In this study, the effects of chitosan film (1 and 2%) containing rosemary essential oil (1%) in free nanoliposome forms were investigated on physicochemical, microbial, organoleptic, oxidation characteristics chicken burgers during storage (day 1, day 10, 20) at 4°C. The results showed that decreased pH, total volatile basic nitrogen compounds (TVB-N), parameters (peroxide value thiobarbituric...

AIMS This study investigates changes in microbiological and physicochemical parameters during large-scale, thermophilic composting of a single batch of municipal organic waste. The inter-relationships between the microbial biomass and community structure as well as several physicochemical parameters and estimates of maturation were evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Analyses of signature fatty ac...

Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented negativestrand ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus that is unique among viruses of the order Mononegavirales in its genomic organisation, nuclear localisation for replication and transcription, splicing and neurotropism. Most reports of natural infection have described outbreaks in horses and sheep in central Europe; however, the virus appears to be distribu...

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) industries suffer inadequate effluent treatment due to the presence of recalcitrant substances, insufficient carbon source and nutrients. Biodegradation is the ability of microorganisms to metabolize pollutants in soil, sediment and water environment. There is great awareness in the positive impact that microorganisms play in protecting environm...

The aim of this study was to establish the physicochemical, sensory and microbiological quality ovine whey-based fruit beverages produced from pasteurised whey (mango flavoured–sugar sweetened [M-Su], pineapple flavoured–extra sugar [P-ESu], tropical flavoured–stevia [T-St]), changes in these beverage types during 15-day storage. were evaluated for their pH, colour, sediment particle size distr...
