    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) in honey can be a potential human health risk. So far, it has remained unclear whether PAs in honey originate from pollen or floral nectar. We obtained honey, nectar, and plant pollen from two observation sites where Echium vulgare L. was naturally abundant.

  24. Surface anchor for Salmonella Typhi Vi antigen [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Polysaccharide capsules are surface structures that are critical for the virulence of many Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is the etiological agent of typhoid fever. It produces a capsular polysaccharide known as “Vi antigen,” which is composed of nonstoichiometrically O-acetylated α-1,4-linked N-acetylgalactosaminuronic acid residues. This glycan is a...

  25. Viable bacterial population and persistence of foodborne pathogens on the pear carpoplane

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • ABSTRACT

      BACKGROUND

      Knowledge on the culturable bacteria and foodborne pathogen presence on pears is important to understand the impact of postharvest practices on food safety assurance. Pear fruit bacteria were investigated from the point of harvest, following chlorine drenching and after controlled atmosphere (CA) storage to assess the impact on the natural bacterial populations and potential foodborne pathogens.
