RESUMO
Species of the Vibrio genus are commonly reported as agents of food poisoning outbreaks associated with fish consumption. The objective of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of Origanum vulgare and Ocimum basilicum against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, as well as to assess their addition to fillets of Mugil platanus and sensorial acceptance among consumers. The antimicrobial activity was analyzed by the disc diffusion test and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). M. platanus fillets, experimentally contaminated, were marinated for 24 hours in a solution containing 1.0% and 1.5% of essential oil of O. vulgare. For the sensory analysis, samples marinated in 1.5% of O. vulgare oil were prepared and offered to 100 testers. The oil of O. basilicum shows no antimicrobial activity, so its application would be ineffective; for such reason the subsequent tests were not performed. However, the essential oil of O. vulgare produced inhibition halo diameters ranging from 24.6 to 34.1 mm, on average, and the MBC ranging from 3.9% to 15.6%. When added to the product, the essential oil of O. vulgare eliminated the microorganisms that were experimentally inoculated. In the sensorial analysis, samples marinated in 1.5% of O. vulgare essential oil obtained an average of 6.82 of acceptance note among consumers.
Espécies do gênero Vibrio são comumente reportadas como agentes causadores de surtos alimentares associados ao consumo de pescados. O objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar a atividade antimicrobiana dos óleos essenciais de Origanum vulgare e Ocimum basilicum frente a Vibrio parahaemolyticus e Vibrio vulnificus, assim como verificar sua aplicabilidade em filés de Mugil platanus e aceitação sensorial. O efeito antimicrobiano foi analisado pelo teste de disco-difusão e concentração bactericida mínima (CBM). Filés de M. platanus, experimentalmente contaminados, foram marinados por 24 horas em solução com 1,0% e 1,5% de óleo essencial de O. vulgare. Para análise sensorial foram preparadas amostras marinadas em solução de 1,5% de óleo de O. vulgaree oferecidas a 100 avaliadores. O óleo de O. basilicum não apresentou atividade antimicrobiana; logo, a aplicação seria ineficaz e, por esse motivo não foram realizados os testes seguintes. Em contraste, o óleo essencial de O. vulgare apresentou halos em que as médias variaram entre 24,6 e 34,1 mm e a CBM ficou entre 3,9 e 15,6 μL mL-1. Quando aplicado no produto, o óleo essencial de O. vulgare eliminou os microrganismos que foram inoculados experimentalmente. Na análise sensorial, amostras marinadas em 1.5% de óleo essencial de O. vulgare obtiveram nota média de 6,82 de aceitação entre os consumidores. Sendo considerado alternativa no controle de microrganismos.

The effects of the type of solvolytic solution and number of extraction steps on the recovery of free phenolics, anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins from different rice samples were evaluated. Moreover, bound phenolic acids were determined as a function of enzymatic and/or alkaline hydrolysis treatment of the rice residue obtained after the extraction of free phenolics. The Acetone/Water (70:30 v/v) was the most effective solvolytic solution for extracting free phenolics from pigmented rice, as well as anthocyanins from black and wild rice, and proanthocyanidins from red rice. The application of three extraction steps increased the recovery of free phenolics up to 10%. The adoption of an enzymatic treatment, with α-amylase in order to reduce the paste viscosity of the residue, increased the extractability of bound phenolics. α-Amylase at 37°C during 15min followed by an alkaline hydrolysis at 37°C was the best treatment for the recovery of bound phenolics.
