- Abstract:
- ... Sport supplements classified as foods (and not as medicine) must contain specified amounts and qualities of protein before a prescribed list of health-benefit claims may be made on labels or in marketing activities. The objective of the current study was to investigate the protein composition and quality of high-protein sports supplements currently available to consumers within South Africa, and p ...

- Abstract:
- ... INTRODUCTION: Annonaceous acetogenins (AAGs) constitute a group of environmental neurotoxins, possibly implicated in sporadic atypical Parkinsonism/dementia complexes. The recent evidencing of complex mixtures of AAGs in edible fruits and derived food products requires efficient and practical analytical tools for an estimation of human exposure. OBJECTIVE: To develop a simple method for the direct ...

- Abstract:
- ... 2,6‐Di‐tert‐butyl‐hydroxytoluene (BHT, E‐321) is a synthetic phenolic antioxidant which has been widely used as an additive in the food, cosmetic, and plastic industries for the last 70 y. Although it is considered safe for human health at authorized levels, its ubiquitous presence and the controversial toxicological data reported are of great concern for consumers. In recent years, special attent ...

Ten plant and one animal food have been approved for commercialization in the United States. Today, foods and ingredients from genetically engineered (GE) crops are present throughout the food supply, which has led to v ...

Lipid peroxidation yields a large number of aldehydes and carbonyl-containing compounds, of which the reactive and toxic compound 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) derived from ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-6 PUFAs) is the most extensively studied. The high reactivity of 4-HNE enables this compound to crosslink with various biomolecules and thus contribute to the pathological processes of several d ...

The osmotolerant and halotolerant food yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is known for its ability to grow and survive in the face of stress caused by high concentrations of non-ionic (sugars and polyols) and ionic (mainly Na+ cations) solutes. This ability determines the success of fermentation on high osmolarity food matrices and leads to spoilage of high sugar and high salt foods. The knowledge abo ...

- Abstract:
- ... Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are a food safety concern. Existing methods for biologically active SE detection rely on the emetic response in live kittens or monkeys. This method suffers from low sensitivity, poor reproducibility, and causes ethical concerns regarding the use of experimental animals. The Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act encourages the development and adoption of alternatives to ...

Ambient mass spectrometry is a tool of growing interest for the testing of foodstuffs over the fifteen years since the pioneering techniques of desorption electro-spray ionisation (DESI), direct analysis in real time (DART) and atmospheric pressure solid analysis probe (ASAP) were first demonstrated. In this study, rapid evaporative ionisation mass spectrometry (REIMS) was compared with DART to as ...

- Abstract:
- ... As the fourth most important food crop, potato plays a key role in food safety and economic development of the world. Harvested potato tubers can be stored for a long time, but sprouting and cold-induced sweetening (CIS) can seriously affect the quality of tubers during storage. One of the key pathways involved in CIS is starch degradation, in which both α-amylase and β-amylase play important role ...

- Abstract:
- ... Light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) possess unique properties that are highly suitable for several operations in the food industry. Such properties include low radiant heat emissions; high emissions of monochromatic light; electrical, luminous, and photon efficiency; long life expectancy, flexibility, and mechanical robustness. Therefore, they reduce thermal damage and degradation in crops and foods and ...

- ... Unsafe foods and water bodies are the leading cause of disease outbreaks in India and Escherichia coli (E. coli) contributes to the majority of food-borne illnesses in human beings. Elimination of food-borne pathogens is of paramount importance in food industries to ensure consumer food safety. Most of the decontamination techniques are thermal in nature and involve the usage of heat that can dama ...

- Abstract:
- ... Burden of disease metrics are increasingly established to prioritize food safety interventions. We estimated the burden of disease caused by seven foodborne pathogens in Denmark in 2017: Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli, norovirus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Toxoplasma gondii. We used public health surveillance data and scientific literatu ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cadmium (Cd) has been identified as one of the major heavy metals reaching the food chain through various geogenic and anthropogenic activities. In many East and South Asian countries including Japan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Korea, Cd accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) ecosystems and its subsequent transfer to the human food chain is a major environmental issue. Rice soils in these countrie ...

- Abstract:
- ... Bloomy rind cheeses, including Brie, Camembert, and related varieties, are at high risk of contamination by environmental pathogens during manufacture and ripening. This risk is particularly high during ripening due to open-air exposure of the product. Currently, no kill step is applied after manufacture or post ripening to control food safety risks associated with Listeria monocytogenes contamina ...

Independent studies are even fewer, moreover, no peer-reviewed publications exist in which the results of clinical investigations on the possible effects of GM food on human health are described. Even though the evaluation of the safety or possible toxicity of GM foodstuf ...

While only 55% of those contacted considered themselves well versed in biological control, over 80% were interested in the environment and nutrition. Women expressed more concern about food safety than men, whi ...

Therefore, determination of elements and their amounts is crucial for food safety and quality. In order to fulfill the increasing demand on multi-elemental information for product monitoring, rapid and sensi ...

Processing eliminates and/or prevents the microbes to proliferate and consequently spoil the food or cause a disease. It also affects other quality indices aiming at enhancing the shelf life of the product. The more mild the processes, the less their effect on the nutritional value of the products. A series of advanced ...

- Abstract:

In the succeeding years, demand for food engineers in industry has continued unabated, but the field, in an academic sense, has not quite lived up to its potential. Yet, the coming challenges of the 21st century offer many opportunities for persons with FE training. This article is based on a plenary session held du ...

These components are internationally well spread by Codex Alimentarius Commission as being the basis for setting science based standards, criteria on food safety hazards, e.g. setting maximum limits of mycotoxins in foodstuffs. However, the technical component risk assessment is ...

Mathematical description of the behavior of bacterial foodborne pathogens and concepts of risk assessment were first applied to spore-forming bacteria and specially to Clostridium botulinum with numerous works dealing with spores heat destruction to ensure the safety of canned foods or with their germination and growth probability in foods. This paper discusses two aspects which appear specific to ...
