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. A review on photonic crystal materials in food detection

    • European Food Research and Technology

    • From farm to plate, food meets various challenges and pollution. Food detection is essential to ensure food safety. Although detection techniques have obtained great development, the accuracy, sensitivity and operating conditions still have room for improvement. Composed of dielectric media with different refractive indices to form a periodic structure, an optical material named photonic crystal (PC) can offer a breakthrough.

  2. Rapid and accurate quantification and analysis of nitrofuran metabolites residues in aquatic products by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

    • European Food Research and Technology

    • Nitrofurans, a kind of banned antibiotics for their serious toxic side effects, have often been found in aquatic products in the past and are still found nowadays which were a severe threat for human health. A rapid quantization of nitrofuran metabolites residues in aquatic products by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method was developed in this study.

  3. Application of cloud point extraction for residues of chloramphenicol and amoxicillin in milk samples by HPLC–DAD

    • European Food Research and Technology

    • A pre-concentration and sensitive determination method for residues of Chloramphenicol (CLP) and Amoxicillin (AMX) in milk samples were developed based on cloud point extraction (CPE) and HPLC–DAD analysis. CLP and AMX molecules were extracted to surfactant phases of polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG-6000) in the presence of pH 7.0 buffer and high electrolyte concentration.

  4. Identification and determination of antibacterial constituents in residue discharged from garlic-processing plant

    • European Food Research and Technology

    • Activity-guided fractionation based on in vitro assays was used to identify antibacterial components in the residue wasted in the manufacturing process of aged garlic extract (AGE). Antimicrobial activity of the hexane extract of aged garlic-derived residue (AGR) was evaluated against clinically isolated Gram-positive and -negative bacteria including levofloxacin (LVX)-resistant strains.
