Mind the gap in the knowledge of the potential food applications of ultrasound based on its mechanism of action

2021

Abstract Ultrasound is recognized as one of the alternative green technologies that are used in food technology over the last decades. It is used for several purposes, such as analysis, preservation, emulsification, crystallization, homogenization, extraction, thawing, filtration, and drying. To achieve these purposes, ultrasound mainly consists of the application of acoustic waves generating mechanical and chemical phenomena that are fundamentally different compared with those applied in conventional methods. The principle of this technology aims to save energy, decreases the processing time, and improves the quality, safety, and shelf life of food products. In this regard, this book chapt…

[Loyauté des transactions sur un marché relatif aux attributs de croyance : une analyse appliquée aux produits agro-alimentaires]

2001

International audience; Après avoir décliné la typologie des caractéristiques des produits en termes d'attributs de recherche, d'expérience et de croyance, les auteurs soulignent les mécanismes susceptibles d'assurer l'efficacité des transactions marchandes. Afin de cerner les enjeux liés à la loyauté des transactions dans le cas des attributs de croyance, ils montrent à l'aide d'un jeu simple, le caractère crucial des phases de définition, de vérification et de signalement, ces dernières nécessitant généralement l'intervention d'agents extérieurs à la transaction marchande.

QUALITY PARAMETERS OF DAIRY WASTEWATER IN THE MUREŞ COUNTY, ROMANIA

2017

The objective of this study was to investigate the main quality indicators of wastewater in a dairy factory located in Mureş County, with a water treatment plant built recently. The wastewater samples were tested for extractable matter, total suspended matter, fixed residue, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and pH values. The results indicated that pollution levels of wastewater samples tested were found high. This means that the method of treatment does not have the necessary effectiveness that can cause high load of effluent in NH4+, total suspended solids, Chemical Oxygen Demand - COD-Cr, Biochemical Oxygen Demand - BOD5, pH for dairy wastewater fr…

SF002-96-1, a new drimane sesquiterpene lactone from an Aspergillus species, inhibits survivin expression

2013

Survivin, a member of the IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) gene family, is overexpressed in virtually all human cancers and is functionally involved in the inhibition of apoptosis, regulation of cell proliferation, metastasis and resistance to therapy. Because of its upregulation in malignancy, survivin has currently attracting considerable interest as a new target for anticancer therapy. In a screening of approximately 200 strains of imperfect fungi for the production of inhibitors of survivin promoter activity, a new drimane sesquiterpene lactone, SF002-96-1, was isolated from fermentations of an Aspergillus species. The compound inhibited survivin promoter activity in transiently transfected…

Health promoting benefits of PEF: bioprotective capacity against the oxidative stress and its impact on nutrient and bioactive compound bioaccessibil…

2020

Abstract Pulsed electric field (PEF) is a relative innovative technology of food treatment, which enables obtaining high-quality and safe food products. PEF treatment due to its affinity to cell electroporation has been used for the preservation of liquid foods. Nowadays, PEF can also be a useful tool for designing processes with a wide range of new applications such as production of healthy food products with enhanced beneficial properties for human health. An overview of the current literature shows the potential of PEF to enhance new functional properties of foods based on its ability to increase nutrients and bioactive compounds extractability. This process can lead to increased bioacce…

Enzyme class identification in cleaning products by hydrolysis followed by derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde, HPLC and linear discriminant analy…

2008

The enzymes present in raw materials of the cleaning industry (enzyme industrial concentrates) and in household cleaners were isolated by precipitation with acetone and hydrolyzed with HCl. The resulting amino acids were derivatized with o-phthaldialdehyde, and the derivatives were separated by HPLC. The peaks of 14 amino acids were observed using a C18 column and a multi-segmented gradient of acetonitrile-water in the presence of a 5 mM citric/citrate buffer of pH 6.5. Using either normalized peak areas (divided by the sum of the peak areas of the chromatogram) or ratios of pairs of peak areas as predictor variables, linear discriminant analysis models, capable of predicting the enzyme cla…

γ-Oryzanol and tocopherol contents in residues of rice bran oil refining

2012

Rice bran oil (RBO) contains significant amounts of the natural antioxidants γ-oryzanol and tocopherols, which are lost to a large degree during oil refining. This results in a number of industrial residues with high contents of these phytochemicals. With the aim of supporting the development of profitable industrial procedures for γ-oryzanol and tocopherol recovery, the contents of these phytochemicals in all the residues produced during RBO refining were evaluated. The samples included residues from the degumming, soap precipitation, bleaching earth filtering, dewaxing and deodorisation distillation steps. The highest phytochemical concentrations were found in the precipitated soap for γ-…

Determination of albendazole and ivermectin residues in cattle and poultry-derived samples from India by micellar liquid chromatography

2021

We have developed a method, based on micellar liquid chromatography, to determine albendazole and ivermectin in dairy products and biological waste from bovine, as well as edible tissues from poultry. Anthelmitics were resolved in less than 10 min using a C18 column and a mobile phase of 0.15 mol/L sodium dodecyl sulfate – 6% 1-pentanol at buffered at pH 7 with a 0.01 M phosphate salt, running under isocratic mode at 1 mL/min. Detection was by absorbance at 292 nm. Method was successfully validated following official validation guidelines, in terms of: selectivity, sensitivity, calibration range (0.0125−0.5 mg/kg to 25−50 mg/kg), linearity (r2 > 9990), trueness (86.3–105.6%), precision (<12…
