RNA-Sequencing was employed to further elucidate the cross protective mechanism induced by heat preadaptation, and the results showed that the differentially expressed genes (DGEs) were mainly involved in cellular metabolism and membrane transport during heat preadaptation. A detailed analysis of gene expression profile of cells between heat treated and untreated revealed that genes associated with energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism and genetic information processing were induced upon heat stress. Results presented in this study may broaden our understanding on cross protection and provide a potential strategy to enhance the performance of cells during industrial processes.Salmonella is one of the most common causes of foodborne diseases and can cause severe economic loss. Increased antibiotic resistance, particularly of multidrug-resistant strains, has led to the use of phages as substitute agents. However, bacteriophages are usually sensitive to harsh environments. At present, microencapsulation is one of the methods to solve this problem. But there are few studies on the application of microencapsulated bacteriophages in food matrix. In this study, a novel Salmonella phage T156 was firstly studied for its biological characteristics. T156 belongs to the T5-like Siphoviridae family, with broad host spectrum and potent lytic ability against tested Salmonella strains, including multiple antibiotic-resistant Salmonella. It also showed valuable characteristics such as high pH (3.0-12.0), thermal tolerances (30-50 °C) and a short latent period (10 min). Genome analysis indicated T156 genome comprised a 123,849 bp DNA with 176 putative open reading frames, of which 56 ORFs were annotated to known functions. No genes associated with antibiotic resistance, virulence factor and lysogeny were found in T156 genome. Then, orifice-coagulation bath method was used to microencapsulate bacteriophage T156. Microencapsulated bacteriophage can effectively inhibit the growth of Salmonella in artificially contaminated milk and lettuce at 4 °C and 25 °C. At 25 °C, the maximum antibacterial efficacy of phage in milk and lettuce were 57.93% and 55.47%, respectively. This is the first report about microencapsulated bacteriophage infecting Salmonella in food matrix. It can provide insights into fundamental researches on microencapsulated bacteriophage for future utilization in food.Food safety is often based on the application of several preservative (hurdle) factors whose combination must be smartly selected. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lactate and diacetate on the high pressure processing (HPP) inactivation of three L. monocytogenes strains (CTC1011, CTC1034 and Scott A) in sliced cooked ham. Inoculated vacuum-packed slices of cooked ham formulated without organic acids and with lactate, diacetate or the combination of both were pressurized at 400 MPa for different holding times and the inactivation kinetics were characterised by fitting primary and secondary models. The shape of the inactivation curves for L. monocytogenes depended on both product formulation and strain. [https://www.selleckchem.com/mTOR.html signaling pathway] Interestingly, lactate caused a dose-dependent piezo-protection in all three strains, as the HPP inactivation rate decreased in cooked ham formulated with increasing amounts of lactate and in comparison with the control product. The design, validation and implementation of HPP requires a tailor-made approach, considering product formulation and selection of strain/s.Traditionally preserved meat products are common food items in Sikkim state of India. We studied the high-throughput sequencing of four traditionally preserved meat products viz. beef kargyong, pork kargyong, yak satchu and khyopeh to profile the bacterial communities and also inferred their predictive functional profiles. Overall abundant OTUs in samples showed that Firmicutes was the abundant phylum followed by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Abundant species detected in each product were Psychrobacter pulmonis in beef kargyong, Lactobacillus sakei in pork kargyong, Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and Ignatzschinera sp. in yak satchu and Lactobacillus sakei and Enterococcus sp. in khyopeh. Several genera unique to each product, based on analysis of shared OTUs contents, were observed among the samples except in khyopeh. Goods coverage recorded to 1.0 was observed, which reflected the maximum bacterial diversity in the samples. Alpha diversity metrics showed a maximum bacterial diversity in khyopeh and lowest in pork kargyong Community dissimilarities in the products were observed by PCoA plot. A total of 133 KEGG predictive functional pathways was observed in beef kargyong, 131 in pork kargyong, 125 in yak satchu and 101 in khyopeh. Metagenome contribution of the OTUs was computed using PICTRUSt2 and visualized by BURRITO software to predict the metabolic pathways. Several predictive functional profiles were contributed by abundant OTUs represented by Enterococcus, Acinetobacter, Agrobacterium, Bdellovibrio, Chryseobacterium, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Psychrobacter, and Staphylococcus.The effects of partial NaCl substitution combined with high-temperature ripening on the proteolysis and formation of volatile compounds in dry-cured lamb ham was investigated. Two salt treatments, I (0% KCl + 100% NaCl) and II (25% KCl + 75% NaCl), were considered. Although some studies have analyzed the influences of salt substitution on volatile compounds of dry-cured ham, no studies have evaluated lamb ham produced in China. Intensifying the high-temperature ripening lead to an increase in the formation of flavors generated by the Maillard reaction and Strecker degradation in both treatments, also, had a positive influence on proteolysis index and content of total free amino acids during the ripening stage. The application of 25% KCl did not influence the formation of volatiles during curing stage, however, there were more volatiles came from amino acids degradation in the final products with 25% KCl. Therefore, sodium reduction combined with high-temperature ripening may be an alternative method to manufacture Chinese dry-cured lamb hams.
