Quantification of transfer of Salmonella from citrus fruits to peel, edible portion, and gloved hands during hand peeling
No full textAlthough studies have quantified bacterial transfer between hands and various materials, cross-contamination between the surface of fresh citrus fruit and the edible portions during hand peeling has not been reported. This study quantifies transfer of Salmonella to the edible portion of citrus fruit from a contaminated peel during hand peeling. Citrus fruits used for this study were Citrus sinensis (sweet orange) cultivars ‘Valencia’ and ‘Navel’ and C. unshiu (Satsuma mandarins), C. reticulata × C. paradisi (‘Minneola’ tangelo or ‘Honeybell’) and C. paradise (grapefruit) cultivar ‘Marsh'. An avirulent Salmonella Typhimurium LT - 2 (ATCC 700720) resistant to rifampicin was used for all experiments. The inoculum containing ~9 log CFU/ml (50 µl) was spot inoculated onto the equator, stem or styler of each fruit and allowed to dry for 24 h. Six volunteers put on single use latex gloves and peeled inoculated fruit. Peel, edible fruit portion and gloves were collected and enumerated separately. Three replicates of the study were performed where each volunteer peeled 2 inoculated fruit of each variety (n=36 fruit per variety).
Cross-contamination from contaminated surface of citrus fruits to edible portion or gloved hands during peeling was affected by inoculation sites. Average Salmonella transfer to the edible portion ranged from 0.16 % (Valencia inoculated at the equator) to 5.41 % (Navel inoculated at the stem). Average Salmonella transfer to gloved hands ranged from 0.41 % (Grapefruit inoculated at the stem) to 8.97 % (Navel inoculated at the stem). Most Salmonella remained on the peel of citrus fruits. The average level of Salmonella remaining on the peel ranged from 5.37% (Minneola inoculated at the equator) to 66.3% (Satsuma inoculated at the styler). When grapefruit was inoculated, the Salmonella that remained on the peel showed a bimodal pattern where some individuals left almost all Salmonella on the peel, while others left substantially less.
Foodborne outbreaks associated with fresh produce have increased worldwide as consumption of fresh produce has also increased (3, 11, 16, 20, 27). While no outbreaks have been directly linked to whole fresh citrus fruit at this time, unpasteurized orange juice has been implicated in several outbreaks caused by Salmonella, Enterotoxigenic E. coli, Shigella, hepatitis A virus, and Norovirus (6, 8, 14, 18). The majority of outbreaks involving fruit and fruit juice have been attributed to pathogens contaminating the outer skin or rind, although the peel or rind of many fruits is discarded by the consumer and not eaten (11, 12, 25).
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) includes fresh produce safety in its scope and focuses on preventing contamination during the production and harvesting of fresh fruits and vegetables (10). However, fresh produce including fresh citrus fruits can become contaminated at numerous points during transport, distribution, retailing and food preparation in the kitchen environment as well as production and harvesting (5, 16, 23, 27).
Cross-contamination from the surface of fresh produce to edible portions during cutting, slicing, or peeling can occur if the outer skin or rind of fresh produce is contaminated by pathogens (12, 18, 20, 25-27). Bacterial transfer from the skin to the edible flesh has been shown to occur during cutting of tomato and cantaloupes, both of which have implicated as the source of infection in some outbreaks (4, 12, 26). The surface of fresh citrus fruit has also been a source of pathogens, which can be transmitted to the juice during squeezing or peeling. Martinez-Gonzales et al. (17) reported that cross-contamination from inoculated fresh orange skin to utensils used in orange juice squeezing occurred, which subsequently resulted in bacterial transfer from contaminated utensils to squeezed orange juice.
Although studies have been conducted to determine the various factors that influence the bacterial transfer between hands and various surface materials (7, 15, 19), cross-contamination between the surface of fresh citrus fruit and the edible portions during hand peeling has not yet been reported. While a knife or citrus peeler might be used in commercial setting, this study was undertaken to quantify transfer of Salmonella to the edible portion of citrus fruit from a contaminated peel that can occur during hand peeling of a single fruit, as might occur in the home. Transfer rates were determined between various inoculation locations on the citrus fruits to the edible portion and gloved hands.Peer reviewe
Architecture in tension: an examination of the position of the architect in the private and public sectors, focusing on the training and careers of Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976) and Sir Donald Gibson (1908-1991)
No full textIn the early 1900s tensions began to appear within the architectural profession,
as private practitioners struggled to deal with the implications of professional
colleagues moving into public sector employment. Sir Basil Spence and Sir
Donald Gibson began their architectural training in the mid-1920s and, as
tensions between the sectors intensified, Spence entered private practice and
Gibson chose to enter the public sector. Each became an exemplar of his
chosen sector of the profession and yet both have, until recently, escaped
critical attention. The tensions between the public and private sectors of the
profession have been acknowledged within the historiography, but not received
detailed analysis.
This thesis advances the current historiography by presenting an examination
of the division between the sectors, focusing on the relationship between the
RIBA and the public sector union AASTA and assessing the influence of
AASTA on Gibson's Coventry City Architect's Department.
Through an examination of archival material, contemporary published material,
and buildings, this thesis builds on the work of the Sir Basil Spence Archive
Project, adding detailed accounts of his early life, architectural training, and
RIBA presidency, presenting new information and correcting certain aspects of
the accepted historiography. It likewise presents new information on Gibson's
early life and training and his central role in achieving improved status and
representation for the public sector. An analysis of selected projects provides a
comparative study of their contrasting approaches to architecture: the
technically informed, collaborative team-work of Gibson and the individual
artistry of Spence.
Both men played pivotal roles in reforming the RIBA and in changing public and
professional perceptions of the architect, nevertheless, the long lineage and
complex nature of tensions within the profession meant that the public/private
division was never be bridged and issues of status and representation
remained essentially immutable
A Quantitative Study of Etch Morphology of (0001) Zinc Cleavages
No full textTitle: A Quantitative Study of Etch Morphology of (0001) Zinc Cleavages, Author: Donald D. McAusland, Location: ThodeThe (0001) plane of zinc monocrystals were etched
over a range of HCl/95% ethyl alcohol solutions for different etch times
to produce etch pits. The etched surface was examined on the Zeiss
interference microscope and from the interferograms made pits slopes,
depths and rate of deepening were evaluated. The results indicate that
the rate of widening of the pits formed is dependent on the defect
causing the pit while the pit shape is governed by the HCl in the etchant.ThesisMaster of Science (MS

Donald O. Thompson: A remembrance
No full textThis paper was developed from the remarks delivered to honor Don Thompson by the banquet speakers at the 40th QNDE meeting, July 2013. Don died peacefully at his home just days later on July 29th after a two year battle with cancer. “Don was a tenacious fighter for what he believed in, and his vision and perseverance did much to establish NDE in both the US and wider global R&D community. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and colleagues in the NDE community”.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only.
