Stopping listeria in food products – Foodprocessing
Listeria contaminations are a risk at food processing facilities, but now a new research discovery could lead to bacterial control in food products.
Listeria contaminations can send food processing facilities into full crisis mode with mass product recalls and damage to brands. Destroying the bacterium and stopping its spread can be challenging because of the formation of biofilms, or communities of resistant bacteria that adhere to drains or other surfaces.
Researchers at the University of Houston are reporting in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering that cobalt-doped titanium-dioxide (CoO-TiO2) stops the reproduction of Liste…
