Abstract:
... Herein, the morphological and genetic features of the larval specimens of anisakine nematode, isolated from Ylistrum japonicum (Pectinidae) collected from Japanese waters, were examined. Although the specimens were identified as members of the genus Sulcascaris, they were genetically divergent from Sulcascaris sulcata, which is currently the only member of the genus. The present study highlights t ...

Abstract:
... Natural plant extracts are primarily used as raw materials in the cosmetic and perfumery industry. However, adulterations with petrochemical products are occurring in the market, leading to non-100% natural products. Several analytical techniques such as impurity detection or enantioselective ratio assessments have been previously described as good indicators to detect any addition of synthetic pr ...

Abstract:
... Glycyrrhizinic acid (GA) is a natural compound found in licorice root and its extract, and is used in a large number of food products. It has been documented that excess consumption of licorice can cause adverse health effects, due to their content of GA. Mandatory labelling rules are therefore in place in the EU to inform consumers of the possible adverse health effects. In this study, 219 sample ...

The aim of this study was to define the desirable sensory and mechanical properties that a bread targeting elderly consumers should have and to understand whether the products currently present in the Italian market meet the desired requirements. Ten types of commercial bread having different formulations and manufacturing processes were characterized for moisture content, texture and parameters. ...
... Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has made adverse impacts on the economy of many countries, including Thailand where small-scale aquaculture was important for seafood supply and livelihood of the country. The objectives of this study were to describe the characteristics of small-scale aquaculture, identify the impacts of COVID-19 on small-scale aquaculture and adaptation of farmers to cope ...

Abstract:
... Although phthalate esters (PAEs) are plasticizers widely utilized nowadays to enhance the flexibility and processability of polymeric materials, their presence and detection in the food environment have become an important concern. In this study, phthalate esters (butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and diisononyl phthalate (DINP)) were detect ...

Abstract:
... The COVID-19 pandemic and related policy responses have exacerbated global food and nutrition insecurity by disrupting supply chains and destroying livelihoods. Previous studies show that the impact has been particularly severe for poor populations with limited livelihood options, who already faced food insecurity before the pandemic struck. This paper describes how COVID-19-related policy respons ...
