Fate of Deoxynivalenol and Deoxynivalenol-3-Glucoside during the Malting Process
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Deoxynivalenol (DON) is commonly found on small grains and causes food safety issues. Deoxynivalenol-3-Glucoside (DON-3-G) is a conjugate, formed as a defense response by the host plant. Past studies have shown both to be ... -
Food Safety Culture: An Underlying Cause for Success and Failures of Food Safety Management Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Food Safety Culture (FSC) is an emerging behavior-based food-safety management concept. FSC has been linked as an underlying cause for food-safety management-system failures during foodborne outbreaks and recall investigations. ... -
Foreign Material Identification and Removal in the Food Safety Industry
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Changes in the food industry including the mass production in response to the globalization of the food chain have led to additional food safety and quality challenges for the food industry. One aspect of these challenges ... -
Growth of Fusarium graminearum and Production of Trichothecenes During the Malting of Winter Rye and Triticale
(North Dakota State University, 2019)There is growing interest in malting and brewing with rye. However, previous research has shown a propensity for the development of deoxynivalenol (DON) in rye malts, even when levels on the grain is low. The main objective ... -
High Pressure Processing and Nisin as Possible Nonthermal Treatments for Control of Listeria and Impact on Quality Attributes in Cold Smoked Pacific Sockeye Salmon
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Cold smoked salmon products are considered high risk for Listeria monocytogenes contamination by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to lack of validated kill step. Currently, there are no commercialized post-packaging ... -
The Impact of Bacterial Spoilage and Foodborne Pathogens on Beef Industry and Application of Antimicrobial Interventions
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The beef industry continues to face concerns regarding the hygiene and the safety of its products. A wide range of microorganisms from various sources can grow on meat surfaces that are rich in fluid and nutrients. This ... -
An In-vitro Co-Culture Model to Study the Disruption of the Blood Brain Barrier by Cronobacter sakazakii. (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii)
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Cronobacter spp. (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) is an opportunistic pathogen associated with contaminated powdered infant formula. It causes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis, which can develop into severe ... -
Listeria Monocytogenes in the Retail Food Service Environment
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Listeria monocytogenes is one of the biggest microbial concerns affecting today’s food industry. It is a ubiquitous liability with a high mortality rate, unique characteristics of growth and survival in many environmental ... -
Occurrence of Salmonella and Listeria Monocytogenes in Ready to Eat Meats in the United States: 2000-2010
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The purpose of this review is to characterize the occurrence of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes in ready to eat (RTE) meats in the United States between the years 2000-2010. Data were obtained from the CDC foodborne ... -
The Occurrence of Shiga-Toxin Producing Escherichia Coli (Stec) and Salmonella Species in Cattle Feedlot Runoff
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Zoonotic foodborne pathogens such as shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Salmonella on farm environments can potentially contaminate organic manure or agricultural watersheds and subsequently fresh produce ... -
Ochratoxin A and Ochratoxigenic Fungi in Freshly Harvested and Stored Barley and Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxin produced both prior to harvest and during storage by Penicillium and Aspergillus species in a variety of commodities. Although several studies have been conducted in Europe and Canada examining ... -
Presence of Escherichia Coli and Salmonella Enterica on Wheat and Possible Control Measures
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the most important cereal crops grown in the U.S., with an average of 50 million acres planted on an annual basis. Wheat is milled into flour or semolina, which is used to make bread, cookies, ... -
Proteomic and Molecular Analysis of Methicillin Resistance and Selected Toxigenic genes in Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp From Food and Animal Sources.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)While most coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) are apathogenic, recent evidence suggests some food and animal derived CNS isolates may carry and express virulence factors including classical enterotoxins, toxic shock ... -
