This study evaluates the survival of probiotics in multi-strain products compared to single strains in an in vitro colon simulation. Results indicate that all probiotic strains could be detected after simulations, showing no significant differences in survival levels between single and multi-strain formulations. The findings suggest that multi-strain probiotics do not negatively affect each other's survival.
Control of Microorganisms by Lowering pH (by Adding Organic Acids)Amna Jalil
油
This document discusses methods for controlling microorganisms through lowering the pH, specifically by adding organic acids. It defines pH and explains how most microbes grow best around pH 7 but some bacteria can grow at pH lower than 4. Organic acids like sorbic acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid are commonly used to lower the pH of foods and inhibit microbial growth. Their effective pH ranges are listed. The document also provides information on measuring pH and discusses how lowering pH through acidification or fermentation can preserve foods.
Bacteria regulate their internal pH through various mechanisms to survive in different external pH environments. The internal pH of cells is maintained near neutral through the use of buffers and ion pumps, even when the external pH is highly acidic or alkaline. Acidophilic bacteria can tolerate very low external pH levels down to 0 through specialized internal pH regulation. Neutrophilic bacteria have mechanisms to reduce effects of low external pH on their internal pH. Alkaliphilic bacteria maintain a slightly acidic internal pH despite living in high pH environments and also regulate internal pH through homeostasis.
Microbial growth involves an increase in cell numbers through cell division and reproduction. There are four phases of microbial growth: lag phase as cells adapt to their environment; log or exponential phase of rapid cell division; stationary phase as resources are depleted and growth balances mortality; and death phase as cells die off. Microbial growth is influenced by environmental factors like pH, temperature, gas availability, and pressure.
(1) The study found that adding probiotics and molasses to the rearing media tended to accelerate the growth stages of swimming crab larvae, increase their survival rates, body weights and carapace lengths compared to probiotics alone, though the differences were not statistically significant. (2) The combination of probiotics and molasses also better controlled the populations of pathogenic Vibrio bacteria. (3
The document discusses factors that affect microbial growth in foods. It describes the microbial growth curve and identifies four main factors that influence growth: intrinsic properties of the food itself, extrinsic environmental conditions, implicit properties of microorganisms, and processing factors. Specific intrinsic factors discussed include nutrients, pH, water activity, and antimicrobial constituents. Extrinsic factors include temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric gases. Implicit factors include microbial interactions like mutualism and antagonism.
This document discusses various topics relating to bacterial growth, including:
- Bacterial growth occurs through binary fission or budding, where a parent cell splits into two daughter cells. Generation time is the time required for a cell to divide.
- Bacterial growth can be measured directly through plate counts, which involve serial dilutions and counting colony-forming units, or indirectly through metabolic activity.
- Bacterial growth phases include a lag phase, log/exponential phase, stationary phase, and death phase.
- Bacteria have various physical and chemical requirements for growth, such as appropriate temperatures, pH levels, oxygen levels, carbon sources, and nutrients.
- Culture media such as solid and liquid
Factors affecting microbial growth include pH, moisture, nutrient content, oxygen, and light. pH is important as most bacteria grow best near neutral pH, and even small pH changes can greatly impact growth rates. Moisture is essential and bacteria require more moisture than yeasts or molds. Nutrient content must provide elements like carbon, nitrogen, and minerals for growth. Oxygen requirements differ between obligate aerobes that need oxygen, facultative anaerobes that grow with or without oxygen, and obligate anaerobes that cannot tolerate oxygen. Light is only essential for photoautotrophs.
This chapter discusses the requirements for microbial growth, including physical factors like temperature, pH, and osmotic pressure as well as chemical requirements like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. It also covers culture media that can be used to grow microbes in the lab, including nutrient broth, selective media, and differential media. The chapter describes how to obtain pure cultures using the streak plate method and calculates microbial generation time. It outlines the phases of a bacterial growth curve, including the lag, exponential, stationary, and death phases.

This document discusses the physical factors that influence the growth of microorganisms, including temperature, pH, osmotic pressure, hydrostatic pressure, and radiation. It describes how each factor affects microbial growth and membranes. Temperature is the most important physical factor, as it can damage enzymes and membranes at extremes. Microbes are classified based on their optimal temperature ranges, such as psychrophiles, mesophiles, thermophiles, and hyperthermophiles. Optimal pH and osmotic pressure ranges also determine bacterial classifications like acidophiles, alkalophiles, halophiles, and osmotolerant microbes. Higher hydrostatic pressures and radiation can also impact microbial growth.
