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 ... -
Antimicrobial Resistance and Presence of Integrons in Salmonella Isolated from Animals and Humans in the United States of America and Uganda
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Salmonella has been cited as one of the leading causes of food borne illness world wide and in the United States (US), as well as an indicator organism for studying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends. The objective ... -
Assessing Microbial Stability and Quality of Green Beans Using Various Home Canning Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Today many consumers follow processing methods recommended either from family members or the internet, which they interpret as being safe. Processing temperature profiles, survival of B. stearothermophilus spores, texture, ... -
Compensation for the Effectiveness of Risk Mitigation Strategies for Fusarium Head Blight(FHB) and Deoxynivalenol(DON)
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Food safety related problems are one of the biggest challenges worldwide. DON is produced by Fusarium species which causes the well-known Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat and barley. FHB outbreaks have led to variability ... -
Detection and Molecular Typing of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus aureus, and the serotype (ST) 398 have been associated with human and livestock infections, being also detected in retail meat. The aim of this study ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Escherichia Coli in Bovine Calf Scours
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Scours is caused by inflammation of the intestinal tract of ruminants leading to significant mortality and morbidity rates. It is predominately found in neonatal ruminants where the disease can occur 36 hours after birth. ... -
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 ... -
