ABSTRACT
The study aimed to evaluate the synergistic interaction of organic acids (OAAs) or lemon extract (LE) plus mild heat (MH; 55 °C) against Escherichia coli O157H7, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes inoculated in beetroot and watermelon juices. A mixed culture cocktail of E. coli O157H7, S. Typhimurium or L. monocytogenes was inoculated in beetroot or watermelon juice, followed by treatments with MH, citric acid + MH, malic acid + MH, tartaric acid + MH, and LE + MH. Approximately < 2.0-log reductions in the number of E. coli O157H7, S. Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes were observed when these bacteria were heated in juices at 55 °C for 5 min. A combination of 1.0% OAAs or 20% LE and MH (55 °C) for 5 min resulted in an additional log-reduction in the count of E. coli O157H7, S. Typhimurium, and L. monocytogenes by 2.2-5.0, 4.5-5.0, and 1.5-5.0, respectively.
