The effect of refrigerated storage of raw milk on the physicochemical and microbiological quality of Tunisian semihard Gouda‐type cheese during ripening

International Journal of Dairy Technology — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:29:44 +0100

A Tunisian semihard Gouda‐type cheese made from milk kept at 4 °C for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h was monitored during 45 days of ripening. The effect of milk refrigeration on the evolution of physicochemical parameters in relation to the quantitative variation of the microbial population during ripening of Gouda‐type cheese was investigated. Microbiological and physicochemical analyses were performed on raw milk and cheese samples after curding, 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37 and 45 days of ripening time. The raw milk kept under refrigeration at 4 °C for 96 h showed the highest microbial count and proteolysis level. The duration of storage significantly reduced the cheese yield as a result of important solubilisation casein in proteoses‐peptones. Results of different nitrogenous fractio...

The role of probiotics in gastrointestinal surgery

Nutrition — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:10:15 +0100

Abstract: The intestinal microbiota, which is a complex and dynamic population of different bacterial species, represents an important contribution to the health of the host. This microbiota plays a key role by promoting the integrity of the epithelial barrier and the development of mucosal immunity. However, under some stressful situations, such as after gastrointestinal surgery, infectious complications may originate from the intestinal microbiota of the patient. This phenomenon is known as the gut origin of sepsis hypothesis. However, the supply of probiotics has beneficial effects under similar conditions despite some controversial results. Therefore, it is important to carefully assess the efficacy of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of complications in surgical patients and...

Anticancer activity of bovine α‐lactalbumin treated with microbial transglutaminase

International Journal of Dairy Technology — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:24:09 +0100

This study investigated the effects of bovine α‐lactalbumin (α‐La) treated with microbial transglutaminase on human cancer cells, cell cultures and growth rate assays. The anticancer activity for 10 mg/mL of bovine α‐lactalbumin (α‐La) was measured as ∼90% in a human colorectal cancer cell line HCT 116. For the human bone cancer cell line SJSA‐1, α‐La hydrolysis resulted in higher cytotoxicity compared to untreated tumour cells. The formation of polymers of α‐La was suppressed by the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, indicating that polymers of α‐La are promoted by metal ions such as Ca2+. The effect of α‐La on the morphology of SJSA‐1 cells was manifested as morphological changes compatible with apoptosis. Bovine milk α‐La with and without mic...

Are You Eating Your Sexual Desire?

Psychology Today Food and Diet Center — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:56:48 +0100

Eating is accessible and provides an immediate rush of pleasure. Eating compulsively can also put us in a kind of trance state and numb us for what we may be really wanting. This does beg the question: "Why are we substituting food for sex?"read more (Source: Psychology Today Food and Diet Center)

Location, Location, Location: Eye-Tracking Evidence that Consumers Preferentially View Prominently Positioned Nutrition Information
