Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  1. Efficient Binding of Heavy Metals by Black SesamePigment: Toward Innovative Dietary Strategies To Prevent Bioaccumulation

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Black sesame pigment (BSP) was shown to bind lead, cadmium, and mercury at pH 7.0 and to a lower extent at pH 2.0. BSP at 0.05 mg/mL removed the metals at 15 μM to a significant extent (>65% for cadmium and >90% for mercury and lead), with no changes following simulated digestion. The maximum binding capacities at pH 7.0 were 626.0 mg/g (lead), 42.2 mg/g (cadmium), and 69.3 mg/g (mercury).

  2. Contribution of Sample Processing to Variability andAccuracy of the Results of Pesticide Residue Analysis in Plant Commodities

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Significant reduction of concentration of some pesticide residues and substantial increase of the uncertainty of the results derived from the homogenization of sample materials have been reported in scientific papers long ago. Nevertheless, performance of methods is frequently evaluated on the basis of only recovery tests, which exclude sample processing.

  4. The pattern of Campylobacter contamination on broiler farms; external and internal sources

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aim

      The aim of this study was to apply the most sensitive molecular techniques in combination with culture based methods to characterise broiler farms in terms of the timeline (‘appearance’ and ‘pattern’) of Campylobacter contamination prior and post detection in the birds.

  5. Prevalence, characteristics, and ecology of Vibrio vulnificus found in New Zealand shellfish

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Summary

      Aims

      In New Zealand, there have been no known cases of foodborne linked to Vibrio vulnificus and shellfish consumption, but two cases of wound infection have been reported. We evaluated the distribution, the effect of environmental parameters, the pheno-genotypic profile, and the growth characteristics of strains isolated from shellfish.

    • Toxins

    • Aspergillus flavus produces a variety of toxic secondary metabolites; among them, the aflatoxins (AFs) are the most well known. These compounds are highly mutagenic and carcinogenic, particularly AFB1. A. flavus is capable of colonizing a number of economically-important crops, such as corn, cotton, peanut and tree nuts, and contaminating them with AFs. Molecular genetic studies in A.

  10. Cross-talk of flesh-eating Aeromonas hydrophila [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) caused by flesh-eating bacteria is associated with high case fatality. In an earlier study, we reported infection of an immunocompetent individual with multiple strains of Aeromonas hydrophila (NF1–NF4), the latter three constituted a clonal group whereas NF1 was phylogenetically distinct. To understand the complex interactions of these...
