Growth ofSalmonellaspp. andEscherichia coliO157:H7 on Fresh-Cut Fruits Stored at Different Temperatures

Abstract: The objective of this work was to determine the growth potential of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli O157:H7 on fresh-cut honeydew melon, cantaloupe, watermelon, pitaya, mango, papaya, and pineapple stored at 5°C, 13°C, and 25°C. The results showed that both pathogens were able to grow on fresh-cut fruits except fresh-cut pineapple at 13°C and 25°C. Salmonella spp. grew more rapidly on fresh-cut honeydew melon, cantaloupe, watermelon, and mango than did E. coli O157:H7 at 13°C. The growth of both species w… Show more

“…The maximum E. coli O157:H7 growth on the cantaloupe was reached on the fourth day of storage at 20°C in the control group (treated with distilled water), which reached a 4.4 log CFU/g (2.6 × 10 4 CFU/g). These results are similar to those obtained by Feng et al (2017), who reported a maximum increase of 3 log CFU E. coli O157:H7/g of cantaloupe cubes after 3 days at 25°C. Variations on the bacterial populations in plants have been attributed to a wide range of characteristics, including pH, the content of bacterial inhibitory compounds, as well as to their surface hydrophobic nature (Gullian & Sánchez, 2018).…”

“…Salmonella spp. populations on fresh-cut pineapple declined slightly but increased 0.5–1 log CFU/g on fresh-cut honeydew melons, cantaloupes, watermelons, pitayas, mangos and papaya after 6 days (Feng et al, 2017 ). These studies demonstrated that the soluble solid content and humidity on cut surfaces could provide adequate nutrition to enhance the bacterial survival or growth.…”

“…Similarly, Salmonella spp . on fresh-cut honeydew melons, cantaloupes, watermelons, pitayas, mangos and papaya stored at 25°C could reach 8.0 log CFU/g after 3 days (Feng et al, 2017 ). We found that S .…”

“…Acid pH of pineapple allows the growth of lactic and acetic bacteria, moulds and yeasts, whereas the high acidity is expected to hinder the proliferation of foodborne pathogen bacteria. However, there are several works reporting the survival of these pathogens in different varieties of fresh-cut pineapple (Abadias, Alegre, Oliveira, Altisent, & Viñas, 2012;Feng et al, 2017). Moreover, pineapples have been associated with outbreaks of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp.…”
