The present study evaluated the effect of yogurt-based marinade combined with active essential oil components (EOs) namely: thymol (TH), carvacrol (CA), and cinnamaldehyde (CI) on Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. in camel meat (CM) chunks during storage at 4 and 10 °C. Fresh cocktail mixtures of L.monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. strains were inoculated on CM samples. Subsequently, a yogurt-based marinade, with or without 1% or 2% of the added EOs, was mixed with the CM chunks. After treatment, marinated camel samples were stored at 4 and 10 °C for 0, 1, 4 and 7 days. Adding yogurt-based marinade to the CM samples did not cause any significant changes in L.monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. numbers at 4 °C, but at 10 °C resulted in a significant decrease in numbers on day 4 and 7 of storage by 1.4-1.5; 2.7-2.1 and 2.5-2.8 log CFU/g, respectively, compared to untreated CM samples. The incorporation of EOs into the CM with marination (CMM) further enhanced the microbial reduction of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella. At 10 °C, the synergistic effect of EOs with marinade was greater than at 4 °C. Increasing the concentration of the EOs used in this study from 1% to 2%, enhanced E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. reduction during storage at 4 and 10 °C while L.monocytogenes numbers were not affected. Increasing active EO component concentrations to 2% caused further significant reductions in Salmonella spp. in the CMM samples during storage by 1.0-2.7 log CFU/g (P ˂ 0.05) at 4 and 10 °C. At 10 °C, increasing the concentration of CI and TH to 2% caused a further reduction (P ˂ 0.05) of E. coli O157:H7 numbers by days 4 and 7 in the range of 3.6-4.4 log CFU/g. Among all tested EOs, 2% TH and 2% CI had the greatest effect against E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. in CMM during storage at 4 and 10 °C. In comparison to CMM, the highest scores of all examined sensory attributes were found in CMM samples with 1% and 2% CI added. Results indicate that the EO component CI can be used as an effective tool to decrease populations of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. in CM with minor sensory changes.
本研究评估了酸奶基腌料与活性精油成分(即:百里酚(TH)、香芹酚(CA)和肉桂醛(CI))结合对骆驼肉(CM)块中单核细胞增生李斯特菌、大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和沙门氏菌的影响在 4 和 10°C 下储存。将新鲜的单核细胞增生李斯特菌、大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和沙门氏菌混合菌株鸡尾酒混合物接种到 CM 样品上。随后,将酸奶基腌料与 1%或 2%添加的精油混合,与 CM 块混合。处理后,将腌制的骆驼肉样品在 4 和 10°C 下储存 0、1、4 和 7 天。在 4°C 下,向 CM 样品中添加酸奶基腌料不会导致单核细胞增生李斯特菌、大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和沙门氏菌数量发生任何显着变化,但在 10°C 下,与未处理的 CM 样品相比,储存第 4 和 7 天的数量分别减少了 1.4-1.5;2.7-2.1 和 2.5-2.8 log CFU/g。在 10°C 下,精油与腌料(CMM)结合对大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和沙门氏菌的微生物减少有协同作用。在 4°C 下,精油与腌料的协同作用大于 10°C。研究中使用的精油浓度从 1%增加到 2%,在 4 和 10°C 下储存时,大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和沙门氏菌的减少量增加,而单核细胞增生李斯特菌的数量不受影响。在 4 和 10°C 下,将活性精油成分的浓度增加到 2%,导致 CMM 样品中沙门氏菌的数量进一步减少,范围为 1.0-2.7 log CFU/g(P ˂ 0.05)。在 10°C 下,CI 和 TH 的浓度增加到 2%,在第 4 和 7 天导致大肠杆菌 O157:H7 的数量进一步减少,范围为 3.6-4.4 log CFU/g。在所有测试的精油中,2%的 TH 和 2%的 CI 对 4 和 10°C 下储存的 CMM 中的大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和沙门氏菌的影响最大。与 CMM 相比,添加 1%和 2%CI 的 CMM 样品在所有检查的感官属性中得分最高。结果表明,精油成分 CI 可作为减少 CM 中大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和沙门氏菌数量的有效工具,感官变化较小。
