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. Reduction of in utero lead exposures in South African populations: Positive impact of unleaded petrol

    • PLOS ONE

    • Halina B. Röllin, Bukola Olutola, Kalavati Channa, Jon Ø. Odland

      Background

      Prenatal exposure to lead (Pb) has been shown to have negative and irreversible health impacts on foetal and early childhood development, affecting morbidity and mortality in adulthood. This study aimed to assess in utero Pb exposure, examine birth outcomes, and identify confounding factors in the large cohort of South African population, following the legislated removal of Pb from petrol.

  7. Variability of pesticide residues in eggplant units collected from a field trial and marketplaces in Greece

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      BACKGROUND

      Variability of pesticide residues among food items is very important when assessing the risks and food safety for the consumers. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to estimate the unit-to-unit residue variability factors for eggplant.

  11. Functional Analysis of Genes Comprising the Locus of Heat Resistance in Escherichia coli [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The locus of heat resistance (LHR) is a 15- to 19-kb genomic island conferring exceptional heat resistance to organisms in the family Enterobacteriaceae, including pathogenic strains of Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli. The complement of LHR-comprising genes that is necessary for heat resistance and the stress-induced or growth-phase-induced expression of LHR-comprising genes are unknown.

  16. Rome’s urban history inferred from Pb-contaminated waters trapped in its ancient harbor basins [Anthropology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Heavy metals from urban runoff preserved in sedimentary deposits record long-term economic and industrial development via the expansion and contraction of a city’s infrastructure. Lead concentrations and isotopic compositions measured in the sediments of the harbor of Ostia—Rome’s first harbor—show that lead pipes used in the water supply networks of...
