Published 2022The Hunter transect is diverse area. So much so, that it is difficult to conceptualise it as a unity. It is a region in flux, with pockets of rapidly increasing land values and conversion of traditional agricultural land ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Thermal inactivation kinetics of Sporolactobacillus nakayamae spores, a spoilage bacerium isolated from a model mashed potato-scallion mixture.
Published 2017Sporolactobacillus species have been occasionally isolated from spoiled foods and environmental sources. Thus, food processors should be aware of their potential presence and characteristics. In this study, the heat ...Article -
Degradation of cefixime antibiotic in water by atmospheric plasma bubbles: Performance, degradation pathways and toxicity evaluation.
Published 2021Excessive use and indiscriminate discharge of antibiotics inevitably lead to their accumulation in the environment, posing significant ecological and physiological risks. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) is receiving increasing ...Other -
Environmental drivers for persistence of Escherischia coli and Salmonella in manure-amended soils: A meta-analysis.
Published 2020Application of organic amendments to agricultural land improves soil quality and provides nutrients essential for plant growth; however, they are also a reservoir for zoonotic pathogens whose presence poses a significant ...Other -
Polydiacetylene-based sensors to detect food spoilage at low temperatures
Published 2019Colorimetric gas sensors that detect early release of gases from food spoilage are of great importance in food safety and food conservation. Yet, such sensors are not broadly implemented as they are incompatible with food ...Other
