Plants and animals aren’t the only things that get sick. Even pathogenic microbes can succumb to infections. Federal plant pathologists are now looking to capitalize on that phenomenon as a strategy to fight off food poisoning.Though nature seals most fruits and vegetables in germ-resistant peels and rinds, once those outer barriers are breached—such as when you slice a cucumber or peel an avocado—those foods become sitting ducks for any poisonous bacteria on your hands, utensils, or cutting board.So, Britta Leverentz and William Conway of the Agricultural Research Service’s Produce Quality an...Published: 2001-08-13 17:38:51Found in: Food Science

Biodegradable plastic that releases germ killers provides an example of what's known as active packaging, and scientists report progress toward taking this concept to market.Paul Dawson and his colleagues at Clemson (S.C.) University are fashioning plastics from proteins found in corn, soy, and wheat. While these biodegradable polymers are being heated or compressed to make a thin film, the food scientists add a sprinkling of a natural antimicrobial agent—usually nisin. This is a bacteriocin, an antibioticlike substance secreted by bacteria such as those harnessed to make yogurt and cheese. Ni...Published: 2001-04-23 11:59:56Found in: Food Science