The document discusses various factors that affect bacterial growth, including:
- Binary fission, where bacteria divide into two equal cells through asexual reproduction.
- Bacterial growth follows logarithmic or exponential growth, doubling with each cell division.
- Stages of bacterial growth are lag phase, log/exponential phase, stationary phase, and death phase.
- Classification of bacteria is based on nutrient requirements, temperature preferences, pH tolerance, and oxygen requirements, which all impact their growth rates.
Probiotics are living microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. They help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut and can aid in digestion, strengthen the immune system, and reduce risks of certain diseases. Common probiotic strains include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. Probiotics are available in foods like yogurt as well as supplements like tablets and capsules. Consuming probiotics may benefit those with digestive issues, weak immune systems, or frequent infections.

Temperature is a key process factor that affects microbial growth and reproduction in foods. Microorganisms have three cardinal temperatures - minimum, optimum, and maximum temperatures - for growth. The optimum temperature for the growth of most pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in foods is around 30属C.
The document discusses various extrinsic environmental factors that affect the growth of microorganisms, with a focus on temperature. It describes how microorganisms can be classified based on their optimal temperature ranges for growth, including psychrophiles, mesophiles, and thermophiles. The effects of temperature on microbial physiology and metabolism are explored, as well as its implications for food storage and safety.
Redox potential (Eh) is a physicochemical concept that reflects the ratio of oxidized and reduced forms of metabolites in a substrate. It acts selectively on the development of microorganisms in foods. Eh is expressed as a Eh-value, which is actually a measure of the oxidizing or reducing power of a chemical system. Reductions and oxidations are inseparable processes based on the transfer of electrons from one material to another. Materials that easily release electrons are good reducing agents, and those that easily accept electrons are good oxidizing agents. The redox potential of a substrate depends on pH, chemical composition, presence and mutual relationship of reductive (SH groups of proteins, hydrogen sulfide, ascorbic acid
The document discusses water activity (aw), which is an important factor that determines the development of microorganisms. aw represents the available water content in a substrate that microorganisms can use for their metabolic activity. It is defined as the ratio between the equilibrium vapor pressure of water in a food and the vapor pressure of saturated water vapor at the same temperature. aw values range from 0-1 and influence the growth and toxin production of various microorganisms. Foods are categorized based on their aw values as high, intermediate, or low moisture foods.
The document discusses pH and its impact on microorganisms. It defines pH as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and describes the pH scale. It provides examples of the optimal and tolerated pH ranges for various bacteria, and discusses how pH affects the growth and development of different groups of microorganisms in foods. It also gives approximate pH values of various foods, meats, seafoods, and dairy products.
This document discusses nutrient utilization and microbial growth. It summarizes that microorganisms require nutrient-rich mediums containing amino acids and vitamins for growth. Milk contains low levels of free amino acids and peptides, so microbes have developed complex proteolytic systems to break down milk proteins into usable peptides and amino acids. These systems include extracellular proteinases and intracellular peptidases that hydrolyze proteins and peptides. The proteolytic system allows microbes to obtain essential amino acids needed for growth.
This document discusses the nutrients and conditions needed for the growth of microorganisms in foods. It notes that microbes break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in foods and can produce beneficial or harmful compounds. Under favorable conditions like sufficient nutrients and proper storage, microbe populations can increase exponentially to 107 cells/g within 8 hours. Controlling intrinsic factors such as pH, water activity, and antimicrobial components is important for microbiological control of foods.
This document discusses factors that influence the growth and development of microorganisms in food, including intrinsic, extrinsic, and implicit factors. Implicit factors relate to the microorganisms themselves, such as initial number, growth phases/reproduction rate, and interactions. A higher initial number of microorganisms and species adapted to the substrate and environment conditions allows for faster adaptation. Faster reproduction rates, represented by shorter generation times, also allow for more rapid growth under favorable conditions. Unfavorable substrate conditions prolong the generation time for all microorganisms.
