The chlorimuron-ethyl-degrading bacterium LW3 was isolated from contaminated soil and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as Pseudomonas sp. When chlorimuron-ethyl provided the sole nitrogen source, degradation efficiency in liquid medium about 81.0% after 7 days of inoculation with strain LW3. effects concentration temperature on biodegradation were examined. Two metabolites analyzed LC/MS. Based products, seemed to be able degrade cleavage sulfonylurea bridge. chlorimuron-ethyl-treated...
Summary The aim of present study was to prepare the micro size fish bone dispersion (F.B) by a novel method and fortified in snacks based on wheat flour (W.F) with meat (F.M) addition. A formulation blend W.F 10–50 g, potato powder (P.P) 0–40 F.M 0–30 g F.B 0–20 used investigate different responses using response surface methodology ( RSM ). results revealed that significantly P < 0.05) influenced protein content inverse relation water holding capacity WHC ) hardness. Whereas, increased...
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a hepatocarcinogenic compound found in milk from lactating individuals receiving diets contaminated with aflatoxin B1. Considering the AFM1 resistance to conventional processing methods applied products, novel approaches have been proposed efficiently decontaminate AFM1. This review focuses on recent occurrence data of and physical, chemical biological for decontamination AFM1, dairy products. Occasionally, high levels reported, mainly African countries. Adsorption...
The world is facing an alarming situation in terms of pollution, with water contamination being a critical concern for scientists aiming to protect the ecosystem. Contaminants produced from municipal, industrial, commercial, and agricultural processes, along domestic activities, pose serious threats aquatic life human welfare. Addressing these pollutants requires attention. Various physical, chemical, biological approaches are used purification, each showing different levels efficacy. Recent...
In this study, the changes in enzyme activities, total polyphenols, phenolic profile, and physicochemical properties from thermally (25–75 °C) high-pressure carbon dioxide (HP-CO2) (25–65 °C/20 MPa)-treated apple juice were investigated. The HP-CO2 exhibited complete inactivation of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) at 65 °C, whereas PPO was still active 75 °C under thermal processing (TP). Similarly, relative activity peroxidase (POD) significantly decreased by 71% processing, TP less effective....
Food packaging material is the primary element of food industry; therefore, its consideration to sustain quality and safety crucial. Several food-grade materials have been utilized for commodities a long time. Still, these negatively influence safety, shelf life, texture, quality, flavors commodities. Concurrently, biotechnology introduces various techniques produce several edible i.e. polysaccharides protein-based films, intelligent active packaging, which can preserve period inhibit entry...
In this survey aflatoxin, M1 was quantified in raw and processed milk from various areas of two big cities Punjab province, i.e. Lahore Multan. The results indicated that approximately 90% the samples collected city contaminated with aflatoxin M1. Similarly, around 92% Multan All tea whiteners were 56% 66% whitener violating maximum limits. dietary exposure data AFM1 among six different groups calculated, which male children population most vulnerable group to AFM1, up 6.68 ng L-1 per day...
Vitex negundo (VN) is a widely used plant in folk medicine, namely for the treatment of jaundice, wounds, body ache, toothache, asthma, eye pain, and migraine. These effects have been increasingly attributed to its chemical composition. Here, we assessed VN nutritional composition biological activity, with particular emphasis on antioxidant antimicrobial effects. methanol hexane extracts revealed presence important phytochemical, such as terpenoids, polyphenol, steroids, saponins, phenolic...
Banana peel powder is considered one of the most nutritive and effective waste product to be utilized as a functional additive in food industry. This study aimed determine impact banana at concentrations 2%, 4%, 6% on nutritional composition, physicochemical parameters, antioxidant potential, cooking properties, microbial count, organoleptic properties nuggets during storage refrigeration temperature for 21 days. Results showed significant increase content including ash crude fiber ranging...
The study was planned to formulate edible wax coating by utilizing date pit oil. Date oil extracted from three varieties (Aseel, Hallawi, and Dhakki) through solvent extraction method. One variety selected on the basis of physicochemical analysis different treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4) were formulated replacing water in standard formulation with as 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, respectively. storage studies carried out for 16 days; fruit parameters like pH, weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS),...
The hyperglycaemia defines features of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), which is a real time problem and poses significant economic burden on the globe spreading like an epidemic. Currently it affects 384 million people this number expected to reach 592 in 2035 as reiterated by International Diabetes Federation (IDF). By improving quality diet decreasing intake sugary foods T2DM can be treated. Fenugreek seeds powder sachet form 20 g/day used treat mellitus natural supplement. Anthropometric...
Jam Quality is a factor robustly influenced by storage conditions. The current research aimed to develop papaya jam with improved nutritional attributes, rheological profile, and shelf-life utilizing date pit powder as functional ingredient. effect of on the formulated product's physicochemical, microbial, organoleptic properties was analyzed. Results revealed that overall mineral profile (0.35–1.11%), crude fiber (0.56–2.01%), pH (3.51–3.70%), antioxidant (22.97–30.67%) were significantly...
