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.

  3. Mutagenicity of Ochratoxin A: Role for a Carbon-LinkedC8–Deoxyguanosine Adduct?

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a fungal toxin that is considered to be a potent kidney carcinogen in rodent models. The toxin produces double strand breaks and has a propensity for deletions, single-base substitutions, and insertions. The toxin reacts covalently with DNA to afford a C8–2′-deoxyguanosine carbon-linked adduct (OT–dG) as the major lesion in animal tissues.

  7. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 335: Detoxification of Deoxynivalenol via Glycosylation Represents Novel Insights on Antagonistic Activities of Trichoderma when Confronted with Fusarium graminearum

    • Toxins

    • Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin mainly produced by the Fusarium graminearum complex, which are important phytopathogens that can infect crops and lead to a serious disease called Fusarium head blight (FHB). As the most common B type trichothecene mycotoxin, DON has toxic effects on animals and humans, which poses a risk to food security. Thus, efforts have been devoted to control DON contamination in different ways.

  8. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 336: Comparison of In-Solution Biorecognition Properties of Aptamers against Ochratoxin A

    • Toxins

    • Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced as a secondary metabolite by several species of Aspergillus and Penicillium and frequently found as a natural contaminant in a wide range of food commodities. Novel and robust biorecognition agents for detecting this molecule are required. Aptamers are artificial nucleic acid ligands able to bind with high affinity and specificity to a given target molecule.

  9. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 338: Addition of Carbon to the Culture Medium Improves the Detection Efficiency of Aflatoxin Synthetic Fungi

    • Toxins

    • Aflatoxin (AF) is a harmful secondary metabolite that is synthesized by the Aspergillus species. Although AF detection techniques have been developed, techniques for detection of AF synthetic fungi are still required. Techniques such as plate culture methods are continually being modified for this purpose. However, plate culture methods require refinement because they suffer from several issues.
