Vegetables are major components of a healthy and balanced diet. However, 25% of foodborne diseases are linked to the consumption of vegetables.
The aim of this work was to assess the microbiological risks associated with consumption of ready to eat salads (RTE).
Microbiological challenge tests were carried out for the evaluation of the L. monocytogenes growth potential in RTE salads stored at different temperatures.
The results indicate that L.monocytogenes was able to grow (δ ≥ 0.5) in all storage conditions considered at the end of shelf life. In order to evaluate the virulence role of L. monocytogenes, the temperature-dependent transcription of major virulence genes was also investigated by RT-PCR.
The microbiological challenge test allowed us to confirm, as also demonstrated by other authors, that RTE salads are able to support the growth of L. monocytogenes strains (d δ≥ 0.5) stored under different temperatures.
蔬菜是健康均衡饮食的主要组成部分。然而,25%的食源性疾病与蔬菜消费有关。
这项工作的目的是评估即食沙拉(RTE)消费相关的微生物风险。
进行微生物挑战试验,以评估在不同温度下储存的即食沙拉中单核细胞增生李斯特菌的生长潜力。
结果表明,在保质期结束时所考虑的所有储存条件下,单核细胞增生李斯特菌都能够生长(δ≥0.5)。为了评估单核细胞增生李斯特菌的毒力作用,还通过逆转录聚合酶链反应研究了主要毒力基因的温度依赖性转录。
微生物挑战试验使我们能够证实,正如其他作者所表明的那样,即食沙拉能够支持在不同温度下储存的单核细胞增生李斯特菌菌株的生长(δ≥0.5)。
