  • Utilization of Synbiotics, Acidifiers, and a Polyanhydride Nanoparticle
    Utilization of Synbiotics, Acidifiers, and a Polyanhydride Nanoparticle Vaccine in Enhancing the Anti-Salmonella Immune Response in Laying Hens Post-Salmonella Challenge Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ashley D. Markazi, M.S. Graduate Program in Animal Sciences The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Ramesh K. Selvaraj, Advisor Michael S. Lilburn, Co-Advisor Renukaradhya Gourapura Lisa Bielke Copyright by Ashley D. Markazi 2018 ABSTRACT Salmonellosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella, is most commonly attributed to the consumption of poultry eggs and meat. The current project examined the effects of drinking water synbiotics, in-feed acidifiers, and a polyanhydride nanoparticle Salmonella vaccine in enhancing the anti-Salmonella immune response and decreasing Salmonella infection in laying hens. The synbiotic experiment was conducted to study the effects of drinking water supplementation of synbiotic product in laying hens with and without a Salmonella challenge. A total of 384 one-day-old layer chicks were randomly distributed to the drinking water synbiotic supplementation or control groups. At 14 wk of age, the birds were vaccinated with a Salmonella vaccine, resulting in a 2 (control and synbiotic) X 2 (non-vaccinated and vaccinated) factorial arrangement of treatments. At 24 wk of age, half of the birds in the vaccinated groups and all the birds that were not vaccinated were challenged with Salmonella Enterica serotype Enteritidis, resulting in a 3 (vaccinated, challenged, vaccinated+challenged) X 2 (control and synbiotic) factorial arrangement. At 8 d post-Salmonella challenge, synbiotic supplementation decreased (P = 0.04) cecal S.

  • Industrial Validation of a Promising Functional Strain of Lactobacillus Plantarum to Improve the Quality of Italian Sausages
    microorganisms Article Industrial Validation of a Promising Functional Strain of Lactobacillus plantarum to Improve the Quality of Italian Sausages Daniela Campaniello, Barbara Speranza, Antonio Bevilacqua *, Clelia Altieri, Maria Rosaria Corbo * and Milena Sinigaglia Department of the Science of Agriculture, Food and Environment (SAFE), University of Foggia, 71122 Foggia, Italy; [email protected] (D.C.); [email protected] (B.S.); [email protected] (C.A.); [email protected] (M.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (M.R.C.) Received: 18 December 2019; Accepted: 12 January 2020; Published: 15 January 2020 Abstract: This paper proposes the industrial validation of a functional strain of Lactobacillus plantarum (strain 178). First, acidification in a meat model medium and bioactivity towards Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli were assessed; the performances of Lb. plantarum 178 were compared to those of a commercial Lb. sakei and a probiotic Lb. casei. Lb. plantarum 178 inhibited the pathogens and experienced a higher acidification at 15 ◦C. Lb. casei and Lb. plantarum were used for an industrial fermentation of traditional Italian sausages. The strains assured the correct course of fermentation and inhibited pathogens and enterobacteria. This study represents the scaling up and the validation of a promising strain at industrial level and shows the possibility of performing the fermentation of traditional Italian sausage through functional starter cultures, combining the benefit of a controlled fermentation and possible health benefits. Keywords: functional starter cultures; meat; validation; Lactobacillus plantarum 1. Introduction The awareness of consumers of the importance of some foods in diet is increasing, along with the knowledge of the benefits derived from the use of certain microorganisms—therefore, thanks to new biotechnologies, some traditional processes have been modified to improve the quality of the final product.
