TL;DR: The importance of a technological Internet-of-Things approach is emphasized, given the fact it is key in facilitating the information exchange between items in the cold chain, RF technologies and WSN can interconnect the data and those items, and make them accessible in databases associating hardware and software.

TL;DR: In this article, the antibacterial activity and mechanism of e-Poly-lysine (e-PL) at the molecular level against Listeria monocytogenes were investigated.

TL;DR: A review of the cases and effects of adulteration in the herb and spice industry, and analytical methods being used to detect it and ultimately prevent it can be found in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, Chinese wild blueberries were studied for the inhibition of the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

TL;DR: Chromatographic methods in combination with chemometrics are usually developed and applied throughout the food chain to verify the nature or origin of food, with both targeted (metabolomics) and non-targeted (profiling) approaches.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extracted polyphenols from winery by-products of two Portuguese red grape varieties, Touriga Nacional and Preto Martinho, and evaluated their phenolic profile, antioxidant properties and antimicrobial activity against antibiotic resistant bacteria.

TL;DR: In this article, a plasma-activated water (PAW) ice was proposed for the preservation of fresh shrimps, which showed significant advantage for inhibition of microbial growth, extending the storage time by 4-8 days.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro activity of silver (Ag), zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles against Salmonella and Campylobacter isolated from poultry.

TL;DR: The combined used of spectroscopic methods and linear discriminant analysis has provided powerful tools for detecting food fraud and their operational details, advantages and disadvantages are discussed.

TL;DR: This review provides a detailed overview of the recent efforts devoted to HSI and MSI technologies for evaluating the quality and safety of different meat products and the probability of its widespread application.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the inhibitory effect of spices on the formation of carcinogens in processed meats, including heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

TL;DR: In this paper, the SSAFE food fraud vulnerability assessment tool was used to evaluate the vulnerability of various supply chains to food fraud, and the differences and similarities in vulnerabilities across the supply chains, as well as between groups of chain actors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed procedures allowing for authentication of rape (Brassica) honey by chemometrics and spectroscopy, using the FTIR-ATR spectrum of rape pollen as a reference to determine the rape pollen content within the investigate rape honey samples.

TL;DR: The most promising methods for the development of a portable test kit for honey adulterant detection are ELISA, electronic tongue, and NIR, the most sensitive and accurate method.

TL;DR: Hydrosols use in the agro-food industry to hamper the development of pathogenic and spoiling microorganisms in food products and in working environments, and also in removing microbial biofilm could be exploited to counteract the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance.

TL;DR: Investigation of the presence of pesticides in nationally produced fruits and vegetables for domestic consumption in Argentina found the percentage of samples above the MLR is 4 times lower than the findings, and 7 times lower for exported products.

TL;DR: A new active packaging film of bilayer structure based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) incorporated with rosemary essential oil (REO) and cinnamon essential oil in the inner layer has been designed and developed for preserving shrimp.

TL;DR: In this article, a review on pathogenic prevalence of ready-to-eat vegetable salads in developing countries and technological advances used to counter these pathogens is presented. But, the authors do not consider the food-borne disease linked to these salads poses safety threats.

TL;DR: It is revealed that PLA was effective in inactivating planktonic and biofilm (or biofilm-associated) E. cloacae cells mainly by the mechanisms of cell membrane damage and leakage of the intracellular components.

TL;DR: Based on the survey of vegetable farmers in Jiangsu, Shandong and Anhui Provinces, this paper investigated the influential factors of the premium perception associated with the quality and safety of agricultural products.

TL;DR: The results of the study show that the majority of the mislabelings are with cheaper fish, such as the presence of Pangasius commonly substituting other species, being labeled as more expensive ones, suggesting economic motivation for mislabelling.

TL;DR: A signal amplified lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on gold nanoparticles (GNPs) growth and accumulation for rapid detection of Salmonella Enteritidis (S.Enteritidis) was developed in this paper.

TL;DR: e-Polylysine-loaded chitosan-sodium alginate nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized in terms of particle size distribution, surface morphology, thermal properties and structure, respectively, and their antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus was studied.
