“…Food poisoning caused by B. cereus often happens via starchy foods such as rice (Krämer, 1992;Baumgart, 1994). This contamination in rice were depending on the content of the soil (Hamid et al, 2020). Rice is contaminated via exposure to…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of select spices and herbs added to cooked rice in the growth of Bacillus cereus. The results showed the actual role of herbs and spices as food flavoring ingredients rather than acting as a preservative agent. Herbs and spices extracts were added to rice before and after the cooking process, then observed the differences in Bacillus cereus growth. From all herb and spices extract used, clove was the most effective one against B. cereus. It provided a good zone of inhibition, while the others did not have similar effects. The ethanolic extracts for all tested herbs and spices at concentrations of 50-200 µg/mL showed good activity in media. The zone of inhibition was from 10 to 25 mm in diameter. Rice with Spiced/herbs was inoculated with 10 8 spores of B. cereus then the growth of B. cereus vegetative cells was detected at different temperature.As the result showed no different in the growth of B. cereus, We concluded that the temperature for rice cooking/reheating has main effect on the control of B. cereus cells while herbs and spices can be used only for flavor with no role in controlling the contamination in rice.

“…This seemed to be of selective/ genetic advantage in wheat and also implied to specific transporter genes for each kind of metal ions (Cd and Pb) in the species. Nevertheless, the presence of heavy metals in edible parts of the plants is a serious issue as far as food safety is concerned ( Hamid et al, 2020 , Haider et al, 2021 ). In addition, a distinctive extent of resilience through restricted transport and limited deposition of metal ions in the cultivars can be independent of metal concentration.…”

“…Moreover, it provides dietary components; carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals (Ca +2 , Cu +2 , K + , Na + , Mg +2 , Fe +2 and Zn +2 ), antioxidants and fibers ( Carcea et al, 2020 ). Triticum durum L. (durum wheat) with a world production of more than 36 million tons occupies 10th position amongst important staple crops of the world ( Hamid et al, 2020 ).…”

Highlights The growth, biosynthesis of pigments and other macromolecules appeared to be strong predictors in appraisal of Pb tolerance/susceptibility in durum wheat. Germplasm of CBD59, CBD63 and CBD66 can be exploited for future selection and breeding programs. The bioaccumulation of metal in grains of some cultivars of durum wheat much below than permissible limits set by FAO/WHO is of great significance owing to its implications for food safety.

“…Daily intake of Cd was estimated by multiplying the concentration of Cd in grains with daily food intake and conversion factor and dividing by average body weight of person. By taking the average body weight in Pakistan (65 kg), the average rice consumption per capita 0.15 kg day −1 [64]. DIM = Cd in grain × Daily Food intake of rice × conversion factor/average body weight.…”

Soil contamination with toxic cadmium (Cd) is becoming a serious global problem and poses a key hazard to environments and the health of human beings worldwide. The present study investigated the effects of foliar applications of three forms of silicate chemicals (calcium silicate, sodium silicate, and potassium silicate) at four rates (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0%) at tillering stage on rice growth and the accumulation of Cd under Cd stress (30 mg kg−1). The results showed that Cd stress reduced the yield-related traits and enlarged Cd contents in different rice organs. The leaf gas exchange attributes and yield traits were enhanced, and the Cd accumulation and bioaccumulation factor in rice organs were reduced, especially in grains, through silicon application. In shoots, roots, and grains, foliar spray of Si reduced Cd contents by 40.3%, 50.7%, and 47.9%, respectively. The effectiveness of silicate compounds in reducing Cd toxicity varied with the kind of chemicals and doses of foliar applications. Foliar application of potassium silicate, at a rate of 0.5%, at tillering stage, showed the best effectiveness in improving grain yield, while mitigating Cd accumulation in rice grains. The outcome of this study provides a promising practicable approach in alleviating Cd toxicity in rice and preventing the entrance of Cd into the food chain.
