Development of Real-Time PCR Method for Detection, Identification and Quantification of Five Different Fusarium Species
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease affecting cereal crops worldwide. FHB involves multiple Fusarium species that create food safety concerns by producing mycotoxins such as trichothecenes, zearalenone and ... -
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 ... -
A Quantitative Cost Model of HACCP Implementation
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Foodbome illness is an important public health problem in the United States. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is widely acknowledged as an effective method to ensure product quality and control foodbome ... -
Analysis of Deoxynivalenol and Deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin produced in cereal grains infected by Fusarium Head Blight produced by Fusarium graminearium and Deoxynivalenol-3-β-D-glucopyranoside (DON-3G), were studied during processing using LC-MS-MS ... -
Does Consumption of Beef from Cattle Administered Growth-Enhancing Technology Trigger Early Estrus in Pre-Pubertal Gilts?
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The objective was to determine if pre-pubertal gilts supplemented ground beef obtained from steers implanted with growth enhancing technology caused precocious puberty. Twenty-four gilts were selected for the same birth ... -
