Item type:Publication, Inhibitory effects of the combined application of lauric acid and monolaurin with lactic acid against Staphylococcus aureus in pork(2012-01-01); Khopaibool, PrapapornLauric acid and monolaurin in combination with lactic acid were evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing total plate count (TPC) and Staphylococcus aureus of fresh pork loin. Fresh pork loins were dipped in control (non treated), sterile distilled water, 3.2 mg/ml lauric acid, 0.4% (v/v) lactic acid, 0.2 mg/ml lauric acid + 0.1% (v/v) lactic acid, 0.1 mg/ml monolaurin, 0.05 mg/ml monolaurin + 0.1% (v/v) lactic acid solution. Total plate count, population of S. aureus and physical and sensory qualities were determined. TPC and S. aureus counts found in pork loin treated with lauric acid and monolaurin alone and in combination with lactic acid were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The colour, odour and overall acceptability of the pork loins were adversely affected by the treatment with lactic acid alone, but when combinations of the agents were used the sensory quality was acceptable. Furthermore, during storage, both lipids in combination with lactic acid controlled growth of S. aureus for 8 and 4 days of storage at 4 and 15 °C respectively, and TPC for 8 and 2 days of storage at 4 and 15 °C, respectively. The low pH of the antimicrobials caused the highest weight loss of range 4.41-5.38% drip loss, 22.56-23.35% cooking loss, and discolouration. In contrast, L<sup>*</sup>, PV, TBARS of pork in all treatments increased but shear force and a<sup>*</sup> decreased as storage was longer in all solution types (P < 0.05). However, for sensory acceptability, there was no loss of colour or adverse odour and the overall acceptability scores remained satisfactory. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Morphological and physiological responses of Campylobacter jejuni to stress(2006-01-01); ;Chanthachum, Suganya ;Khopaibool, PrapapornGriffiths, Mansel W.Under conditions of stress, cells of Campylobacter assume a coccoid shape that may be an evolutionary strategy evolved by the organism to enable survival between hosts. However, the physiology of Campylobacter as it devolves from spiral to coccoid-shaped morphology is poorly understood. In this study, conditions influencing the survival of Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 35921 in broth were determined. Cells in late log phase were resuspended in broth at 4 or 60°C. The culturability of these cold- or heat-stressed cell suspensions was determined by spread plate counts and the activity of cells by the direct viable count technique and 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyltetrazolium chloride staining. C. jejuni changed form completely from culturable to viable but nonculturable cells (VBNC) within 25 days at 4°C, and 15 min at 60°C. Light microscopy of C. jejuni VBNC cells showed that the spiral-shaped cells became coccoid, and transmission electron microscopy of C. jejuni VBNC cells showed that the outer membrane was lost in aging cell suspensions. Furthermore, a limited proteomic study was carried out to compare C. jejuni proteins that exhibited increased or decreased synthesis on exposure to 60°C.

Item type:Publication, Activity of virgin coconut oil, lauric acid or monolaurin in combination with lactic acid against Staphylococcus aureus(2012-01-01); Khopaibool, PrapapornThe objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro activities of virgin coconut oil, lauric acid and monolaurin in combination with lactic acid against two strains of Staphylococcus aureus, ATCC 25923 and an isolate from a pig carcass, by determination of Fractional Bactericidal Concentration Index (FBCI), time-kill method, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) of lauric acid, monolaurin and lactic acid were 3.2 mg/ml, 0.1 mg/ml and 0.4% (v/v), respectively. The effects of lauric acid + lactic acid and monolaurin + lactic acid combinations were synergistic against both strains, exhibiting FBCIs of 0.25 and 0.63, respectively. In time-kill studies, lauric acid and monolaurin + lactic acid combinations added at their minimum inhibitory concentrations produced a bactericidal effect. The induction of stress in non-stressed cells was dependent on the type and concentration of antimicrobial. This resulted in a loss and change of the cytoplasm and membrane in cells of the bacterium. In contrast, virgin coconut oil (10%) was not active against S. aureus. The bacterial counts found in pork loin treated with lauric acid and monolaurin alone were significantly higher (p <0.05) than those treated with both lipids in combination with lactic acid at sub-inhibitory concentrations. The color, odor and overall acceptability of the pork loins were adversely affected by treatment with the three lipids and lactic acid alone but when combinations of the agents were used the sensory quality was acceptable.
