OBJECTIVE The effectiveness of influenza vaccination in preventing illness is lower in the elderly; this is why the ability of Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 7315/7316 to stimulate the response to influenza vaccination in elderly was evaluated. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial including 60 institutionalized volunteers aged 65-85 years wa...

Projections cover consumption, production, trade prices milk, fresh products, butter, cheese, skim milk powder whole powder. The concludes with a discussion of key risks uncertainties which could have implications over next decade.

Bacteriophage lytic enzymes have recently attracted considerable interest as novel antimicrobials against Gram-positive bacteria. In this work, antimicrobial activity in milk of HydH5 [a virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolase (VAPGH) encoded by the Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage vB_SauS-phiIPLA88], and three different fusion proteins created between HydH5 and lysostaphin has been assess...

Blue pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) is known as the source of anthocyanin and has potential a natural blue dye. The present study aimed to determine effect additional (BPFE) yogurt from various types milk. used dried flowers, extracted with water in 3:1 (g.L-1) ratio, at extraction condition 60 ˚C 45 minutes. fermentation was processed by adding BPFE (A) liquid skim milk, (B) ultra-high temp...

Development of malodourous compounds, hexanal and p-vinyl guaiacol (PVG), in UHT model liquid systems fortified with wholegrain oat were evaluated. Single and mixed systems using oat powder (3, 5, and 7% w/w), skim milk powder (SMP, 2.8% w/w) and sucrose (6.7% w/w) were subjected to UHT treatment and 29 days ambient storage. Both chromatographic analyses and panellists' perceived aroma intensit...

Cow’s milk has been found to contain a lipoprotein lipase similar to those previously demonstrated in post-heparin plasma, adipose tissue, and heart. Upon separation of the milk, most of the enzyme was found in the skim milk, although some was present in the cream from which it could be isolated with a relatively high specific activity. The triglycerides of cream were not hydrolyzed by the lipo...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Although flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) is an established diagnostic tool, little data exist on the effects of varying liquid types on the swallowing outcomes in healthy older adults. STUDY DESIGN Prospective. METHODS Seventy-six healthy older adult volunteers participated (i.e., 18, 28, and 30 volunteers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th decades of life, r...
