One hundred powdered infant formulae (PIF), representative of the 10 leading brands available in Ireland, were subjected to a variety of preparation and storage conditions. All PIF analyzed immediately after reconstitution were ...

The purpose of this timely review is to critically appraise and to assess the potential significance of best-published microbial inactivation kinetic data generated by pulsed light (PL). The importance of selecting different ...

Pollution of European receiving waters with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), such as with 17-beta-estradiol (a natural estrogenic hormone, E2), along with pharmaceutically-active compounds diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory ...

One third of parasitic outbreaks with known source in the US are attributable to food of animal origin (FoAO). Among 24 foodborne parasites ranked by FAO/WHO, 14 are associated with FoAO. Management of these biological ...

This constitutes the first study to report on the relationship between pulsed UV light (PL) irradiation and the simultaneous occurrence of molecular and cellular damage in clinical strains of Candida albicans. Microbial ...

This constitutes the first study to address occurrence and geodatabase mapping of the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCL) and the natural (17-beta-estradiol or E2) and synthetic (17-alpha-ethynylestradiol or EE2) ...

The need to use complex in vitro cell culture, expensive equipment and highly-trained technicians that are available only to specialist laboratories has significantly limited studies assessing the potential of pulsed UV ...

A pulsed-plasma gas-discharge (PPGD) system was developed for the novel decontamination of chilled poultry washwater. Treatment of poultry wash water in the plasma generation chamber for up to 24 s at 4C reduced Escherichia ...

Background – Despite verbose amount of publications and having gained approval by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1996 for food-surface disinfection applications, pulsed light (PL) still has not been used on a ...

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that has the potential to impact on all aspects of life and the economy and is expected to form the basis of several technological innovations and advances in the 21st century. ...
