Lettuce is consumed raw in salads and is susceptible to microbial contamination through environment, agricultural practices, and its morphology, thus, a potential vehicle for food-borne illness. This study investigated the effect of adoption of food safety and hygienic practices by lettuce farmers on the microbial safety of field sourced lettuce in Lagos State, Nigeria. Ten structured questionn...
The role of lytic bacteriophages in preventing cross contamination of produce has not been evaluated. A cocktail of three lytic phages specific for E. coli O157:H7 (EcoShield™) or a control (phosphate buffered saline, PBS) was applied to lettuce by either; (1) immersion of lettuce in 500 ml of EcoShield™ 8.3 log PFU/ml or 9.8 log PFU/ml for up to 2 min before inoculation with E. coli O157:H7; (...
The authors evaluated the effectiveness of ReJeX-iT@ AG-145, Mesurola, activated charcoal, lime, and fipronil to reduce homed lark damage to lettuce seeds and seedlings. In Experiment 1, homed larks consumed significantly more feed mixture (50:50 grains and lettuce seed) than untreated clay-coated lettuce seed in a three-day choice-test. In Experiment 2, where clay-coated lettuce seed was treat...
AIM To investigate bacteriological quality in organically grown leaf lettuce, including the presence of selected pathogenic bacteria, and to obtain information about organic lettuce production, including fertilizing regimes. METHODS AND RESULTS Altogether 179 samples of Norwegian organically grown lettuce were collected from 12 producers. Escherichia coli was isolated from 16 of the lettuce s...
Studies were conducted on the effect of controlled atmosphere storage as well as chemical pretreatments on the quality of lettuce as well as biochemical composition of lettuce leaves, Lactuca sativa L., cultivar "Great Lakes." In a CA of 2.5% CO2 and 2.57 02, the lettuce heads could be stored up to 75 days. Pre-storage treatments with microbeand s6nescenceinhibiting chemicale (Captan, Phaltan, ...
Four experiments were carried out at the São Paulo State University, Brazil, with the aim of determining the agronomic viability of intercropping tomato and lettuce, under greenhouse conditions. The studied intercropping systems were established by transplanting lettuce at 0, 10, 20 and 30 days after transplanting (DAT) tomato and by transplanting tomato at 0, 10, 20 and 30 DAT lettuce. Intercr...
Leafy vegetables, such as lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L), have been identified as a potential source of perchlorate exposure to humans. Perchlorate is of concern because excessive amounts may impair thyroid function by inhibiting iodide uptake by the sodium iodide symporter. Perchlorate has been identified as an oxidation product in sodium hypochlorite. Dilute hypochlorite solutions are widely use...
Stored cut lettuce gradually turns brown on the cut section after several days of storage, because cutting induces phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, the biosynthesis of polyphenol is promoted, and the polyphenols are oxidized by polyphenol oxidase. Here, the effect of heat shock treatment at 50 degrees C for 90 s on the quality of cut lettuce during cold storage was examined. The heat...
Background In the early 20 century, California produced only little lettuce . For 1909, Knott and Tavernetti [4] reported that lettuce was produced on 595 acres in California, which corresponded to 11% of the total U.S. acreage. Lettuce production increased dramatically in the 1920s (Figure 1). While 6,100 acres were harvested in 1919 , the harvested area reached 112,000 acres by 1930 . The mar...
Lettuce mosaic, caused by the potyvirus LMV, is a serious viral disease of lettuce crops world-wide. Beside seed control, one of the leading strategies to control LMV is the use of the recessive resistance genes mo11 and mo12. In an attempt to characterize the functional role of the translation initiation factor eIF4E in lettuce susceptibility to LMV, we cloned Ls-eIF4E cDNAs from a collection ...
