Vegan diet—alternative protein sources as potential allergy risk

Cereals as protein sources.

For at least 5000 years cereals have predominated as the arable crop grown to provide food for man and animals in the temperate climatic zones. They have been regarded as sources of energy and foods such as breads, spaghetti, chapattis, etc., require the addition of other protein sources to provide a satisfactory balanced diet. But cereals do contain significant amounts of protein, especially i...

Magnetotactic Bacteria as Potential Sources of Bioproducts

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) produce intracellular organelles called magnetosomes which are magnetic nanoparticles composed of magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4) enveloped by a lipid bilayer. The synthesis of a magnetosome is through a genetically controlled process in which the bacterium has control over the composition, direction of crystal growth, and the size and shape of the mineral cry...

Salvia species as potential essential oil sources in Hungary

In the course of the evaluation of the species belonging to the Section Salvia of the genus Salvia (Family Lamiaceae) the essential oil content and the composition of the species have been investigated with special respect to their neurotoxic α-, and β-thujone content. It could be established that from among the species S. lavandulifolia Vahl., S. candelabru Boiss., S. tomentosa Mill., (S. gran...

Arabian Red Sea coastal soils as potential mineral dust sources

Both Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) satellite observations suggest that the narrow heterogeneous Red Sea coastal region is a frequent source of airborne dust that, because of its proximity, directly affects the Red Sea and coastal urban centers. The potential of soils to be suspended as airborne mineral dust depen...
