- Abstract
- This study investigated the synergistic effects of combined ultrasound (US; 37 kHz, 380 W for 10-60 min) and peroxyacetic acid (PAA; 50-200 ppm) on reducing Cronobacter sakazakii biofilms on cucumbers. US was not sufficient to eliminate C. sakazakii biofilms (0.04-0.60 log-reduction), whereas PM (200 ppm) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced biofilm formation on cucumber (0.89-1.88 log reduction). Furthermore, the combination of 60 min US and 200 ppm PM resulted in an additional 1.63 log-reduction of C sakazakii biofilms (3.51 log-reduction = 1.88 + 1.63 log). Synergistic reduction of C sakazakii biofilms was observed in most combined treatment, although the most synergistic reduction values were <1.0 log(10) CFU/cm(2). The highest synergistic value of reduction in cucumber was 1.03-1.08 log(10) CFU/cm2 when treated with a combination of 60 min US and 150-200 ppm PM. In addition, the Hunter color("L", "a", and "b"), moisture contents(%), and texture(hardness and chewiness) after combined treatment with 60 min US and 200 ppm PM did not differ significantly from those of cucumbers exposed to a single treatment. These results indicate that combined treatment with 60 min US and 150-200 ppm PM could be a useful approach to reduce C. sakazakii biofilms on fresh-produce and could help enhance their shelf-life during transportation and storage.
