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 ...
Probiotic-supplemented soy bar effects on resistance to infection by listeria monocytogenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Probiotics are living microorganisms that help regulate the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this project was to investigate the benefits of probiotics and their inhibitory effect on Listeria monocytogenes EGD. Three ...
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 probiotic fortified protein bar
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
and Bifidobacterium longum B6 were selected for use in a split plot design experiment to examine the relationship between the microbial, chemical, and physical analysis and long term bacterial survival in the bars. Temperature and time had significant effects (p=0...
Development of concentration and detection methods for the detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing bacterial pathogens in foods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Currently used conventional methods for detection of bacteria in foods are time consuming and labor intensive. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for a robust, rapid, and cost-effective method for the detection of ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Survival of freeze-dried probiotics in soy protein powder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A series of well diffusion assays determined that Bifidobacterium longum B6 (B6) and Lactobacillus paracasei ATCC 25598 (LP) best inhibited pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria were freeze-dried in the presence of sucrose, ...
Development of antimicrobial composite materials for food packaging applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Due to increasing environmental concerns regarding plastic waste, the development of composite film materials from biodegradable polymers and natural food additives is gaining more attention. Over the last few decades, the ...
