Abstract:
... In the search for a normalized procedure to replicate and compare single cell-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SC-ICP-MS) experiments, SELM-1, a certified reference material containing selenium enriched yeast cells has been used. Selenium concentrations (both, intra- and extracellular) have been measured using either sequential or simultaneous procedures. Regarding quantitative result ...

Abstract:
... Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma, as a new nonthermal technology, has attracted increasing attention in pesticide degradation. In this study, DBD plasma was used to degrade carbendazim (MBC) in aqueous solution. Under the optimal conditions (160 kv, 50 Hz), MBC solution (0.5 μg/mL) was degraded by 89.04% after plasma treatment for 10 min. Four MBC degradation products were identified ...

Abstract:
... In this study, yeast and soy protein at different ratios (0:1, 1:9, 2:8, 3:7, 4:6, and 5:5) were used to produce meat analogues (MA) via high-moisture extrusion. According to color analysis, the addition of yeast protein (YP) increased the lightness of MA from 43.12 ± 0.26 (the control) to 50.37 ± 0.46 (50 g/100 g, dry basis). Textural results indicated that when the YP content was 40 g/100 g (dry ...

Abstract:
... Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic metal that contaminates water and land and enters humans through plants. In the present study, using a differential display analysis, we observed that VARIANT IN METHYLATION (VIM1; a DNA methylation modulator) was induced by As(III) in As(III)-tolerant NtCyc07-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis. Therefore, the roles of VIM1 and DNA methylation in As(III) tolerance and ...

Abstract:
... Rosé wines show large color diversity, due to different phenolic pigment compositions. However, the mechanisms responsible for such diversity are poorly understood. The present work aimed at investigating the impact of fermentation on the color and composition of rosé wines made from Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah grapes. Targeted MS analysis showed large varietal differences in must and wine compo ...

Abstract:
... In oenology, there is a growing demand by consumers for wines produced with less inputs (such as sulphite, frequently used for microbial control). Emerging control methods for managing microorganisms in wine are widely studied. In this study, the efficiency of pulsed light (PL) treatment was investigated. A drop-platted system was used to evaluate the impact of three PL operational parameters: the ...

Abstract:
... Yeasts comprise a divergent group of microorganisms playing an important role in foods production. To monitor the production processes, validate authenticity and safety of foods, reliable methods of yeast identification and differentiation are needed. Nowadays, traditional PCR/sequencing-based methods are replaced by rapid techniques not requiring post-PCR processing. In the present study, we deve ...
... With the worldwide emergence of health challenges facing humanity in the form of associated immunity and intestinal health, the utilization of effective probiotics is becoming prevalent. We developed a sustainable, biocompatible, rigid, and long-lasting enteric coating system using pH-responsive natural-based materials, shellac (Sh), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) which could be utilized as a ca ...
... Yeasts play a critical role in the flavor formation of dry-cured ham. In this study, 41 yeast isolates from the dry-cured ham at different processing stages were evaluated for their technological properties. Debaryomyces hansenii was the most dominant yeast and has been detected at each phase of dry-cured ham, followed by Candida zeylanoides which was mainly detected in salting phase. Yarrowia bub ...

Abstract:
... The B3 superfamily comprises a class of transcription factors containing B3 functional domains that play crucial roles in plant growth and development. However, the identification and analysis of the B3 superfamily have not been reported in pecans. In this study, 75 B3 superfamily members were identified and divided into four families, namely ARF (31), RAV (10), LAV (8), and REM (26). The gene str ...
... This study evaluated the inoculation of Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Bacillus licheniformis, separately or in co-culture, in wet-processed conilon coffee. Wet fermentation was conducted for 48 h. Mesophilic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi were counted during fermentation. The inoculation of B. licheniformis and M. guilliermondii stimulated the multiplication of lacti ...

Abstract:
... The formation and growth of ice crystals are widely acknowledged to cause damage to different substances and we found short-clustered maltodextrin (SCMD) could alleviate the quality deterioration of frozen dough in previous research. But how SCMD interacts with dough components such as yeast is poorly understood. Here, we analyze the ice-recrystallization-inhibition (IRI) activity of SCMD and prov ...

The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of using innovative single- and double-layer films with antioxidant properties as packaging materials for vegetarian products. A further objective of the study was to evaluate the degree of biodegradation and potential toxicity with regard ...
... A range of spreads and dips as novel vegetarian ready-to-eat foods are being introduced on the (European) retail market to response to an increasing number of vegetarian’/flexitarian’ consumers and the shift towards plant-based foods consumption. This innovative food group was explored by a product survey (n = 369) in Belgium. The spreads and dips were classified on the presence of main ingredient ...
... A novel quinolimide derivative (BNAL), bearing the amide-DPA receptor at position 9 of the heterocyclic ring, was synthesized for sequential detection of Cd²⁺ and S²⁻. BNAL could discriminate Cd²⁺ from Zn²⁺, showing the turn-on response upon interaction with Cd²⁺. After adding S²⁻, the fluorescence of the BNAL-Cd²⁺ solution was reverted through the displacement strategy. The limits of detection (L ...
... The critical role of the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex in transcription is commonly attributed to its nucleosome sliding activity. Here, we have found that INO80 prefers to mobilize hexasomes over nucleosomes. INO80’s preference for hexasomes reaches up to ∼60 fold when flanking DNA overhangs approach ∼18-bp linkers in yeast gene bodies. Correspondingly, deletion of INO80 significantly affect ...
