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. Rapid polarisation mapping in ferroelectrics using fourier masking

    • Journal of Microscopy

    • Ferroelectric materials, and more specifically ferroelectric domain walls (DWs) have become an area of intense research in recent years. Novel physical phenomena have been discovered at these nanoscale topological polarisation discontinuities by mapping out the polarisation in each atomic unit cell around the DW in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM).

  2. Comparison of Xenon and Gallium sources on the detection and mapping of Lithium in Li‐containing materials by using ToF‐SIMS combined FIB‐SEM

    • Journal of Microscopy

    • Li can find itself a wide range of applications since it's the lightest metal. However, Li detection by microscopy‐based techniques is problematic because of the highly susceptible nature during electron beam irradiation. ToF‐SIMS is a versatile technique to detect Li but the detection of light materials is also problematic due to the large ion contaminated zone and low sputtering yield.

  3. Correlative X‐ray and neutron tomography of root systems using cadmium fiducial markers

    • Journal of Microscopy

    • The interactions between plant roots and soil are an area of active research, particularly in terms of water and nutrient uptake. Since non‐invasive, in vivo studies are required, tomographic imaging appears an obvious method to use, but no one imaging modality is well suited to capture the complete system.
