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. Pesticide residues in beebread and honey in Apis cerana cerana and their hazards to honey bees and human

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • The residue of pesticides in bee products such as beebread and honey threaten the survival of pollinators and human health. Apis cerana cerana is one of the leading managed honey bees in China. However, little is known about the residues of pesticides in hive products of A. c. cerana in China.

  4. Modeling pesticide residues in nectar and pollen in support of pesticide exposure assessment for honeybees: A generic modeling approach

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • Pesticide residues in nectar and pollen of plants can damage honeybees; however, few modeling approaches have simulated residue levels in nectar and pollen in support of exposure assessment for honeybees.

  5. Rapid determination and dietary intake risk assessment of 249 pesticide residues in Panax notoginseng

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • UPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS were used to establish a method to simultaneously determine various pesticide residues in Panax notoginseng. Results showed that the limits of detection of 249 pesticides were all 5–10 μg/kg. The detection rate of pesticides in 121 P. notoginseng samples was 93.39%, and 19 pesticides were detected.
