P450 activity were investigated.Furanocoumarins were more abundant(2-43 times)in the peel than in the pulp.The pulp of Xiyou,Hongyou,and Navel orange exhibited P450 inhibition,with 50%maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)values of 0.63,0.67,and 1.02 mg/mL,respectively.The peel of all the varieties except Huyou and Satsuma exhibited P450 inhibition.Xiyou,Baiyou,Huangjinyou,Hongyou,Ponkan,and Navel orange had IC50 values of 0.33.0.76,0.38,0.35,0.43.and 0.37 mg/mL,respectively.These findings indicate that,except for Xiyou,Hongyou,and Navel orange,the consumption of the pulp of popular Chinese varieties of citrus fruit has a low risk of drug interactions,and the use of citrus products including peel may carry a significant risk of adverse drug interactions.

    查看更多>>摘要:Milk product market is currently experiencing profound diversification,marked by an increasing presence of specialty milk and dairy products alongside traditional cow milk.These specialty varieties include yak,sheep,buffalo,and goat milk.Given their limited availability,these spe-cialty milks often command higher prices than cow milk,rendering them susceptible to adulteration through substitution with the latter.Such fraudulent practices result in significant economic damage and pose risks to public health.Consequently,numerous identification methods have been devised to trace the origin of dairy products.Although the prevailing methods predominantly focus on analyzing the nutrient composition of these products,this review aims to explore more cost-effective,sensitive,accurate,and efficient techniques.This endeavor begins with a comprehensive analysis of the common nutrients found in different dairy sources available on the market.Subsequently,this study elucidates various techniques employed for adulterating milk sources,with a specific emphasis on targeting these nutrients.Furthermore,a systematic comparative analysis was performed to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the diverse detection methods.This review provides a theor-etical framework essential for the subsequent development of detection technologies for milk source identification.

    查看更多>>摘要:Objectives:To deveop on-pack visual indicators for the real-time monitoring of raw beef steaks in a modified atmospheric packaging(MAP).Materials and Methods:Three indicators were prepared by spray deposition of a nanocellulose suspension(1.5%,in mass)with the desired concentration of the pH-sensitive indicators,either red cabbage(RC)extract,black carrot(BC)extract,or chlorophenol red(CPR).The responsive-ness of the colorimetric pH indicators,assessed visually and by CIE-Lab quantitative analysis,to the freshness of raw beef steaks stored under MAP conditions at 4 ℃ or 20 ℃,was analysed over 7 d.Results:All the indicators showed a colour change for beef steak stored at 4 ℃ for 7 d that was noticeable with the naked eye and had a ΔE value>12.The sensitivity of the RC pH indicator was superior to that of the BC and CPR pH indicators.A study linking total microbial count(aerobic+Escherichia coli+coliform)and the quantitative colorimetric response of the indicators(ΔE)revealed a strong linear correlation.Conclusions:The developed colorimetric pH indicators could be used to monitor the freshness of raw beef and as an alternative to the best-before date commonly used in pre-packaged meat.

    查看更多>>摘要:Objectives:The contamination of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxins(AFs)is one of the most serious safety problems in food and feed.The dis-covery and application of plant-sourced antifungal agents are hot topics in mycotoxin control.In this study,we aim to develop efficient strategies to control A.flavus and subsequent contamination by AFs.Materials and Methods:We focused on Zongye essential oil,which was extracted from Indocalamus latifolius leaves(Zongye,the trad-itional food-packaging materials).Its antifungal and antitoxin activities were observed by volatile test,and the significant morphological and ultrastructural variations were observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)analyses.The main components of Zongye essential oil were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).RNA sequencing(RNA-Seq)and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)analyses were used to reveal the inhibitory mechanism.Results:Among them,No.2 Zongye essential oil completely inhibited the growth and toxin production of A.flavus after 10 μL treatment.Under Zongye essential oil treatment,evidently morphological and ultrastructural variations were observed,such as hyphae shrinkage,partial distor-tion,and a decrease in conidia number.Longifolene and linalool were the major constituents of Zongye essential oil,accounting for 9.55%and 7.95%,respectively,and linalool had stronger inhibitory effects on fungal growth and mycotoxin biosynthesis than longifolene.Based on the experimental results,the antifungal mechanism was proposed:down-regulations of membrane proteins(AFLA_005560,AFLA_019420,and AFLA_084310,etc.)and conidial genes(fbIC,steA,and abaA,etc.)inhibited fungal development,and anti-aflatoxigenic activity might be due to significant down-regulation of AF cluster genes and global regulators(AtfA and AtfB).Conclusion:A novel antifungal agent,Zongye essential oil,was identified,and its inhibitory mechanism was comprehensively clarified,which is helpful to control AF contamination in an environmentally friendly way.
