The report describes the key drivers of the wider environment which informed the development of the scenarios. There are case studies of three representative food types, which illustrate how the scenarios may be used to ...
Post-harvest control strategies: Minimizing mycotoxins in the food chain.

Magan, Naresh; Aldred, David (Elsevier, 2007-10-20)

Contamination of cereal commodities by moulds and mycotoxins results in dry matter, quality, and nutritional losses and represents a significant hazard to the food chain. Most grain is harvested, dried and then stored on ...
Potential biocontrol of fumonisin b1 production by fusarium verticillioides under different ecophysiological conditions in maize

Samsudin, Nik Iskandar Putra Bin (Cranfield University, 2015-10)

Fusarium verticillioides contaminates maize with the fumonisin group of mycotoxins for which there are strict legislative limits in many countries including the EU. The objectives of this project were (a) to examine the ...
Potential control of mycotoxigenic fungi and ochratoxin A in stored coffee using gaseous ozone treatment

Akbar, Asya; Medina, Angel; Magan, Naresh (MDPI, 2020-09-23)

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of treatment of Arabica green coffee beans with gaseous ozone (O3) for the control of ochratoxigenic fungi and ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination by Aspergillus westerdijkiae, ...
Potential for control of spoilage and mycotoxigenic species using mixtures of anti-oxidants, aliphatic acids and molecular approaches using RNAi

Leite, Goncalo M. (Cranfield University, 2013-01)

In recent years, consumer perceptions are that they would like minimum levels of preservatives or even preservative free food. However, this leads to higher risks of microbial spoilage problems, especially due to growth ...
Potential for detection of microorganisms and heavy metals in potable water using electronic nose technology.

Canhoto, Olinda; Magan, Naresh (Elsevier, 2003-05)

Studies have been carried out to determine the potential for the detection of different microbial species (Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), alone and in the presence of low concentrations ...
