Low-temperature post-harvest processing for reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus in raw oysters

Creator:

Chae, Minjung

Abstract:

Oysters are filter-feeding bivalves, which filter water for nutrients and often accumulate contaminants and human pathogens such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus naturally occurring in the marine environment. These naturally occurring pathogens have been frequently isolated from raw shellfish, particularly oyster, in the United States and are recognized as...

Low-temperature depuration and low-temperature high hydrostatic pressure processing as post-harvest interventions for diminishing Vibrio parahaemolyticus contamination in oysters

Creator:

Phuvasate, Sureerat

Abstract:

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis associated with consumption of seafood, particularly raw oysters. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 45,000 cases of V. parahaemolyticus infection occur each year in the U.S. A recent CDC report revealed that the incidence of...
