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.

  2. Role of domestic ducks in the emergence of a new genotype of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza A viruses in Bangladesh

    • Emerging Microbes & Infections

    • Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses were first isolated in Bangladesh in February 2007. Subsequently, clades 2.2.2, 2.3.4.2 and 2.3.2.1a were identified in Bangladesh, and our previous surveillance data revealed that by the end of 2014, the circulating viruses exclusively comprised clade 2.3.2.1a.

  4. Dynamic Effects of Biochar on the Bacterial Community Structure inSoil Contaminated with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Amending soil with biochar is an effective soil remediation strategy for organic contaminants. This study investigated the dynamic effects of wheat straw biochar on the bacterial community structure during remediation by high-throughput sequencing. The wheat straw biochar amended into the soil significantly reduced the bioavailability and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Biochar amendment helped to maintain the bacterial diversity in the PAH-contaminated soil.

  6. Metabolism of Foodborne Heterocyclic Aromatic Aminesby Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 20016

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • The heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA) 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is converted into 7-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-phenyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[3′,2′:4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ium chloride (PhIP-M1) via a chemical reaction with 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde or acrolein derived from glycerol by reuterin producing gut bacteria.

  11. Quality Evaluation of Awka Market Honey and Honey from Beekeepers in Two Floral Regions of Anambra State, Nigeria

    • American Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • Honey sold in Awka market is supplied from within and outside Anambra State, Nigeria. The quality from identified sellers in the market was evaluated and compared with honey from two floral regions in the state and some reported international standards. Analyses were carried out on the proximate composition, some mineral elements, physical properties, microbial counts and inhibition activities, and organoleptic qualities using standard methods.

  13. Overexpression and Low Expression of SelenoproteinS Impact Ochratoxin A-Induced Porcine Cytotoxicity and Apoptosisin Vitro

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Our previous study demonstrated that selenium could alleviate ochratoxin A (OTA)-induced nephrotoxicity in PK15 cells. Selenoprotein S (SelS) has antioxidant activities, but it is unclear whether SelS plays a role in the alleviating effects of selenium on OTA-induced nephrotoxicity. We previously have stably transfected pig pCDNA3.1-SelS to PK15 cells to overexpress SelS.
