However, unfortunately, these products could be an appropriate vehicle for the transmission of foodborne pathogens. In this study, the antagonistic capacity of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG against a cocktail of 5 serovars of Salmonella and 5 serovars of Listeria monocytogenes on fresh-cut pear at conditions simulating commercial application was assessed. Moreover, its effect on fruit quality, particularly on the volatile profile, was determined, during 9 days of storage at 5 C. L. monocytogenes population was reduced by approximately 1.8 log-units when co-inoculated with L. rhamnosus GG. However, no effect was observed in Salmonella. Fruit quality (soluble solids content and titratable acidity) did not change when the probiotic was present. A total of 48 volatile compounds were identified using gas chromatography. Twelve of the compounds allowed to discriminate L. rhamnosus GG-treated and untreated pears. Considering their odour descriptors, their increases could be positive in the flavour perception of L. rhamnosus GG-treated pear. The probiotic was able to control L. monocytogenes population on fresh-cut pear, which could be a vehicle of probiotic microorganisms as quality of fruit was not affected when the probiotic was present Iglesias, M.B., G.
