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.

  17. Biomonitoring of heat-induced food contaminants: Quantitative analysis of furan dependent glutathione- and lysine-adducts in rat urine as putative biomarkers of exposure

    • Food and Chemical Toxicology

    • Author(s): D. Karlstetter, A. Mally

      Furan is a liver toxicant and carcinogen that occurs in heat-processed foods. Due to its volatility, analysis of furan in food does not provide reliable estimates of exposure. Biomarker-based approaches offer the opportunity to more accurately assess human exposure, but a correlation between concentrations of potential biomarkers of furan exposure and external dose has not been established.
