Eight foodborne pathogenic and spoilage Gram-positive bacteria were
evaluated for their spontaneous resistance frequencies to the peptide
antimicrobial nisin. In brain heart infusion (BHI) medium, nisin resistance
frequencies were in the range of l06 to l08 when exposed to nisin at
concentrations 2 to 4 times the minimal inhibitory concentrations....
Field survivals of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) runner plants
dug from December to April in both 1979 and 1980 were above 9C% when
planted about May 1. When plants from the same digging dates were
planted in early June, survival of March-dug 'Olympus' declined to
88% and survival of late-April-dug...
Alcoholic off-flavor and accompanying volatile compounds produced by bananas (Cavendishii spp) held at 20°C and subjected to aerobic (air control treatment) or anaerobic conditions (nitrogen treatment) were compared by solid phase micro extraction (SPME), a newly developed method for volatile separation. In general, volatile production was suppressed under anaerobic conditions...
