This study was conducted to examine the fate of Escherichia coli O157:H7 during the manufacture and aging of Gouda and stirred-curd Cheddar cheeses made from raw milk. Cheeses were manufactured from unpasteurized milk experimentally contaminated with one of three strains of E. coli O157:H7 at an approximate population level of 20 CFU/ml. Samples of milk, whey, curd, and cheese were collected fo...

The effect of boiling and roasting on the lipid quality, proximate composition, and mineral content of African walnut seeds (Tetracarpidium conophorum) was assessed. Results indicated that the quality of walnut oil significantly (p < .05) reduces with the treatments. Oils extracted from DBWN 60 min (Dried and boiled walnuts 60 min) and FBWN 60 min (Boiled fresh walnuts 60 min) were the most alt...

We determined the reliability of a 60-min treadmill protocol in heat when spaced >4 weeks apart, longer than test–retest duration 1 week found literature. Nine unacclimated, trained males (age: 31 ± 8 y; VO2peak: 60 6 ml∙kg−1∙min−1) undertook 15 min self-paced time-trial pre-loaded with 45 running at 70% individual ventilatory threshold (11.2 0.3 km∙h−1) 30 1°C (53 5% relative humidity). They r...

Background: Thiomersal (TM), a complex between 2-mercaptobenzoic acid (2-MBA) and ethylmercury (C2H5Hg + ), is an antimicrobial preservative used in immunological, ophthalmic, cosmetic products, vaccines. Objective: TM has been treated by UV/TiO 2 photocatalysis the presence or absence of oxygen at acidic pH. C H 5 Hg , 2-MBA, 2-sulfobenzoic (2-SBA) were found as products. A 2-SBA photocatalyti...
