Effectiveness of Unripe Plantain Peel on Tenderization of Beef and Okra as a Potential Substitute for Saltpeter

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research seeks to examine the effect of unripe plantain peel ash and its filtrate on the tenderness of beef and okra as a potential substitute for saltpeter. Using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, important elemental particles were estimated while the texture profile of treated okra and beef was assessed using the TA‐XT Plus Micro ...

Infrared‐Treated Diced Dehydrated Onion: Microbiological Shelf Life and Quality Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Blanched, dehydrated, and infrared‐treated diced onions were stored at 25°C, 30°C, and 37°C under 75% humidity. Changes in microbial and quality attributes were studied during the microbiological storage period. ABSTRACT Onion dehydration has been associated with surface contamination.

Heavy Metal Bioaccumulation in Solanum torvum (Sw.) (Turkey Berry) From the Bono and Ahafo Regions: Nutritional Potential and Toxicological Risks

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal contamination of agricultural soils and subsequent bioaccumulation in food crops poses significant public health concerns, particularly in mining regions. This study investigated heavy metal concentrations in turkey berry (Solanum torvum) fruits and associated soils from three locations in Ghana's mining belt, evaluated soil ...

Pathogenic Escherichia coli Virulome in Top Soil Improvers and Irrigation Waters Devoted to Leafy Vegetable Production: Hazard Assessment From a Case Study in Italy

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Escherichia coli pathotype virulotyping to assess if combined top soil improver and water inputs would potentially lead to hybrid strains with shuffled virulence features in ready‐to‐eat vegetables. This is to support the transition toward safe and sustainable food production systems.

Vertebrate Hosts as Islands: Dynamics of Selection, Immigration, Loss, Persistence, and Potential Function of Bacteria on Salamander Skin. [PDF]

, 2016
Skin bacterial communities can protect amphibians from a fungal pathogen; however, little is known about how these communities are maintained. We used a neutral model of community ecology to identify bacteria that are maintained on salamanders by ...
