An explorative study on the antimicrobial effects and mechanical properties of 3D printed PLA and TPU surfaces loaded with Ag and Cu against nosocomial and foodborne pathogens (2022)
Journal Article

Antimicrobial 3D printed surfaces made of PLA and TPU polymers loaded with copper (Cu), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were developed via fused deposition modeling (FDM). The potential antimicrobial effect of the 3D printed surfaces against Esch...

Molecular Hydrogen: The postharvest use in fruits, vegetables and the floriculture industry (2022)
Journal Article

Featured Application: It is proposed here that the use of molecular hydrogen should be considered more widely for the treatment of post-harvest fruits, vegetables and flowers. This can be applied as a gas, or in solution, and costs associated with it... Read More about Molecular Hydrogen: The postharvest use in fruits, vegetables and the floriculture industry.

Rapid identification of foodborne pathogens in limited resources settings using a handheld Raman spectroscopy device (2022)
Journal Article

Featured Application: Here, we report a practical and precise method for the identification of foodborne pathogenic bacteria using a Raman handheld device equipped with an orbital raster scan (ORS) technology that enables the system to generate a dis...

Development of geraniol-loaded liposomal nanoformulations against salmonella colonization in the pig gut (2022)
Journal Article

Salmonella is a global health threat, with pig production being one of the main sources of human salmonellosis. The current study investigated the antivirulence properties of geraniol for inhibiting the in vitro colonization of Salmonella. The minimu...
