Abstract:

<p>Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for listeriosis, a food-borne disease, which may result in severe illness and possible death. The importance of L. monocytogenes as a food-borne pathogen has been recognized since the 1980's when a correlation between the cunsumption of contaminated foodstuffs and human listeriosis outbreaks was observed. Listeriosis occurs with the ingestion of contaminated foods. The aim of this study involved developing DNA based methods to aid the food industry for the fast detection of L. monocytogenes in food products. Therefore assays we

Abstract:

Unsafe food is a global concern as it causes significant health risks to a large number of people. It has many and varied short and long-term health impacts such as salmonellosis, shigellosis, typhoid fever and even cancer. Therefore, safe food is the central concern for all stakeholders in the food system from producers to the marketplace to the household where the food is finally consumed. As an end point of the food safety chain, consumers demonstrate various strategies to ensure safe food from purchasing to consumption. Consumers’ food purchasing behaviour is greatly influenced by culture,

Abstract:

The retail food safety chain is vulnerable to deliberate contamination, yet food safety professionals and emergency managers typically respond to intentional contamination in different ways. Little is known about the practices of environmental health food safety professionals (EHFSP) as compared to emergency managers and whether those approaches can be combined to more successfully impede intentional food contamination. The purpose of this narrative policy analysis was to use routine activity theory to compare the narratives of EHFSPs and emergency managers to determine whether there are oppor

Abstract:

During the 1960s-1980s antifouling applications containing the organotin tributyltin (TBT) were applied to craft on the Norfolk Broads, leaving a legacy of contaminants in sediments. Previously, no research had been undertaken to investigate the implications that this legacy may have for the ecological integrity of the Norfolk Broads aquatic ecosystem. Eight sites in the Norfolk Broads that represented a gradient of contamination (as measured by sediment TBT concentrations) were selected. Contamination was evident in invertebrates and fish but was lower than sediments, as total organic carbon

Abstract:

Aflatoxins (AFs) are a group of mycotoxins produced by moulds of Aspergillus genus which contaminate food commodities of tropical and sub-tropical countries.

Examination of 12 commercial, dried Asian foods showed that long grain rice, fragrant rice, peanuts, black beans and black pepper contained Aspergillus spp. which were identified as A. parasiticus (afiatoxigenic), A. versicolor, A. ustus, A.nig

To circumvent this safety issue, existing preservation methods can either affect the sensory properties of these foods or damage their image.
