Potential Use of DNA Aptamer-Magnetic Bead Separation-PCR Assay for Salmonella Detection in Food
A.n. Zifruddin, K.l. Thong,
Volume 5, Issue 3 (September 2018)
Abstract
Background: Salmonella is one of the most common food-borne pathogens that can cause illness. In this study, the sensitivity and the specificity of Aptamer-Magnetic bead Separation-Polymerase Chain Reaction (AMS-PCR) method were determined for Salmonella spp. detection.
Methods: Different concentrations of Salmonella enterica were mixed with streptavidin-magnetic beads coated with biotinylated DNA aptamer. The bound bacteria were eluted and tested with PCR targeting the invA gene of Salmonella. Ten different serovars of Salmonella enterica and four non-Salmonella were tested to determine the specificity of the DNA aptamer. For field application, 14 different food samples were tested and compared with the culture method.
Results: The limit of detection of AMS-PCR method was 102 CFU/ml which was 10 times more sensitive than conventional PCR without AMS (103 CFU/ml). The AMS-PCR assay showed high specificity as it detected ten different serovars of Salmonella enterica with no cross-reactivity with other food-borne pathogens. AMS-PCR reduced the analytical duration from 6 to 7 h instead of 4 days by the culture method.
Conclusion: In comparison with the culture method, AMS helped to improve the upstream sample preparation in reducing the pre-enrichment and enrichment times. So, it seems that combining AMS with PCR is cost-effective and time-saving. In addition, it is highly specific for monitoring of Salmonella spp. in food chain.

Volume 8, Issue 1 (March 2021)
Abstract
Background: Sodium caseinate is a rich source of protein and minerals originating from animals. Numerous food and non-food products are made from sodium caseinate. The present study investigated the chemical components (moisture, crude protein, ash, and soluble crude protein) of sodium caseinate prepared by different acids and drying techniques.
Methods: A completely randomized factorial design was used by different acids including hydrochloric acid (HCl) and acetic acid, and also drying methods including oven (50 °C for 48 h) and freeze drying (-40 °C for 48 h). In each experimental group, sodium caseinate was obtained for determination of moisture, crude protein, ash, and soluble crude protein. Data were statistically evaluated using an ANOVA in SPSS 18.0.
Results: The interaction of both acids and drying methods significantly (p<0.01) affected moisture, crud protein, and ash content. HCl treatment coupled with freeze drying was the best combination, resulting in an appreciably higher content of crude protein (52.90%), moisture (5.38%), and soluble protein (0.85%).
Conclusion: The kinds of acid and drying method altered the chemically profile of sodium caseinate. The combination of HCl and freeze drying could be the considered as the best approach, resulting in good chemical characteristics of sodium caseinate.

Volume 9, Issue 3 (September 2022)
Abstract
Background: Honey has a lot of reputation because of its supposed medicinal properties. In this study, Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), sugars, and Fructose/Glucose ratio of honey in Bangladesh were assessed for adulteration and authenticity evaluation.
Methods: Seventy honey samples collected from different districts of Bangladesh were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for HMF content and sugar profile. The samples were prepared by using Carrez I and Carrez II prior to injecting into HPLC. The samples were then filtered through syringe filter and taken in 1.5 ml vial for injecting into the HPLC system.
Results: HMF values were ranging from 1.41 mg/kg to 2,063.90 mg/kg. The Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) was found 0.10 mg/kg and 0.33 mg/kg with R2=0.9994. The average values of fructose, glucose, and sucrose were in the range of 14.75-52.44%, 8.19-42.63%, and 0.10-21.12%, respectively. From validation parameters, LOD values for fructose, glucose, and sucrose were 0.003, 0.008, and 0.004%, respectively; and LOQ values were 0.01, 0.028, and 0.015%, respectively with an excellent linearity with R2 for fructose=1.0, glucose=0.9999, and sucrose=1.0.
Conclusion: Some samples had higher HMF content which may be due to the storage time was increased and improper processing with high temperature or adulteration by High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), sugar cane syrup, rice syrups or rice molasses. The sugar profiles showed that the most of honey samples were nectar honeys.

Volume 9, Issue 4 (December 2022)
Abstract
Background: Edible film is a food packaging that can be eaten directly and have protection function of outside contamination. The purpose of this research is to know how about the effect of using a glycerol plasticizer to film whey-konjac edible films that enriched with clove essential oil.
Methods: A completely randomized design was used by different clove essential oil including P10, 0% clove essential oil; P10C1, 5% clove essential oil; P10C2, 10% clove essential oil; and P10C3, 15% clove essential oil. The present study investigated the physical characteristics, including tensile strength, elongation, Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR), and microstructur film. Data were statistically evaluated using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS) 16.0.
Results: Results showed that the addition of glycerol plasticizer enriched with clove essential oil had no significant difference (p>0.05) to value of tensile strength, elongation, and WVTR of whey- konjac edible film. The value of tensile strength with the addition of clove essential oil at doses of 0, 5, 10, and 15% were 9.16, 7.9, 7.1, and 6.52 N, respectively. The concentration of 5% clove essential oil resulted in the best physical properties of film with a tensile strength 7.90 N, elongation 64.0%, and WVTR 8.12 g/mm2/day.
Conclusion: Use of clove essential oil with different concentrations had no effect on tensile strength, elongation, and WVTR; but the addition of clove essential oil had promising potential to improve the physical characteristic of whey-konjac edible films.
