Evaluation of Alternative Cooking and Cooling Procedures for Large, Intact Meat Products to Achieve Lethality and Stabilization Microbiological Performance Standards
(2010-01-16)
This study was conducted to determine if alternative heating times and slower
cooling times, other than those defined by FSIS, could be utilized and still comply with
FSIS performance standards. Large (10.43 to 12.25 kg), ...
Effect of sanitizer treatments on Salmonella enterica serotype Poona on the surface of cantaloupe and cell transfer to the internal tissue during cutting practices
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In recent years, due to the increasing number of produce-related outbreaks,
greater attention has been given to interventions that remove human pathogens on fresh
produce. Survival of Salmonella Poona on the surface and ...
Influence of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) and AI-2 inhibitors generated from processed poultry on virulence and growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
(2009-05-15)
Bacteria produce and respond to external stimuli using molecules termed
autoinducers. Poultry meat contains inhibitors which interfere with AI-2
signaling. The primary objective of this work was to understand the effects ...
Modulation of cell yields and genetic responses of Salmonella fermentation and colonization in the gastrointestinal ecology of avian species
(2009-05-15)
In these studies we evaluated specific environmental stimuli relevant to Salmonella virulence and physiology in the gastrointestinal tract of chickens. Results from Salmonella growth in steady state, glucose-limiting ...
Attachment of Salmonella on cantaloupe and effect of electron beam irradiation on quality and safety of sliced cantaloupe
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Increase in consumption of fresh produce over the past decade has resulted in a
rise in incidents of foodborne outbreaks due to pathogens. Chemical sanitizers have been
extensively used in the industry for decontamination ...
A comparison of diagnostic techniques for detecting salmonella spp in equine fecal samples using culture methods, gel-based pcr, and real-time pcr assays
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Salmonellae are enteric bacteria infecting animals and humans. Large animal clinics and Veterinary Teaching Hospitals are greatly affected by Salmonella outbreaks and nosocomial infection. The risk of environmental ...
Validation of Texas beef jerky processing
(2009-06-02)
This study evaluated the thermal drying process commonly used by small and
very small beef jerky operations in Texas. It was intended to determine the impact of
relative humidity on the production of beef jerky and to ...
Efficacy of Feeding Treatments and Litter Formulations Against Shedding of Salmonella in Broilers
(2010-07-14)
Research has shown that Salmonella can be prevalent in poultry litter, which can
be a source of contamination for newly arrived chicks at the poultry house. Since this
organism is a pathogen of concern to the poultry ...
Evaluation of pulse electric fields to reduce foodborne pathogen levels in scalder/chiller water during poultry processing
(2009-05-15)
Poultry slaughtering encompasses a series of processing steps with the objective
of harvesting the consumable meat. The scalding process consists of the submersion of
carcasses in hot water tanks to facilitate the removal ...
Comparison of cecal colonization of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium in white leghorn chicks and Salmonella-resistant mice
(2009-05-15)
Salmonellosis is one of the most important bacterial food borne illnesses
worldwide. Among the many Salmonella serotypes, Typhimurium is the most
commonly implicated serotype in human disease in the United States. A major ...
