Identification of a surrogate to validate irradiation processing of selected spices

Decontamination of herbs and spices by gamma irradiation and low-energy electron beam treatments and influence on product characteristics upon storage

“…The spices designated for the microbiological studies were surface-inoculated with Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354, as a nonpathogenic surrogate for Salmonella enterica (Arias-Rios et al, 2019). The procedure was carried out according to a protocol described elsewhere (ABC, 2014).…”

Spice fixed oils as a new source of γ-oryzanol: nutraceutical characterization of fixed oils from selected spices

“…4 As a result, there is a long list of spice nutraceutical compounds from crude extracts and new compounds are being added very oen. 10,13 The non-volatile oil of animal or plant origin (spices) is dened as xed oil (FO). The scientic knowledge on various spice FO fatty acid proles, antioxidant activities and nutraceutical compounds remains largely unexplored.…”
