Ulva spp. (sea lettuce) has recently gained attention as a sustainable protein source due to its high productivity and many nutritional properties interesting for the food industry. In this study, we explored possible industrial symbiosis between herring production processing industries fenestrata cultivation. We show that U. cultivated in process waters had four six times higher biomass yields...

BACKGROUND Information on the absorption of cholesterol oxidation products (COP) from ordinary foodstuff in humans is scarce. METHODS Five healthy young men were offered a salami- and Parmesan-containing meal naturally rich in COP. Plasma and lipoprotein COP concentrations were measured over the following 9 h. RESULTS The mean plasma free (nonesterified) COP concentration showed its maximal...

The effects of germinated barley foodstuff (GBF) deriyed from the aleurone and scutell"m fractions of germinated barley low-lignified hemicellulose were examined in Spraglle-Dawley rats with constipation induced by loperamide by addition to the diet (2mg!kg body weight). Bowel moyements were higher in the GBF-fed rats than in the cellulose-fed rats used as a control. Fecal water content was als...

Agroforestry is an environmentally friendly land resource management applied by farmers in various countries. The differences ethnicity, geography, biophysical environment, and socio-economic background influence the application of this agricultural model, known as indigenous agroforestry. However, information on ecosystem services agroforestry semi-arid ecosystems not widely known. This resear...

The Caribbean region has long been characterised by mono-crop agriculture for export while relying on costly imported goods to meet basic needs, a lingering legacy of plantation economies. Since World War II the trend has become increasingly evident in a regional shift away from domestic production of agricultural foodstuff s, resulting in an agricultural deficit as production decreased and foo...

“Negative claims” can be defined as claims indicating that certain ingredients, nutrients or substances are not present in a foodstuff. Legitimate uses of regulated negative claims in the EU include some nutrition claims and “gluten-free” claims. Some EUMember States have legislated on “GM-free” claims. The article describes in more detail some cases (i.e., BPA-free, MSG-free, Aspartame-free an...

Three clinically healthy Labrador puppies developed ataxia, hypermetria and convulsions shortly after eating the burnt crust of maize porridge. Two of the puppies died. Acrylamide toxicity was considered based on the history of all 3 puppies developing nervous signs after being exposed to a starch-based foodstuff that was subjected to high temperature during preparation. Acrylamide-induced neur...

Obligate aerobes have respiratory metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Therefore, they can produce ROS and oxidative damages in foodstuff which is contaminated. The egg yolks were incubated with different dilution of standard of E.coli and lipid peroxidation was assayed. The level of lipid peroxidation of high group (10 7 ) was 0.061±0.01 as compared with control; 0.016±0.0...

Abdominal pain is a common complaint at the family physician's office. Small-bowel obstruction is included in the differential diagnosis. Many patients with obstruction have a history of previous abdominal surgeries as the cause of obstruction, but mechanical obstruction is another common cause. Mechanical obstruction can be caused by an ingested foreign body or foodstuff. This case is the firs...

In this work the stability properties of a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) with state-dependent parameters is investigated. Among other things, the PDE describes freezing of foodstuff, and is closely related to the (Potential) Burgers’ Equation. We show that for certain forms of coefficient functions, the PDE converges to a stationary solution given by (fixed) boundary conditions ...
