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. Prevalence, antibiotic resistance and virulence feature of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from bovine milk in Yunnan, Southwest China

    • International Dairy Journal

    • The prevalence of L. monocytogenes in bovine milk from different regions of Yunnan Province, Southwest China, was investigated. The isolated strains were genotyped using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and their virulence and antibiotic resistance potential analysed with whole-genome sequencing (WGS). A total of 8 L. monocytogenes strains were isolated from 4 out of 161 samples, with a detection rate of 2.48%.

  2. Lethality of high hydrostatic pressure processing on Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in low salt white brined cheese: D-value

    • International Dairy Journal

    • The lethal effect of high hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP), expressed as D-value, on some common pathogens found in low salt white brined cheese was studied.

  3. Saltatory rolling circle amplification assay for simple and visual detection of Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products

    • International Dairy Journal

    • A novel saltatory rolling circle amplification (SRCA) assay was established for prompt identification of L. monocytogenes in milk and Indian milk cake (kalakhand). The SRCA and conventional PCR were independently able to detect 63 fg and 630 fg L. monocytogenes DNA per reaction, respectively. The detection limit of SRCA was evaluated in artificially contaminated milk and kalakhand.

  4. The applicability of predictive microbiology tools for analysing Listeria monocytogenes contamination in butter produced by the traditional batch churning method

    • International Dairy Journal

    • The study was carried out on the assumption that raw materials for butter production by the traditional batch churning method can be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes cells. Raw milk and cream used in butter making were experimentally contaminated with the pathogen, and two contamination scenarios were considered. In the first variant, it was assumed that cream for butter making is contaminated with L. monocytogenes.

  5. Survival and thermal resistance of Listeria monocytogenes in dry and hydrated nonfat dry milk and whole milk powder during extended storage

    • International Dairy Journal

    • The survivability and thermal resistance of L. monocytogenes was determined in dry and hydrated nonfat dry milk (NFDM) and whole milk powder (WMP) during 180 days of storage. The hydrated milks were prepared from stored, inoculated milk powders on the day of D- and z-value analyses. The overall L. monocytogenes population in milk powders was 7.0 log cfu g-1 on day 1, which reduced by ∼2.2 log cfu g-1 at the end of storage.
