Overuse of antimicrobials in food animals has contributed to the emergence and development of antimicrobial resistance in human pathogens, which can compromise our ability to treat infectious diseases. An effective surveillance program for monitoring antimicrobial resistance and…
Sliced, ham and all-pork frankfurters were irradiated at 1.6 kGy and evaluated for color, lipid oxidation, odor, flavor, and the production of volatiles over an 8-week storage period. Irradiation processing did not affect color or lipid oxidation values for the ham or frankfurte…
Commercially available ham and pork frankfurters were irradiated at 1.6 kGy and evaluated for color, lipid oxidation, odor, flavor and the production of volatiles over 8 weeks of storage. Corned beef, roast beef, beef frankfurters, chicken roll, chicken frankfurters, turkey roll…
Presence of Listeria monocytogenes strains endemic to food processing environments is presumably related to biofilm formation. Following exposure to various environmental stresses, Listeria cells may be more prone to attach to surfaces. Due to concerns regarding the potential im…
