Effect of Acacia nilotica Gum on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Sterilised Flavoured Milk

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Acacia nilotica gum fortification improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sterilised flavoured milk. A. nilotica gum significantly increased the dietary fibre content of sterilised flavoured milk (1.9 g per 100 g). ABSTRACT Flavoured milks are widely preferred by people of all age groups globally. There is also a significant rise in

Molecular Identification of Bacillus Isolated from Korean Water Deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus) and Striped Field Mouse (Apodemus agrarius) Feces by Using an SNP-Based 16S Ribosomal Marker

Animals, 2022
Ambiguous, heterogeneous, endospore-forming Bacillus species, notably Bacillus cereus, often produce fatal toxins that threaten human health. We identified Bacillus from wild animal fecal samples (n = 80), including the Korean water deer (n = 25) and ...

BacSafe: A Comprehensive Database for Integrated Assessment of Bacterial Biosafety

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
The substantial threats that bacterial contamination poses to healthcare and industrial production requires a comprehensive assessment of biosafety risks for each bacterial species. Here, we introduce BacSafe, a novel database that integrates diverse domains of biosafety knowledge and evaluates bacterial risk across both clinical and environmental ...

Characterization of functional metabolites in broccoli by‐product using green extraction with supercritical fluids

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study aimed to valorize broccoli by‐products (leaves and stems) through the extraction of bioactive compounds using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). The influence of broccoli variety, plant part and maturation stage on total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity and antimicrobial properties was evaluated ...

Microbiological safety in the reuse of materials in home enteral nutrition: A quantitative in vitro experimental study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In home enteral nutrition (HEN), the reuse of packaging and administration materials beyond the recommended period, combined with inadequate hygiene practice, increase the risk of microbiological contamination. This study assessed the risk through a simulation that reproduced real‐world usage conditions and hygiene practices ...
