Thermophilic Organisms in Food Spoilage: Sulfide Spoilage Anaerobes

Journal of Food Protection, 1981
The history of sulfide spoilage in canned foods is traced from its earliest reported occurrence in an Iowa cannery in 1919 through several outbreaks in the midwest and east in 1945. The taxonomy of the causative organism, beginning with the name, Clostridium nigrificans , proposed by Werkman and Weaver in 1927, and ending with Desulfotomaculum ...

Does a Specialized Niche Market Vegetable Processor Enjoy Bargaining Power?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agribusiness companies may achieve competitive advantage through specialization within niche markets. One such niche is the fresh‐cut fruit and vegetable market, which has been steadily growing in Germany. This study examines whether the specialization of a German fresh‐cut producer grants it with market power within this niche market.

Vertical Price Transmission in Food Markets: New Evidence From Meta‐Analysis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing body of empirical research has examined price dynamics along the food supply chain, yet findings remain heterogeneous and often conflicting. This study conducts a meta‐analysis of 140 studies, totaling 652 observations, to examine (1) the reported presence of asymmetric price transmission and (2) the reported direction of price ...
