Characterization of Physicochemical Properties of Xanthan/Curdlan Hydrogel Complex for Applications in Frozen Food Products
(2011)
Syneresis, expulsion of moisture from food, remains a major challenge in frozen products, due to post-production temperature fluctuation during distribution, transportation, and storage. Curdlan, an FDA approved microbial ...
Characterization of luminous bacteria as a biosensing element for detection of acrylamide in food.
(2014)
World Health Organization (WHO) has called for further research into acrylamide, a known carcinogen and neurotoxin in animals, following emergency consultations to review data from studies that revealed the presence of ...
Salmonella Newport: Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Analysis
(2014)
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica causes over 99% of human salmonellosis. Salmonella Newport has ranked in the top three Salmonella serotypes associated with foodborne outbreaks in the United States. S. Newport is ...
POTENTIAL LOW TOXICITY CROSSLINKER FOR PROTEIN-BASED NANOPARTICLES
(2015)
Crosslinking is an essential procedure for maintaining the integrity of protein-based nanoparticles, but the application of toxic crosslinkers is usually undesirable. In this study, a tyrosinase-aided crosslinking procedure ...
COMBINED EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES ON DIETARY ANTIOXIDANTS AND FOOD COLORS
(2014)
The breakthroughs in material science have enabled industrialized fabrication and production of nanomaterials. To date, nanoscale materials have been shown to exhibit improved functionalities, providing numerous novel ...
ASSESSMENT OF PREHARVEST MICROBIAL QUALITY OF CANTALOUPES AND PUBLIC HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CANTALOUPES CONTAMINATED WITH LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES
(2014)
Cantaloupe has been recognized as a common vehicle for foodborne infections among fresh produce commodities. A severe multistate outbreak of <italic>Listeria monocytogenes</italic> associated with the consumption of whole ...
Genomic analysis of bacteriophages from non-O157 shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
(2015)
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is the fiercest pathotype among all diarrheic E. coli. STEC O157:H7 has been a predominant serotype for STEC in the United States. However, an increasing number of cases of ...
Evaluating food safety risk of Toxoplasma gondii in meat products consumed in the United States
(2015)
Toxoplasma gondii is one of the leading foodborne pathogens in the United States. The main modes of T. gondii transmission are ingestion of food, soil or water contaminated with oocysts, or eating raw or undercooked meat ...
FOOD PROTEIN-BASED NANOPARTICLES AS BIOAVAILABILITY ENHANCING ENCAPSULANTS
(2015)
Proteins are attractive bioavailability enhancers for poorly absorbed nutraceuticals or drugs, owing to their natural abundance, amphiphilic nature, and desirable biocompatibility. This study systematically investigated ...
