Abstract:Two cheese varieties with different surface features (Gouda and Manchego) were tested for pulsed light decontamination of Listeria sp. on ready-to-eat presentations. Sensory quality and volatile profile were also studied. Cheese slices were flashed with fluences comprised between 0.9 and 8.4 J/cm 2 . The treatment was less effective in Manchego than in Gouda, in which 3 log cfu/cm 2 were obtained with 0.9 J/cm 2 . No sensory changes were observed due to the application of this dose. In Manchego slices, the max… Show more

“…Currently, a wide variety of cheeses are commercialized as ready‐to‐eat products (Fernández et al., 2016). However, cheeses are susceptible to bacterial post‐processing contamination during cutting, handling, or packaging steps, which can lead to food safety issues and significant losses due to deterioration (Proulx et al., 2015).…”

Nonthermal food processing technologies have received a lot of attention in recent years as an alternative to conventional heat treatments. The pulsed light treatment (PL) is mostly applied to prepackaged foods in order to avoid postprocess contamination. However, for PL to fulfill its purpose regarding packaged foods, the packaging must comply with a series of requisites that may result in safer and better-quality foods. This review focuses on packaging material requisites for packaging PL-treated foods. In addition, the influence of PL on the properties of the materials are addressed. Furthermore, aspects regarding decontamination of packages and foods as well as their quality are described. The PL treatment has shown a positive effect on decontamination of packaging, products derived from fruits and vegetables, meat products, dairy products, fish and seafood. In addition, PL often leads to the extension of the food shelf life. Practical applications The treatment of pulsed light has been growing commercially. This processing technology allows the food to be treated inside the packaging. Packaging materials based on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), and poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) are generally used in literature studies. Understanding what are the most common materials, the impact of pulsed light on its properties and performance in food processing is essential for the successful use of this promising technology.

“…2,2,4,4-tetramethyloctane is also the major compound of all the liquid fermentation samples (FC20d, FC40d, FC60d, FC80d, and FC100d). It was reported also in aged vinegar as an aroma compound [35], common wasp Vespula vulgaris colonies [36], Manchego and Gouda cheeses [37], Allium macrostemon flowers and aerial parts [38], the seeds and leaves of Synsepalum dulcificum [39], green teas [40], dry-cured meat products [41], and the stem of Guanyin tea [42]. It appears that this volatile mainly acts as an aroma compound from the plants and foods.…”

The artificial production of Ophiocordyceps sinensis mycelia and fruiting bodies and the Chinese cordyceps has been established. However, the volatile components from these O. sinensis products are not fully identified. An efficient, convenient, and widely used approach based on headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-QTOFMS) was developed for the extraction and the analysis of volatile compounds from three categories of 16 products, including O. sinensis fungus, Thitarodes hosts of O. sinensis, and the Chinese cordyceps. A total of 120 volatile components including 36 alkanes, 25 terpenes, 17 aromatic hydrocarbons, 10 ketones, 5 olefines, 5 alcohols, 3 phenols, and 19 other compounds were identified. The contents of these components varied greatly among the products but alkanes, especially 2,5,6-trimethyldecane, 2,3-dimethylundecane and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyloctane, are the dominant compounds in general. Three categories of volatile compounds were confirmed by partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). This study provided an ideal method for characterizing and distinguishing different O. sinensis and insect hosts-based products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
