RESEARCH INTERESTS

• Detection and occurrence of foodborne pathogens on carcasses, variety meats, wholesale or retail

meat products, processed meat products, and in foods collected from consumer homes.

• Contribution of chemical additives to meat product quality, palatability, shelf-life and safety.

• Prevalence of pathogenic bacteria in feedlot, and other agricultural and processing-plants,

environments as well as on animals, animal products, and in consumer homes.

• Potential for antimicrobial resistance development in bacteria associated with farm animals.

• Microbial food safety issues associated with non-intact meat products.

• Food safety assistance for small meat and poultry processors through development and

implementation of industry best practices

• Effects of genetics and nutrition on meat product quality, palatability and shelf-life, as well as

production management on beef, pork and lamb quality and palatability.

• Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems for assurance of meat safety by

packers and processors.

• Evaluation of chemical decontamination treatments for meat products against E. coli O157:H7,

non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, and antibiotic resistant and susceptible.

• Evaluation of the effectiveness of FreshCase® technology to extend the shelf-life of whole

muscle pork, ground pork sausage, muscle beef and ground beef; Use of a high throughput

screening approach to identify novel chemical compounds that control foodborne pathogens and

evaluation of these compounds to reduce pathogens in foods.

• Comprehensive consumer panel palatability rankings
