Ramos, Patrícia B.Z. R. Sá, Ana Paula M. Pereira, Deborah A. Conceição, Adriano G. Cruz, Verônica O. Alvarenga, Anderson S. Sant’Ana
Predictive models were developed to assess the growth response of in “” processed cheese, as affected by pH and sodium chloride and nisin concentrations. A complete factorial design was performed using different formulations: pH (5.2, 5.6, and 6.0), sodium chloride (0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5%), and nisin (0.0, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 and 12.5 mg/kg), totalizing 75 conditions. Packs with 150 g of “” were

Bacteriophage-assisted lysis and eluted genomic DNA-based detection of pathogenic bacterial contamination in food Food Control (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Se-Min Kim, Eo-Jin Kim, Eun-Jin Jang, Tai-Yong Kim, Hye-Min Park, Min-Ah Woo, Min-Cheol Lim, Jeong-A Lim
Foodborne diseases represent a significant global health concern, with a substantial number of illnesses and fatalities reported annually owing to the consumption of contaminated food. Current methods for identifying foodborne pathogens cannot effectively distinguish live from dead bacteria or efficiently detect multiple targets. Therefore, we developed a selective detection method for three pathogenic
