    • Toxins

    • Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi that contaminate food and feed, and are involved in a series of foodborne illnesses and disorders in humans and animals. The mitigation of mycotoxin content via enzymatic degradation is a strategy to ensure safer food and feed, and to address the forthcoming issues in view of the global trade and sustainability. Nevertheless, the search for active enzymes is still challenging and time-consuming.

    • Food Analytical Methods

    • Cyclic and square wave voltammetric measurements were performed to deduce the electrochemical behavior of fomesafen herbicide on the prepared carbon nanotube paste electrodes. Fomesafen has created a well-defined cathodic peak at −540 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), but no corresponding oxidation peak has appeared on the reverse scan. The influence of the pH on the electro-reduction peak was tested at various pH values, and the E

  23. A System Model for Understanding the Role of Animal Feces as a Route of Contamination of Leafy Greens before Harvest [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The majority of foodborne outbreaks in the United States associated with the consumption of leafy greens contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 have been reported during the period of July to November. A dynamic system model consisting of subsystems and inputs to the system (soil, irrigation, cattle, wild pig, and rainfall) simulating a hypothetical farm was developed.

  24. Impacts of Seasonal Housing and Teat Preparation on Raw Milk Microbiota: a High-Throughput Sequencing Study [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • In pasture-based systems, changes in dairy herd habitat due to seasonality results in the exposure of animals to different environmental niches. These niches contain distinct microbial communities that may be transferred to raw milk, with potentially important food quality and safety implications for milk producers. It is postulated that the extent to which these microorganisms are transferred could be limited by the inclusion of a teat preparation step prior to milking.

  25. Differences in Abundances of Total Vibrio spp., V. vulnificus, and V. parahaemolyticus in Clams and Oysters in North Carolina [Microbial Ecology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Filter feeding shellfish can concentrate pathogenic bacteria, including Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, as much as 100-fold from the overlying water. These shellfish, especially clams and oysters, are often consumed raw, providing a route of entry for concentrated doses of pathogenic bacteria into the human body.
