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. A systematic investigation of direct and indirect-cold atmospheric plasma treatment on Bacillus cereus and the application in black pepper

    • Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies

    • This study, for the first time, systematically investigated 1) the direct and indirect-cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) treatment on the inactivation of Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) in different matrices under different working conditions, 2) assessed the inactivation effect in peppercorns using kinetic models, and 3) studied the impact of CAP on food quality, including color, flavor and bioactive compounds.

  2. Reduction of E. coli O157: H7 and Bacillus cereus levels in red pepper powder using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma for enhanced quality

    • Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies

    • Although irradiation has been used to destroy bacteria and molds in spices globally, a new technology is needed to alleviate public fears of irradiation, the high cost of irradiated food, and environmental contamination at the irradiation facility.
