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. Using UVC Light-Emitting Diodes at Wavelengths of 266 to 279 Nanometers To Inactivate Foodborne Pathogens and Pasteurize Sliced Cheese [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • UVC light is a widely used sterilization technology. However, UV lamps have several limitations, including low activity at refrigeration temperatures, a long warm-up time, and risk of mercury exposure. UV-type lamps only emit light at 254 nm, so as an alternative, UV light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) which can produce the desired wavelengths have been developed.

  2. Fundamental Characteristics of Deep-UV Light-Emitting Diodes and Their Application To Control Foodborne Pathogens [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Low-pressure mercury UV (LP-UV) lamps have long been used for bacterial inactivation, but due to certain disadvantages, such as the possibility of mercury leakage, deep-UV-C light-emitting diodes (DUV-LEDs) for disinfection have recently been of great interest as an alternative.

  3. Multiresidue Method for Determination of 183 PesticideResidues in Leeks by Rapid Multiplug Filtration Cleanup and Gas Chromatography–TandemMass Spectrometry

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • This study reports the development of a novel multiplug filtration cleanup (m-PFC) procedure for analysis of pesticide residues in leek samples followed by gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry detection. The leek samples were initially purified following the dispersive solid-phase extraction with different sorbents to determine the most suitable proportioning of sorbent materials; then, the m-PFC method was carried out by applying the streamlined procedure with syringes.

  5. Uptake and Accumulation of Nephrotoxic and CarcinogenicAristolochic Acids in Food Crops Grown in Aristolochiaclematitis-Contaminated Soil and Water

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Emerging evidence has suggested aristolochic acids (AAs) are linked to the development of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), a chronic renal disease affecting numerous farmers living in the Balkan peninsula. However, the pathway by which AAs enter the human food chain and cause kidney disease remains poorly understood. Using our previously developed analytical method with high sensitivity and selectivity (Chan, W.; Lee, K. C.; Liu, N.; Cai, Z. J. Chromatogr.

  12. Biochemical Analysis of Chickpea Accessions vis-a-vis; Zinc, Iron, Total Protein, Proline and Antioxidant Activity

    • American Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • Legumes are good source of proteins and micronutrients. Chickpea is one such preferred legume source of protein after milk only. Development of chickpea cultivars with high concentration of zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) is one of the prime objective of breeding programmes. The aim of this study was to analyze chickpea seeds and compare their biochemical properties.
