TL;DR: Self-assembly of Tween 80 micelles loaded with plant-based oregano essential oil and trans-cinnamaldehyde revealed that the encapsulation of OR and TCA within micells crucially improved their antibacterial activity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that solute concentration should be used instead of a(w), both for kinetic models in the growth region and for growth/no growth interface models, if the transferability of models to solid foods is to be increased.

TL;DR: The research presented in this paper analyses a newly developed experimental protocol for isolating single cells by constructing a simulation model of the process, and builds a cell clumping algorithm built into the simulation model to fully account for cell aggregation in the dilution process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography-UV (HPLC-UV) method, based on the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC) Official method 2000.02, was developed and validated for the high-throughput analysis of patulin in in vitro experiments on APAM.

TL;DR: Overall, the present study shows that data on growth and inactivation of broths are indicative but may underestimate as well as overestimate behavior of pathogens and thus need confirmation in food matrix conditions to assess food safety in reasonably foreseen abusive conditions of storage and usual home pan-frying of meat burgers in Belgium.
