Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wash composition for increasing the shelf life of fruit, vegetable and/or animal produce.
  • PPO Polyphenyl oxidase
  • the activity of PPO is high in foods that are particularly sensitive to oxidative browning, such as potatoes, apples, mushrooms, bananas, peaches, fruit juices and wines. Browning is exacerbated by tissue damage caused by cutting, peeling, comminuting, pureeing. pitting, pulping or freezing. In uncut or undamaged fruits and vegetables, the phenolic substrates are separated from PPO by conipartmentalisation. and browning does not occur.
  • browning is an oxidative reaction, it can be retarded by the elimination of oxygen from the cut surface of the fruit or vegetable. However, this is not always feasible and browning will occur rapidly when oxygen is reintroduced. Thus, a more feasible and practical approach for the prevention of browning is the use of anti-browning agents. Anti-browning agents are compounds that act primarily on either the enzyme or the intermediates of pigment formation. Their use in the food industry is constrained by issues such as toxicity. cost and effects on taste, texture and colour.
  • Sulfites are potent, non-specific reducing agents and although they are effective at inhibiting both the enzymatic and non enzymatic browning reactions, there is growing concern over their use. Adverse health effects associated with sulfite usage and increased and regulatory scrutiny have stimulated the search for practical, functional alternatives to sulfating agents.
  • Crops such as apples, grapes and carrots will tolerate temperatures near freezing.
  • Other crops for example cucumbers, peppers, summer squash, sweet potatoes and mature green tomatoes, will undergo chill injury if stored below about 12°C for more than a few days.
  • Flume and spray washing of raw fruits and vegetables can be successfully used to reduce surface populations of micro-organisms. Not all types of produce are amenable to the physical stresses associated with such washing treatments, however, and must therefore be disinfected by subjecting the produce to other treatments. Sterilisation by repeated washing, even with sterile water, cannot be achieved because viable micro-organisms within tissues of produce remain in place.
  • Chlorine in an aqueous solution, exhibits rapid microbiocidal action. Lethality has been attributed to chlorine combining with cell membrane proteins to form N-chloro compounds which in turn interfere with cell metabolism. Inhibition of enzymes sensitive to oxidation by chlorine also appears to be involved in the inactivation of micro-organisms. But failure to maintain adequate chlorine in wash water can actually lead to increased microbial populations on produce. In a study designed to determine micro biological changes in fresh market tomatoes during packing operations, it has been observed that total plate counts and populations of enterobacteriaceae increased on tomatoes washed in water. Additionally, the possibility of flavour and depth of colour changes can and do occur.
  • Ozone (0 ) has been investigated as an agent for decontaminating bioclean rooms in hospitals and other facilities used to treat patients with diseases with a great risk of infection. Although not as effective as formaldehyde, ozone is convenient to use and can be rapidly removed from the air after treatment. For these reasons, ozone has some potential for use as a disinfectant for air and surfaces in contained areas in which produce may be stored or processed.
  • Ozone at parts per million (ppm) concentrations, is lethal to a wide variety of micro-organisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi and amoebae. High relative humidity generally favours microbiocidal activity.
  • sensory quality of produce can be preserved by storage under an atmosphere with modified carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen content.
  • the optimum percentage of these gasses differs depending upon the fruit or vegetable, the temperature of storage and the desired end use of the product.
  • Microbial growth can also be controlled, within limits, by modifying the composition of gas in contact with fruits and vegetables.
  • an extension of sensory shelf life may simultaneously increase the probability that high populations of pathogens will be present on produce at point of consumption.
  • the shelf life of asparagus, broccoli and cauliflower stored under modified atmosphere can be extended substantially but with a corresponding increase in the populations of L. monocytogenes and Aeromonas aerogenes. thereby increasing the public health hazards associated with consumption of these vegetables.
  • Reducing agents act by causing the chemical reduction of the pigment precursors. This effect is temporary since the reducing agents are oxidised irreversibly in the reaction. The non-specificity of reducing agents can also result in products with off flavours and/or off colours.
