This study aimed to explore the effects of different levels (0, 8, and 12 kGy) of low-energy electron beam (LEEB; 0.2 MeV) on the quality and shelf-life of vacuum-packaged pork stored under chilled and superchilled conditions for 30 days. LEEB irradiation promoted lipid and protein oxidation,...

Eight treatments of edible coatings and nets including liquid smoke (SP and 24P) and xanthan gum (XG) were used to evaluate their effectiveness at controlling mite growth on dry-cured hams. Mite growth was controlled (P < 0.05) in both coating and netting treatments of 1% SP + 1% XG. Increasing...

Objective: A droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) method was developed for the rapid quantitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food. Methods: Specific primers and probes for Listeria monocytogenes were screened. The constant value effect of ddPCR method and plate counting...

A rapid method for the determination of benzalkonium bromide, C₁₂-benzalkonium chloride, C₁₄-benzalkonium chloride, C₁₆-benzalkonium chloride, didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulfate in infant milk powder was established using high performance liquid...

To improve the detection sensitivity of neomycin (NEO) in milk, we produced a sensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) against NEO and developed a lateral flow immunoassay based on amorphous carbon nanoparticles (ACNPs-LFA). First, we conjugated NEO to carrier protein to prepare mAbs. We obtained six...

The quality and safety of grains and oils concerns national stability and development, but there are currently many problems with the quality and safety of grains and oils, especially the fact that reliable and efficient data interconnection between heterogeneous systems cannot be guaranteed....

Objective: Screening bio-samples from a food poisoning event based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF MS), and to provide strategies and references for patient treatment as well as the event response. Methods: Vomits, gastric...

A novel electrochemical sensor for bisphenol A (BPA) detection was constructed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with iodine-doped graphene (I-RGO). The I-RGO material was facilely prepared by simultaneous iodine-doping and reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with hydrogen iodide solution. The ...

Globally, food safety has prime importance for the public health and well being of consumers. In Pakistan, high pesticide residues, presence of aflatoxins, heavy metals, and microbial contamination of food are pressing issues of food safety. The current food safety administration in Pakistan lacks...

Melon is susceptible to spoilage microorganisms and contains heat-sensitive flavor. Therefore, an ideal spoilage inhibitor should be used in the production of melon spirits. The effects of dimethyl decarbonate (DMDC) on the changes in microorganisms and volatiles were systematically investigated...
