  10. The Fate of Organophosphorus Pesticides during Camellia Oil Production

    • Journal of Food Science

    • The purpose of this study was to investigate the fate of organophosphorus pesticidesOPs) during camellia oil production process, from camellia fruit to the final oil product. The results showed that the OPs were mainly distributed in the peel of camellia fruit, basically above 40% after the pesticide application of 7 d (P < 0.05). A small amount of OPs could enter into the seed and convert to crude camellia oil, with the concentration of 19.5 to 548.2 mg/L.

  12. Three Peptide Modulators of the Human Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel 1.7, an Important Analgesic Target, from the Venom of an Australian Tarantula

    • Toxins

    • Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are responsible for propagating action potentials in excitable cells. NaV1.7 plays a crucial role in the human pain signalling pathway and it is an important therapeutic target for treatment of chronic pain. Numerous spider venom peptides have been shown to modulate the activity of NaV channels and these peptides represent a rich source of research tools and therapeutic lead molecules.

  13. Effects of Zataria multiflora boiss essential oil, ultraviolet radiation and their combination on Listeria monocytogenes biofilm in a simulated industrial model

    • International Journal of Food Science & Technology

    • The objective of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of Zataria multiflora boiss essential oils (ZEOs), ultraviolet (UV) radiation and their combination against Listeria monocytogenes biofilm in a simulated industrial model (SIM). The effect of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and sub-MIC concentration of ZEOs, different contact time of UV and their combination was evaluated in a SIM on 6- and 12-day-old L. monocytogenes biofilm.

  20. IscR regulates synthesis of CFA/I fimbriae in response to iron starvation in Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Iron availability functions as an environmental cue for enteropathogenic bacteria, signaling arrival within the human host. As Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are a major cause of human diarrhea, the effect of iron on ETEC virulence factors was evaluated here. ETEC pathogenicity is directly linked to production of fimbrial colonization factors and secretion of heat-labile (LT) and/or heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins.

  21. Disaggregated gender cohort associated with related microbial hazards and critical control points in 'foofoo' processing system

    • International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health

    • Gender consideration, a risk factor in food processing system can enhance efficiency of food hazards critical control points (CCPs) and corrective measures for food safety and public health. The study objective was to examine gender related association in 'foofoo' processing and hazards in project cycle. Disaggregated gender cohorts were female adult (FA), male adult (MA), male child (MC), and female child (FC).

  22. Defining a control point for the South African abattoir hygiene management system

    • International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health

    • The hygiene management system (HMS) was regulated for South African red meat and poultry abattoirs in mid-2000. It is a basic food safety management system. The HMS requires identification of control points (CPs) where critical limits must be established and control measures set in place. However, a CP has not been defined in legislation and no guidelines are available on how to identify them.

  23. Occurrence of mycotoxins in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and its products

    • International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health

    • Contamination of foods with mycotoxins represents an important limit to the income of farmers and a major public health concern especially in tropical countries. Cassava represents an important part of the diet of many people in this part of the word and the most important smallholder crop in Africa. Fungal contamination of cassava products can occur at pre-harvest level or after, during processing, according to the conditions (moisture, temperature, competition with other microorganisms).
