considers E. coli O157:H7 and six non-O157 serotypes of STEC, including O26,
O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145 strains, as adulterants in both raw ground and
whole muscle cuts (11).
Virucidal Efficacy
Virucidal efficacy of levulinic acid plus SDS was tested, with such that 5 %
levulinic acid plus 2 % SDS inactivated murine norovirus (MNV-1) surrogate
by 2.5 1og PFU/ml, and stainless steel-inoculated MNV-1 by >1.50 log PFU/ml,
after 1 min of exposure (21). Lower concentrations of 0.5% levulinic acid plus
0.5% SDS induced 2.7-, 1.4-, and 2.4-log PFU/ml reductions for hepatitis A virus
66
(HAV), MNV-1, and MS2 bacteriophage, respectively, after 2 min of exposure
(22). The virucidal efficacy of this combination was not significantly affected by
the presence of organic matters (up to 10%), indicating this combination could be
effective for reducing infectious virus in a clinical matrix, where stool or vomit,
which can protect viruses from inactivation by a sanitizer, often exists (21). High
concentrations of 5% levulinic acid plus 2% SDS was also determined to be
virucidal for influenza A H3N2 virus (23). Thus, this novel disinfectant may
be an alternative sanitizer that can be used as a part of an egg decontamination
strategy and as a tool to mitigate human and avian influenza transmission by eggs.

Bactericidal Efficacy on Food Products
The levulinic acid plus SDS solution is substantially effective against bacterial
foodborne pathogens on the surface of a variety of foods (18). As indicated in
Table 3, the mean count of S. Typhimurium on apples treated with water only for
1, 2, and 5 min was 2.7, 2.7, and 2.7 log CFU/apple, respectively. The mean count
of S. Typhimurium on apples treated with 0.5% levulinic acid plus 0.05% SDS
was <0.7, 1.4, and <0.7 log CFU/apple, with reductions of >2.0, 1.3, and >2.0
log CFU/apple, respectively. Similar trends were obtained with the observation of
aerobic bacterial counts. However, it took 5 minutes to achieve a significant (P <
0.05) reduction of yeast and mold on apples. Following the treatment, the counts
in the treated solution containing 0.5% levulinic acid plus 0.05% SDS were <0.7
log CFU/ml of S. Typhimurium and 1.7 log CFU/ml of yeast and mold (Y&M);
the treated solution containing 50 ppm of chlorine were <0.7 log CFU/ml of S.
Typhimurium and 1.6 log CFU/ml of Y&M; and the treated solution with water
only were 2.7 log CFU/ml of S. Typhimurium and 1.6 log CFU/ml of Y&M. The
counts of S. Typhimurium on apples treated for 1, 2, and 5 min with 50 ppm
of chlorine was 3.3, 3.1, and 2.8 log CFU/apple, respectively, without showing
significant (P > 0.05) reductions.
The mean count of S. Typhimurium on celery treated with water only for
1, 2, and 5 min was 3.7, 3.6, and 3.5 log CFU/celery, respectively; on celery
treated with 0.5% levulinic acid plus 0.05% SDS was 1.1, 1.0, and 1.3 log CFU/
celery, respectively. Thus, reductions of S. Typhimurium for 2.6, 2.6, and 2.2
log CFU/celery, respectively, were achieved on celery after 1, 2, and 5 min of
the treatment of low concentrations of levulinic acid and SDS. Similar results
were obtained for aerobic bacterial count and yeast and mold reductions (Table
4). The S. Typhimurium count in groups treated with 50 ppm of chlorine on
celery for 1, 2, and 5 min was 3.4, 3.1, and 3.0 log CFU/celery, respectively.
Therefore, the reduction of S. Typhimurium for <0.5 log CFU/celery was achieved.
Following treatments, the microbial counts in the treated solution containing 0.5%
levulinic acid plus 0.05% SDS were <0.7 log CFU/ml of S. Typhimurium and 1.3
log CFU/ml of Y&M; the treated solution containing 50 ppm of chlorine was <0.7
log CFU/ml of S. Typhimurium and 2.3 log CFU/ml of Y&M; and the treated
solution containing water only was 3.2 log CFU/ml of S. Typhimurium and 3.5
log CFU/ml of Y&M.
A reduction of 4.2 log CFU/g of Salmonella on lettuce was achieved after
a 1-min treatment of 0.3% levulinic acid and 0.05% SDS (18). Treatment of
alfalfa seeds with 0.05% levulinic acid and 0.05% SDS for 5 min at 21°C reduced
populations of S. Typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 by 6.4 and 5.6 log CFU/g,
respectively (24). Lethality of levulinic acid plus SDS on pecans is also tested.
