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.

  3. Inactivation of Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes in cardamom using 150 KeV low-energy X-ray

    • Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies

    • This study aimed to investigate the inactivation effect of 150 KeV low-energy X-ray on Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes that were inoculated in dry cardamom. The D10 value for E. coli O157:H7 was 71.43 Gy and the tR values for S. Typhimurium, L. monocytogenes, and S. aureus were 53.57, 87.74, and 114.64 Gy, respectively.
