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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Quantitative Analysis for Measuring Lower Levels of Fusarium Mycotoxins in Wheat and Barley Using High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
(North Dakota State University, 2020)This project involved the application of Quadrupole Time of Flight (QTOF) technology in quantitating the low concentrations of multiple Fusarium mycotoxins in barley and wheat, also focused on simplified sample extraction ... -
Relatedness ofisolates of a Novel Genus, Cronobacter, Formerly Known as Enterobacter sakazakii
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Members of the genus Cronobacter were once classified as Enterobacter sakazakii. These bacteria are opportunistic pathogens that are associated with necrotizing enteritis, sepsis and meningitis in neonatal or low-birth-weight ... -
Strategies to Inhibit the Formation of 3-Monochloropropane Diol During Deep-Fat Frying
(North Dakota State University, 2020)3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol or 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) and glycidol are the most commonly occurring group of thermal process contaminants which are considered as “possible human carcinogen” and “probably ... -
The Use of Communication Strategies to Influence Stakeholders to Implement Food Safety Management Systems in Small Custom-Exempt Meal Plants
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This exploratory study used interviews to understand the culture and communication patterns of the stakeholders, employers, and employees. Interviews revealed that the topic of Food Safety was a very sensitive one as many ... -
Wheat Dockage Content: Analysis of Dockage and Its Relation to Fusarium Head Blight
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Hard red spring wheat crop grown in different locations in the US were surveyed for the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). DON is often found in wheat that is infected with the plant fungal disease Fusarium head blight. The ...
