Detection of engineered nanoparticles by SERS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)There has been increasing number of consumer and food products sold on the market that contain various engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These nanomaterials ... -
Detection of food contaminants by SERS and nanopore technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] With growing consumption of aquaculture products, there is increasing demand on rapid and sensitive techniques that can detect prohibited substances ... -
Effects of low molecular weight compounds on growth, virulence gene expression and cytotoxic activity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections are clinically associated with hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), ... -
Physical characterization and antimicrobial properties of PVA-cellulose nanofiber based films
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Hybrid biopolymer-based composite films made up of 5% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 2.3% cellulose nano fibers (CNFs) and 1% chitosan, 4% glycerol and 0.5% cinnamon or clove essential oils (EOs) were prepared via a solution ... -
Prevention of biofilm formation on food contact surfaces by nanoscale plasma coating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Microbial biofilm formation can lead to a series of important safety problems in food industry because, once formed, the microbial cells are much harder to remove compared to plankton cells and can lead to circulating ...
