Gallic Acid as an Oxygen Scavenger in Bio-Based Multilayer Packaging Films
Oxygen scavengers are used in food packaging to protect oxygen-sensitive food products. A mixture of gallic acid (GA) and sodium carbonate was used as an oxygen scavenger (OSc) in bio-based multilayer packaging films produced in a three-step process: compounding, flat film extrusion, and lamination. We investigated the film surface color as well as oxygen absorption at different relative humidi...
متن کاملInteractions in syntrophic associations of endospore-forming, butyrate-degrading bacteria and h(2)-consuming bacteria.
Butyrate is an important intermediate in the anaerobic degradation of organic matter. In sulfate-depleted environments butyrate is oxidized to acetate and hydrogen by obligate proton reducers, in syntrophic association with hydrogen-consuming methanogens. This paper describes two enrichments of endospore-forming bacteria degrading butyrate in consortia with methanogens. The isolates are readily...
متن کاملMonitoring endospores and endospore - forming bacteria populations in commercial skim milk powder pro
The microflora of milk powder consists of a wide array of microorgan isms of which special attention is given to Bacillus endospores. Bacillus endospores survive pasteurization and spray drying and inhabit the final powder product in the dormant state indefinitely. Once the powder is re constituted, endospores may germinate, and through their enzymatic ac tivity become detrimental to quality...
متن کاملPyrroloquinoline-quinone: a reactive oxygen species scavenger in bacteria.
Transgenic Escherichia coli expressing pyrroloquinoline-quinone (PQQ) synthase gene from Deinococcus radiodurans showed superior survival during Rose Bengal induced oxidative stress. Such cells showed significantly low levels of protein carbonylation as compared to non-transgenic control. In vitro, PQQ reacted with reactive oxygen species with rate constants comparable to other well known antio...
متن کاملGene conservation among endospore-forming bacteria reveals additional sporulation genes in Bacillus subtilis.
The capacity to form endospores is unique to certain members of the low-G+C group of Gram-positive bacteria (Firmicutes) and requires signature sporulation genes that are highly conserved across members of distantly related genera, such as Clostridium and Bacillus. Using gene conservation among endospore-forming bacteria, we identified eight previously uncharacterized genes that are enriched am...
