Publication Open Access Influence of acid adaptation on the probability of germination of Clostridium sporogenes spores against pH, NaCl and time(MDPI, 2020) Valero, Antonio; Olagüe Ramos, Elena; Medina Pradas, Eduardo; Garrido Fernández, Antonio; Romero Gil, Veronica; Cantalejo Díez, María Jesús; García Gimeno, Rosa María; Pérez Rodríguez, Fernando; Posada Izquierdo, Guiomar Denisse; Arroyo López, Francisco Noé; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta ElikaduraThe Clostridium sp. is a large group of spore-forming, facultative or strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive bacteria that can produce food poisoning. The table olive industry is demanding alternative formulations to respond to market demand for the reduction of acidity and salt contents in final products. while maintaining the appearance of freshness of fruits. In this work, logistic regression models for non-adapted and acid-adapted Clostridium sp. strains were developed in laboratory medium to study the influence of pH, NaCl (%) and time on the probability of germination of their spores. A Clostridium sporogenes cocktail was not able to germinate at pH <5.0, although the adaptation of the strains produced an increase in the probability of germination at 5.0-5.5 pH levels and 6% NaCl concentration. At acidic pH values (5.0), the adapted strains germinated after 10 days of incubation, while those which were non-adapted required 15 days. At pH 5.75 and with 4% NaCl, germination of the adapted strains took place before 7 days, while several replicates of the non-adapted strains did not germinate after 42 days of storage. The model was validated in natural green olive brines with good results (>81.7% correct prediction cases). The information will be useful for the industry and administration to assess the safety risk in the formulation of new processing conditions in table olives and other fermented vegetables.Publication Open Access Efecto de la maduración en la conservación de la carne de potro(Asociación Interprofesional para el Desarrollo Agrario, 2018) Ruiz Darbonnens, Marta; Beriain Apesteguía, María José; Insausti Barrenetxea, Kizkitza; Cantalejo Díez, María Jesús; Sarriés Martínez, María Victoria; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOODPara el desarrollo del presente estudio, se investigó el efecto de la maduración del músculo Longissimus dorsi (LD), por un lado como pieza entera y por otro lado tras el fileteado, sobre los parámetros de calidad de la carne de potro. Se emplearon músculos madurados 24 horas en la canal procedentes de ocho potros quincenos de raza Burguete. Cada lomo se dividió en dos partes iguales. Una parte no fue madurada, y la segunda fue madurada 7 días. Posteriormente, ambas partes fueron fileteadas y los filetes fueron conservados durante 9 días en bandejas cubiertas con film permeable al oxígeno en un expositor. No hubo interacción entre la maduración en el lomo y el tiempo de conservación posterior del filete. Los valores de textura fueron bajos desde el comienzo siendo considerada 'tierna'. Debido a la maduración, el enrojecimiento (a*) fue intenso y el contenido de metamioglobina fue bajo, pero la oxidación de los lípidos y la degradación del olor aumentaron. Cuando la maduración se llevó a cabo en filete, el tiempo de conservación y la atmósfera rica en oxígeno hicieron que la carne de potro se deteriorara rápidamente. La oxidación de los lípidos y la mioglobina y la degradación del color aumentaron día a día. Además, cuanto más tiempo estuvo expuesta la carne al oxígeno, peores fueron las valoraciones de color y olor sensorial de la carne de potro. El tiempo de conservación de la carne de potro fue inferior a 3 días, siendo el color característico el factor limitante.Publication Open Access Combined effects of ozone and freeze-drying on the shelf-life of Broiler chicken meat(Elsevier, 2016) Cantalejo Díez, María Jesús; Zouaghi, Ferdaous; Pérez Arnedo, María Irache; Tecnología de Alimentos; Elikagaien TeknologiaThe effects of ozone on the shelf-life extension of freeze-dried chicken meat fillets stored at 21 ± 1 C were investigated. The samples were exposed to gaseous ozone with three ozone concentrations of 0.4, 0.6 and 0.72 ppm during 10, 30, 60 and 120 min. The shelf-life of the ozonated freeze-dried chicken meat samples was determined using both microbiological and sensory analyses during 8 months of storage. Ozone and lyophilisation (Combined treatments) were shown to be valid in retarding the growth of most microbial groups from the first month of storage. High microbial counts were found in frozen meat from month 6 onwards, with total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB) counts above 7 log cfu/g and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts above 5 log cfu/g, whereas decreases of 6.8 and 4.77 log cfu/g for TAMB and LAB counts were reported in combined treated samples when compared with untreated meat (frozen meat). Also, 3.26 and 1.41-log reductions were observed with respect to non-ozonated freeze-dried meat (trt-0). Regarding sensory characteristics, the combined use of ozone and lyophilisation would be useful in extending the shelf-life of raw chicken breast