Novel Perspectives on the Quorum Sensing Inhibitors (QSIs)/Quorum Quenchers (QQs) in Food Preservation and Spoilage

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Implication of Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation in Medicine, Agriculture and Food Industry

Abstract

Quorum sensing (QS) regulates major bacterial behaviors such as virulence, antibiotic resistance biofilm formation, and bioluminescence when the population reaches high density. The role of QS in biofilm formation and virulence is an extreme problem for food safety, biofilm-related infectious diseases, etc. Food spoilage is a consequence of degrading enzymatic activities, viz., proteolytic, lipolytic, chitinolytic, and pectinolytic, of some food-associated bacteria. Several activities associated with the deterioration of goods are regulated by QS, suggesting a potential role of such cell-to-cell communication in food spoilage. Therefore, interrupting QS mechanism might be an alternative strategy to develop novel QS-based antibacterial/anti-biofilm drugs. QS-based antibacterial/anti-biofilm agents can be used to manage foodborne pathogens and biofilm formation in food industries. Efforts to disrupt biofilms have enabled the identification of bioactive molecules produced by prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Production and bioactivity of mushroom polysaccharide was enhanced by using microbial QS molecules. Plant food extracts and phytochemicals were found to have anti-QS properties. Organic acids can act as effective potential sanitizers in reducing microbial load associated with fresh fruits and vegetables. Moreover, organic acids are known to be used as food preservatives due to their antimicrobial potential. Most approaches to use QQ as an anti-virulence strategy are still in initial phase; the increasing number of organisms and enzymes known to interfere with QS opens new perspectives for the development of innovative antibacterial strategies to prevent food spoilage.
