The food and feed sector requires new sustainable sources of protein innovative solutions for upcycling waste (former foodstuffs), which today is downcycled into energy or even wasted. This study aimed at evaluating the use former foodstuff streams as substrate Hermetia illucens (L.) larvae (black soldier fly larvae, BSFL) under long-term semi-industrial conditions. Different foodstuff-based mi...

Nitrogen and mineral (Fe, Mg, Na, K, and Ca) compositions of foodstuffs consumed by and dung produced by male, pregnant and lactating female adult Icelandic reindeer and calves were determined during May of 1992. Iron levels in foodstuffs are consistently above the reported toxicity level for similar-sized sheep (0.5 ppt) and may lead to iron toxicity when consumed by reindeer during periods of...

In 1990-1992, residents (12026 men and 11917 women aged 30 to 65 years) in 7 townships, Taiwan, were interviewed and recruited into a cancer-screening cohort and annually followed up. Colorectal cancer cases in this cohort were identified from cancer registry and death certificates. Incidence rates of this disease by the end of 2001 were calculated by gender for the primary study variable and c...

A novel yet simple, rapid and robust thermometric endpoint titration (TET) method for the determination of sodium in various foodstuffs is described. Sodium reacts exothermically with aluminium in the presence of an excess of potassium and fluoride ions to form NaK2AlF6 (“elpasolite”). This reaction forms the basis of a robust, reliable analytical procedure suitable for routine process control....

A study was conducted with a pilot-scale sterilization system based on 27-MHz radio frequency (RF) energy to investigate the effectiveness in shortening process time and in improving quality for foods sealed in 6pound military-ration polymeric trays. Chemical marker M-1 was used to evaluate heating uniformity in 20% whey protein gels as a model food, and macaroni and cheese was processed to ass...

Renin, a highly specific aspartic proteinase originated from kidney, is a ratelimiting enzyme in renin-angiotensin system. Recently, we developed effective expression system for recombinant human (rh) renin using baculovirus-insect cell expression system, and simple and rapid assay method for rh-renin using internally quenched fluorogenic (IQF) substrate. Using the purified rh-renin and the IQF...