meat up to 8 months, whilst the samples treated only with lyophilisation showed a 4 month shelf-life.Publication Open Access Study of modified atmosphere packaging on the quality of ozonated freeze-dried chicken meat(Elsevier, 2016) Zouaghi, Ferdaous; Cantalejo Díez, María Jesús; Tecnología de Alimentos; Elikagaien Teknologia; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) conditions on the physicochemical and sensory properties of ozonated freeze-dried chicken meat stored at 21 ± 1 °C for 28 days. To this end, 14 MAP treatments were performed to obtain the most suitable packaging atmosphere.High concentrations of O2in MAP promoted loss of redness and increased the pH values. Moreover, when the concentration of CO2in MAP was more than 40%, high values of textural parameters and low scores of sensory hardness and chewiness were achieved. The 20%CO2/80%N2 gas combination was found to be the most effective treatment for best maintaining the physicochemical and sensory quality of ozonated dried chicken samples similar to that of raw meat.Publication Open Access Manual metodológico sobre sostenibilidad alimentaria a través del aprendizaje-servicio(Technischen Universität Graz, 2024) Cantalejo Díez, María Jesús; Martínez Aldaya, Maite; Vilches Plaza, Carlos; Navarlaz Fernández, Isabel; Murkovic, Michael; Siegmund, Barbara; Pfeiffer, Lena; Ghnimi, Sami; Chriki, Sghaier; Dunne, Julie; Barry-Ryan, Catherine; McMahon, Cormac; Cavicchi, Alessio; Ferrara, Annapia; Tomasi, Sabrina; Toccoli, Fabrizia; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOODEste manual es el resultado de este trabajo conjunto.

A total of 184 meat samples were collected from different retailers in La Rioja (Spain). The presence of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes were detected in 24.46% and 10.32% of the meat samples respectively. L. monocytogenes was the predominant Listeria spp. found in chicken, quail and pork meat, while L. innocua and L. welshimeri were the predominant species in duck and turkey meat respectively. A total of thirty-three strains (55.93%) of Listeria spp. were found to be multi-resistant (resistant to ≥3 families of antibiotics). The highest multi-resistant rates were observed in L. monocytogenes (73.68%) and L. innocua (70.59%), followed by L. ivanovii (50%). Resistance to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were found in L. monocytogenes strains isolated from chicken, being of special concern, since these antibiotics are used in the treatment of listeriosis. Special measures should be taken to reduce meat contamination such as adequate handling, correct preparation (cooking) and cleaning and disinfection in order to avoid cross-contamination.Publication Open Access Manuel méthodologique sur la durabilité alimentaire par le biais de l'apprentissage par le service(Technischen Universität Graz, 2024) Cantalejo Díez, María Jesús; Martínez Aldaya, Maite; Vilches Plaza, Carlos; Navarlaz Fernández, Isabel; Murkovic, Michael; Siegmund, Barbara; Pfeiffer, Lena; Ghnimi, Sami; Chriki, Sghaier; Dunne, Julie; Barry-Ryan, Catherine; McMahon, Cormac; Cavicchi, Alessio; Ferrara, Annapia; Tomasi, Sabrina; Toccoli, Fabrizia; Ciencias; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Zientziak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Agronomía, Biotecnología y AlimentaciónCe travail collaboratif a abouti à ce manuel.

The experimental data obtained for each strain was fitted to the primary growth model of Baranyi and Roberts to estimate the following kinetic parameters: lag phase (λ), maximum specific growth rate (μmax), and maximum cell density (Nmax). Then, the effect of storage temperature on the obtained μmax values was modeled by the Ratkowsky secondary model. In general, the six L. monocytogenes strains showed rapid growth in salmon pâté at all storage temperatures, with a relatively short lag phase λ, even at 2 °C. The growth behavior among the tested strains was similar at the same storage temperature, although significant differences were found for the parameters λ and μmax. Besides, the growth variations among the strains did not follow a regular pattern. The estimated secondary model parameter Tmin ranged from −4.25 to −3.19 °C. This study provides accurate predictive models for the growth of L. monocytogenes in fish pâtés that can be used in shelf life and microbial risk assessment studies. In addition, the models generated in this work can be implemented in predictive modeling tools and repositories that can be reliably and easily used by the fish industry and end-users to establish measures aimed at controlling the growth of L. monocytogenes in fish-based pâtés.Publication Open Access Methodological handbook in food sustainability through service-learning(Technischen Universität Graz, 2024) Cantalejo Díez, María Jesús; Martínez Aldaya, Maite; Vilches Plaza, Carlos; Navarlaz Fernández, Isabel; Murkovic, Michael; Siegmund, Barbara; Pfeiffer, Lena; Ghnimi, Sami; Chriki, Sghaier; Dunne, Julie; Barry-Ryan, Catherine; McMahon, Cormac; Cavicchi, Alessio; Ferrara, Annapia; Tomasi, Sabrina; Toccoli, Fabrizia; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOODThis handbook is the result of this joint work.
