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. Gentle debranning as a technology to reduce microbial and deoxynivalenol levels in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its application in milling industry

    • Journal of Cereal Science
    • In order to improve the hygienic characteristics of the wheat kernels and flours, gentle debranning technology was employed in this study. The physical, chemical and microbial modifications associated with the debranning of common wheat at a peeling rate of 0–5% were examined. Results showed that 80.1% of microorganisms and 15.82% of deoxynivalenol were removed when 1.08% of the total weight of the grain was peeled.

  2. Characteristic wavelengths optimization improved the predictive performance of near-infrared spectroscopy models for determination of aflatoxin B1 in maize

    • Journal of Cereal Science
    • A neoteric measure for quantitative assay of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in maize based on an optimized feature model of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was proposed in the work. A portable near-infrared spectroscopy system constructed by the group was employed to collect maize samples with varying degrees of mildew.
