Food Safety Management systems such as HACCP can help to prevent deliberate contamination of food. These systems are widely used already by the food industry to prevent accidental contamination. This makes them an attractive and cost effective way to address the issue of deliberate contamination.

Use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for rapid comparative analysis of Bacillus and Micrococcus isolates
Garip, Sebnem; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Severcan, FERİDE (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-15)
The identification of foodborne microorganisms and their endospores in food products are important for food safety. The present work compares Bacillus (Bacillas licheniformis, Bacillus circulans and Bacillus silbtilis) and Micrococcus (Micrococcus luteus) species with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Our results show that there are several characteristic peaks belonging to both the Micrococcus and Bacillus Species Which Call be used for the identification of these foodborne bacteria and their...
An explorative study regarding the individual response to terrorism risk perception on food chain security - a social-cognitive perspective in case of Romania and Turkey
Stanescu, D. F.; Stanciugelu, I; Alpas, Hami; Bozoğlu, Tahsin Faruk (2016-06-12)
In 2002, World Health Organization published "Terrorist Threats to Food", which was intended primarily for policy-makers in national governments with responsibilities for ensuring food safety, and was designed to assist them in incorporating considerations of food terrorism into existing food safety systems. In this context, food terrorism was defined as 'an act or threat of deliberate contamination of food for human consumption with biological, chemical and physical agents or radio-nuclear (CBRNE) material...
Pathogen detection by core-shell type aptamer-magnetic preconcentration coupled to real-time PCR
Ozalp, V. Cengiz; BAYRAMOĞLU, GÜLAY; Kavruk, Murat; Keskin, Batuhan B.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; ARICA, MEHMET YAKUP (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-15)
The presence of pathogenic bacteria is a major health risk factor in food samples and the commercial food supply chain is susceptible to bacterial contamination. Thus, rapid and sensitive identification methods are in demand for the food industry. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the reliable specific methods with reasonably fast assay times. However, many constituents in food samples interfere with PCR, resulting in false results and thus hindering the usability of the method. Therefo...
Development of a fuzzy rule based remedial priority ranking system for contaminated sites
Polat, Şener; Ünlü, Kahraman; Department of Environmental Engineering (2009)
Evaluation of contaminated sites based on human health and environmental hazards is an essential task for the proper management of the contaminated sites. A large number of contaminated sites have been waiting for remediation all over the World. However, contaminated site remediation is generally a difficult, time consuming and very expensive process. Ranking systems for contaminated sites are useful tools to determine the remedial priority and to manage the available remediation budget in the most efficien...
Development of immunoaffinity based detection platforms for food pathogens
Çam, Dilek; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2016)
Salmonella and E.coli, food pathogens, are among the very important pathogens threating the health. Rapid and easy detection of these pathogens is crucial. In this context, lateral flow assay (LFA) platform prepared by gold nanoparticles (GNPs) based on antibody for Salmonella and E.coli O157:H7 was developed in the first part of this study. In second part, single chain variable fragments (scFv) and SNAP-Tagged full IgG (fusion protein) of se155-4 antibody specific to Salmonella were genetically produced. T...
