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.

  1. Equipping Durum Wheat—Thinopyrum ponticum Recombinant Lines With a Thinopyrum elongatum Major QTL for Resistance to Fusarium Diseases Through a Cytogenetic Strategy

    • Frontiers in Plant Science

    • Prompted by recent changes in climate trends, cropping areas, and management practices, Fusarium head blight (FHB), a threatening disease of cereals worldwide, is also spreading in unusual environments, where bread wheat (BW) and durum wheat (DW) are largely cultivated.

  2. Evaluation of Real-Time PCR Coupled With Multiplex Probe Melting Curve Analysis for Pathogen Detection in Patients With Suspected Bloodstream Infections

    • Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology

    • Background: This study aimed to evaluate real-time polymerase chain reaction coupled with multiplex probe melting curve analysis (PCR-MCA) for pathogen detection in patients with suspected bloodstream infections (BSIs).

      Methods: A PCR-MCA assay was developed for simultaneous identification of 28 kinds of the most common pathogens and two resistance genes within a few hours. The diagnostic performance of the PCR-MCA assay was determined and compared to the results of blood culture.

  3. Effect of buckwheat extracts on acrylamide formation and the quality of bread

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • BACKGROUND The presence of acrylamide in food has attracted wide attention and has raised concerns due to its potential toxic and carcinogenic effects. The phenolic compounds in buckwheat display strong antioxidant activity, which may affect the acrylamide levels. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of buckwheat extracts on acrylamide formation and the quality of the bread, and to investigate possible inhibitory mechanisms.

  4. Interaction of a novel Bacillus velezensis (BvL03) against Aeromonas hydrophila in vitro and in vivo in grass carp

    • Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology

    • This study evaluated the inhibition and interaction of Bacillus velezensis BvL03 as a probiotic agent against Aeromonas hydrophila. Strain BvL03 isolated from sediment samples of fish ponds had excellent antimicrobial activity against several fish pathogenic bacteria, especially Aeromonas, including A. hydrophila, A. veronii, A. caviae, and A. sobria.
