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. Effect of Heat Treatment and Fermentation on Bioactive Behavior in Yoghurt Made from Camel Milk

    • American Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • In this study, the possibility to release bioactive peptides from camel milk using heat treatments and fermentation of camel milk was investigated. Camel milk was heated at 80°C for 30, 60, 90 and 120min. Samples of yoghurts after their fermentation and during storage were determined for proximate physicochemical and bioactive activities.

  7. Stand-alone EAL domain proteins form a distinct subclass of EAL proteins involved in regulation of cell motility and biofilm formation in enterobacteria

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The second messenger cyclic di-GMP is almost ubiquitous among bacteria and so are the cyclic di-GMP turnover proteins, which mediate the transition between motility and sessility. EAL domain proteins have been characterized as cyclic di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterases.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Vibrio vulnificus is an estuarine bacteria and potent opportunistic human pathogen. It enters the food-chain by asymptomatically colonizing a variety of marine organisms, most notably oysters. Expression of the brp-encoded extracellular polysaccharide, which enhances cell-surface adherence, is regulated by c-di-GMP and the activator BrpT. The V. cholerae and V.

  14. Toxins, Vol. 9, Pages 201: Regional Variations in the Risk and Severity of Ciguatera Caused by Eating Moray Eels

    • Toxins

    • Moray eels (Gymnothorax species) from tropical waters have long been known to be high-risk species, and the consumption of particularly the viscera or ungutted eels can result in severe ciguatera (known as Gymnothorax or moray eel poisoning), characterized by prominent neurological features. In this review, the main objective was to describe the risk and severity of ciguatera caused by eating moray eels in different parts of the world.

  15. Toxins, Vol. 9, Pages 200: Survey of Alternaria Toxins and Other Mycotoxins in Dried Fruits in China

    • Toxins

    • Occurrence of toxigenic molds and mycotoxins on dried fruits is a worldwide problem, but limited information is available in China. A total of 220 dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, dates and wolfberries) purchased from China were analyzed for 17 mycotoxins (i.e., Alternaria toxins, ochratoxin A (OTA), patulin (PAT) and trichothecenes) by UPLC-MS/MS, combined with a single-step cleanup. The result showed that at least one mycotoxin was detected in 142 samples (64.6%).
