A $2 million gift from Sam and Carol Nappi to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) will support expanded research into the cause of algal blooms - both harmful (HAB) and non-toxic - can impact recreation, aesthetics, and human health on Skaneateles Lake and its watershed as a living laboratory.
Thousands of hectares of Chornobyl-affected farmland, long deemed too dangerous for cultivation in northern Ukraine can safely return to production, according to new research.
The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter referred to as KIMM) has developed a compact, rapid pretreatment system capable of liquefying and homogenizing solid biological samples in under one minute. This innovation simplifies the analysis of specimens that are traditionally difficult to process, offering a new diagnostic platform that complements the predominantly liquid-based landscape of in vitro diagnostics (IVD).
A new method using glycan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (gMNPs) is poised to change the way we detect foodborne pathogens like Escherichia coli and Salmonella in complex food matrices such as melons, lettuce, and raw chicken. Unlike traditional methods that rely on expensive antibodies or lengthy enrichment processes, this innovation offers a rapid detection system that extracts and confirms pathogens through qPCR in less than four hours. The gMNPs bind efficiently to pathogens, even in the presence of natural microbiota, across a wide range of pH levels and food matrices. At just $0.50 per test and without the need for cold storage, this approach has the potential to significantly reduce the global burden of foodborne illnesses.
A lecturer from the Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, recommends utilizing food production technology to develop 鈥渇ood as medicine鈥� products derived from Thai herbs, vegetables, an...
From its source nestled high in the Rocky Mountains to where it meets the South Platte River just east of Greeley, the Cache la Poudre River flows down 6,155 ft. in elevation, across 126 miles of Colorado countryside and provides an average of 89 billion gallons of water annually鈥攊ncluding drinking water for more than 400,000 residents in northern Colorado.
In the corner of a lab room in Candelaria Hall is a handheld tool that looks similar to a barcode scanner grocery store clerks use at the checkout line.
Health impact for food dye
Do you know what's in your water? Yuxin Wang from Binghamton University, State University of New York studies contaminants in water called PFAS, more commonly known as "forever chemicals."
A new study has raised alarms over the potential health risks of recycled paper food contact materials (FCMs), showing that they can release dangerous levels of toxic metals鈥攊ncluding lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum鈥攊nto food. The research highlights the urgent need for updated regulations and improved testing methods to safeguard public health. Researchers found that acidic food simulants, such as vinegar, extracted metals in quantities that frequently surpassed safety limits, urging greater oversight in food packaging standards.
A new study from researchers in the at Washington University in St. Louis reveals the impact of what might may be precursors to harmful contaminants in drinking water, formed during water disinfection.
To investigate how private vs. public water systems affect water quality and equal access to safe, clean water, researchers mapped the distribution of water system ownership, water system violations, and water injustice nationwide. Their findings are published in the journal Risk Analysis.
Increasingly, individual U.S. states issue their own regulations about food manufacturing practices, allowable ingredients, or product labeling. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign examines the various ways manufacturers respond to state regulations and what drives their choices.
Imagine editing the bacteria in your gut the same way scientists edit DNA, targeted, precise, and powerful. That鈥檚 exactly what Dr. Carlotta Ronda, a Principal Investigator at the Innovative Genomics Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, is working on.
Join us June 10-11 for science-driven sessions on food safety, nutrition, GLP-1s and more.
Whether you buy rice at the grocery store or order a side of it while dining out, do you prefer brown rice or white rice? Or do you exclusively choose brown rice over white rice because you want to eat healthier, as brown rice contains more nutrients and fiber? Well, the answer to this question is not as simple as you might have thought, as it ignores a potential food safety concern.
America鈥檚 infrastructure is cracking, according to the latest report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers. In multiple categories, from aviation to roads to energy, the country鈥檚 infrastructure is earning Ds, almost-failing grades. Virginia Tech engineering experts can break down what these failing grades mean 鈥� and what needs to happen to rebuild to make our communities safer and better prepared for the future.
he April issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology highlights new clinical science and reviews, including the gluten-free diet and exposure to arsenic, internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy for irritable bowel syndrome, a new guideline on gastric premalignant conditions, and multi-society consensus recommendations on bowel preparation.
