Intrinsic factors
• Composition• pH• Presence and availability of water• Oxidation-reduction potential
– altered by cooking
• Physical structure• Presence of antimicrobial substances

Composition and pH
• Putrefaction– proteolysis and anaerobic breakdown of
proteins, yielding foul-smelling amine compounds
• pH impacts make up of microbial community and therefore types of chemical reactions that occur when microbes grow in food
![Page 5: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Water availability
• In general, lower water activity inhibits microbial growth
• Water activity lowered by:– drying– addition of salt or sugar
• Osmophilic microorganisms– prefer high osmotic pressure
• Xerophilic microorganisms– prefer low water activity

Physical structure
• Grinding and mixing increase surface area and distribute microbes– promotes microbial growth
• Outer skin of vegetables and fruits slows microbial growth
![Page 8: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Antimicrobial substances
• Coumarins – fruits and vegetables
• Lysozyme – cow’s milk and eggs
• Aldehydic and phenolic compounds – herbs and spices
• Allicin – garlic
• Polyphenols – green and black teas
![Page 9: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Extrinsic factors• Temperature
– lower temperatures retard microbial growth
• Relative humidity– higher levels promote microbial growth
• Atmosphere– oxygen promotes growth– modified atmosphere packaging
• use of shrink wrap and vacuum technologies to package food in controlled atmospheres

Microbial growth and food spoilage• Food spoilage
– results from growth of microbes in food• alters food visibly and in other ways, rendering it
unsuitable for consumption
– involves predictable succession of microbes– different foods undergo different types of
spoilage processes– toxins are sometimes produced
• algal toxins may contaminate shellfish and finfish• fungal toxins contaminate grains
![Page 11: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Toxins
• Ergotism– toxic condition caused by growth of a fungus,
Claviceps purpura, in grains (← production of hallucinogenic alkaloids)
• Aflatoxins– carcinogens produced in fungus-infected grains
and nut products (Aspergillus flavus)
• Fumonisins– carcinogens produced in fungus-infected corn (Fusarium moniliforme)

Removal of microorganisms
• Usually achieved by filtration
• Commonly used for water, beer, wine, juices, soft drinks, and other liquids
![Page 19: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

19
Low temperature
• Refrigeration at 5°C retards but does not stop microbial growth– microorganisms can still cause spoilage
with extended spoilage
– growth at temperatures below -10°C has been observed
![Page 20: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

High temperature
• Canning
• Pasteurization
![Page 21: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

21
Canning
• Food heated in special containers to 115° C for 25 to 100 minutes
• Kills spoilage microbes, but not necessarily all microbes in food
![Page 22: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

22
Spoilage of canned goods
• Spoilage prior to canning
• Underprocessing
• Leakage of contaminated water into cans during cooling process
![Page 23: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

23
Pasteurization
• Kills pathogens and substantially reduces number of spoilage organisms
• Different pasteurization procedures heat for different lengths of time– shorter heating times result in improved
flavor
![Page 24: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Chemical-based preservation
• GRAS– chemical agents “generally recognized
as safe”
• pH of food impacts effectiveness of chemical preservative
![Page 25: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

26
Radiation• Ultraviolet (UV) radiation
– used for surfaces of food-handling equipment
– does not penetrate foods
• Radappertization– use of ionizing radiation (e.g. gamma ray) to
extend shelf life or sterilize meat, seafoods, fruits, and vegetables
– kills microbes in moist foods by producing peroxides from water
• peroxides oxidize cellular constituents
![Page 27: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

27
Microbial product-based inhibition
• Bacteriocins– bactericidal proteins active against related species– some dissipate proton motive force of susceptible
bacteria– some form pores in plasma membranes– some inhibit protein or RNA synthesis
* e.g., nisin - produced by some strains of Streptococcus lactis - used in low-acid foods to inactivate Clostridium
botulinum during canning process
![Page 28: Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies. Permission required ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/554aa5e7b4c905df668b4b07/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

- mushrooms, Spirulina, etc.
• Probiotics– microbial dietary adjuvants– microbes added to diet in order to provide
health benefits beyond basic nutritive value

Prebiotics
• Oligosaccharide polymers that are not processed until they enter large intestine
• Synbiotic system – combination of prebiotics and probiotics– results in an increase in production of
butyric acid and propionic acids that may be responsible for possible beneficial effects of probiotics
