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. Investigation of efficient thermal inactivation parameters of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in meatballs by grilling

    • Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • The aim of the study was to investigate the safe cooking parameters to eliminate E.coli O157:H7 in commonly consumed meatball types, by simulating the meatball formula and the cooking practices of restaurants. Ground meat was inoculated around 7 ± 1 log cfu/g with a cocktail of 5 strains of E.coli O157:H7. The meatballs were prepared with different ingredients and seasonings depending on the type (kasap or İnegöl).

    • Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • This study evaluated the chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas mediated inactivation of the biofilm cells of foodborne pathogens on food contact surfaces. Biofilm cells of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes were developed on stainless steel (SS) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) coupon surfaces, and 5-day-old biofilms were treated with ClO2 gas at 60 and 90% relative humidity (RH) for up to 20 min.

  3. Occurrence of multiple drug-resistant Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli in raw milk samples collected from retail outlets in South India

    • Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • The prevalence of Shiga-toxigenic E. coli (STEC), harbouring multidrug-resistant genes in raw milk collected from household vendors and cooperative milk marketing societies in Ernakulam District, Kerala, India, has been investigated. A higher prevalence of STEC pathotypes, with 47.16% (20 out of 42 samples), was observed in raw milk. A total of 157 STEC isolates were identified, which included notorious pathoserotypes, E. coli O157 group (10.19%) and E.

  4. Evaluation of microbiological safety, physicochemical and aromatic qualities of shiikuwasha (Citrus depressa Hayata) juice after high pressure processing

    • Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • This study evaluated high pressure processing (HPP) for achieving greater than 5-log reduction of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in shiikuwasha (Citrus depressa Hayata) juices and compare quality parameters, including microbiological safety, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavanones (TFC), and polymethoxylated flavones, browning, volatile aromatic, and physicochemical properties of HPP-treated juice with those of high-temperature short-time pasteurized juice.

  5. Determination of the changes in the gastric fluid endurance of O157 and non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli during storage of experimentally produced beef frankfurter

    • Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • Resistance of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 and serogroups O103, O26 and O145 to synthetic gastric fluid (SGF, pH 1.5) were investigated during frankfurter storage. Pathogens were inoculated (5 ± 1 log10 cfu g−1) on frankfurters and frankfurters were stored at 4 °C for 75 days in vacuum packages.
