  1. Effect of Natural Extracts (Mentha Spicata L. and Artemisia Campestris) on Biogenic Amine Formation of Sardine Vacuum-Packed and Refrigerated (Sardina Pilchardus) Fillets

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation
    • Ethanolic extracts from mint and artemisia were applied on vacuum-packed sardine fillets in order to investigate their effects on biogenic amine formation during 21 days at 3 1C. Three different groups were tested: control group (without ethanolic extracts), T1 (mint extract – 1% w/v) and T2 (artemisia extract – 1% w/v). Natural extract treatments combined with vacuum packaging resulted in a significant shelf life extension of the sardine fillets of 7 days.

  2. Aflatoxins in cereals: worldwide occurrence and dietary risk assessment

    • World Mycotoxin Journal
    • The worldwide occurrence of aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2), genotoxic mycotoxins, in raw maize, rice, sorghum and wheat samples collected since the year 2000 was evaluated using published data and occurrence data from the GEMS/Food database (https://extranet.who.int/gemsfood). Dietary risk assessments were conducted using GEMS/Food total aflatoxin occurrence and food consumption data obtained from the 17 Cluster Diets.

    • Frontiers in Microbiology
    • Feng Xu, Saba Ilyas, Jeffrey A. Hall, Stephen H. Jones, Vaughn S. Cooper and Cheryl A. Whistler Gastric infections caused by the environmentally transmitted pathogen, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, have increased over the last two decades, including in many parts of the United States (US). However, until recently, infections linked to shellfish from the cool northeastern US waters were rare. Cases have risen in the Northeast, consistent with changes in local V.

  20. Prevalence, Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Escherichia Coli Isolated from Duck Meat and Giblets

    • Journal of Food Safety
    • Escherichia coli is one of the foodborne pathogens associated with several cases of human sickness. Duck meat is an excellent source of animal-derived high quality proteins. This study was undertaken to investigate the possible transmission of diarrheagenic E. coli from consumption of duck meat and giblets. Additionally, expression of some virulence-associated genes in the isolated E. coli serotypes was examined using polymerase chain reaction.

  21. Effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the Biofilm Formation of Cronobacter Sakazakii Strains from Powdered Infant Formula

    • Journal of Food Safety
    • Biofilm of Cronobacter sakazakii on food contact surfaces is the important source of persistent contamination in powdered infant formula. This study aimed to assess the effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on biofilm formation. Results indicated that the biofilm-forming ability was strain specific and divalent cation concentrations dependent. Most of C. sakazakii formed the highest amount of biomass at 1.50% MgCl2 (17 strains, 74%) and 0.25% CaCl2 (10 strains, 43.4%).

  23. Physiochemical control of bacterial and protist community composition and diversity in Antarctic sea ice

    • Environmental Microbiology
    • Due to climate change, sea ice experiences changes in terms of extent and physical properties. In order to understand how sea ice microbial communities are affected by changes in physiochemical properties of the ice, we used 454-sequencing of 16S and 18S rRNA genes to examine environmental control of microbial diversity and composition in Antarctic sea ice.

  25. Comparative Investigation of the Efficacy of Three Different Adsorbents against OTA-Induced Toxicity in Broiler Chickens

    • Toxins
    • The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy of three different adsorbents, inorganic (modified zeolite), organic (esterified glucomannans) and mixed (inorganic and organic components, with the addition of enzymes), in protecting broilers from the toxic effects of ochratoxin A in feed. Broilers were fed diets containing 2 mg/kg of ochratoxin A (OTA) and supplemented with adsorbents at the recommended concentration of 2 g/kg for 21 days.
