Antimicrobial Testing and Sensory Evaluation of Clitocybe nuda Mushroom Extract in Liquid Whole Egg
(2015-01-09)
The use of antimicrobial agents in the food industry is critical for the reduction and control of foodborne pathogens as part of food safety programs. The food industry is looking for new naturally occurring agents with ...
Optimization of Enrichment Protocol for Campylobacter Detection
(2014-10-30)
Poultry meat represents the primary source of Campylobacter-associated foodborne illness. The current methods set forth by USDA-FSIS for qualitative detection of Campylobacter from poultry involve selective enrichment to ...
The Effect of Post-chill Antimicrobials on Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shelf-life and Quality Attributes of Ground Chicken
(2013-07-10)
Ground chicken is more likely to have higher microbiological loads than whole carcasses and parts. Therefore, it is necessary to identify antimicrobials that reduce pathogens and overall microbial loads without negatively ...
Evaluation of Subtyping Methods for the Characterization of Campylobacter Strains from Different Geographical Areas
(2009-02-23)
Bacterial foodborne diseases are a common cause of lost productivity for industrially developed nations. In developing nations, these illnesses can be deadly for the young, elderly, and immunocompromised. The ability to ...
Effect of Different Atmospheres for Isolation, Molecular Characterization, Pathogenicity Gene Screening, and Control of Campylobacter spp. from Processed Broiler Meat
(2009-05-04)
Our first experiments involved the studies of the effects of Oxyrase®, an enzyme based membrane system that selectively reduces oxygen from the medium, during the growth and isolation of Campylobacter spp. The effect of ...
Complexed Trace Mineral Supplementation of Broiler Diets
(2008-09-09)
Series of experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Zn and Mn complexes (C-Zn and C-Mn) on live performance, carcass, skin quality, and meat quality of male broilers. The first experiment evaluated the effects ...
Validation of Cooking Methods Using Shell Eggs Inoculated with Salmonella Serotypes Enteritidis and Heidelberg
(2008-09-09)
Salmonella Enteritidis has been associated with eggs and egg products for a long time. However, Salmonella Heidelberg is now also being associated with eggs and egg products. Experiments were therefore done to determine ...
Microbial Analysis of Shelled Eggs and Chemical and Functional Analysis of Liquid Eggs
(2008-09-09)
Research has shown that the incidence of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in commercially processed table eggs is approximately 1 in 20,000. Although there has been great evolution of the egg industry, cases of SE infection ...
The Development and Application of Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Avian Reoviruses
(2009-02-23)
We developed a TaqMan probe based real-time RT-PCR for qualitative and quantitative detection of avian reoviruses (ARVs). The primer-probe set was designed from the conserved region of ARV S4 genome segment. ARV strains ...
The Development of Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Campylobacter jejuni
(2009-02-23)
Campylobacter jejuni (and related species) has been recognized as the most common pathogen that causes human bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. It is the major cause of food-borne illnesses in the developed countries. ...
