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. The effect of governance mechanisms on food safety in the supply chain: Evidence from the Lebanese dairy sector

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      BACKGROUND

      Food safety is a key public health issue worldwide. This study aims to characterize existing governance mechanisms – governance structures (GS) and food safety management systems (FSMS) – and analyze the alignment thereof in detecting food safety hazards, based on empirical evidence from Lebanon.

  5. Identification of an exposure risk to heavy metals from pharmaceutical-grade rubber stoppers

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • Exposure to low concentrations of heavy metals and metalloids represents a well-documented risk to animal and human health. However, current standards (EP, USP, ISO, YBB concerned with rubber closures) only require testing for Zn in pharmaceutical-grade rubber stoppers and then using only pure water as a solvent. We extracted and quantified heavy metals and trace elements from pharmaceutical-grade rubber stoppers under conditions that might occur during the preparation of drugs.

  6. Antibiofilm activity of cashew juice pulp against Staphylococcus aureus, high performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses, and interference on antimicrobial drugs

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • The epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus infection has evolved in recent years, as this species is a major gram-positive pathogen associated with healthcare services. The strong antimicrobial resistance of S. aureus raises an urgent need for new strategies against S. aureus infections. Fruits play important nutritional and economic roles in society, but their biological and pharmacological potentials are poorly explored when compared to nonedible parts of plants such as barks and leaves.
