Food Safety & Storage

Graphene is the "new star" material for electrochemical sensing. It has unique mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, in addition to its ultra light weight. In the present work we combine for the first time the special features offered by graphene and the advantages of ion selective...

High-performance measurement of methyl parathion (MP) is of great importance in both agricultural and environmental surveillance. Herein, we presented a facile fluorescent biosensor to indirectly measure MP using N-doped carbon dots (N-CDS) based on the inner filter effect (IFE). Methyl parathion...

Streptomycetes are the largest taxon of antibiotic producers in the microbial world. Nevertheless, they are less studied than other biocontrol agents against Fusarium diseases and, perhaps, plant diseases in general. Plant diseases incited by Fusarium species are notably challenging. Four species...

A description is provided for Arthrinium sporophleum, which is found on dead attached or fallen often rather dry leaves, stems, straw, stubble. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of...

Several states in the US and Canada are investigating an outbreak of Shiga toxin producing E. coli O157:H7 infections linked to Romaine lettuce from...

Food contamination with Bacillus cereus originates either directly from the soil or from contaminated equipment (Guinebretiere and Nguyen-The, 2003;...

Until 2012, egg production in Croatia was mostly in cages, which was not in accordance with the European Union standards on the welfare of laying hens. Therefore, producers of table eggs could not continue their current practice and had to use those systems permitted in the EU member countries,...
