While the Internet-of-Things has already fueled a plethora of different possibilities, we are still in need means to mitigate inefficiencies cold chain generating every year massive food and drug waste, even causing serious illnesses. This is caused by lack remote sensing technologies suitable for widespread deployment able timely mark any cooled items exposed inadequate temperatures. work intr...

In recent years, bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have shown great potential for food safety preservation, especially ready-to-eat products. this study, bio-protective membrane was made from plasma-treated polypropylene film and functionalized with Carnobacterium divergens V41 (bacteriocin-producing strain) the purpose of inhibiting Listeria monocytogenes growth in culture me...

Food waste is one of the main problems contributing to climate change, as its piling up in landfills produces greenhouse gas methane. occurs at every stage food production; however, a major source businesses that supply consumers. Industry 4.0 technologies have shown promise helping reduce chains. However, more innovative technologies, such Raman spectroscopy, hold great waste, although this ha...

Numerous studies demonstrated that winter melons (Benincasa hispida) have a long storage life at 20°C without quality and flavor degradation in fruit. However, fruit for processing are frequently handled under refrigerated conditions or exposed to warehouse air conditioning. Therefore, this research aimed evaluate whether short high- low-temperature of fruit, prior processing, changes the nutri...

42 Abstract Background: Blood gas analysis is a widely used procedure. In clinical practice, the physicians may not always have a blood gas analyzer in their proximity. Not infrequently, blood gas samples are stored in a fridge or on ice and read retrospectively. Continued anaerobic and aerobic metabolism in the blood may alter blood gases in the interval between drawing arterial blood and its ...

The history of the development of methods of bone transplantation is too long and the literature too voluminous to permit of any but the most superficial review in this paper. Ollier is credited with the first clinical experiment when in 1859 he transplanted a rabbit’s radius into an ununited fracture of the tibia. Macewen in 1881 first suggested the transplantation of bone from amputated limbs...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nisin in combination with different types of packaging on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat low-fat turkey bologna. Bologna was inoculated with L. monocytogenes exposed to 1 of 6 treatments: 3 packaging treatments (100% CO2, air, vacuum), each with and without nisin. Bologna was refrigerated and sampled 9 ti...

Consumers are often confused by the product dating systems used by the food manufacturers. However, they have reported that they consider these dates when purchasing lunchmeats and other ready-to-eat foods. A study was conducted to evaluate changes of microbiological quality of packaged lunchmeat during refrigerated storage as related to the sell-by-date (SBD). Thirty packages of lunchmeat with...
