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. Distribution of cereulide-producing Bacillus cereus in raw milk in Hokkaido, Japan, and evaluation of cereulide production

    • International Dairy Journal

    • It is important to understand the distribution of strains of Bacillus cereus that produce the emetic toxin, cereulide, in raw milk, and to evaluate their impact on the safety of milk and dairy products. The distribution of cereulide-producing B. cereus was investigated for isolates from raw milk in Hokkaido, Japan, and the ability of strains to produce cereulide in milk was also studied.

  2. Modelling adhesion and biofilm formation by Bacillus cereus isolated from dairy products as a function of pH, temperature and time

    • International Dairy Journal

    • This study aimed to establish a mathematical model capable of predicting the adhesion and biofilm formation by Bacillus cereus isolates on stainless steel surface under different combinations of pH, temperature and time. Logistic regression models were developed to predict the probability of adhesion or biofilm formation on the surface by the pathogen.
