Within the framework of the European project EcoBioCap (ECOefficient BIOdegradable Composite Advanced Packaging), aiming at conceiving the next generation of food packagings, we introduce an argumentation-based tool for management of conflicting viewpoints between preferences expressed by the involved parties (food and packaging industries, health and waste management etc.).

The ascomycetous yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii is one of the most problematic spoilage yeasts in food and beverage industries, due to its exceptional resistance to various stresses. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these stress resistance phenotypes might help develop strategies to improve food quality. Thus, we determined and annotated the genome sequence of the s...

Glutaminase (EC.3.5.1.2), it is found in many in many eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell, glutaminase can be used in food industries as flavor enhancer, pseudomonas fluorescens and vibiro casticola may be added to some kinds of food to give a popular flavor [1]. Glutaminase is used in oral dehydration solution since it transforms glutamine which helps in absorption of ions in small intestine [2]. ...

BACKGROUND Public health's terms of engagement with unhealthy commodity industries (alcohol, tobacco and ultra-processed food and drinks) have become increasingly contested in policy and research. We sought to identify approaches that could attract consensus support within and across policy domains. METHODS Using snowball sampling, we undertook an online survey of 335 health researchers, advo...

Starch is one of the most important polymers for humanity: It comprises the largest single component of our food energy, and is also an important industrial polymer, for example, it is used in papermaking, biofuels, and the food and pharmaceutical industries as an additive with diverse uses. On one level, it is simple: a polymer of ➤ Starch is the largest component of our food energy and has im...
