Abstract As a widely consumed foodstuff, milk and dairy products are increasingly studied over the years. At present time, profiling is used as benchmark to assess properties of milk. Modern biomolecular mass spectrometers have become invaluable fully characterize composition. This review reports analysis its components using liquid chromatography coupled with spectrometry (LC–MS). LC–MS whole ...

Abstract Intensive agriculture has led to several environmental impacts, such as soil erosion, water scarcity, and pesticide pollution. Despite the increasing research advocating greener agriculture, transition into sustainable practices been slower than expected. Then, why are we stuck in this transition? In scientific essay, aimed answer question not only by analyzing agricultural systems but...

The search for natural, functional, and healthy products based on local knowledge continues, such as sacha inchi (SI) or Plukenetia volubilis L. (Euphorbiaceae). This plant has long been used by the Icha tribe in Peru because it a high protein vegetable oil content. study aims to explain potential use of SI food ingredient traditional medicine. method is library research using data obtained onl...

We present a compact portable chip-based capillary electrophoresis system that employs capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CD) operating at 4 MHz as an alternative detection method compared to the commonly used optical detection employing laser-induced fluorescence. The disposable chip for this system is fabricated out of PMMA using injection molding; the electrodes are scr...

Parvalbumins beta (β-PRVBs) are considered the major fish allergens. A new strategy for the rapid and direct detection of these allergens in any foodstuff is presented in this work. The proposed methodology is based on the purification of β-PRVBs by treatment with heat, the use of accelerated in-solution trypsin digestion under an ultrasonic field provided by High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (...

Comparison of various indices of deterioration of refrigerated fish fillets showed that the direct bacterial count can be used to predict the storage life of the foodstuff. For direct counts, a thin film made from fillet surface material was spread on a microscope slide, stained, and read. Initial counts were found to correlate well with keeping quality; a period of freshness of 24 or 48 hr at ...

  ABSTRACTBackground : The presence of primordial radionuclide in human habitats has always been a source of prolonged exposure. Measurement of naturally occurring radionuclides in the environment can be used as baseline to evaluate the impact of non-nuclear activities and also routine releases from nuclear installations.   Materials and methods: A total of 56 samples from 18 different foodstuf...
