Adaptive response of Listeria monocytogenes to heat and its impact on food safety
چکیده انگلیسی

Listeria monocytogenes is an important food associated pathogen because of its relatively high heat resistance and ability to multiply in refrigeration temperatures. Its thermotolerance can be increased when its cells are subjected to heat shock. One- to eight-fold increase of D values of L. monocytogenes have been reported, depending on the heat shock duration, the temperature and the heating menstrum. This acquisition of heat tolerance is related to the induction of the synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs).The adaptive response of food pathogens has important consequences on the safety of thermally processed foods. It is believed that this is responsible for the frequent occurrence of deviations (tails and shoulders) during heat treatments that are observed in the exponential model of microbial inactivation. These deviations from log-linear kinetic especially encountered under mild heat treatments, mean that prediction of food safety can no longer rely upon D and z values. Adaptive response to heat must be considered when quantifying and modeling microbial inactivation during thermal processing in order to achieve microbiologically safe products without overly conservative heat processes. Therefore a more mechanistic approach is needed for more accurate predictions of thermal inactivation. Prerequisite to this model are thorough studies to understand how L. monocytogenes and other pathogens adapt their cellular physiology to overcome heat and other stresses.
