    Abstract Global production of dried fruits has increased significantly in the past decade. Both the increased consumer acceptance of nutritious packaged food and the broad use of dried fruits in products such as confectionery and bakery goods have fueled the dried fruit demand. Unfortunately, outbreaks and recalls due to contamination by pathogenic bacteria and viruses as well as the detection of mycotoxins highlight the need for optimizing current approaches, and evaluating and adopting newer interventions to protect the microbial and chemical safety of dried fruits. Drying processes alone are inadequate to control these hazards. Pre- and post-drying treatments serve as promising opportunities, with or without combination with the drying step, to achieve the goals of efficient hazard control.

    Abstract Although tremendous efforts have been made to ensure fresh produce safety, various foodborne outbreaks and recalls occur annually. Most of the current intervention strategies are evaluated within a short timeframe (less than 1 h), leaving the behavior of the remaining pathogens unknown during subsequent storages. This review summarized outbreak and recall surveillance data from 2009 to 2018 obtained from government agencies in the United States to identify major safety concerns associated with fresh produce, discussed the postharvest handling of fresh produce and the limitations of current antimicrobial interventions, and reviewed the intervention strategies that have the potential to be applied in each storage stage at the commercial scale. One long-term (up to 12 months) prepacking storage (apples, pears, citrus among others) and three short-term (up to 3 months) postpacking storages were identified. During the prepacking storage, continuous application of gaseous ozone at low doses (≤1 ppm) is a feasible option. Proper concentration, adequate circulation, as well as excess gas destruction and ventilation systems are essential to commercial application. At the postpacking storage stages, continuous inhibition can be achieved through controlled release of gaseous chlorine dioxide in packaging, antimicrobial edible coatings, and biocontrol agents. During commercialization, factors that need to be taken into consideration include physicochemical properties of antimicrobials, impacts on fresh produce quality and sensory attributes, recontamination and cross-contamination, cost, and feasibility of large-scale production. To improve fresh produce safety and quality during storage, the collaboration between researchers and the fresh produce industry needs to be improved.

    Abstract After finishing waxes are applied, citrus fruits are typically dried at 32-60°C for 2-3 min before final packing. The survival of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354 was evaluated under laboratory conditions on lemons after applying one of four finishing waxes (F4, F6, F8, and F15) followed by an ambient hold or heated (50 or 60°C) drying step. The reduction of inoculated microorganisms during drying was significantly influenced by wax type and temperature, with greater reductions at higher temperatures. Greater reductions after waxing and drying at 60°C were observed with L. monocytogenes (2.84-4.44 log) than with Salmonella (1.65-3.67 log), and with Salmonella than with E. faecium (0.99-2.93 log). The survival of Salmonella inoculated at 5.8-5.9 log/fruit on lemons and oranges after applying wax F6 and drying at 60°C was evaluated during storage at 4 and 22°C. The reductions of Salmonella after waxing and drying were 1.7 log; additional reductions during storage at 4 or 22°C were 1.40-1.43 or 0.18-0.29 log, respectively, on waxed lemons, and 0.56-1.02 or 0.54-0.57 log, respectively, on waxed oranges. Under pilot-scale packinghouse conditions with wax F4, mean and minimum reductions of E. faecium ranged from 2.15 to 2.89 and 1.64 to 2.12 log, respectively. However, E. faecium was recovered by whole-fruit enrichment (limit of detection: 0.60 log CFU/lemon) but not by plating (LOD: 1.3 log CFU/lemon) from uninoculated lemons run with or after the inoculated lemons. The findings should provide useful information to establish and implement packinghouse food safety plans.

    Abstract With the development of nuclear power, efficiently treating nuclear wastes generated during operation has attracted extensive attention. Hydrogels are common adsorbent materials in the treatment of wastewater due to their high swelling rate and easy post-treatment. In this work, a novel polyacrylic acid/crown-ether/graphene oxide (PAA/DB18C6/GO) hydrogel composite was synthesized by a radical cross-linking copolymerization method and characterized using various analytical tools such as SEM, FT-IR, TGA and XPS. The effects of time, pH, initial Sr

    Abstract Nicaraven has been reported to inhibit the activity of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). In this study, we investigated the probable ability of nicaraven to attenuate cancer radioresistance during fractionated radiotherapy. Tumor models were established in C57BL/6 mice and BALB/c nude mice by subcutaneous injection of Lewis mouse lung carcinoma cancer cells and A549 human lung cancer cells, respectively. When the tumors had grown to approximately 100 mm

    Abstract To prolong cold storage, diluted storage waxes are applied to washed lemons after harvest and before packing, without drying steps, to reduce premature rotting and water loss. The survival of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella in undiluted and diluted storage waxes (S1-S4), and on lemon surfaces under common commercial storage were investigated. Populations of L. monocytogenes declined more slowly than Salmonella in undiluted storage waxes over 24 h of storage at 4 or 22 °C. L. monocytogenes (inoculated at ∼6 log CFU/mL) was detected by enrichment in undiluted waxes S2, S3, and S4 after 75-135 days at 4 °C but not after 30, 10, or 105 days, respectively at 22 °C. L. monocytogenes survived better in diluted than in undiluted storage waxes at 22 °C. Populations of L. monocytogenes (∼6 log CFU/lemon) declined by 0.64-1.62 log on lemon surfaces right after waxing. Populations of L. monocytogenes decreased to <1.30 log CFU/lemon after 28 days (1:9 S1) or 75 days (other treatments) at 12 °C and ≥93% RH. Except for 1:9 S1, L. monocytogenes was detected by enrichment in all lemon samples over 87 days of storage. Packinghouses should consider the survival of L. monocytogenes and Salmonella in citrus storage waxes in their food safety programs.
