Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric cold plasma process for vegetable leaf decontamination: A feasibility study on radicchio (red chicory, Cichorium intybus L.)

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of an atmospheric cold plasma apparatus (air DBD, 15kV) on the safety, antioxidant activity and quality of radicchio (red chicory, Cichorium intybus L) was investigated after 15 and 30min of treatment (in afterglow at 70mm from the discharge, at 22 °C and 60% of RH) and during storage Escherichia coli O157:H7 inoculated on radicichio leaves was significantly reduced after 15min cold plasma treatment (−135 log MPN/cm 2 )
Journal ArticleDOI

Sanitisation of fresh-cut celery and radicchio by gas plasma treatments in water medium

TL;DR: In this article, the antimicrobial efficacy of dielectric barrier discharge atmospheric gas plasma (DBD) was tested against Listeria monocytogenes and shigatoxin-producing Escherichia coli serogroups O157 and O26.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in bovine dairy herds in Northern Italy

TL;DR: Concern arise for the presence of E. coli O157 isolates that are suspected to be an EHEC-derivative in the milk filters sampled in farms that are used to sell raw milk to consumers and in other dairy farms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enumeration of verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) O157 and O26 in milk by quantitative PCR.

TL;DR: The qPCR method is less laborious and faster than the standard MPN method and has been shown to be a good technique for quantifying VTEC in milk.
