Chitosan: antimicrobial activity, interactions with food components and applicability as a coating on fruit and vegetables
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of chitosan coatings on controlling decay of minimally processed fruits and vegetables (strawberry and lettuce) were investigated. And the results showed that chitoshan had a deacetylation degree of 94% and a molecular weight of 43 kDa on different psychrotrophic spoilage organisms and food pathogens.

Understanding and attitude regarding the shelf life labels and dates on pre-packed food products by Belgian consumers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected information on Belgian consumers regarding their understanding and attitude towards shelf life labels and dates and found that 80.1% of the respondents were familiar with the terminology of the label use by and best before while 69.6% indicated to know the difference between the meaning of the two labels.

Prevalence and challenge tests of Listeria monocytogenes in Belgian produced and retailed mayonnaise-based deli-salads, cooked meat products and smoked fish between 2005 and 2007
Mieke Uyttendaele,Pieter Busschaert,Antonio Valero,A.H. Geeraerd,An Vermeulen,Liesbeth Jacxsens,Kelvin K.T. Goh,A De Loy,J.F. Van Impe,Frank Devlieghere +9 more
TL;DR: Predictive models, dedicated to and validated for a particular food category, provided predictions of growth potential of L. monocytogenes corresponding to observed growth in challenge testing, and based on the combined prevalence data and growth potential, mayonnaise-based deli-salads and cooked meat products can be classified as intermediate risk foods, smoked fish as a high risk food.

TL;DR: This article showed that the severity of multiorgan dysfunction and the probability of death are indeed associated with plasma catalytic iron and lipid peroxidation, and they suggest ferroptosis targeting as a possible treatment option for a stratifiable subset of MODS patients.
