However, the potential presence of pathogenic microorganisms in these products is a health risk for consumers, as they are eaten raw. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate in vivo the efficiency of a chitosan edible coating added with trans-cinnamaldehyde applied to fresh-cut melon (Cucumis melo L.), against fresh-cut melon’s own microflora and against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922TM) and Listeria innocua (ATCC 33090). Firstly, in order to obtain the effective antimicrobial concentration, the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were obtained in vitro. Subsequently, the melons were minimally processed and divided into three parts, the first part without inoculation, the second part inoculated with E. coli and the third part inoculated with L. inocua; immediately, the fresh-cut melon was immersed in two types of edible coating: a medium molecular weight chitosan edible coating (2%) and a chitosan edible coating added with trans-cinnamaldehyde (0.05%). Fresh-cut melon inoculated with water, inoculated with E. coli and inoculated with L. inocua, was used as controls. The determination of mesophilic bacteria, psychrophilic, coliform, yeasts and moulds was realized in non inoculated fresh-cut melon. In the other hand, the counting of E. coli and L. innocua was realized in inoculated fresh-cut melon; these microbiological analysis were done, in times: 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days of storage at 4 °C. Both edible coatings showed antimicrobial action against E. coli and L. innocua, mesophilic, psychrophilic, coliform bacterias, yeasts and moulds, no statistically significant difference was found between them (P>0,001). The chitosan edible coating added with trans-cinnamaldehyde (0.05%) do not show improved efficiency in its antimicrobial action, regarding the microorganisms used in this research. / O consumo de frutas minimamente processadas tem crescido consideravelmente nos últimos anos devido suas vantagens nutricionais e por estarem prontos para o consumo. Porém, a presença de microrganismos patogênicos nestes produtos é um risco para a saúde dos consumidores, pois são consumidos crus. O foco principal desta pesquisa foi avaliar in vivo a eficiência de uma cobertura de quitosana adicionada de trans-cinamaldeído em melão (Cucumis melo L.) minimamente processado, sobre a microbiota própria do melão e do melão inoculado com Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922TM) e Listeria innocua (ATCC 33090). Inicialmente determinou-se a concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) e bactericida (CBM) do trans-cinamaldeído a nível in vitro para obter-se a concentração efetiva como antimicrobiano. Posteriormente, os melões foram minimamente processados e divididos em três partes, sendo uma sem inoculação, outra inoculada com E. coli e outra com L. innocua, sendo em seguida imersos em dois tipos de cobertura: cobertura de quitosana de médio peso molecular (2%) e em cobertura de quitosana de médio peso molecular (2%) com 0,05% de trans-cinamaldeído. Como controles foram utilizados o melão inoculado com água; inoculado com E. coli e inoculado com L. innocua. Foram realizadas determinação de bactérias mesófilas, psicrófilas, coliformes, bolores e leveduras nos melões não inoculados e contagem de E. coli e L. innocua nos melões inoculados, nos tempos: 0, 3, 7, 14 e 21 dias de armazenamento a 4 ºC. Ambas coberturas apresentaram atividade antimicrobiana sobre E. coli, L. innocua, bactérias mesófilas, psicrófilas, coliformes, bolores e leveduras, não ocorrendo entre elas uma diferença estatística significativa (P>0,001). A cobertura com trans-cinamaldeído não apresentou maior eficiência na ação antimicrobiana com relação aos microrganismos pesquisados.

