Leafy vegetables are a well-recognized source of minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber. The demand of fresh produce has increased markedly in the last years. Survival and growth of foodborne pathogens on leafy vegetables and internalization of cells are threat to the health of consumers. Detection...

Sorbic acid nanoparticles (SAN), an edible coating made from chitosan, sorbic acid and sodium tripolyphosphate by ionic gelation process, were investigated for their antimicrobial and antioxidant effects on chilled pork in comparison with chitosan nanoparticles, potassium sorbate and blank control. ...

The development and application of sensor detection technology based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) have been a hot topic of research in recent years. Being characterized by convenience, high efficiency, high sensitivity, low cost and good repeatability, this detection technology holds...

Fresh and fresh-cut produce is frequently found to be associated with outbreaks of foodborne diseases. Contamination can occur in the field and during postharvest handling. Therefore, there is a need to develop intervention technologies and antimicrobial treatments to ensure the microbial safety of ...

To analyze the feasibility in detection of aerobic plate count in food by applying paper plate method. Methods: The total number of colonies of the prepared bacterial suspensions, natural contaminated food samples and artificial contaminated food samples were tested by paper plate method and...

Highly sensitive detection of trace pesticide residues in food products is needed. The terahertz metamaterial (THz MM) is one of the most important detection approaches with high sensitivity by enhancing the interaction between light and matter. In this work, single and double U-shape resonator THz ...

An analytical procedure for the analysis of 10 β-adrenergic agonists (cimaterol, terbutaline, salbutamol, isoxsuprine, ractopamine, cimbuterol, clenbuterol, brombuterol, mabuterol and mapenterol) in pork meat was developed and validated using LC-MS/MS. An automated dispersive pipette extraction...

Food safety issues are a worldwide concern. Pathogens, toxins, pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, and illegal additives are frequently reported to contaminate food and pose a serious threat to human health. Conventional detection methods have difficulties fulfilling the requirements for...

In this work, ultrathin magnetic nitrogen doped graphene tube (mNi@N-GrT) is synthetized via a template free graphitization process. The mNi@N-GrT as magnetic solid phase extraction adsorbent is used to extract three tetracyclines (TCs), showing the best extraction ability and adsorption capacity...

Preservatives in processed meat raise significant concerns associated with bowel cancer and diabetes, and implicate various public health issues. This introduces the need for safer preservatives to uphold public health standards. However, developing safer alternatives to these preservatives poses a ...
