Milena Sinigaglia

TL;DR: The results of this research showed that the use of fresh tomatoes colonized by fusaria could increase significantly the risk of outbreaks due to some pathogens that could be on the surface of fruits and vegetables as a result of cross-contamination at home or incorrect postharvest operations.

TL;DR: The main goal of this paper was the prolongation of the microbiological acceptability limit (MAL) of gilthead sea bream fillets, added with some natural antimicrobials and packed under modified atmosphere; desirability approach was used, and the research was divided into two different steps.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of spoilage micro-organisms in packaged cut coconut stored at 4, 12, 21 and 24 � C was monitored, and the shelf-life of the product was kinetically modelled in order to check the effects of storage temperature and to assess the microbial indices most relevant for hygiene and quality.

TL;DR: A strain of Lactobacillus plantarum and 4 strains of bifidobacteria were inoculated in apple juice and in a commercial beverage labeled as "red-fruit juice," containing citrus extracts as natural preservatives; the suitability of the probiotics was evaluated in relation to their resistance to 2 kinds of citrus extracts, survival in juices at 4 and 37 °C, and inhibition of Zygosaccharomyces bailii.

TL;DR: The high microbial loads suggest that an improvement of the microbiological quality of poultry meat is necessary if the producers are going to propose this new meat preparation on the market.
