Organically grown pulses were artificially spiked with glyphosate at 5 concentrations (0 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg) and used for the development and testing of FTIR spectroscopy and associated chemometric models. Principal component analysis (PCA) led to the discrimination and clustering in the pulse samples based on the applied glyphosate levels. Various preprocessing and variable selection techniques were applied on the spectral dataset and partial least squares (PLS) regression was used to predict the glyphosate levels in pulses.

The lessons learned by the food industry after facing the challenges for production, transport, storing, and trading, in order to protect food workers’ and consumers’ health during the COVID-19 pandemic are valuable for possible future epidemics. Managing this economic sector in the post-COVID-19 era is a new challenge. Food industries realized great strides in good hygiene practices that served as quick action tools to prevent dissemination of the virus among workers during food manufacturing and ensured food safety. In addition, lockdown measures in some countries showed the importance of food availability, revealing that food industry and food distribution are activities that cannot be paralyzed.

Among the 2 groups of <i>Vibrio</i> bacteria, the non-cholera <i>Vibrio</i> bacteria group mainly associate with seafood-borne illness. Though ~ 12 species have been recognized as causative agents of diseases in humans, horizontal gene transfer has attributed to an increase in emerging human pathogenic <i>Vibrio</i> spp. The assortment of virulence determinants contributes to the pathogenicity of vibrios. They carry specific genes to produce toxins and hemolysin, which are correlated with pathogenicity. In addition, the expanding antimicrobial use in humans and aquaculture resulted in a surge of resistant <i>Vibrio</i> strains found in shellfish. This has adversely affected the therapeutic results in the case of <i>Vibrio</i> infection.
