imulated post-harvest cold storage.
The goal is to develop an easily accessible online tool the industry can use to identify practices to help reduce the risks of E. coli O157:H7 transmission via romaine lettuce.
Project focuses on the period during romaine lettuce post-harvest cooling and refrigerated transport.
Researchers will gauge pathogen physiological changes on inoculated romaine lettuce under lab-simulated post-harvest cooling.
Researchers also will examine coolings impacts on E. coli
