Since the rose water is used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products, its microbiological control is necessary. Conventional pasteurization methods cause undesirable changes in taste, smell, medicinal properties and nutritional value with decreasing the amount of essential oil, because of high temperatures. In this study, the effects of the microwave power, temperature, ultrasound power,...

Hyperbaric storage (HS), storage under pressure at 25°C and 30°C, of a ready-to-eat (RTE) soup was studied and compared with refrigeration. Soup was stored at different time (4 and 8 h), temperature (4°C, 25°C, and 30°C), and pressure (0.1, 100, and 150 MPa) conditions, to compare microbial loads and physicochemical parameters. HS resulted in similar (microbial growth inhibition) to better (mic...

atmospheric pressure plasma (app) is an emerging non thermal technology for the improvement of food  safety. non-thermal plasma (ntp) is a neutral ionized gas that comprises highly reactive spices including, positive ions, negative ions, free radicals, electrons, excited or non excited molecules and photons at or near room temperature. ntp can be generated at atmospheric pressure that makes it ...

The human gut microbiota plays a key role in pharmacology, yet the mechanisms responsible remain unclear, impeding efforts toward personalized medicine. We recently identified a cytochrome-encoding operon in the common gut Actinobacterium Eggerthella lenta that is transcriptionally activated by the cardiac drug digoxin. These genes represent a predictive microbial biomarker for the inactivation...

Pulsed light is an emerging technology that can serve as alternative to current antimicrobial interventions in the food industry. The first objective of this study was define spectrum and energy characteristics pulsed light. second establish germicidal response Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica subsp. ser. Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus (vegetative cells endospores), A...

silver has been known and used as a potent antimicrobial and wound healing agent since ancient time. silver compounds have had other ancient applications through which greeks, romans and egyptians had used silver compounds as food and water preservative. silver and silver-based antimicrobials were put away after the discovery of antibiotics. meanwhile, with almost a century application of antib...
