1 Institute of Food Research Predicting bacterial growth in reduced salt foods Dr Sandra Stringer Institute of Food Research, Norwich Nofima, Oslo, Norway 3 rd March 2011
2 Effects of salt on foods Texture Taste Colour Economics Control of yeast or starter culture Spoilage (type and shelf life) Microbiological safety
3 The preservative effect of NaCl in foods has been exploited since antiquity Salting is a very ancient method of preservation It can been used to preserve meat, fish, vegetables and dairy products
4 Available water is critical for bacterial growth Water must be available for microorganisms to remain metabolically active Water is freely permeable across a cells cytoplasmic membrane whereas many solutes are not In environments with reduced water availability cells can rapidly lose water. Loss of water means lose the ability to function Cells counteract osmotic stress by accumulating salts, synthesis or uptake of compatible solutes or changing cell membrane composition. These activities require energy. ATP Compatible solutes H 2 0 High NaCl or sugar conc
5 The work required to counteract osmotic stress will effect growth rates Despite these adaptations, the range of water activities in which each organism can grow is limited The microbial stability of foods is therefore related to the water available for utilised by microorganisms
6 Reducing salt Altering NaCl content of a food can alter the water activity (a W ) and thus affect growth of food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria The consequences on microbiological safety must be considered when reducing salt
7 water activity Water activity is the expression of available water used by food microbiologists a w = ρ/ρ 0 Inhibitory a w depend on the solute Microorganisms active in relatively narrow range so quoted to 3 significant figures
8 Typical a w of foods aw range Foods Free water Fresh meat, milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables Ham, bacon, hard cheese, bakery goods Fruit juice concentrate, maple syrup Sweetened condensed milk, parmesan, fruit cake Salted fish, prunes, jams and conserves Dried fruit, honey, confectionary, rolled oats <0.60 Dry pasta, biscuits, flour, dried vegetables, powdered milk, instant coffee Source: Christian,J.H.B.The Microbiological safety and quality of food Vol.

10 How much of a food safety issue does reducing salt concentrations present?
11 It depends on the food! Reformulation can change the intrinsic properties of a food Changing the intrinsic properties will effect the foods ability to support the growth of food-borne pathogens The importance of such changes will depend on the food
12 In some foods reformulation is not a microbiological safety issue For example: Frozen foods Foods heated to the equivalent of 121 C for 2.5 min or more Acid foods (ph<3.8) Low a w foods (a w <0.86 ) where a w is not related to salt Foods with added salt treated the same as an unsalted equivalent
13 In other foods reformulation can have fatal consequences
14 Outbreak of botulism associated with hazelnut yoghurt, UK 1989 Cases: 27 people affected, 1 died Food involved: Detection: Commercially produced hazelnut yoghurt. Canned hazelnut puree added to yoghurt base Type B toxin and C. botulinum type B isolated from patients, from yoghurt and from hazelnut conserve 76 cans of puree had been sweetened using aspartame rather than sugar
15 Causes Conserve made from Roasted hazelnuts, water, starch and sugar. ph Processed using non-lethal heat treatment of cooking at 90 C for 10min followed by canning and heating at 100 C for 20min. Storage at ambient. Sugar content of original formulation had contributed to product safety Sugar substituted for aspartame changed product safety There had been reports of cans blowing and manufacturer later started adding sorbate in an attempt to control yeasts

17 What can you do to predict and prevent microbiological problems?
18 Understand your product What are the organisms of concern? What factors prevent food poisoning from the product? Is any reformulation directly related to a HACCP control point? Calculate magnitude of effect of reformulation
19 Predictive microbiology Predictive microbiology is based on the theory that growth is an intrinsic characteristic of the organism and will occur reproducibly in identical environmental conditions. It uses mathematics to describe micro-organism s response to their environment. First variations in population size against time are described by a mathematical function (primary model) Changes in primary model with conditions can be described by secondary models (T, ph, Aw, others)

21 Validation of C. botulinum time to doubling from Growth Predictor against literature data 100 predicted time doubling (d) observed time to toxin (d) media meat fish poultry milk other
22 Predictive modeling may be used to help asses the implications of reformulation Predictive microbiology can be used to help determine the effect of changing growth conditions. It can particularly be helpful when changing NaCl concentrations as water activity (a w ) is one of the principle environmental parameters in predictive microbiology (temp, a w, ph).

27 ComBase Predictor (allows predictions from ComBase data) ComBase predictor is a set of models for predicting the growth survival or death of bacteria as a function of environmental factors, including temperature, ph and water activity. Some models also include an additional, fourth factor, such as the concentration of carbon dioxide or acetic acid. ComBase predictor is available for free at:

59 Summary Microorganisms require available water Manipulating available water can alter probability of growth, growth rate, lag, mass, death or survival of microorganisms The inhibitory effects of salt vary with the microorganism of concern, the environmental conditions, the presence of other preservative factors, processing and storage conditions aw often combined with other inhibitory factors to optimise product quality and safety Predictive modelling can be used to help identify safe combinations of inhibitory factors.
60 Conclusions There is scope to reduce salt in foods. However, as salt concentrations influence bacterial growth, its reduction may have consequences for food safety that must be considered in addition to organoleptic and textural considerations Any change in formulation, processing or storage conditions means product safety and shelf-life must be re-evaluated and action must be taken if new hazards are identified It may be necessary to change multiple factors factors or reduce shelf-life to maintain product safety Modelling may be a useful tool in this process
