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. Encapsulation of Mānuka Essential Oil in Yeast Microcarriers for Enhanced Thermal Stability and Antimicrobial activity

    • Food and Bioprocess Technology

    • Foodborne pathogens present in food and agricultural systems are recognized as a considerable burden for human health and socioeconomic development. Mānuka essential oil (MEO) exhibits antimicrobial, antiparasitic, photo-protective, and some medicinal effects.

      • Bacillus cereus

  2. Evaluation of UV-C Irradiation Treatments on Microbial Safety, Ascorbic Acid, and Volatile Aromatics Content of Watermelon Beverage

    • Food and Bioprocess Technology

    • UV-C treatment technology is proposed as a potential alternative to thermal treatments for decontamination of beverages because heat may adversely affect the nutritive value and quality. Effects of UV-C irradiation processing on microbial inactivation, ascorbic acid, and volatile aromatics of watermelon beverage were evaluated using a flow-through UV system.
