Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) in combination with peracetic acid (PAA) could represent an effective decontamination technique to control microorganisms in shredded cheese. Preservation of shredded Mozzarella-type cheese (SMC) was assessed at 25 degrees C over 21 d, using SCCO2 (9.9 MPa, 35 degrees C, 30 min) individually and combined with PAA at concentrations of 50 (SCCO2/PAA50), and 100 (SCCO2/PAA100) ppm with optional 30-min pre-conditioning time (SCCO2/PAA100PC). Process efficacy was assessed based on achievable inactivation and treatment synergism reflected in counts of inoculated Escherichia coli, Listeria innocua, Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores and indigenous micro-flora such as total bacteria (TBC) and total yeasts and molds (TYMC). Complete inactivation of E. coli cells (>= 7.0 log(10)) in SMC was achieved with any of the combined treatments, whereas initial reduction of L innocua was lower when SCCO2/PAA50 and SCCO2/PAA100 combinations were applied (2.9 and 4.6 log(10), respectively). G. stearothermophilus spores exhibited the highest resistance, allowing for a reduction of up to 3.8 log(10) (SCCO2/PAA100) and indicating no advantage of pre-conditioning. However, PAA concentration significantly affected microbial inactivation, comparing SCCO2/PAA100 to SCCO2/PAA50 in TBC (minimum of 6.6 vs. 4.2 log(10), respectively) (P < 0.05) and TYMC (minimum of 7.7 vs. 1.1 log(10), respectively) (P < 0.05). The TBC and TYMC were not significantly decreased by stand-alone decontamination techniques (P >= 0.05); however, synergistic treatment effects (P < 0.05) occurred for all microorganisms except for E. coli. Overall, the findings demonstrate great potential for a SCCO2/PAA hurdle technology as an alternative to post-processing decontamination strategies for production of shelf-stable SMC at ambient temperatures.
