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.

  1. Effects of tcpB mutations on biogenesis and function of TCP, the type IVb pilus of Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Vibrio cholerae is the etiological agent of the acute intestinal disorder cholera. The toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), a type IVb pilus, is an essential virulence factor of V. cholerae. Recent work has shown TcpB is a large minor pilin encoded within the tcp operon. TcpB contributes to efficient pilus formation and is essential for all TCP functions. Here we have initiated a detailed, targeted mutagenesis approach to further characterize this salient TCP component.

  2. Large sequence diversity within biosynthesis locus and common biochemical features of Campylobacter coli lipooligosaccharides

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Despite the importance of lipooligosaccharides (LOS) in the pathogenicity of campylobacteriosis, little is known about the genetic and phenotypic diversity of LOS in C. coli. In this study, we investigated the distribution of LOS locus classes among a large collection of unrelated C. coli isolates sampled from several different host species. Furthermore, we paired C.

  6. Microwave thawing and green tea extract efficiency for the formation of acrylamide throughout the production process of chicken burgers and chicken nuggets

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      BACKGROUND

      As a first foresight, we measured the AA level of chicken burgers (CBs) and chicken nuggets (CNs) purchased from fast food restaurants. After the determination of AA presence in these products, we aimed to investigate whether green tea extract (GTE) usage into covering material and microwave thawing (MT) before frying mitigated the AA formation in CBs and CNs during the production process.

  14. Effects of electrolysis time and electric potential on chlorine generation of electrolyzed deep ocean water

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • Electrolyzed water is a sustainable disinfectant, which can comply with food safety regulations and is environmentally friendly. A two-factor central composite design was adopted for studying the effects of electrolysis time and electric potential on the chlorine generation efficiency of electrolyzed deep ocean water (DOW). DOW was electrolyzed in a glass electrolyzing cell equipped with platinum–plated titanium anode and cathode.

  25. Factors Associated with Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Shedding by Dairy and Beef Cattle [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important foodborne pathogen that can cause hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Cattle are the primary reservoir for STEC, and food or water contaminated with cattle feces is the most common source of infections in humans.
