Mississippi State researchers granted $630,000 to tackle ham mites
SUMMARY: The federal government has awarded $630,000 to researchers at Mississippi State’s Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station to improve food quality and safety in specialty dry-cured ham by combating the ham mite, Tryophagus putrescentiae. Led by Wes Schilling, the research team is testing three control methods: a biodegradable cellulose film made from food-safe nanoparticles, various fumigants, and UV-C traps. A cost-benefit analysis of each treatment will be conducted. Collaborating with the team are experts from Kansas State University and local ham producers. Managing mite infestations is essential for the profitability of small, family-owned businesses in the ham industry.
