  8. Smog induces oxidative stress and microbiota disruption

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • Smog is created through the interactions between pollutants in the air, fog, and sunlight. Air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, heavy metals, nitrogen oxides, ozone, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic vapors, and particulate matters, can induce oxidative stress in human directly or indirectly through the formation of reactive oxygen species. The outermost boundary of human skin and mucous layers are covered by a complex network of human-associated microbes.

  11. Dietary exposure to acrylamide from cafeteria foods in Jeddah schools and associated risk assessment

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      BACKGROUND

      Acrylamide (AA) is a carcinogenic and genotoxic food contaminant produced at high temperatures in foods that are rich in carbohydrates. Foods sold in schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, are among such carbohydrate-rich foods produced at high cooking temperatures. It is crucial to determine the importance of AA exposure due to cafeteria foods and to assess the associated risks.

    • Toxins

    • Different in vitro and in silico approaches from our research group have demonstrated that neutral electrolyzed water (NEW) can be used to detoxify aflatoxins. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the ability of NEW to detoxify B-aflatoxins (AFB1 and AFB2) in contaminated maize and to confirm detoxification in an in vivo experimental model. Batches of aflatoxin-contaminated maize were detoxified with NEW and mixed in commercial feed.

  19. Control of recombination directionality by the Listeria phage A118 protein Gp44 and the coiled-coil motif of its serine integrase

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The serine integrase of phage A118 catalyzes integrative recombination between attP on the phage and a specific attB locus on the chromosome of Listeria monocytogenes but is unable to promote excisive recombination between the hybrid attL and attR sites found on the integrated prophage without assistance from a Recombination Directionality Factor (RDF). We have identified and characterized the phage-encoded RDF, Gp44, which activates the A118 integrase for excision and inhibits integration.

  20. Approach for Pesticide Residue Analysis for Metabolite Prothioconazole-desthioin Animal Origin Food

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Food safety problems such as damage to immune, nervous, and endocrine systems leading to cancer and malformations have received increasing attention. To achieve the maximum residue limits, the most discussed method of high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) is widely used with a advantage of high precision and resolution. Prothioconazole is a broad-spectrum thiocarbamate fungicide.
