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. Improved production of natural food preservative ε-poly-l-lysine using a novel producer Bacillus cereus

    • Food Bioscience

    • Author(s): Anuj H. Chheda , Madhavi R. Vernekar An indigenously isolated Bacillus cereus isolated from soil was found to be capable of producing ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL), a homo-poly-amino acid of l-lysine which is used as a safe food preservative. The production of the ε-PL was optimized by identifying the most significant components of the medium which affect its production under shake-flask conditions.

  2. Antagonistic effect of chitinolytic pseudomonas and bacillus on growth of fungal hyphae and spores of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus

    • Food Bioscience

    • In this study, antagonistic effects of the chitinolytic enzyme producing isolates of Pseudomonas fluorescens PB27, Bacillus cereus B1 and Bacillus thuringiensis K1 against the aflatoxigenic fungus Aspergillus flavus were investigated. Germination of the spores of A. flavus was inhibited by up to nearly 20% after co-incubation with P. fluorescens PB27 for 72h, whereas the fungal spores were less affected when incubated with either B. cereus B1 or B. thuringiensis K1. When P.
