Awardees to travel to IAFNS June 10-11 Annual Meeting to give presentations on food safety and nutrition research.
A recent study has shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Penicillium expansum, the fungal culprit behind blue mold disease in fruits. By mapping chromatin accessibility at different growth stages, researchers identified key regulatory elements and a critical transcription factor, PeAtf1, which governs fungal growth, stress response, and pathogenicity.
Whey is a by-product of cheese manufacturing and one of the largest sources of food loss and waste in the Australian dairy sector, and the country鈥檚 food industry more broadly. Jack Hetherington, from the University of Adelaide鈥檚 Centre for Global Food and Resources, says while there are multiple high-value reuse options 鈥� such as protein powders, alcoholic beverages (beer or vodka), kombucha, and cooking stocks 鈥� his new report reveals the sector has not fully capitalised on this valuable by-product.

El pl谩stico est谩 presente en todos los aspectos de nuestra vida diaria, incluso en las gomas de mascar. Los investigadores de un estudio piloto descubrieron que masticar goma de mascar puede liberar cientos o miles de micropl谩sticos por pieza en la saliva, los cuales podr铆an ser ingeridos. Presentar谩n sus resultados en el encuentro de primavera de 2025 de la ACS.
Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives, including chewing gums. In a pilot study, researchers found that chewing gum can release hundreds to thousands of microplastics per piece into saliva and potentially be ingested. They will present their results at ACS Spring 2025.
Researchers have developed a new material that, by harnessing the power of sunlight, can clear water of dangerous pollutants.
Team Finds Regional, Age-Related Trends in Exposure to Drug-Resistant Campylobacter
Pharmaceutical chemicals entering waterways can have long-term consequences for aquatic, human and environmental health. Researcher Joseph Aladekoyi is studying the impact of pharmaceutical drugs entering freshwater ecosystems.
After deploying life-saving cholera-prediction systems in Africa and Asia, a University of Florida researcher is turning his attention to the pathogen-plagued waters off Florida鈥檚 Gulf Coast.
Existing antivirals may be less effective against this H5N1 bird flu strain, and prevention measures, such as avoiding raw milk consumption and reducing exposure in dairy workers, may be the most effective way to protect against the virus.
Dr. Paresh Samantaray, an assistant professor of chemical and materials engineering at The University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH), has won a National Academies Early-Career Research Fellowship to study changes over time in the water quality of the Dog River Watershed in Mobile, Ala. The region encompasses a 95-square-mile area that drains into Mobile Bay and the Gulf coast.
A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research team has developed organic-material-based nanozymes that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and cost effective. In two new studies, they introduce next-generation organic nanozymes and explore a point-of-use platform for molecule detection in agricultural products.
Irvine, Calif., Feb. 26, 2025 鈥� A study led by the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health at the University of California, Irvine has revealed possible links between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in drinking water and an increased risk of certain childhood cancers. Widely used in industrial and consumer products, PFAS 鈥� commonly known as 鈥渇orever chemicals鈥� due to their persistence in the environment 鈥� have been linked to various adverse health effects.
Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge, so in this week鈥檚 Journal of Laser Applications, researchers deliver key insights into a solution that could change the current practice altogether: Instead of working to prevent bacteria buildup, they created surfaces that stop bacteria from attaching in the first place.
More people got sick from contaminated food last year in the U.S. than in 2023, according to a new report published by Public Interest Research Group. ...
Part-time, summer opportunity for graduate students to provide science translation experience across formats and sectors.
Routine, relatively low-cost monitoring of several factors influencing water safety could ward off Legionnaires鈥� disease outbreaks in hospitals, nursing homes and other health care settings, a new study from the Ohio State University suggests.
IAFNS has been advancing food and nutrition sciences as an independent organization for four years.
