Enhancement of Thermal Inactivation of Cronobacter sakazakii in Apple Juice at 58°C by Inclusion of Butyl Para-Hydroxybenzoate and Malic Acid
2022
Overview
After studies with powdered infant formula indicated that the enhancement of thermal inactivation of Cronobacter sakazakii by butyl para-hydroxybenzoate (BPB) was blocked by high protein concentrations, we hypothesized that BPB would retain its synergistic activity in foods with limited protein and lipid concentrations. This hypothesis was tested by examining the ability of BPB to enhance the thermal inactivation of C. sakazakii 607 at 58°C in commercial apple juice, including examining the effects of pH and possible synergistic effects with malic acid. Apple juice was adjusted to designated pH values of 3.2 to 9.0, supplemented with selected concentrations of BPB (≤125 ppm), inoculated with early-stationary-phase C. sakazakii 607, and thermally treated (58°C) for 15 min with a submerged coil apparatus. The same methods were used to study the enhancement of thermal inactivation by malic acid. Samples were plated on tryptic soy agar for recovery and enumeration. Survival curves were plotted, and D-values were calculated by linear regression and compared using the Tukey honestly significant difference test. BPB significantly enhanced thermal inactivation in a concentration dependent manner, with D-values of a few seconds at the original pH (3.8). The enhancement of thermal inactivation was pH dependent over the pH range of 3.4 to 9.0. Malic acid enhanced thermal inactivation; the pH was decreased from 3.8 to 3.2. These results support the hypothesis that BPB can enhance the thermal inactivation of C. sakazakii in low-protein and low-lipid foods.
BPB significantly enhanced thermal inactivation of C. sakazakii in apple juice heated at 58°C.BPB and thermal treatment were synergistic over a wide pH range (3.2 to 9.0).Inactivation kinetics was influenced by BPB concentration and the presence of injured cells.Malic acid enhanced thermal inactivation over the pH range of 3.2 to 4.2.
