Summary: This study investigates the antibacterial effect of pomegranate juice (PJ) on Listeria innocua and Escherichia coli. The results show that the antibacterial effect of PJ is dependent on bacteria species, juice concentration, incubation temperature, and growth medium. Higher juice concentration and incubation temperature result in increased antibacterial effects. Listeria innocua is more sensitive to PJ than E. coli in distilled water systems. PJ can effectively inhibit the growth of L. innocua and E. coli in bacterial culture broth with concentrations of >= 20%.

Summary: Kombucha has been successfully used as a non-conventional starter culture for producing kombucha fresh cheese, which has a shorter fermentation time compared to using commercial starter culture XPL-1. Kombucha fresh cheese exhibited high antimicrobial activity, reducing the total count of E. coli and L. monocytogenes significantly during storage, which can be attributed to the antimicrobial effects of kombucha starter and the high total phenols content in the kombucha sample.

Summary: Mulberry leaf polyphenols (MLP) have shown great potential in antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, but little is known about their anti-adhesion activity and mechanism against foodborne pathogens. This study found that subminimal inhibitory concentrations of MLP significantly inhibited the adhesion of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes on fresh-cut lettuce. MLP prevented the biosynthesis of EPS, flagella, and pili, which in turn inhibited the initial adhesion of the two pathogens. Thus, MLP of low concentration can be promisingly applied to control the initial adhesion of pathogens and eliminate foodborne pathogens in fresh produce processing.

Summary: There are various opportunities to reduce loss and waste and extend the shelf life of fresh produce beyond optimizing the cold chain. Factors such as plant genotype, presence of phytopathogens, maturity at harvest, environmental conditions, storage conditions, and postharvest treatments all affect the shelf life and food safety of produce. Therefore, manipulating ripening-related traits through plant breeding or using pre- and postharvest treatments to delay senescence and decay can decrease loss and extend the shelf life. The article also discusses the food safety considerations of these applications.

Summary: Recent apple-related recall and outbreak events have highlighted the need for better food safety controls in the supply chain. Fungal contamination, such as Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum, can cause significant rot-associated losses to the apple industry and may also impact the growth of foodborne pathogens. This study aimed to observe the population changes of Listeria innocua as a surrogate for L. monocytogenes on apples inoculated with mold under long-term controlled atmosphere cold storage conditions, providing insights into the effects of postharvest mold growth on food safety.

Summary: This study characterizes the properties of onion waste extracts, including their high content of phenolic compounds and strong antioxidant and antiproliferative activities. The extracts demonstrated the ability to inhibit cell proliferation through various mechanisms and protect against oxidative stress-induced damage to the intestines. In-silico analysis identified specific phenolic compounds with high intestinal permeability. These findings suggest that these onion waste extracts have the potential to be utilized as functional ingredients and medicinal agents in the treatment of diseases related to oxidative stress, such as cancer, while also contributing to the development of a circular economy.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the structural changes, lipolysis kinetics, and curcumin bioaccessibility of κ-carrageenan (KC) or agar (AG) emulsion gels (EG) and KC oil-filled aerogels (OAG) during in vitro digestion. The results showed that EG and aerogels released bulk oil and gelled material in the stomach phase, but the release was lower in EG-AG and OAG-KC compared to EG-KC. After small intestinal conditions, EG and oil-filled aerogels exhibited a wide range of particle sizes due to undigested lipid material and gelled structures. Adding curcumin to the lipid phase did not cause significant structural modifications during digestion. The lipolysis kinetics were slower and lower in κ-carrageenan emulsion gels compared to agar-based gels. Curcumin decreased the lipolysis in all structures and showed high bioaccessibility in intestinal fluids.

Summary: Water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsions have the potential to deliver hydrophilic bioactive compounds into foods, but their instability limits their application. This study investigated the impact of lipid phase composition and state on the stability, lipid digestibility, and bioaccessibility of chlorophyllin (CHL) in W1/O/W2 emulsions before and after incorporation into whole milk. It was found that emulsions formulated with medium-chain triglyceride oil (MCT) or MCT with glyceryl stearate (GS) were more stable and had better digestibility and bioaccessibility compared to those formulated with pure hydrogenated palm oil (HPO).

Summary: The preparation and processing of fruits and vegetables generate byproducts that can be a risk to the environment but also serve as valuable sources of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds. Enhancing the functional and health-related properties of these fiber-rich products requires treatments that alter their structure, such as enzymes and physical technologies like ultrasound and high-pressure processing. The use of these treatments can improve their solubility, adsorption, and retardation capacities, but their effectiveness depends on the specific source and desired outcome.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the discrimination ability and detection limit of visible and short-wave near-infrared hyperspectral imaging features and spectral information on early implicit bruised pears. Physical characteristics were more sensitive than chemical parameters for bruised pears during postharvest storage. The changes in spectral variations at specific wavelengths could explain the bruising changes in pears. Discrimination models based on selected spectral variables could effectively identify bruised pear areas, and the combination of imaging features and spectral variables achieved higher discrimination rates.

H2S increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes by up-regulating the expression of enzyme genes, reducing the accumulation of harmful substances. Furthermore, H2S increased the content of cysteine and nitrate in pakchoi by regulating the expression of related genes and enzyme activities, thus slowing down the senescence of pakchoi.
