In a study to test package film permeability and shelf life of fresh-cut produce, food technologist Yaguang Luo prepares to seal romaine lettuce. Photo by Peggy Greb.  **Research Area:** Develop rapid and sensitive methods for detection of enteric human pathogens and spoilage bacteria from conventional and organically grown produce, and develop effective postharvest sanitizing procedures providing improved antimicrobial activity while maintaining produce quality and shelf-life, and understand the ecology and mechanisms that allow specific human and spoilage microorganisms to persist on fresh produce and develop control agents to reduce food safety risks. **Quick links to information from the ARS database****Click here to see a list of current projects for Yaguang Luo**
