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.

  4. A combination process to ensure microbiological safety, extend storage life and reduce anti-nutritional factors in legume sprouts

    • Food Bioscience

    • Publication date: Available online 27 November 2018 Food BioscienceAuthor(s): Sanjeev Kumar, Satyendra GautamAbstractSprouts are consumed worldwide as a highly nutritive food. However, the sprouting process is quite supportive of microbial and pathogenic growth. This makes the sprouts such as mung (Vigna radiata), lucerne (Medicago sativa) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum), potential sources of foodborne infections and intoxications.

  15. Changes in Transcriptome of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis IP32953 Grown at 3 and 28°C Detected by RNA Sequencing Shed Light on Cold Adaptation

    • Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology

    • Jussa-Pekka Virtanen, Riikka Keto-Timonen, Kaisa Jaakkola, Noora Salin, Hannu Korkeala Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a bacterium that not only survives, but also thrives, proliferates, and remains infective at cold-storage temperatures, making it an adept foodborne pathogen. We analyzed the differences in gene expression between Y. pseudotuberculosis IP32953 grown at 3 and 28°C to investigate which genes were significantly more expressed at low temperature at different phases of growth.
