Antibacterial, plasmonic, and toxic properties of engineered nanoparticles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
There has been increasing application of novel nanomaterials in recent years in the area of agriculture and food science. This dissertation aims to study novel nanomaterials and investigate their applications in food safety, and to develop and use...
Application of real-time PCR for detection of antibiotic resistant pathogens and Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) declared seven STEC serogroups O157, O26, O45, O103, O111, O121 and O145 as adulterants in ground beef and beef trims. Multiplex real-time PCR melt curve assays with IAC were...
Novel PCR-based rapid detection strategies for Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in meat products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Accurate and fast detection methods for foodborne pathogens from various food samples have always been important goals for scientists from many research areas. DNA-based PCR techniques cannot differentiate between DNA from ...
Photocatalytic antimicrobial coating for food contact surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Food-borne diseases cause approximately 9.4 million illnesses each year in the United States, while globally, these diseases cause approximately 600 million cases of illness and [approximately] 420,000 deaths. Food contact ...
Simultaneous quantitation of Escherichia coli O157:H7, salmonella and shigella in ground beef by multiplex real-time PCR and immunomagnetic separation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objectives of this study were to establish a real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for simultaneous quantitation of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Shigella that have been implicated in a number ...
Puffing of okara/rice blends using a rice cake machine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Okara is the by-product of soymilk and tofu manufactures. It is cheap and nutritious having great potential to be applied in healthy snack foods. In this study, a puffed soy/rice cake product was developed and consumer ...
Effects of red wine and grape juice against foodborne pathogens and probiotics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Numerous studies have been documented describing the burgeoning health benefits of red wine consumption, including anti-oxidative, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-cardiovascular and antibacterial properties. ...
Green synthesis approach and applications of engineered nanomaterials in food safety
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nowadays, food safety has received more awareness because of increasing foodborne illness outbreaks around the world that involved biological and ...
Development of active food packaging materials incorporated with nanocellulose and investigation of their toxicity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanocellulose is a renewable, lightweight, and biodegradable biomaterial that has potential applications in the food packaging industry. Nanocellulose ...
Transfer of Listera monocytogenes and Escherichia coli 0157:H7 during food processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the study of the transfer of L. monocytogenes from an inoculated slicer to roast beef products, at the high inoculum level of 108 CFU/ml, cells ...
Development of a novel antimicrobial food packaging film containing silver nanoparticles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were incorporated into bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) by a reduction (R) and UV-assisted (UV) methods with the addition of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to prepare an environmentally ...
