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. Cadmium‐affected synthesis of exopolysaccharides by rhizosphere bacteria

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aim

      Study is focused on the influence of cadmium addition to growth media on production yield, their size and molecular mass of exopolysaccharides (EPS) synthesized by three rhizosphere bacteria strains. Inhibition of bacterial growth by increasing concentrations of Cd2+ was also analysed.

  3. [ASAP] Dietary Compounds To Reduce In Vivo Inorganic Arsenic Bioavailability

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • It is estimated that approximately 200 million people are exposed to arsenic levels above the World Health Organization provisional guideline value, and various agencies have indicated the need to reduce this exposure. In view of the difficulty of removing arsenic from water and food, one alternative is to reduce its bioavailability (the amount that reaches the systemic circulation after ingestion).
