    Abstract Escherichia coli are a group of bacteria that are a natural part of the intestinal flora of warm‐blooded animals, including humans. Most E. coli are nonpathogenic and essential for the normal function of a healthy intestine. However, certain types, such as Shiga toxin‐producing E. coli (STEC), which is a foodborne pathogen, can cause a life‐threatening illness. The development of point‐of‐care devices for the rapid detection of E. coli is of significant interest with regard to ensuring food safety. The most suitable way to distinguish between generic E. coli and STEC is by using nucleic acid‐based detection, focusing on the virulence factors. Electrochemical sensors based on nucleic acid recognition have attracted much attention in recent years for use in pathogenic bacteria detection. This review has summarized nucleic acid‐based sensors for the detection of generic E. coli and STEC since 2015. First, the sequences of the genes used as recognition probes are discussed and compared to the most recent research regarding the specific detection of general E. coli and STEC. Subsequently, the collected literature regarding nucleic acid‐based sensors is described and discussed. The traditional sensors were divided into four categories such as gold, indium tin oxide, carbon‐based electrodes, and those using magnetic particles. Finally, we summarized the future trends in nucleic acid‐based sensor development for E. coli and STEC including some examples of fully integrated devices.

    Abstract Air is recognized as an important source of microbial contamination in food production facilities and has the potential to contaminate the food product causing food safety and spoilage issues for the food industry. Potential for aerial microbial contamination of food can be a particular issue during storage in cold rooms when the food is not packaged and is exposed to contaminated air over a prolonged period. Thus, there are potential benefits for the food industry for an aerial decontamination in cold storage facilities. In this paper, aerial decontamination approaches are reviewed and challenges encountered for their applications are discussed. It is considered that current systems may not be completely effective and environmentally friendly, therefore, it is of great significance to consider the development of nonresidual and verified decontamination technologies for the food industry and, in particular, for the cold storage rooms.

    Abstract AIMS: To develop an oxygen sensor‐based method for testing total aerobic viable counts (TVC) in raw meat samples and cattle carcass swabs, which is rapid, simple, affordable, provides good sensitivity and analytical performance and allows on‐site use. METHODS AND RESULTS: The test uses the same sample preparation procedure as the established plate counting TVC method for meat samples and carcasses, ISO4833‐1:2013. After this liquid samples are transferred into standard 25‐ml vials with built‐in phosphorescent O₂ sensors and incubated on a block heater with hourly readings of sensor signals with a handheld reader, to determine signal threshold time (TT, hours) for each sample. The method is demonstrated with the quantification of TVC in industrial cuts of raw beef meat (CFU per g) and carcass swabs (CFU per cm²). Calibration curves were generated, which give the following analytical equations for calculating the TVC load in unknown samples from measured TT values: TVC [Log(CFU per cm²)] = 7.83–0.73*TT(h) and TVC [Log(CFU per g)] = 8.74–0.70*TT(h) for the carcass swabs and meat samples respectively. The new tests show good correlation with the ISO methods, with correlation coefficients 0.85 and 0.83 respectively. The testing requires no dilutions, covers the ranges 2–7 Log(CFU per g) for the meat samples and 1–7 Log(CFU per cm²) for carcass swabs, and has time to result 1–10 h with faster detection of more contaminated samples. CONCLUSIONS: The sensor‐based testing demonstrates simplicity, high speed, sample throughput and automation. It can provide a straightforward replacement for the conventional TVC tests, which are time consuming, laborious and have time to result of 48–72 h. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The method(s) can be adopted by the meat industry and research labs, and used to improve microbial quality and safety of meat products and processes.

    Abstract Microbial food contamination is a major concern for consumers and food industries. Consumers desire nutritious, safe and “clean label” products, free of synthetic preservatives and food industries and food scientists try to meet their demands by finding natural effective alternatives for food preservation. One of the alternatives to synthetic preservatives is the use of natural anti-microbial agents in the food products and/or in the packaging materials. Meat and processed meat products are characteristic examples of products that are highly perishable; hence natural anti-microbials can be used for extending their shelf-life and enhancing their safety. Despite several examples of the successful application of natural anti-microbial agents in meat products reported in research studies, their commercial use remains limited. This review objective is to present an extensive overview of recent research in the field of natural anti-microbials, covering essential oils, plant extracts, flavonoids, animal-derived compounds, organic acids, bacteriocins and nanoparticles. The anti-microbial mode of action of the agents, in situ studies involving meat products, regulations and, limitations for usage and future perspectives are described. The review concludes that naturally derived anti-microbials can potentially support the meat industry to provide “clean label”, nutritious and safe meat products for consumers.