  • Anti-microbial compounds either naturally present in fruits and vegetables or formed in response to physical or chemical stresses can contribute to extending shelf life.
  • a large number of naturally occurring compounds are commonly found in fruits and vegetables.
  • Organic acids whether naturally 4 present in raw fruits and vegetables or accumulated as a result of fermentation, have been relied upon for years to control microbial spoilage. Some organic acids behave primarily as fungicides or fungistats. while others are more effective at inhibiting bacterial growth.
  • Acetic, citric, succinic. malic, tartaric, benzoic and sorbic acids are the major organic acids naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables.
  • the mode of action of these acids is attributed to direct pH reduction, depression of internal pH of microbial cells by ionisation of the undissociated acid molecule, or disruption of substrate transport by alteration of cell membrane permeability.
  • organic acids may also inhibit NADH oxidation, thus eliminating supplies of reducing agents to electron transport systems.
  • washes and sprays containing organic acids has been successful in decontaminating beef. lamb, pork and poultry carcasses.
  • Application of organic acid washes to the surface of fruits and vegetables for the purpose of reducing populations of viable micro-organisms also has potential. Since the undissociated portion of the acid molecule is primarily responsible for anti-microbial activity, effectiveness depends largely upon the dissociation constant(s) (pKa) of the acid. Because the pKa. of most organic acids is between pH 3 and 5, surface application would be most effective on fruits. However, treatment of vegetables with an organic acid wash followed by washing with potable water to achieve removal of the acid is also a means of partial disinfection.
  • medium-chain fatty acids In addition to organic acids, medium-chain fatty acids, containing 12-18 carbon atoms, also exhibit anti-microbial activity. Generally, fatty acids are most effective against gram positive bacteria and yeasts, although some are inhibitory to moulds as well. Modes of action have been attributed to outer membrane dysfunction, reduction of oxygen uptake, alterations in cell membrane permeability or uncoupling of the electron transport chain of specific proteins responsible for ATP regeneration and nutrient transport into the cell.
  • Fatty acid esters of sucrose and other polyhydric alcohols are industrially synthesised for use as emulsifiers in food formulations. However, these compounds are also produced naturally in plants and have been demonstrated to have broad-spectrum anti-microbial activity at ppm concentrations. The effectiveness of medium-chain fatty acids and fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols as sanitisers for raw fruits and vegetables is limited by their solubility in water.
  • a group of plant anti-microbial chemicals are the phytoalexins. These low-molecular-weight compounds are synthesised by tissues in response to microbial infection or stress conditions such as injury or physiological stimuli. Phytoalexins alter the properties of plasma membranes and inhibit electron transport in mitochondria. They are produced by many different plants and plant tissues, including roots, tubers, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. Legumes are capable of producing several different phytoalexins having broad- spectrum anti-microbial activity. It is known that carrot tissue fluid is lethal to L. Monocytogenes. The active compound may be 6-methoxymellein. although confirmation has not been made. Also reported that 6-methoxymellein inhibits growth of both fungi and bacteria.
  • Natural anti-browning agents are also known.
  • a novel inhibitor isolated from fig extracts analysis showed 4-substituted resorcinol's.
  • 4-Substituted resorcinol's were also screened for their ability to act as PPO inhibitors.
  • 4-substituted resorcinol's 4-hexylresorcinol has the greatest potential for use in the food industry due to its low IC 50 (the concentration necessary to result in 50% inhibition of enzyme activity in a spectrophotometric assay system), positive results from tests in food systems, and its long safe history of human use in non-food applications.
  • 4-hexylresorcinol is non-toxic, non- mutagenic and non-carcinogenic and is generally recognised as safe (GRAS) for use in the prevention of shrimp melanosis.
  • GRAS safe
  • Results from laboratory studies indicate that 4-hexylresorcinol also inhibits the browning of fresh and dried apple and potato slices, avocado (in guacamole) and liquid systems such as apple and white grape juices.
  • the 4-substituted resorcinol's have several advantages over sulfites for use in foods: their activity is specific towards PPO: they do not 'bleach' pigments in the way that excess sulfites can: and they are chemically stable.
