Fate of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in apple cider with and without preservatives
Article Abstract:
The fate of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in six different groups of unpasteurized apple cider was examined by using a strain of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7. Results indicated that Escherichia coli O157:H7 numbers increased slightly and then remained steady for roughly 12 days in groups inoculated with an initial population of 10.5 Escherichia coli O157:H7 organisms per ml at 8 degrees centigrade. Depending on the group, their survival varied from 10 to 31 days or 2 to 3 days at 8 or 25 degrees centigrade, respectively.

Death of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in real mayonnaise and reduced-calorie mayonnaise dressing as influenced by initial population and storage temperature
Article Abstract:
The pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7 is unable to survive in real and reduced-calorie mayonnaise dressing irrespective of the initial population size and storage temperature. The rate of bacterial inactivation rises as the temperature increases from 5 to 30 degrees celsius. At all storage temperatures the tolerance of E. coli O157:H7 is higher in real mayonnaise than in reduced-calorie mayonnaise dressing. Thus the bacteria are killed during the manufacturing and storage of mayonnaise.
