Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. This review tries to introduce the novel and promising technology of the nonthermal plasma against different viruses and virus surrogates, which can trigger food infections and gastroenteritis. It has been reported that the noroviruses are responsible for 21 million cases of gastrointestinal illness annually just in the United States.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. The present investigation was performed to determine the stability of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) under several industrial processing situations in dairies, including pasteurization, freezing, and storage in acidic conditions.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. Salmonella spp. are one of the main causes of foodborne disease in Europe and have been associated with consumption of pig meat. However, Salmonella monitoring programmes in pigs and pig meat are not harmonized between those European countries where they exist. In general, current control programmes in Europe can be split into those aiming for: (a) elimination of infection and (b) control and reduction.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. Bacillus cereus is among the primary food-poisoning pathogenic bacterium that causes diarrhea and emetic types of diseases throughout the world. Recent advances show that bacteriophages become important tools in detection and control of foodborne bacterial pathogens in foods. They gain the interest of researchers for the food industries mainly because they are host-specific and harmless to humans.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. Colonization of intestinal tract with the potential to exclude, displace, and inhibit enteric pathogens is principally dependent on the adhesion ability of probiotics. Therefore, probiotic efficacy is considered to be mainly determined by their adhesion ability.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. The inadequate food safety knowledge of street food vendors has proved to be an obstacle in ensuring the safety of street food. The aim of this study was to assess the food safety knowledge of street food vendors in Johannesburg, South Africa, and to evaluate both the compliance of their street food vending facilities with food safety regulations and the monitoring of these facilities.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. Forsythoside A is used as the main chemical marker for quality control of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl (F. suspensa, Lianqiao in Chinese) fruits and leaves. The hydrolysis of forsythoside A at high temperature and effects of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) on stability of forsythoside A were studied in the article. Forsythoside A, I, and H may be directly converted into each other at high temperature.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. Commiphora wightii based bioactive edible film was developed for the preservation of meat products. Maltodextrin and alginate-based edible films were developed using different levels of C.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. The aim of this study was to develop a portable electronic nose (e‐nose) system for the rapid and convenient detection of saponin in submerged fermentation of Tremella aurantialba (T. aurantialba) in situ. The system was built using hardware and software systems. The hardware system consisted of a gas path module and a circuit module, and the software framework provided a friendly human–computer interface and multivariate computational tools.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. This paper aims to create a new hybrid ensemble data mining model to predict the Salmonella presence in agricultural surface waters based on the combination of heterogeneous ensemble approach for feature selection, clustering, regression, and classification algorithms. The data set for this study was collected from six agricultural ponds in Central Florida consisting of 23 features with 540 instances (26 Salmonella positive and 514 Salmonella negative).

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. This article presents the release kinetics (RK) of a fungicidal antimicrobial agent (AMA), potassium sorbate (PS), that prolongs the shelf life of packaged food. The effects of PS release are explored on peanut and fresh bread to determine the effects of PS on Aspergillus niger (AN) microbe growth. The AN was cultured in a potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium to obtain AMA activity on the film.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. Foodborne microbial diseases constitute major health concern and therefore it is necessary to preserve food products to prolong their shelf life and safety. Promising method of food preservation is application of volatile natural agents into modified atmosphere in food packaging. Spices and condiments containing volatile oils could potentially be used.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. The potato processing industries generate substantial quantities of phenolic‐rich potato peels as waste by‐products that could be valuable natural sources of antimicrobials and antioxidants in food industry.

Journal of Food Safety, EarlyView. As farmers' markets have increased in size, scope, and complexity, so have potential food‐safety challenges and implications. Most products sold at farmers' markets may receive minimal to no treatment of decontamination which could increase their potential microbial risks. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of foodborne pathogens in select fresh produce procured from farmers' markets in Central Virginia.
