  2. Standards and labeling of milk fat and spread products in different countries

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • In the present paper, we provide comprehensive information related to labeling claims and standards of identity of milk fat and spread products. By reviewing the standards and regulations for dairy and non-dairy fat products, Codex Alimentarius and several other countries have clearly specified these products and set the requirements for use of the product name to prevent misleading or confusing the consumers.

  6. Antibacterial isoeugenol coating on stainless steel and polyethylene surfaces prevents biofilm growth

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      Pathogenic bacteria can spread between individuals or between food items via the surfaces they share. Limiting the survival of pathogens on surfaces therefore presents an opportunity to limit at least one route of how pathogens spread. In this study we propose that a simple coating with the essential oil isoeugenol can be used to circumvent the problem of bacterial transfer via surfaces.

  9. Evaluation of the addition of organic acids in the feed and/or water for broilers and the subsequent recovery of Salmonella Typhimurium from litter and ceca 1

    • Poultry Science

    • AbstractThree separate broiler Salmonella Typhimurium challenge experiments were conducted evaluating efficacy of formic and propionic acid feed supplements to suppress environmental and cecal Salmonella Typhimurium prevalence. In experiment 1, broilers were provided feed with 1 kg/ton formic acid or 5 kg/ton propionic acid feed additives or a basal control diet.

      Introduction

      Diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a major challenge in neonatology. Most molecular-based methods are not customized for neonatal requirements. The aim of the present study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a modified multiplex PCR protocol for the detection of neonatal sepsis using small blood volumes.

  21. Preharvest Ultraviolet C Irradiation Increased theLevel of Polyphenol Accumulation and Flavonoid Pathway Gene Expressionin Strawberry Fruit

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Preharvest ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation is an innovative approach for increasing the bioactive phytochemical content of strawberries to increase the disease resistance and nutritional value. This study investigated the changes in individual flavonoids in strawberry developed with three different cumulative doses of preharvest UV-C treatment (low, 9.6 kJ m–2; middle, 15 kJ m–2; and high , 29.4 kJ m–2).
