Abstract:: ... Food-borne pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Campylobacter jejuni, are prophylactically prevented in livestock by using commercially available antibiotics. The European Union has recently banned the use of prophylaxis use of antibiotics in animals since 2006 while urgently considers ways to reduce food-borne pathogens. The objective of this study was to propose a scr ...

Abstract:: ... In this study detoxification of 3 Chinese Cd‐contaminated cultivars (Jinyou463, Yuchi, and Xiangzaoxian 32) of rice was explored. By separation with an alkaline method, Cd concentrations of the starch isolates were decreased from 0.2769, 0.4037, and 0.5156 mg/kg in starting milled rice to 0.1056, 0.1585, and 0.1923 mg/kg, respectively. However, the Cd concentrations reached up to 2.5905, 3.1628, a ...
