  1. Rapid Identification of Different Pathogenic Spore-Forming Bacteria in Spice Powders Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Chemometrics

    • Food Analytical Methods

    • Bacterial spores were isolated and purified from three powder spices: garlic powder, onion powder, and five-spice powder. The rapid identification of different bacteriophages was achieved by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with chemometrics. Five bacilli were isolated in the powdered spices: Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus licheniformis, and Paenibacillus pabuli.
