probiotics, living microorganisms which when used in adequate amounts, have health benefits on the host, have attracted a considerable deal of interest in the biotechnology market. various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes have been studied for probiotic purposes in human and animals. lactobacillus and bifidobacterium are the main probiotic genera; however, there are reports on the probiotic p...

Le r61e knergktique, structural et fonctionnel des acides gras a longue chaine (AGLC) dans l’organisme depend de leur biodisponibilitk intestinale. Les donnkes actuelles tendent a montrer que deux mkcanismes distincts et complkmentaires permettent aux AGLC de traverser la membrane apicale de l’entkrocyte: une diffusion simple et un transport faisant intervenir au moins deux protkines membranair...

According to the gravitational suppression (GraS) hypothesis the gravitational interaction between exotic (dark) and standard (visible) matter is suppressed below the kpc scales. We review the phenomenological motivations at the basis of this idea and its formal implementation by means of a Yukawa contribution to the usual Newtonian potential. We also discuss a class of astrophysical phenomena ...

The effect of combining irradiation and heat (i.e., irradiation followed by heat [IR-H]) on Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Senftenberg inoculated into liquid whole egg (LWE) with added nisin, EDTA, sorbic acid, carvacrol, or combinations of these GRAS (generally recognized as safe) additives was investigated. Synergistic reductions of Salmonella populations were observed when LWE samples...
