    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      The aims of this study were to assess the pathogenic potential, antimicrobial resistance and genotypic diversity of Salmonella Typhimurium strains isolated in Brazil from swine (22) and the surrounding swine environment (5) from 2000-2012 and compare them to the profiles of 43 human strains isolated from 1983-2010, which had been previously studied.

  6. Microevolution of Monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium during Epidemic, United Kingdom

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • Microevolution associated with emergence and expansion of new epidemic clones of bacterial pathogens holds the key to epidemiologic success. To determine microevolution associated with monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium during an epidemic, we performed comparative whole-genome sequencing and phylogenomic analysis of isolates from the United Kingdom and Italy during 2005–2012.

  7. Evaluation of boldenone as a growth promoter in broilers: safety and meat quality aspects

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • The object of this study was to evaluate the safety and meat quality criteria in broilers following intramuscular injection of boldenone. Twenty-four broiler chicks, divided into two groups, were used in the present study. Boldenone was injected intramuscularly at a single-dose level of 5 mg/kg body weight into 12 broiler chicks at 2 weeks old; the other 12 chicks were injected with sesame oil and kept as controls.

  8. Effects of electrode gap 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 electrode gap and electric potential on chlorine generation efficiency of electrolyzed deep ocean water. Deep ocean water was electrolyzed in a glass electrolyzing cell equipped with platinum-plated titanium anode and cathode.

    • Food Control

    • Publication date: August 2016, Volume 66 Author(s): Abhay K. Grover, Shweta Chopra, Gretchen A. Mosher The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law in the United States in 2011, shifting the existing food safety focus from a reactive to a preventive approach. According to literature, legislative requirements of FSMA can be challenging for small food facilities affected by the regulations immediately or in near future.

  14. Development and Validation of a Near-Infrared SpectroscopyMethod for the Prediction of Acrylamide Content in French-Fried Potato

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • This study investigated the ability of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to predict acrylamide content in French-fried potato. Potato flour spiked with acrylamide (50–8000 μg/kg) was used to determine if acrylamide could be accurately predicted in a potato matrix. French fries produced with various pretreatments and cook times (n = 84) and obtained from quick-service restaurants (n = 64) were used for model development and validation.

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • An effective sample preparation procedure using an accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) procedure, followed by cleaning with melamine molecularly imprinted polymers solid-phase extraction (MISPE) was developed. A novel and highly sensitive ASE–MISPE–ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method was developed for effective separation and simultaneous determination of dicyandiamide (DCD), cyromazine (CYR), and melamine (MEL) in complex animal tissue foods.
