Cashew Nut Oil Improves Lipid Metabolism and Fat Liver Deposition in High-Fat Diet-Fed C57BL/6J Mice. [PDF]
Thirty C57BL/6J mice were fed a high‐fat diet for 12 weeks to induce metabolic changes. They were then switched to diets containing cashew nut oil, soybean oil, or lard for another 12 weeks. Soybean oil reduced blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and liver steatosis.

Critical monitoring and control factors for achieving food defense criteria. [PDF]
Abstract Food can be contaminated by physical, chemical, biological, and radiological hazards. Industry and regulatory agencies have developed the Food Safety Management System, based on the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, to be effective against unintentional food safety risks. However, there is the intentional contamination

The incorporation of alpha-tocopherol and functional doses of phytosterol esters during cheesemaking does not affect DNA or mRNA dynamics of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactococcus lactis throughout and after the end of ripening [PDF]
Tocopherols and phytosterols are lipid-soluble molecules which have been widely used in the food industry. Nevertheless, the influence of these compounds on the performance of starter lactic acid bacteria (SLAB) in fermented foods has received little ...

Drought Diagnosis: What the Medical Sciences Can Teach Us
Abstract Drought management is currently informed by a variety of approaches, mostly responding to drought crisis when it happens. Toward more effective and integrated drought management, we introduce a conceptual drought diagnosis framework inspired by diagnostic concepts from the field of medicine. This framework comprises five steps: 1.
