The effect of gamma radiation (1, 3 and 5 kGy) on microbial quality of farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets which were stored under frozen conditions (-20° C) was studied by measuring microbiological changes in 5 months. Gamma irradiation and increasing of frozen storage time had significant effects (P < /i>

We describe here a simple, fast, and reliable bioassay method for therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole. Fifty-eight clinical and external quality control samples were evaluated with this microbiological assay, and results were compared with those obtained with a previously validated chromatographic method. A good correlation between both assays was observed. This particular microbiologic...

Abstract Burullus Lake, which is the second-largest coastal lagoon in Egypt, deteriorating due to nutrient enrichment and pollutant loading. The study aims assess lake’s water quality using indices microbiological assessment. Surface samples were collected from Lake winter summer, as well drains that discharge waste into lake. Most lake stations are classified marginal category based on index (...

Following the discovery of discoloration on some pages of the Atlantic Codex (AC) of Leonardo da Vinci kept in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, some investigations have been carried out to verify the presence of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. To verify the presence of microorganisms a noninvasive method of sampling has been used that was efficient and allowed us to highlight the...

The quality has always been a requirement of safety in the modern economy in Algeria; it is also an ongoing concern, if not a priority or a necessity as well and foremost for the consumer and for the producer and the processor, activating within the chain of production and marketing of milk and dairy products. Series of analyzes were performed on milk powder as raw material and the reconstitute...

background: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is a major public health problem worldwide. smoking is the number one cause of copd; however, genetic, environmental and dietary factors contribute to the etiology of this disease. in this study, we assessed the association between three diet quality indices -the healthy eating index-2005 (hei-2005), the healthy eating index-2010 (hei-201...

Lesser African threadfin (Galeoides decadactylus) is a nutritious marine fish, popular and widely used for drying-fermentation. The present work aims to evaluate the nutritional and microbiological quality of dried-fermented Lesser African Threadfin, currently used in food preparing in southern Benin. Four major sites of drying-fermentation fishes in southern Benin were investigated and dried-f...

The manufacturing of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as cell-based products for clinical use should be performed with appropriate controls that ensure its safety and quality. The use of hMSCs in cell therapy has increased considerably in the past few years. In line with this, the assessment and management of contamination risks by microbial agents that could affect the quality of cells and...

Within groups of similar proteins-for example whale-meat meals or fish meals of different manufacturethere may be large differences in nutritive quality but only relatively small differences in amino acid composition. From chemical and microbiological tests (Bunyan & Price, 1960; Ford, 1962) it appears that the differences in quality may not be specifically related to any one amino acid but ref...

Falling back past few years rapid progress in Air pollution has become a life-threatening concern many nations throughout the world due to human activity, industrialisation, and urbanisation.. As result of these activities, sulphur oxides, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen monoxide (CO), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), lead, mercury, other pollutants be emitted into atmosphere. Simultaneously, estimati...
