Advances in strawberry postharvest preservation and packaging: A comprehensive review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 23(4)

Published: July 1, 2024

Abstract Strawberries spoil rapidly after harvest due to factors such as the ripening process, weight loss, and, most importantly, microbial contamination. Traditionally, several methods are used preserve strawberries and extend their shelf life, including thermal, plasma, radiation, chemical, biological treatments. Although these effective, they a concern from perspective of safety consumer acceptance treated food. To address issues, more advanced environment‐friendly technologies have been developed over past decades, modified controlled atmosphere packaging, active biopolymer‐based or edible coating formulations. This method can not only significantly life fruit but also solve concerns. Some studies shown that combining two strawberries, which could contribute expanding global supply chain for delicious fruit. Despite large number underway in this field research, no systematic review has published discussing advances. aims cover important information about postharvest physiology, decay factors, preservation strawberry fruits. It is pioneering work integrates, relates, discusses all on fate handling one place. Additionally, commercially techniques were discussed provide insight into current developments suggest future research directions study. enrich knowledge academic industrial researchers, scientists, students trends packaging

Occurrence of Moulds and Yeasts in the Slaughterhouse: The Underestimated Role of Fungi in Meat Safety and Occupational Health

Foods, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(8), P. 1320 - 1320

Published: April 11, 2025

Despite their potential impact on meat safety and occupational health, fungi are often underestimated contaminants in slaughterhouses. Moulds yeasts may be associated with contamination multiple processing stages, mycotoxigenic species, such as Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, pose food concerns. Bioaerosols carry infectious at the slaughterhouse that capable of causing respiratory conditions allergies. Chronic exposure to mycotoxins can have hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, carcinogenic effects humans. While bacterial has been widely studied, fungal remains overlooked due limited evidence immediate disease perception its risks lower than those bacteria, which contribute insufficient research, awareness, standardised surveillance protocols. This review compiles published data occurrence slaughterhouses over past twenty-five years. It highlights primary mould yeast isolated mainly identified based morphological microscopic characteristics, providing context for role health. The findings emphasise need improved risk assessment monitoring plants. Standardised detection control protocols also suggested implementation enhance workplace conditions.

ANTIBIOTIC ACTIVITY OF BACILLACEAE FAMILY REPRESENTATIVES AGAINST RHIZOPUS STOLONIFER

Bulletin of KSAU, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 0(1), P. 49 - 56

Published: Jan. 29, 2025

The aim of the study is to test antibiotic activity representatives Bacillaceae family against mycelial fungus Rhizopus stolonifer Vuillemin (1902). strains Bacillus altitudinis, atrophaeus, cereus, megaterium, simplex, subtilis, Peribacillus simplex and sp. were used, isolated by authors from agricultural soils Krasnoyarsk Region in previous studies showing antagonism phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium spp., Alternaria Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Geotrichum candidum, as well seed mold pathogens genus Aspergillus, Penicillium Mucor. studied R. was assessed Petri dishes using counter culture method. area colony presence antagonist strain a percentage control variant (without antagonist) after 10 days incubation at temperature (25 ± 1) °C used an indicator activity. Of 21 tested strains, 4 did not exhibit towards stolonifer; 16 showed weak or moderate (reduction fungal colonies 29.1–79.1 % relative control); 1 high 92 control). No relationship found between taxonomically close zygomycete Mucor (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient Rs = 0.272, statistically insignificant). Based on results studies, B. atrophaeus RSA9 can be proposed agent for biological method controlling stolonifer.