Tesis por compendio / [ES] El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral ha sido proporcionar conocimientos fundamentales y prácticos relacionados con la valorización de la biomasa de setas, para comprender la relación estructura-funcionalidad de extractos acuosos ricos en ß-glucanos, en términos de capacidad inmunorreguladora, antioxidante y antiviral, así como las propiedades tecnológicas (gelificantes y emulsionantes). El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral también ha sido explorar la viabilidad de dicha biomasa en el desarrollo de materiales compostables para el envasado de alimentos. Inicialmente, se aplicó un proceso de extracción secuencial, que implicaba varios tratamientos consecutivos tanto acuosos con y sin temperatura como alcalinos, aplicados a setas de gran consumo (P. ostreatus, L. edodes y G. frondosa), con la finalidad de comprender cómo las diferencias iniciales en la composición y la arquitectura de la pared celular afectaban a la extracción de ß-glucano. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se analizó en profundidad la aplicación potencial de extractos acuosos, ricos en ß-glucanos, del género Pleurotus, explorando cómo la composición de los extractos y la complejidad estructural de ß-glucanos afectaban a su capacidad inmunorreguladora. Los resultados evidenciaron que tanto Pleurotus ostreatus como sus estipes mostraron los mejores resultados, con una actividad inmunoestimulante mucho mayor que las otras especies de Pleurotus exploradas. En la segunda parte de esta tesis, se evaluaron las propiedades funcionales (antivirales y antioxidantes) y tecnológicas (gelificantes y emulsionantes) de los extractos acuosos de ß-glucano, purificados y sin purificar, de Pleurotus ostreatus y sus estipes. El proceso de purificación, como era de esperar, incrementó el porcentaje en carbohidratos (con un mayor aumento en los estipes), lo que se tradujo en una mayor viscosidad y capacidad gelificante. Además, el extracto obtenido de los estipes mostró una fuerte actividad antiviral frente a norovirus murino, probablemente atribuida a la mayor complejidad estructural de sus ß-glucanos. Aunque la presencia de proteínas en los extractos acuosos de ß-glucanos potenció sus propiedades emulsionantes, esta propiedad fue dependiente de la accesibilidad de la proteína para adsorberse en la interfase O/W, lo que también afectó a la viscosidad de las emulsiones resultantes. La quitina y los ß-glucanos son dos de los principales carbohidratos de las setas, y tienen un gran potencial en la formación de materiales de envasado. En la última parte de esta tesis, se investigó la viabilidad de la biomasa de residuos de setas para desarrollar materiales de envasado de alimentos biodegradables y compostables. Los resultados mostraron que la composición de la biomasa de champiñón y las temperaturas de procesado tuvieron un impacto en las propiedades fisicoquímicas de los films desarrollados y, todas fueron biodesintegrables en condiciones de compostaje según la norma ISO 20200. Por lo tanto, esta tesis doctoral representa un importante avance en la valorización de la biomasa de setas (seta entera y estipes) y pone de relieve su idoneidad para desarrollar nuevos ingredientes funcionales y materiales de envasado para aplicaciones alimentarias y de envasado de alimentos. / [CA] L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi ha sigut proporcionar els coneixements fonamentals i pràctics relacionats amb la valorització de la biomassa de bolets, per a comprendre la relació estructura-funcionalitat d'extractes aquosos rics en ß-glucans, en termes de capacitat immunoreguladora, antioxidant i antiviral, així com de les propietats tecnològiques (gelificants i emulsionants). L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi ha estat també l'exploració de la viabilitat d'aquesta biomassa pel desenvolupament de materials compostables per a l'envasat d'aliments. Inicialment, es va aplicar un procés d'extracció seqüencial, que implicava diversos tractaments consecutius, tant aquosos amb temperatura i sense, com alcalins, aplicats a bolets de gran consum (P. ostreatus, L. edodes i G. frondosa), per tal de comprendre com les diferències inicials en la composició i l'arquitectura de la paret cel·lular afectaven l'extracció de ß-glucà. A partir dels resultats obtinguts, es va analitzar en profunditat la potencial aplicació d'extractes aquosos, rics en ß-glucans, del gènere Pleurotus, explorant així com la composició dels extractes i la complexitat structural dels ß-glucans afectaven a la seua capacitat immunoreguladora. Els resultats van evidenciar que tant Pleurotus ostreatus com les seues estipes mostraren els millors resultats, amb una activitat immunoestimulant molt més gran que la obtinguda per a les altres espècies de Pleurotus explorades. A la segona part d'aquesta tesi, es van avaluar les propietats funcionals (antivirals i