Michelle D. Danyluk,Loretta M. Friedrich,Céline Jouquand,Renée M. Goodrich-Schneider,Mickey E. Parish,Russell L. Rouseff +5 more
TL;DR: The presence of Alicyclobacillus in fruit juices and concentrates poses a serious problem for the juice industry and efficacy of aqueous chlorine dioxide in reducing AlicyClobacillian spores on tropical and subtropical fruit surfaces is studied.

Mitigation of Alicyclobacillus spp. spores on food contact surfaces with aqueous chlorine dioxide and hypochlorite.
TL;DR: Chlorine dioxide is an alternative treatment to kill spores of Alicyclobacillus spp.

Development and Validation of a Mathematical Model for Growth of Pathogens in Cut Melons
TL;DR: The model provides a fast and cost-effective method to estimate the effects of storage temperature on fresh-cut melon safety and could also be used in subsequent quantitative microbial risk assessments.

C. M. Murphy,Laura K. Strawn,Travis Chapin,Rachel McEgan,Sweeya Gopidi,Loretta M. Friedrich,Lawrence Goodridge,Daniel Weller,Keith R. Schneider,Michelle D. Danyluk +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the relationship between Salmonella presence, and microbial and physicochemical water quality; as well as weather and land use factors were evaluated, and the results indicated substantial differences between intra-state regions in risk factors for salmonella contamination of agricultural water.
Natural-Light Labeling of Tomatoes Does Not Facilitate Growth or Penetration of Salmonella into the Fruit
Michelle D. Danyluk,Lenin O. Interiano Villeda,Loretta M. Friedrich,Keith R. Schneider,Ed Etxeberria +4 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the cuticle and epidermal interruptions caused by natural-light labeling do not facilitate the penetration and colonization of the tomato pericarp, and the use of this technology does not adversely compromise the surface of tomatoes.
