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. Quantification of hepatitis E virus in raw pork livers using droplet digital RT-PCR

    • Food Microbiology

    • Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of hepatitis E. Some of the rise in hepatitis E infection in China may be linked to undercooked pork. In this study, we established a reverse transcription droplet digital PCR (RT-ddPCR) method to detect HEV in raw pork livers. The detection limit of the assay for HEV RNA was as low as 1.81 copies/μL.
