One ecological environment monitoring system of Litopenaeus vannamei farming has been developed in order to protect and regulate the ecological environment of Litopenaeus vannamei farming, halt and reverses the situations in the ecological environment deterioration of Litopenaeus vannamei farming and the little farming success rate. The early warning information of ecological environment degrad...

a r t i c l e i n f o Recently, several groups of researchers reported that besides serine proteinases, other classes of proteinases may be involved in crustacean's food protein digestion, including cysteine and aspartic proteinases. In this paper, a comparative study of the class and type of digestive proteinases of whiteleg shrimp Penaeus vannamei, blue shrimp Penaeus stylirostris, and yellow...

A significant challenge facing the world today is the expected 34% increase in the human population by 2050, which will require 70% more food from existing natural and land resources (FAO, 2009). Thus, the efficiency of natural resource use must be improved to meet the food security goals for a growing population while protecting the environment (FAO, 2009). Due to their ability to utilize cell...

Methods Serum allergen-specific IgE of 105 subjects were quantified using ImmunoCAP and ImmunoCAP ISAC biochips. The subjects were classified based on a convincing clinical history and food challenge testing (FC) (dose=70g) to Penaeus monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei. Group1A: Either SA with FC positive to either shrimp (n =22) or SA admitted to emergency departments for severe reactions but no...

BACKGROUND β-carotene is a carotenoid compound that has been widely used not only in the industrial production of pharmaceuticals but also as nutraceuticals, animal feed additives, functional cosmetics, and food colorants. Currently, more than 90% of commercial β-carotene is produced by chemical synthesis. Due to the growing public concern over food safety, the use of chemically synthesized β-c...
