Risk Assessment And Regulation Of Bacteriophage As A New Food Antimicrobial Agent, Lin Wei, Juan-Juan Sun Feb 2023

Risk Assessment And Regulation Of Bacteriophage As A New Food Antimicrobial Agent, Lin Wei, Juan-Juan Sun

Food and Machinery

Based on the theory of modern risk regulation and the existing research results at home and abroad, this paper discusses the bacteriophage as a kind of food antimicrobial agent from the perspective of risk assessment and risk regulation. In previous studies on risk assessment, no obvious adverse effects and side effects of phages on the environment, animals and human body were found. As an antibacterial agent, bacteriophage has shown good antibacterial effects in fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products and seafood, with a very broad application prospect. However, while complying with the application research trend of bacteriophage food antimicrobial agents, …

Effect Of Microwave Heating On The Migration Of Additives From Ps, Pp And Pet Container Into Food Simulants, Ruoyin Cai, Kereilemang Khana Mokwena Nthoiwa, Changfeng Ge

Journal of Applied Packaging Research

The main objective of this thesis is to test three different microwaving packaging materials that are the most common material in the market, viz. polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), migrated into four food simulant solutions. Four different simulant solutions were used based on the food type and FDA recommendations and regulations. These food simulants include vegetable pure oil, 3% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid, 15% (v/v) ethanol, and olive oil in the temperature of 100°C.Headspace gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS) was used to determine the relative migration values from packaging materials into food by putting the …
