A review on source-specific chemistry, functionality, and applications of chitin and chitosan

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2021
Chitin (CT), an abundant biopolymer, next to cellulose, constitutes a vital renewable resource obtained from diverse biological sources. Chitosan (CS), its main derivative, is valued for its ‘tunable’ feature that facilitates numerous optimizable ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Machine learning–based prediction and quality control of meat and meat products: applications for intelligent quality management in the meat industry

Food Science of Animal Resources
The quality of meat and meat products critically affects consumer acceptance, market value, and food safety. Traditional quality evaluation methods rely on labor-intensive, destructive, and time-consuming analytical techniques, limiting their application

Inhibitory effect of natural extract mixtures on microbial growth and lipid oxidation of sausages during storage

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2023
Large amounts of additives are used during meat product processing to maintain product quality and shelf life. With the growing interest in healthy foods, natural plant-based additives are being used as alternatives to synthetic additives. In this study,

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Comparison of volatile aroma compounds and consumer perception between domestic and imported milk in Korea

Food Science of Animal Resources
This study analyzed the volatile aroma compounds and compared consumer acceptance of domestic and imported milk in Korea through blind and informed sensory evaluations. Seven milk samples, including four domestic (two refrigerated and two sterilized) and

Physicochemical and textural properties of emulsions prepared from the larvae of the edible insects Tenebrio molitor, Allomyrina dichotoma, and Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2021
The use of edible insects to replace meat protein is important to ensure future global food security. However, processed foods using edible insects require development to enhance consumer perception.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.
