Purpose: Students living in university residence halls often have refrigerators for food storage, and are often living alone and handling food for the first time in their lives. Therefore, an investigation of their safe food storage practices is important to help prevent food-borne illness in this...

Objective: The sampling method of virus on food packaging surfaces was optimized. The virus recovery rate on different material surfaces was studied by simulating different scenes of virus contamination on the surfaces of frozen food packaging materials. Methods: The virus was evenly coated on the...

Some components of plastic food packaging can migrate into food, and whereas migration studies of known components are required and relatively straightforward, identification of nonintentionally added substances (NIAS; unknowns) is challenging yet imperative to better characterizing food safety. To ...

In order to achieve a certain level of food production, it is necessary to manage its quality and safety. Currently, the quality management system based on the principles of HACCP is widely recognized and is the only method for ensuring food security in all developed countries. The ultimate goal of ...

In order to ensure animal health and production performance, veterinary drugs are widely used in animal husbandry. However, the abused and unreasonable use of veterinary drugs leads to the accumulation of the residues of veterinary drugs and their metabolites in animal-derived foods, which causes...

The first volume of this book contains topics on ensuring safety at the farm and at slaughter in beef production systems. Chapters include pathogens affecting beef, methods for detecting pathogens in the beef food chain, food safety management on farms producing beef, ensuring the safety of feed...

Objective: To establish a method for the determination of 33 veterinary drug residues in animal-derived foods by ultra performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS). Methods: The samples were extract with acetonitrile-water (80:20, V:V), and purified by QuEChERS....

Mongolian cheese is not only a requisite source of food for the nomadic Mongolian but also follows a unique Mongolian dairy artisanal method of production, possessing high nutritional value and long shelf-life. In this study, the ancient technique for the production of Mongolian cheese was...

Mozzarella produced with high moisture curd method was filled into a fibrous casing and was stored at 4C and 85% relative humidity for 5 days. Sliced cheese was packed in aerobic packaging (AP), vacuum packaging (VP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and was stored at 4C for 21 days. L*...
