- Abstract:
- ... This study investigated the prevalence, type and accuracy of allergen labeling information on 429 imported pre-packaged food products imported from Mainland China sold in Sydney, Australia. Overall, 93.5% of the products complied to the FSANZ's Food Standards Code and included English labels. The 73% of the surveyed products complied with Australian mandatory allergen labeling requirements and sta ...

- Abstract:
- ... Acrylamide is a processing contaminant with genotoxic and carcinogenic properties. It is formed in food when free asparagine reacts with reducing sugars at high temperatures. This study evaluated the levels of acrylamide in three commercial important heat-processed foods: roasted coffee powder (n = 30), potato chips (n = 30), and French fries (n = 30) marketed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Acrylamide ...

Ultraviolet and visible (UV–Visible) spectroscopy in conjunction with chemometrics modelling, was successfully applied to objectively differentiate grape juice press fractions (Vitis vinifera, cultivar Pinot Noir) for sparkling wine production. Two measurements modes were applied: (i) reflectance using a fiber optic probe in-line and (ii) transmission using a benchtop spectrophotometer. Different ...

- Abstract:
- ... Ochratoxin A (OTA), is one of the most commonly found mycotoxins in food. It is primarily produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum. OTA can causes serious damages to liver and kidney, increases the teratogenicity, and has been considered as a potential carcinogen (group 2 B). In this study, we demonstrated a new detection system for the detection of OTA using fluorescence biose ...

- Abstract:
- ... Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen, which is associated with high hospitalization and case-fatality rates. Outbreaks due to food contaminated with this pathogen continue to occur globally. In terms of risk management, major food trade associations have come together in a non-competitive manner to develop excellent guidance documents on the control of this pathogen. In additi ...

Ambient mass spectrometry is a tool of growing interest for the testing of foodstuffs over the fifteen years since the pioneering techniques of desorption electro-spray ionisation (DESI), direct analysis in real time (DART) and atmospheric pressure solid analysis probe (ASAP) were first demonstrated. In this study, rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) was compared with DART to as ...

- Abstract:
- ... Trichiurus lepturus is a marine ribbonfish found in both tropical and temperate coastal areas. High consumer demand has prompted the food industry to increase the production of ribbonfish. Apart from production on a large scale, extending the shelf life and preserving the freshness have become increasingly important concerns. The present study investigated the possibility of enhancing the shelf li ...

A rapid, reliable, and cheap method of testing for the most important regulated mycotoxins would be useful and time saving. This study aimed to evaluate the potential use of an electronic nose (e-nose) for rapid identification of mycotoxin contamination above legal limits in maize samples. A total of 316 maize samples wer ...

- Abstract:
- ... Food safety management criteria are often described in general terms rather than specific actions and potentially introduces subjectivity to interpretation and implementation. In the tree fruit sector, management systems would be more useful if developed with specific reference to production and processing practices used. There is insufficient evidence that requirements for the Australian tree fru ...
