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.

  7. Multi-dimensional nanoscale liquid chromatography and nano-electrospray ion-trap mass spectrometry for detection of Clostridium botulinum type C and the produced botulinum neurotoxin type C complex

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Author(s): Tanja Plößl, Nada Vujtovic-Ockenga, Corinna Kehrenberg, Bernd Klaubert

      Botulinum neurotoxin types C, D and their mosaic forms C/D and D/C produced mainly by Clostridium botulinum types C and D cause botulism in animals and belong to the most toxic substances for poultry and fish. In addition to intoxications, also toxoinfections with C. botulinum types C and D play a role that should not be underestimated, especially in veterinary medicine.

  17. Performance evaluation of a selective-enrichment-isolation protocol for Salmonella enterica from seafood

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Author(s): Parmanand Prabhakar, Manjusha Lekshmi, Toms C. Joseph, Amjad K. Balange, Binaya Bhusan Nayak, Sanath H. Kumar

      In this study using 57 finfish samples of marine origin, selective enrichment in Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) broth followed by isolation on the Hektoen enteric agar (HEA) yielded 50 (53.2%) of 94 isolates. The results suggest RV-HEA as the most suitable media combination for the recovery of Salmonella from tropical seafood.
