    Abstract Techniques for detection of microbial contamination -- Decontamination of fruits -- Decontamination of vegetables -- Decontamination of ready to eat vegetable salads -- Decontamination of sprouts -- Decontamination of microgreens -- Decontamination of Cereal and Cereal -- Decontamination of Nuts -- Decontamination of spices -- Decontamination of meat and meat products -- Decontamination of poultry and poultry products -- Decontamination of fish and fish products -- Decontamination of milk and milk products -- Decontamination of fruit beverages -- Decontamination of food powders.

    Food is contaminated in the production chain and is the point of concern among the consumers and industries. There is also a considerable increase in foodborne outbreaks, which possess the challenge to industry associated with the production of processed food. Various strategies are used to prevent the contamination during postharvest stage, storage and distribution. Different methods are exploited for degrading or eliminating the microbial contamination from food commodities. The conventional techniques used for decontamination demanded a considerable requirement for novel technologies, which are efficient, environmental friendly, and cost-effective. Novel technologies efficiently remove the contamination without adversely affecting the nutritional properties and sensory characteristics of food material. There is a lack of scientific information on the microbial decontamination of different food commodities such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, sprouts, microgreens, meat, poultry, milk, nut, spices etc. under one umbrella. The application of conventional and novel technologies for improving the food safety of individual food commodities will be addresses in this book. Written by several experts in the field, this book is a valuable source for students, scientists, and professionals in food science, food microbiology, food technology, food processing, and other allied sciences.

    Abstract Globally stone fruits are emerging in the market due to the increased consumer’s desire for health-promoting foods. Stone fruits attract research attention, mainly due to the cultural and commercial aspects of the array of varieties that are grown. Being grown in wide range of environments, it is very important to understand what factors influence the production and quality attributes of stone fruits. There is a lack of systematic scientific information on strategic approach for production technologies of such fruits. This book will be first of its kind focusing on technological aspects of stone fruits especially on latest developments in present day horticulture. It will be an essential reference for professionals including academicians, scholars, researchers and industries working in the said area. We hope that readers will find this book a useful resource for their research or studies, and it will be helpful in the development of high quality stone fruits in future which will improve the economic and social life of people. Besides, this book fulfills the needs of a number of horticultural courses of Universities and will serving as a pomological manual for all occasions.

    Abstract Listeria monocytogenes, a facultative intracellular gram-positive pathogen, is the causative agent of the disease listeriosis. The virulence of this intracellular bacterium is dependent on the coordinated activity of various bacterial factors, which are in turn tightly controlled by a specific set of regulators. The various virulence factors employed by L. monocytogenes for its infection cycle are well reported in literature. Although the internalins of L. monocytogenes have been studied in detail, their structural details are currently scattered and fragmented. Therefore, in the current review, we provide a brief account of the existing knowledge on structural details of the key internalins of L. monocytogenes and also highlight the recent advances in their functional aspects.

    Abstract Background: The early secreted antigenic target-6 kDa (ESAT-6) being one of the important antigens expressed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) has been widely investigated for its strong immunmodulatory effects. We have previously evaluated the immunotherapeutic efficacy of ESAT-6 in the murine model of experimental tuberculosis (TB). Now in the present study, we have evaluated the immunotherapeutic efficacy of N-terminally formylated form of ESAT-6 (f-ESAT-6) in murine TB.
    Materials and methods: The production and purification of f-ESAT-6 have been discussed in our earlier report (Mir SA and Sharma S, 2014). In the present study, the MTB H
    Results: The N-terminally formylated ESAT-6 protein (f-ESAT-6) induced a moderate reduction in the bacterial load in the target organs of infected mice. Compared to the dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide treated and untreated groups, the f-ESAT-6 treatment significantly reduced the CFU in the spleen and lungs of infected mice by 0.377 log
    Conclusion: The results of the present study clearly indicate that f-ESAT-6 protein alone as well as in combination with the conventional ATDs induce moderate therapeutic effect against experimental TB.

    Abstract Heusler alloys have drawn the interest of researchers due to their possible technical significances and multifunctional use. Herein, a thorough theoretical analysis using "density functional theory (DFT)" is performed to investigate the general physical features of RbTaSi and RbTaGe alloys. The "generalised gradient approximation (GGA)" and "Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ) potential" has been incorporated to model the electronic structures of RbTaSi and RbTaGe. The structural optimization results signify that these materials are stable in the ferromagnetic phase with a cubic

    Abstract Background: Viral hepatitis is a major global health problem affecting millions of people worldwide. The main objective of the present study was to estimate the seroprevalence of hepatitis C and hepatitis B in Saudi adults undertaking premarital screening voluntarily.
    Methodology: This observational retrospective study was conducted at King Khaled General Hospital, Al Majmaah, Saudi Arabia, for a period of 3 years (October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2019). The prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections was calculated using Microsoft Excel and the hematological data analysis was performed using SPSS software. A total of 3755 premarital Saudi adults who voluntarily participated in the premarital screening were included in this study. Subjects were screened for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). The demographic and epidemiological parameters included patient age, sex, nationality, and seropositivity for HBV and/or HCV.
    Results: Of the 3755 subjects, eight (0.242%) and 12 (0.364%) subjects were positive for HCV and HBV, respectively. Among the 12 HBV-positive subjects, nine (75%) subjects were men, and three (25%) subjects were women. However, among the eight HCV-positive subjects, five (62.5%) subjects were men, and three (37.5%) subjects were women.
    Conclusion: This study concluded that the prevalence of HBV infection was slightly higher than that of HCV infection among the Saudi adult population of Al Mjamaah. In addition, both HBV and HCV were less prevalent in women than in men in the study population.
