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.

  6. The impact of dietary habits on contaminant exposures

    • Food and Chemical Toxicology

    • Author(s): Annette Petersen, Bodil Hamborg Jensen, Nathalie Michelle Löbl, Elsa Nielsen, Lea Bredsdorff, Sisse Fagt, Tue Christensen, Julie Boberg This study shows that dietary habits have an impact on contaminant exposures. A tool was developed to calculate chemical exposures for different Danish population groups. First, the tool divided the individuals into quartiles using a previously developed scoring system for how well their diet complies with the Danish dietary guidelines.

      Abstract

      Pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) forming plants are found worldwide and may contaminate food products at levels being of concern for human health. Due to the high biodiversity of PA producing plants many different types of PA structures are formed. PAs themselves are not toxic but require metabolic activation to exert toxicity.

    • Food and Chemical Toxicology

    • Author(s): Grazia Barone, Arianna Storelli, Nicoletta C. Quaglia, Angela Dambrosio, Rita Garofalo, Roberta Chiumarulo, Maria M. Storelli In order to investigate PCB and PCDD/F concentrations and potential human health risk a study has been conducted in meat samples (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) purchased from Italian supermarkets. PCBs were dominant (41.8–77.7 ng g−1 l.w.) with respect to PCDD/Fs (20.1–91.1 pg g−1 l.w.).
