The aim of this study was to evaluate the synergistic antimicrobial effect of xenon light (XL) and citric acid (CA) combination against Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes on spinach leaves and determine the effect of XL-CA combination on quality of spinach leaves. The XL-CA combined treatment for 8 min synergistically decreased the cell counts of E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium by 5.25 and 5.05 log CFU/cm, respectively, and additively decreased the L. monocytogenes cells by 5.02 log unit on spinach. The mechanisms underlying synergistic lethal effect of the XL-CA combination were investigated. Qualitative and quantitative analyses revealed that the bacterial cell membrane damage was strongly associated with the synergistic antimicrobial effect of the XL-CA combination. Additionally, treatment with XL-CA combination for 8 min did not affect the quality attributes (color, total phenol contents, and texture) of spinach leaves. These results suggest that the XL-CA combination treatment can be effectively used to control major pathogens on fresh produce.
本研究旨在评估氙气光(XL)与柠檬酸(CA)联合对菠菜叶上大肠杆菌 O157:H7、鼠伤寒沙门氏菌和单核细胞增生李斯特菌的协同抗菌效果,并确定 XL-CA 联合处理对菠菜叶片质量的影响。8 分钟的 XL-CA 联合处理分别协同降低了大肠杆菌 O157:H7 和鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的细胞计数 5.25 和 5.05 log CFU/cm,并且对菠菜上的单核细胞增生李斯特菌细胞的减少量为 5.02 log 单位。研究了 XL-CA 联合的协同致死作用的机制。定性和定量分析表明,细菌细胞膜损伤与 XL-CA 联合的协同抗菌效果密切相关。此外,用 XL-CA 联合处理 8 分钟不会影响菠菜叶片的质量属性(颜色、总酚含量和质地)。这些结果表明,XL-CA 联合处理可有效用于控制新鲜农产品上的主要病原体。
