The ability of many bacteria to adhere to surfaces and to form biofilms has major implications in a variety of industries including the food industry, where biofilms create a persistent source of contamination. It is reported that biofilms are more resistant to antimicrobials compared to planktonic cells. The colonization of bacteria on the food processing surfaces and even the food structure, ...

BACKGROUND Neighborhood food cues have been inconsistently related to residents' health, possibly due to variations in residents' sensitivity to such cues. This study sought to investigate the degree to which children's predisposition to eat upon exposure to food environment and food cues (external eating), could explain differences in strength of associations between their food consumption and...

2. The development, raising and use of animals for human purposes, and in particular, for use for food, raise a variety of issues beyond food safety. Without prejudice to their legitimacy or importance, or to whether or how the use of recombinant-DNA methods in developing animals for food use might affect those issues, this Guideline addresses only food safety and nutritional issues. It therefo...

1.1. QCoh on a stack. We know that QCoh forms a stack, i.e., sheaf of groupoids, over Schfpqc(S) for any scheme S. Thus if we have an fpqc sheaf of groupoids X over S, we can define QCoh(X ) as maps of sheaves X → QCoh on Schfpqc(S). By 2-Yoneda, this definition agrees with the usual notion of quasicoherent sheaves if X is a scheme. For various other (usually equivalent) definitions in the case...

BACKGROUND Meal planning could be a potential tool to offset time scarcity and therefore encourage home meal preparation, which has been linked with an improved diet quality. However, to date, meal planning has received little attention in the scientific literature. The aim of our cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between meal planning and diet quality, including adherenc...

background: in this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly drosophila melanogaster model system.  methods: fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mm), s-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mm), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mm)). emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation hei...

Observational studies on leaf damage, gut content analyses, and crab behaviour have demonstrated that like numerous other mangrove and salt-marsh generalists, the mangrove tree crab Aratus pisonii feeds on a variety of food resources. This study is the first that experimentally tests feeding preferences of A. pisonii, as well as the first to test experimentally whether chemical composition of f...
