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.

  8. Purification, characterization and antibacterial spectrum of a compound produced by Bacillus cereus MTCC 10072

    • Archives of Microbiology

    • Awareness of the consumer has increased the demand of safe and chemical-free foods, and consequently it has increased the demand of antibacterial bioactive compounds. In the present study, antibacterial compound produced by a local bacterial isolate NSD MTCC 10072, showing antagonistic activity against six human pathogens, was isolated, partially purified and characterized. Maximum production of antibacterial compound was observed between 51 and 60 h after seeding.

  9. Construction and in vitro characterisation of aroA defective ( aroA Δ) mutant Salmonella Infantis

    • Archives of Microbiology

    • Poultry vaccine programs are important for control of Salmonella infections. Although there are vaccines for Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Typhi, there are no vaccines for Salmonella Infantis which has an increased rate in the world.

  13. Simultaneous Determination of Twenty Mycotoxins in the Korean Soybean Paste Doenjang by LC-MS/MS with Immunoaffinity Cleanup

    • Toxins

    • Doenjang, a Korean fermented soybean paste, is vulnerable to contamination by mycotoxins because it is directly exposed to environmental microbiota during fermentation. A method that simultaneously determines 20 mycotoxins in doenjang, including aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEN), and fumonisins (FBs) with an immunoaffinity column cleanup was optimized and validated in doenjang using LC-MS/MS.

  17. Fumonisin B1, B2 and B3 in Muscle and Liver of Broiler Chickens and Turkey Poults Fed with Diets Containing Fusariotoxins at the EU Maximum Tolerable Level

    • Toxins

    • Although provisional maximum tolerable daily intake and recommended guidelines have been established for fumonisins (FB) in food, few data are available concerning levels of FB in edible animal tissues. Such data are of particular interest in avian species that can tolerate relatively high levels of fumonisins in their feed.
