Modification of azo dyes by lactic acid bacteria
JOURNAL OF APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY, 107(2), 584–589.
author keywords: azo dyes; food dyes; lactic acid bacteria; tartrazine anabolism; textile waste waters
MeSH headings : Aerobiosis; Anaerobiosis; Azo Compounds / chemistry; Azo Compounds / metabolism; Biodegradation, Environmental; Food Coloring Agents / metabolism; Lactobacillaceae / growth & development; Lactobacillaceae / metabolism; Lactobacillus / growth & development; Lactobacillus / metabolism; Lactococcus / growth & development; Lactococcus / metabolism; Leuconostoc / growth & development; Leuconostoc / metabolism; Molecular Weight; Pediococcus / growth & development; Pediococcus / metabolism; Tartrazine / metabolism
TL;DR:
The ability of Lactobacillus casei and LactOBacillus paracasei to modify the azo dye, tartrazine, was recently documented as the result of the investigation on red coloured spoilage in acidified cucumbers.

Microbial growth and the effects of mild acidification and preservatives in refrigerated sweet potato puree
JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION, 71(3), 639–642.
MeSH headings : Consumer Product Safety; Food Preservation / methods; Food Preservatives / pharmacology; Humans; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Ipomoea batatas / microbiology; Listeria monocytogenes / drug effects; Listeria monocytogenes / growth & development; Refrigeration; Sodium Benzoate / pharmacology; Sorbic Acid / pharmacology; Temperature; Time Factors
TL;DR:
Because the refrigerated sweet potato puree was made by comminuting steam-cooked sweet potatoes before refrigeration, no naturally occurring vegetative bacterial cells were detected during a 4-week period of refrigerated storage at 4 degrees C, however, if postprocessing microbial contamination of the puree were to occur, contaminating microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes could grow during refrigeration.

Microbiological preservation of cucumbers for bulk storage using acetic acid and food preservatives
JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, 73(6), M287–M291.
author keywords: acidification; ethanol; organic acids; stabilization; vegetables
MeSH headings : Acetic Acid / pharmacology; Calcium Compounds / pharmacology; Chlorates / pharmacology; Colony Count, Microbial; Cucumis sativus / microbiology; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Food Microbiology; Food Preservation / methods; Food Preservatives / pharmacology; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Sodium Benzoate / pharmacology; Time Factors
TL;DR:
C cucumbers were preserved without a thermal process by storage in solutions containing acetic acid, sodium benzoate, and calcium chloride to maintain tissue firmness and yeast growth was observed when sulfite was used as a preservative.

Lactobacilli and tartrazine as causative a agents of red-color spoilage in cucumber pickle products
JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, 72(7), M240–M245.
author keywords: azo dye; benzoic acid; FD&C yello nr 5; Lactobacillus casei; Lactobacillus paracasei
MeSH headings : Cucumis sativus; Food Coloring Agents / adverse effects; Food Coloring Agents / metabolism; Food Contamination / analysis; Food Preservation / methods; Lactobacillus / growth & development; Lactobacillus / metabolism; Oxidation-Reduction; Tartrazine / adverse effects; Tartrazine / metabolism
TL;DR:
Addition of sodium benzoate to the brine cover solutions of a pickled cucumber product, more specifically hamburger dill pickles, prevented growth of these lactic acid bacteria and the development of the red spoilage.
