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. Using peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH) to detect Campylobacter spp. in food samples

    • LWT
    • Foodborne diseases have a considerable negative impact on socioeconomic development globally and are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Among the foodborne bacterial pathogens, Campylobacter spp. is recognized as the leading cause of foodborne illness.

  2. Reduction of Campylobacter on broiler carcasses using slurry ice

    • LWT
    • Reduction of Campylobacter on broiler meat is crucial for decreasing the number of campylobacteriosis cases. A module (IceGun®) that sprays slurry ice on carcasses has been developed to enhance the chilling capacity in poultry slaughterhouses and may, in addition, help reduce the bacterial load. The present study investigated how slurry ice (IceGun®) affects the Campylobacter load on broiler carcasses.

  3. A smartphone-assisted high-throughput integrated color-sensing platform for the rapid detection of Campylobacter coli

    • LWT
    • Campylobacter is one of the most common foodborne pathogens worldwide. A new smartphone-assisted high-throughput integrated color-sensing platform, called the HICS platform, was developed for the rapid detection of Campylobacter coli. This platform was based on the visual loop-mediated isothermal amplification method. Using this system, as many as 64 samples could be assessed in less than an hour after enrichment.
