  16. Camembert-type cheese quality and safety implications in relation to the timing of high-pressure processing during aging

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Bloomy rind cheeses, including Brie, Camembert, and related varieties, are at high risk of contamination by environmental pathogens during manufacture and ripening. This risk is particularly high during ripening due to open-air exposure of the product. Currently, no kill step is applied after manufacture or post ripening to control food safety risks associated with Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

  19. Trans-Cinnamaldehyde, Eugenol and Carvacrol Reduce Campylobacter jejuni Biofilms and Modulate Expression of Select Genes and Proteins

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of human foodborne illness globally, and is strongly linked with the consumption of contaminated poultry products. Several studies have shown that C. jejuni can form sanitizer tolerant biofilm leading to product contamination, however, limited research has been conducted to develop effective control strategies against C. jejuni biofilms.

  20. RNA Binding by the Campylobacter jejuni Post-transcriptional Regulator CsrA

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that commensally inhabits the intestinal tracts of livestock and birds, and which also persists in surface waters. C. jejuni is a leading cause of foodborne gastroenteritis, and these infections are sometimes associated with the development of post-infection sequelae such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Flagella are considered a primary virulence factor in C.

  25. [ASAP] Dietary Compounds To Reduce In Vivo Inorganic Arsenic Bioavailability

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • It is estimated that approximately 200 million people are exposed to arsenic levels above the World Health Organization provisional guideline value, and various agencies have indicated the need to reduce this exposure. In view of the difficulty of removing arsenic from water and food, one alternative is to reduce its bioavailability (the amount that reaches the systemic circulation after ingestion).
