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. Enhanced Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Landfill Soil Using Filamentous Fungi Consortia: a Demonstration of Bioaugmentation Potential

    • Water, Air, & Soil Pollution

    • This study aimed to determine the mycoremediative capacity of filamentous fungi consortia in landfill heavy metal contaminated soil. Streak plate method was utilized for the isolation of fungi from the landfill soil. Isolates were identified using morphological and molecular techniques. Heavy metal tolerance of the fungi was determined using radial growth diameter technique. Twelve species of landfill indigenous fungi were used for the bioremediation process.

  2. Mobility of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, Glyphosate, and Metribuzine Herbicides in Terra Rossa-Amended Soil: Multiple Approaches with Experimental and Mathematical Modeling Studies

    • Water, Air, & Soil Pollution

    • 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyl acetic acid (2,4-D), glyphosate, and metribuzine are used extensively as an herbicide in the vicinity of Antalya, Turkey. The objective of this study was to investigate the mobility of such herbicides in terra rossa-amended soil by multiple approaches with batch, miscible-displacement, and mathematical modeling studies. The results indicated that the sorption isotherms exhibited predominantly linear behavior over a wide range (0–100 mg/L) of selected herbicides.

  3. Determination of the Kinetic Behavior of Diclofenac in Aqueous Solution by UV Light Radiation

    • Water, Air, & Soil Pollution

    • Diclofenac (DCF) is one of the most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs worldwide, and several studies have reported adverse effects on the environment, in plants and animals; so, it is classified as an emerging pollutant.

  4. Uptake of Cd and Pb from Aqueous Solutions Using Selected Tree Leaves Through Phytoremediation

    • Water, Air, & Soil Pollution

    • Leaves of five selected plants Citrus limon (Rutaceae), Ceratonia siliqua L., Olea europaea (Oleaceae), Washingtonia filifera, and Myoporum (Myoporaceae) grown in Jordan were examined for removal of heavy metals (cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) ions) for aqueous solutions. Cd and Pb were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. A pH S-2 acidometer was used for determining the acidity of leaves–solution systems.
