Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Karina Desiree's research investigates methods for mitigating microbial contamination in food products and animals. Her work includes evaluating the efficacy of phage therapy for poultry and pigs, as detailed in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Desiree also studies the impact of cooking practices and antimicrobial washes on reducing specific foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli O157, in various food items including beef, dried mushrooms, and pecans. Her research extends to assessing the safety of food processing techniques, such as sous-vide cooking, and the effectiveness of combinatorial hurdles in non-alcoholic beverage matrices against a range of foodborne bacteria. Desiree has a h-index of 6, with 20 publications and 125 citations, and has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jennifer C. Acuff and Peter M. Rubinelli.
