The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Research Initiation Awards provide support for junior and mid-career faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities who are building new research programs or redirecting and rebuilding existing research programs. It is expected that the award helps to further the faculty member's research capability and effectiveness and improve research and teaching at the home institution. This award to Albany State University supports faculty and undergraduate research experiences as they seek to improve the decontamination process of Escherichia coli O157:H7, non-typhoidal Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes bacteria to increase the shelf life of different foods by utilizing elevated hydrostatic pressure/high pressure processing (HPP), mild temperature, and natural antimicrobials.The specific objectives of this project are to: 1) conduct a comprehensive study to compare traditional heat-based pasteurization and HPP decontamination process of Escherichia coli O157:H7, non-typhoidal Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes with mild temperature; 2) evaluate the synergistic effect of natural antimicrobials combined with HPP to inactivate E. coli O157:H7, non-typhoidal Salmonella and L. monocytogenes; and 3) investigate biofilm formation of E. coli O157:H7, non-typhoidal Salmonella and L. monocytogenes over time on stainless steel and plastic surfaces at different pressure stress and temperatures. This project is expected to enhance foodborne pathogen decontamination using the synergistic effect of less than 600mpa pressure combined with other environmental factors such as mild temperatures and antimicrobials that will assure the quality and fitness of food for distribution. These results can also help food industries to validate existing food decontamination processes and improve food cost effectiveness. Additionally, the development of this research focus at Albany State University will strengthen and improve the existing food safety knowledge, practice, and attitudes of undergraduate students, as well as enhance the STEM education learning experience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

历史悠久的黑人学院本科课程（HBCU-UP）通过研究启动奖为历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的初级和中级教师提供了支持，他们正在构建新的研究计划，或重建和重建现有研究计划。预计该奖项有助于促进教师的研究能力和有效性，并改善家庭机构的研究和教学。授予奥尔巴尼州立大学的这一奖项支持教师和大学研究经验，因为他们试图改善大肠杆菌O157：H7，非类细菌和李斯特菌单核细菌细菌的去污染过程，以提高不同食物的货架，通过利用较小的对象/高压/高压加工（HPP），HPP，HPP，HPP，HPP，HPP），HPP和李斯特菌。为：1）进行一项全面的研究，以比较传统的大肠杆菌O157：H7，非肾脏沙门氏菌和单核细胞增生李斯特氏菌的传统热巴氏灭菌和HPP净化过程； 2）评估与HPP结合使用的天然抗微生物的协同作用，以使大肠杆菌O157：H7，非肾小球沙门氏菌和乳杆菌单核细胞增生。 3）研究大肠杆菌O157：H7的生物膜形成，在不同的压力应力和温度下，在不锈钢和塑料表面上，随着时间的流逝，非细细沙门氏菌和单核细胞增生。预计该项目将使用小于600MPa压力的协同作用以及其他环境因素（例如轻度温度和抗菌剂）增强食品生殖的病原体去污染，从而确保食物分配的质量和适应性。这些结果还可以帮助食品行业验证现有的食品净化过程并提高食品成本效益。此外，奥尔巴尼州立大学的这项研究重点的发展将加强和改善本科生的现有食品安全知识，实践和态度，并增强了STEM教育学习经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