antioxidants) i tecnològiques (gelificants i emulsionants) dels extractes aquosos de ß-glucà, purificats i sense purificar, de Pleurotus ostreatus i les seues estipes. El procés de purificació, com calia esperar, va incrementar el percentatge en carbohidrats (amb un major augment en els estipes), cosa que es va traduir en una major viscositat i capacitat gelificant. A més, l'extracte obtingut dels estipes va mostrar una forta activitat antiviral contra norovirus murí, probablement atribuïda a la complexitat estructural més gran dels seus ß-glucans. Tot i que la presència de proteïnes en els extractes aquosos de ß-glucans va potenciar les seues propietats emulsionants, aquesta propietat va ser dependent de l'accessibilitat de la proteïna per adsorbir-se a la interfase O/W, cosa que també va afectar la viscositat de les emulsions resultants. La quitina i els ß-glucans són dos dels principals carbohidrats dels bolets, i tenen un gran potencial en la formació de materials d'envasament. Així, a la darrera part d'aquesta tesi, es va investigar la viabilitat de la biomassa de residus de bolets per desenvolupar materials biodegradables i compostables d'envasat d'aliments. Els resultats van mostrar que la composició de la biomassa de bolets i les temperatures de processament van tenir un impacte en les propietats fisicoquímiques de les pel·lícules desenvolupades i, totes elles van ser biodesintegrables en condicions de compostatge segons la norma ISO 20200. Per tant, aquesta tesi doctoral representa un important pas endavant en la valorització de la biomassa de bolets (sencers i estipes) i posa en relleu la seua idoneïtat per desenvolupar nous ingredients funcionals i materials d'envasament per a aplicacions alimentàries i d'envasat d'aliments. / [EN] This doctoral thesis was aimed at providing fundamental and practical knowledge related to the valorisation of underexploited mushroom biomass, in order to understand the structure-function relationship of ß-glucan aqueous extracts in terms of immunoregulatory, antioxidant and antiviral capacity as well as technological (gelling and emulsifying) properties. It was also the aim of this PhD thesis to explore the feasibility of mushroom biomass to develop compostable food packaging materials. Initially, a sequential fractionation process, involving several consecutive cold or hot aqueous and alkaline treatments, was applied to widely consumed mushrooms (P. ostreatus, L. edodes and G. frondosa), in order to understand how the initial differences in composition and cell wall architecture affected ß-glucan extraction. Based on the results, the potential application of ¿-glucan aqueous extracts from Pleurotus genus was deeply analysed, thus exploring how the composition of the extracts and structural complexity of ¿-glucans affected their immunoregulatory capacity. The results evidenced that both Pleurotus ostreatus and its stipes showed the best results, with a much higher immunostimulant activity than the other explored Pleurotus species. In the second part of the thesis, functional (antiviral and antioxidant) and technological (gelling and emulsifying) properties of purified and unpurified¿¿-glucan aqueous extracts from Pleurotus ostreatus and its stipes were evaluated. The purification process, as expected, increased the carbohydrates content (greater in those obtained from the stipes), which resulted in a greater viscosity and gelling capacity. Furthermore, the extract obtained from the stipes showed a strong antiviral activity against murine norovirus, probably ascribed to the higher structural complexity of ß-glucans. Although the presence of proteins in the ¿-glucan aqueous extracts enhanced their emulsifying properties, it depended on the accessibility of the protein to adsorb at the O/W interphase, which also affected the viscosity of the resulting emulsions. Chitin and ß-glucans are two of the major carbohydrates of mushrooms, having a great potential in the formation of packaging materials. Thus, in the last part of this thesis, the feasibility of mushroom waste biomass to develop biodegradable and compostable food packaging materials was investigated. The results showed that the composition of mushroom biomass and the processing temperatures had an impact on the physicochemical properties of the developed films and, all of them were biodisintegrated under composting conditions according to ISO 20200. Therefore, this PhD thesis represents a significant step forward in the understanding of the discarded mushroom biomass (whole biomass and stipes) for valorisation purposes and highlights its suitability to develop new cost-efficient functional ingredients and packaging materials for food and food packaging applications. / This work was performed with the financial support of the CIEN project BIOPRO from “Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial” (CDTI), Ministry of Science and Innovation, Government of Spain.
