Journal ArticleDOI

Fresh fruits and vegetables—An overview on applied methodologies to improve its quality and safety

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the alternative and traditional methodologies is made, pointing out the significant advantage and limitations of each technique and highlighting some of their challenges and limitations. But, further research is still required, since none of the methods reported can control all the parameters necessary to achieve produce with an extending shelf-life, without compromising its quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of pH, type of acid and recovery media on the thermal inactivation of Listeria innocua.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the survival of this bacteria is higher when combining low temperature with neutral pH, and when TSAYE is the enumeration medium, and the temperature and pH effects on the kinetic parameters were successfully developed and described accurately.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biopreservation approaches to reduce Listeria monocytogenes in fresh vegetables.

TL;DR: Two biopreservation approaches for fresh lettuce, rocket salad, parsley and spinach were studied and proposed methodologies are promising alternatives to maintain the safety of fresh vegetables during extended storage at refrigeration temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Balsamic vinegar from Modena: An easy and effective approach to reduce Listeria monocytogenes from lettuce

TL;DR: Balsamic vinegar washings may be a promising method for reducing other foodborne pathogens present in produce or other foods, at home and retail environments after applying at an inoculated level of Listeria monocytogenes on Iceberg lettuce.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat inactivation of Listeria innocua in broth and food products under non-isothermal conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of three linear temperature profiles (heating rates of 1.5, 1.8 and 2.6°C/min, from 20 to 65°C) on Listeria innocua inactivation in liquid medium was studied.
