ABSTRACT

The microbial spoilage of soybeans during soaking process severely deteriorates the quality of soybean products and threatens human health. Herein, water-soluble aminated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were developed to effectively control the microbial spoilage in soybeans during soaking. ZnO NPs achieved significant inactivation of three dominant spoilage bacteria (bacillus cereus, bacillus megaterium and enterococcus faecium) isolated from the deteriorated soybeans, which could adhere to the bacterial surface and damage the cell wall/membrane, but also generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Compared to two commercial ZnO, water-soluble ZnO exhibited superior antibacterial properties due to producing more ROS and bacteria-adhered ability. After ZnO NPs treatment, the content of the residual Zn (51.1 mg/kg) in soybeans was the safety standards of Zn element in soybeans products for human). Therefore, the water-soluble ZnO NPs showed great potentials as efficient and safe antimicrobial agents for soybeans preservation during soaking process.
