    Efficacy of Ultraviolet Light and Antimicrobials to Reduce Listeria monocytogenes in Chill Brines By Priti P. Parikh Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Science and Technology Approved: Robert C. Williams, Chair Kumar Mallikarjunan Joseph D. Eifert Joseph E. Marcy November 1, 2007 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes , ultraviolet light, brine, citric acid, dimethyl dicarbonate, hydrogen peroxide Copyright 2007, Priti Parikh Efficacy of Ultraviolet Light and Antimicrobials to Reduce Listeria monocytogenes in Chill Brines by Priti P. Parikh ABSTRACT Chill brines used in ready-to-eat meat processing may be an important source of post- processing contamination by Listeria monocytogenes . The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of ultraviolet light (UV) in combination with antimicrobials to reduce L. monocytogenes in fresh and used chill brines. Three different antimicrobials were used in combination with UV; citric acid (CA, 0.2 and 0.5%), dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC, 250 and 500 ppm), and hydrogen peroxide (HP, 2000 and 4000 ppm). For fresh brine studies, brine (8.0% w/v NaCl) was prepared and inoculated with a cocktail of three L. monocytogenes strains (approximately 6 log CFU/mL). Brine was treated with UV alone, antimicrobials alone, and combination of UV and antimicrobials. Moreover, to observe the effect of treatment temperature and brine circulation through the UV system on survival of listeriae cells, inoculated brine was circulated through the system without any treatment that served as control for all the treatments.

  • Recycling of Fermented Brine in Citron Curing1
    Recycling of Fermented Brine in Citron Curing1 L. E. Cancel and E. R. de Hernández2 ABSTRACT Fermented brine in citron curing was recycled successfully by centrifu- gation at 12,000 r/m of the used solution to remove suspended material, and then adding salt to the desired level of concentration. Eleven consecu­ tive fermentations using the recylced brine produced good cured citron. Brine reusal in citron curing makes three important contributions to the citron curing industry: 1) It shortens fermentation time to about two days; 2) it can save about 78 percent of the salt used; 3) it eliminates the brine waste disposal problem. INTRODUCTION Fermentation of citrons and cucumbers is conducted in brine. The pro­ cess is characterized by prolonged periods of curing during which numerous microbiological, chemical, and physical changes take place (1,2,4,5). The curing of both citrons and cucumbers can be divided into two steps: a) initial phase or fermentation period during which the fruit or vegetable pulp is conditioned or modified for further candying or pickling, and b) a brine storage period before the final operation of candying and/or piclding. The initial phase or fermentation period in both cases takes a minimum of 5 to 10 days by adjusting the concentration and the temperature of the brine. The period may be extended several months, however, if proper conditions are not maintained. Citron fruit is sliced in halves or diced to the desired size and placed in a salt solution (brine) for fermentation. This process removes the bitterness, clears the mesocarp, softens the tissues, and makes it possible to absorb high concentrations of sugar.

  • Effective Tips to Becoming a Master of Healthy Eating
    MEAL PLANNING, HEALTHY COOK BOOK, MEAL PLANS _____________________________________________________________________________________ Effective tips to becoming a master of healthy eating: 1. Know the 3 important blood sugar stabilization principles: • Eat a balanced meal every 3-4 hours • Maintain balanced nutrient ratios at every meal (protein, fat and carbs) • Consume the correct amount of calories at each meal (based on metabolic rate testing) o Each meal should be no less than 200 calories § Aim to eat 200-300 calories for females § Aim to eat 300-400 calories for males 2. Meal Balance is key • Do not eat whole grains as the carbohydrates for the last one or two meals. For example, after 4:30p.m., eat vegetables and/or fruit instead of bread, pasta, or rice • The last meal could be just a protein (i.e., cottage cheese or chicken breast) • Try not to eat carbs alone (i.e., apple with almond butter) • It is important to watch your serving size with most foods, especially fats, carbohydrates, and high calorie proteins. You can eat more than one serving of lean proteins such as chicken breasts and cottage cheese o You can eat as many vegetables as you would like, but at least 4-5 servings per day. o Eat 1-3 servings of fruit each day • Eat healthy foods….this is not a fad diet! • NO STARVING! Fire up that metabolism! 3. Believe in the Importance of QUALITY food • Less ingredients on the label means less processing and slower digesting (less sugar spikes) • Eat food in a state closest to its NATURAL state (less cooked and refined) • Go for higher FIBER foods (more fiber slows digestion and less sugar spikes) o Goal is around 45-50 grams a day o Take 15 grams in a supplement form twice a day with rest from foods • Less Sodium means higher quality o Sodium makes you retain water leading to bloating and weight gain o A bloated digestive system will not work properly leading to more weight gain o Limit to less than 2,000mg a day Page 1 of 179 4.
