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. Antimicrobial activity and mechanism of isothiocyanate from Moringa oleifera seeds against Bacillus cereus and Cronobacter sakazakii and its application in goat milk

    • Food Control

    • This study was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity and mechanism of (4-[(4′-O-acetyl-α-L-rhamnosyloxy)benzyl] isothiocyanate) (RBITC) from Moringa oleifera seeds at the molecular level against Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) and Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) and to further analyze the application of RBITC in goat milk.

  2. Colorimetric sensor based on peroxidase-like activity of chitosan coated on magnetic nanoparticles for rapid detection of the total bacterial count in raw milk

    • European Food Research and Technology

    • Recently, frequent outbreaks of foodborne diseases have attracted increasing attention, and how to rapidly detect foodborne pathogens has also become an urgent issue. Herein, we reported the colorimetric sensor based on chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (CS@MNPs) for rapidly broad-spectrum detection of the total bacterial count, whose color change can be visible to the naked eye without any other sophisticated instruments.

  4. Microbial composition of Korean kefir and antimicrobial activity of Acetobacter fabarum DH1801

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • The microbial population of kefir made from Korean kefir grain was profiled via next‐generation sequencing technology at the species level. Interestingly, Acetobacter fabarum was the second most predominent bacteria in kefir. We isolated Acetobacter fabarum DH1801 strain and revealed its potent and broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. This could contribute to the anti‐contamination and probiotic attributes of Korean kefir.
