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. Determination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans in food samples by gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and comparison with gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS)

    • Journal of Food Composition and Analysis

    • Although gas chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) has been applied to the determination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) in various food samples, there is insufficient evidence to evaluate its equivalence with gas chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).

  2. Rapid and simultaneous extraction of phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from edible oil for GC–MS determination

    • Journal of Food Composition and Analysis

    • A QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe) method, for reliable semi-quantitative screening of 27 organic contaminants including phthalates (PAEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in edible oil, was developed.
