    Zein and Its Composites and Blends With Natural Active Compounds: Development of Antimicrobial Films for Food Packaging
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    In this chapter the current developments in using biopolymer zein for active edible film-making are discussed with particular emphasis on antimicrobial packaging. Recent studies have showed the possibility of developing effective antimicrobial edible packaging materials through the incorporation of different natural antimicrobial compounds, including antimicrobial enzymes, peptides, and phenolic compounds, into zein films. The zein-based films that contain antimicrobial enzyme lysozyme and bacteriocin nisin have great potential as antilisterial edible packaging materials. Additionally, zein-based films that contain natural phenolic compounds might be suitable for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and/or bioactive packaging. The use of composites of zein with waxes and blends of zein with fatty acids enables researchers to obtain antimicrobial zein-based films with controlled release properties.

    Human Acute Gastroenteritis Associated With Arcobacter Butzleri
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Kayman, Tuba; Atabay, Halil İbrahim; Abay, Seçil; Hızlısoy, Harun; Molva, Çelenk; Aydın, Fuat
    Arcobacter spp. are considered emerging food-borne pathogens ( 1). Contaminated water and meat play an important role in the transmission of these bacteria to humans ( 2 ; 3). Currently, the genus Arcobacter has 13 recognized species: A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus, A. skirrowii, A. nitrofigilis, A. cibarius, A. halophilus, A. mytili, A. thereius, A. marinus, A. trophiarum, A. defluvii, A. molluscorum, and A. ellisii ( 4 ; 5). Only three species, namely, A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus, and A. skirrowii, have been associated with human and animal diseases ( 1). These microorganisms cause a number of infections, such as abortion, mastitis, and septicemia, in animals. In humans, they have been reported to cause gastrointestinal tract infections and septicemia ( 6 ; 7). Arcobacter septicemia secondary to underlying diseases, such as cirrhosis ( 8) and acute gangrenous appendicitis (9), has also been documented in humans.
