The platform uses a DNAzyme-crosslinked hydrogel that produces a visible color change when E. coli is present, enabling equipment-free, point-of-use detection. It successfully detected E. coli in a range of foods, even when other pathogens were present.
McMaster University researchers have created a new packaging tray that can signal when Salmonella or other foodborne pathogens are present in raw or cooked foods, such as chicken.
McMaster University researchers have developed a rapid, inexpensive test for Salmonella contamination in poultry and other food. The test provides accurate results in an hour or less without the need for accessories or a power source.
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new, highly effective tool to mitigate bacterial contamination of foods, including pathogens displaying antimicrobial resistance (AMR), that has great potential for food safety.
The new technology has the potential to replace the traditional “best before” date on food and drinks.
