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. Development of a magnetic separation immunoassay with high sensitivity and time-saving for detecting aflatoxin B1 in agricultural crops using nanobody

    • European Food Research and Technology

    • Detection methods with high sensitivity and short assay time are urgently required for quantitative analysis of small-molecule hazardous substances in food monitoring. In this work, a new anti-aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) nanobody was screened from an immunized nanobody library, and an ultrafast one-step detection of AFB1 without immobilization and multi-step washing was developed based on magnetic separation technology and nanobody (Nb)-alkaline phosphatase (ALP) fusion protein.

  2. Concentration of aflatoxins in edible vegetable oils: a systematic meta-analysis review

    • European Food Research and Technology

    • Edible vegetable oils are essential components of our daily diet that are widely consumed in great amounts worldwide. The present study evaluated the concentration of aflatoxins (AFTs) in highly consumed vegetable oils (including peanut, olive, corn, soya bean, linseed, sesame, palm, canola, sunflower, and coconut) through a systematic review and meta-analytic approach.
