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.

  3. Tannins inhibit SARS‐CoV‐2 through binding with catalytic dyad residues of 3CLpro: An in silico approach with 19 structural different hydrolysable tannins

    • Journal of Food Biochemistry

    • About 19 hydrolyzable tannins were computed against 3CLpro enzyme of 2019‐nCoV. It was found that pedunculagin, tercatain, and castalin interacted with Cys145 and His41 of 2019‐nCoV‐3CLpro. Likewise, pedunculagin‐2019‐nCoV‐3CLpro remain stable, with no obvious fluctuations. We predicted that the understandings obtained in the current study may evidence valued for discovering and unindustrialized novel natural anti‐COVID‐19 therapeutic agents in the near future.
