MLF was more similar between musts fermented with L. thermotolerans, regardless of nutrient regime, whereas significant differences in MLF completion times were observed for different nitrogen treatments in S. cerevisiae fermentations. Collectively, the data present an integrated view of the impact of nitrogen treatment on multispecies co-inoculation (growth kinetics and aromatic outcomes) and the downstream impact on MLF.Detection and isolation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) from manufacturing beef is challenging and it may be affected by microbial changes during enrichment. This study was designed to understand population changes during enrichment of beef from an integrated (Samples A and B) and a fragmented (Samples C and D) abattoir. The samples were enriched in buffered peptone water (BPW), Assurance GDS MPX top 7 STEC mEHEC®, BAX® E. coli O157H7 MP and PDX-STEC media then were processed for 16 S rRNA sequencing. Escherichia dominated Sample B enrichment broths regardless of the media used (71.6-97.9%) but only in mEHEC broth (79.6%) of Sample A. Escherichia was dominant in Sample C in mEHEC (95.2%) and PDX-STEC (99.2%) broths but less in BPW (58.5%) and MP (64.9%) broths. In Sample D, Clostridium dominated in mEHEC (65.5%), MP (80.2%) and PDX-STEC (90.6%) broths. O157 STEC was isolated from Sample C only. The study suggested that MP may not be as effective as mEHEC and PDX-STEC and that Clostridium could interfere with enrichment of Escherichia. Understanding the ecological changes during enrichment provides meaningful insight to optimising the enrichment protocol for STEC and subsequently enhance the efficiency of STEC detection.The enhanced heat resistance of Salmonella developed at low water activity makes it a serious challenge to eliminate them during thermal processing. The objectives of this research are to (i) investigate the effect of water activity on thermal inactivation
