Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Contamination of food with foodborne human pathogens continues to be a major challenge in the United States and the world. Among the foods that are frequently associated with foodborne diseases are fresh produce and raw meats. Irradiation is effective in inactivating bacterial human pathogens such as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes on/in fresh produce and meats. In the present chapter, the effectiveness of ionizing radiation in reducing populations of human pathogens in/on fresh produce and meats, and factors affecting radiation sensitivity of foodborne pathogens are discussed. Also discussed are possible adverse effects of irradiation on quality of the foods, and challenges for commercial application of food irradiation. In addition, combination of irradiation with other natural antimicrobials and radiation sensitizers to increase the effectiveness of irradiation and minimize adverse effects on product quality are reviewed.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