The population of Salmonella on in-shell nuts was reduced by 3.4 log CFU/g
after treating with 2% levulinic acid plus 0.05% SDS, compared to 2.8 log CFU/g
caused by chlorinated water (1,000 µg/ml) (25).
Reductions of Salmonella on poultry carcasses with feathers (26) and poultry
skin (18) by 5-min immersion at 21°C with higher concentrations of 3% levulinic
acid and 2% SDS were greater than 4 log CFU/9 cm2 and 5 log CFU/g, respectively,
indicating the antibacterial efficacy of this combination could maintain even in the
72
presence of organic matters. S. Enteritidis on chicken wings was reduced by >5
log CFU/g by the treatment with 3% levulinic acid plus 1% SDS at 8°C (18).
When chicks were challenged with S. Heidelberg, drinking water containing 0.5%
levulinic acid and 0.0125% SDS significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the percentage
of crops infected with S. Heidelberg, but did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect the
percentage of S. Heidelberg-positive ceca (27). The same combination of levulinic
acid and SDS reduced planktonic E. coli O157:H7 by >7 log CFU/ml within 30
minutes (20).
Lower concentrations of 1% levulinic acid plus 0.1% SDS had a great effect
on reducing Salmonella (0.70 log CFU/g) on beef patties, but levulinic acid and
SDS-treated beef patties had increased growth of psychrotrophic organisms and
reduced color scores after 3 days of retail display (28). On the contrary, when it
was used as a spray treatment on beef trim, the combination did not change any
meat quality (29).
Using a single hurdle approach, treatment of cantaloupes with high
concentrations of levulinic acid and SDS provided greater reductions of
Salmonella and L. monocytogenes than 200 ppm of chlorine for netted rind and
stem scar tissues (30). Incorporation of double hurdles of chlorine and levulinic
acid/SDS treatments resulted in the elimination of S. Poona from 50% of samples
(31). Another double hurdle approach employing 7.5% levulinic acid plus 0.5%
SDS, followed by either chlorine or levulinic acid/SDS provided additional
reductions of L. monocytogenes at stem scars and rinds compared to the treatment
of the cantaloupe with chlorine only (32). Inoculated stem scars of tomatoes and
blueberries were also tested, with 2.6-, <1.5-log reductions of Salmonella and E.
coli O157:H7, respectively, achieved by low concentrations of levulinic acid and
SDS (33, 34).

The application of levulinic acid and SDS alone has limited antimicrobial
efficacy. However, the combination greatly increases the bactericidal (20, 22,
25, 36–39) and virucidal (21, 22) activities of these two chemicals. When
0.5% levulinic acid and 0.05 to 1% SDS used individually, cell numbers of
Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 were reduced by ≤2 log CFU/ml within 20 min
at 21°C, whereas the combination achieved >7-log CFU/ml inactivation of both
pathogens within 10 seconds (18). Synergism between levulinic acid and SDS
was also found in the case of their antimicrobial efficacy targeting biofilms (36).
Levulinic acid, besides its antimicrobial mechanism of action as described above,
is capable to affect electrostatic charges of SDS molecules and cell surfaces,
chelate metal ions, disrupt substrate transport, reduce proton motive force, and
release lipopolysaccharide from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria
(21, 40–45). All these factors contribute to an increase in cell permeability,
leading to an increase of SDS absorption into cells and damage of the cytoplasmic
membrane (46). SDS can denature proteins, chelate divalent cations, such as
Ca2+ and Mg2+, and damage cell membranes, and its bactericidal and virucidal
effects can be increased when pH is reduced to between 1.5 and 3.0 (40, 47–61).
Therefore, levulinic acid and SDS complement each other enabling penetration
of cells, leading to increased susceptibility (40, 62). When the combination was
applied to inactivate biofilms, SDS, due to its amphiphilic property (63, 64)
and wettability (46, 65), can act as antiadhesive agents enhancing the release of
bacterial cells and viruses tightly bound on the surface into surroundings in the
planktonic state. Levulinic acid may also assist in removal of the attachment
polymer by chelating divalent cations required to link the polymer at the surface
(66, 67). Microscopic images indicate that the cells are detached from biofilm
matrices and the integrity of cell envelopes are decreased after the treatment of
levulinic acid plus SDS (36). Hence, the combination of an organic acid and
surfactant may promote each other to detach bacterial cells from a biofilm matrix.
Once the cells are directly exposed to the chemicals without the protection of
EPS, they can be easily inactivated.
